My House Lyrics - Joe Jackson

Moving my car forward a foot at a time 

Another red light, another warning sign 

Is that rain on the windshield? 

Wonder if it's raining on the Jersey side 

Tapping my fingers to the radio 

But I don't hear a thing 

Watching the hookers move in and out of the light 

One of these days, one of these days... 

One of these days 

I'm gonna smash somebody's car 

And smash the copper's face 

As they take me away 

But I gotta go home now 

(Don't want to go to my house) 

I gotta go home now 

(Don't want to go to my house) 

Only forty minutes to the Jersey side 

Me and Suzy used to read the news and stay up all night 

We used to see a lot of people then we just got tired 

And gave birth to a perfect little alibi 

I take a sip of diet soda and loosen my tie 

Another red light, another warning sign 

Hey, that Puerto Rican hooker must be six feet tall 

One of these days, one of these days... 

One of these days 

I'm gonna turn the car around 

And keep on going 

Till I lose track of time... 

But I gotta go home now 

(Don't want to go to my house) 

I gotta go home now 

(Don't want to go to my house) 

Thirty-five minutes to the Jersey side 

(Don't want to go to my house) 

Another red light, another warning sign 

(Don't want to go to my house) 

One of these days, one of these days
