The House Wins Lyrics - Oh No - Ok Go

Fingers blistered from the nightly scratching at the window 

Which won't open far enough to let air in 

The house wins, oh, the house always wins 

Feral cats are screaming at the clouds beneath the window 

With the cracks so small that nothing gets within 

The house wins, oh, the house always wins 

You don't have to be alone to be lonely 

You might as well give in 

Telephones are howling at the cats out in the alley 

And the window offers nothing in the din 

The house wins, oh, the house always wins 

Clouds uncage the car alarms to chase the cats and telephones 

Fingers rake and rasp away their skin 

The house wins, oh, the house always wins 

You don't have to be alone to be lonely 

You might as well give in 

Yeah, you don't have to be alone to be lonely 

You might as well give in 

Ice age upon catastrophic ice age of selection 

And only one result has trickled in 

The house wins, oh, the house always wins 

If evil were a lesser breed then justice after all these years 

The righteous would have freed the world of sin 

The house wins, oh, the house always wins 

You don't have to be alone to be lonely 

You might as well give in 

You don't have to be alone to be lonely 

You might as well give in 

You don't have to be sick to be dying 

You might as well give in 

You don't have to have lost to be lost 

Oh, give in 

You don't have to be alone to be lonely 

You might as well give in
