A Whorehouse Is Any House Lyrics - Singles - Will Oldham

there's a woman i see at a bar that's near me 

that catches my eye repeatedly 

and so it's ? that i wait until four 

when the bar turns its lights out and closes the door 

and then i may follow her cautiously home 

where she would go walking or stumbling alone 

and i can't help but want to see her at her window 

and to want to approach her and stand just alone 

and i needed so much to have nothing to touch 

and i wanted so dear to have nothing so near 

and to render the city unbounded and pretty 

so to slip in and out of her and then to slip off 

goodbye to the city, goodbye to the girl 

her room is left standing, her room is my world 

and it it she slips into bed without thinking 

and i follow closely for i have been drinking 

and slip in beside her and she doesn't stir so 

i settle up closer and warmer to her 

and so the night passes and so the sun comes 

as we sleep and we wander on what we have done 

and i needed so much to have nothing to touch 

and i wanted so dear to have nothing so near 

and to render the city unbounded and pretty 

so to slip in and out of her and then to slip off
