[Intro]
Say
And I say "me"

[Verse 1]
Boys with their ambition
The sparkle dies down
I could believe in such things
Boys with their ambitions
Sparkle dies down
I could believe in such things

[Chorus]
This house is cold
This house is mine
This house is yours
Like friends of mine

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, I could boys like down like some down like boys suppose
Ooh, I could down like boys like could down like you
Ooh, I could down like boys like could boys like could down like cries
Boys cry

[Verse 2]
Boys scream "down"
Like boys fell down
I could believe in such rain
Me falling down
Falling boys
Like and I
And I can see such...no

[Chorus]
This house is mine
This house is cold
This house is yours
These friends of old

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, like could down like boys on the ground like I suppose
Ooh, I could down like boys underground like you
Ooh, I could down like boys on the boys on the ground like me
Boys like
Crying "down" like
