dead man's house

you rolled in on a cold wind

i remember that night so well

saw a widow in a window

you thought she needed your help

like a wolf in sheep's clothing

just covered her eyes in wool

you're not a savior

you didn't save her

you just played it like a fool

you ain't the king of this castle

you ain't the rule of this roost

baby

let me save you the hassle

your feet will never fit in them boots

you're just standing in the shadow

there ain't a shadow of doubt

never gonna win this battle

you're never gonna wear that crown

you're just living in a dead man's house

living in a dead man's house

you're just living in a dead man's house

living in a dead man's house

you can lay there

you can stay there

you can keep on trying to pretend

it's a joke though

cause we both know

who's chair you're rocking in

so go on

put a show on

if it helps you sleep at night

but you can't be that man

no matter how hard you try

you ain't the king of this castle

you ain't the rule of this roost

baby

let me save you the hassle

your feet will never fit in them boots

you're just standing in the shadow

there ain't a shadow of doubt

never gonna win this battle

you're never gonna wear that crown

you're just living in a dead man's house

living in a dead man's house

you're just living in a dead man's house

living in a dead man's house

you're just living in a dead man's house

living in a dead man's house

you're just living

living in a dead man's house

you ain't the king of this castle

you ain't the rule of this roost

baby

let me save you the hassle

your feet will never fit in them boots

you're just standing in the shadow

there ain't a shadow of doubt

never gonna win this battle

you're never gonna wear that crown

you're just living in a dead man's house

living in a dead man's house

you're just living in a dead man's house

living in a dead man's house
