Bonnie "Prince" Billy & the cairo gang / The Wonder Show of the World / Troublesome Houses
I once loved a girl,
but she couldn't take
that I visited
troublesome houses.
She'd say, when I got home,
to leave her alone.
She could taste
trouble on my mouth.
When she was gone I missed her, I did...
and still went to
troublesome places.
I couldn't withstand a glorious day
without seeing these
troublesome faces.
And quiet eluded me, and keeps from me still,
though I need my own bed and it's solace.
Day's noises steal in and copper my will,
and I face the evils that follow us.
I once had a house,
and my family knew
where to find me if ever they needed.
Troublesome houses
were foreign to them.
They thought all papa's orders I heeded.
Now they can't find me;
they don't have my numbers,
and just hear reports of my doings.
Troublesome houses are not in their minds,
though it's in those I do all my moving.
