"A House Is Not A Motel" lyrics

A House Is Not A Motel

At my house I've got no shackles
You can come and look if you want to
Through the halls you'll see the mantles
Where the light shines dim all around you
And the streets are paved with gold
And if you don't think so
You can call my name

You are just a thought that someone
Somewhere somehow feels you should be here
And it's so for real to touch
To smell, to feel
To know where you are here
And the streets are paved with gold
And if you don't think so
You can call my name
You can call my name
I hear you calling my name
Yeah all right now

By the time that I'm through singing
The bells from the schools of walls will be ringing
More confusions, blood transfusions
The news today will be the movies of tomorrow
And the water's turned to blood
And if you don't think so
Go turn on your tub
And if it's mixed with mud
You'll see it turn to gray
And you can call my name
I hear you're calling my name
