Well, I'm just strumming with my brother Safe inside his house of wonders A Lion and a Raven in The Cathouse (The Cathouse) Now take us back to high school where the runners ran right by school And the janitor and teacher Threw that trash upon our table It was fabled that the Jiggling man Would take the hand of Carolyn And everybody danced and sang along They roped us right on in then when we'd leave and break the law Should've seen it coming it's the only thing we saw I have witnessed scraps and fights that leave the crowds in awe Learned to stand our ground but its the only thing we love Back in that old haunted Cathouse Where all my friends they used to go All the pleasures were for free Back in that old haunted Cathouse If only I could turn back time, that's where I would be He wants to write a song about old times and past close friendships Well there are still things left to say Now here I stand I'm an older man I'm a colder man as a music man I'm 24 years old and I've just began to understand These lessons taught in life are better taught through strife Ships that stay in harbors are safe But why, oh why, oh why Why would you build them in the first place? Back in that old haunted Cathouse Where all my friends they used to go All the pleasures were for free Back in that old haunted Cathouse If only I could turn back time, that's where I would be And just as my 17 year old mind was quiet I was blinded, noise was playing organized, the organs playing harmonized That sharp tongued blond kid really caught my eye the way he made the teacher cry And that's what she deserved for all those years dehumanizing peers of mine And lest we forget, wasting four years inside an Alley Ain't so good for your mortal soul While a friendly little blonde with a pretty face Melts your heart so you act up some big disgrace But that's not how you were raised Back in that old haunted Cathouse Where all my friends they used to go All the pleasures were for free Back in that old haunted Cathouse If only I could turn back time, that's where I would be
