I was just a small boy
Outside, having fun
Older guys would talk about
The house of the setting Sun
Where the stairs lead to nowhere
And there's windows on the floor
Don't be afraid if you go there
You can always go home
If you can't find the door
In the House of the Setting Sun
In the House of the Setting Sun
I was just a young guy
Twenty-some years old
Looking for something to work for
Beside what I'd been told
I found myself at the old house
I made my way to the front door
And it was way before dawn when
Suddenly, the lights went out
But the band played on and on
In the House of the Setting Sun
In the House of the Setting Sun
I was just a wanderer
Trying to seize the day
Train tracks lead to nowhere
Needles in the hay
Then I had a revelation
For the place I used to roam
When I met my destination
Thousand prying eyes upon me
Asking me things I don't know
In the House of the Setting Sun
In the House of the Setting Sun
Now that I'm much older
Time not healing that
Locks on all the windows
But the ghosts keep coming back
If the mystery's faded
From the days I used to roll
Fired up and fascinated
All around the world to find out
I'm already home
In the House of the Setting Sun
In the House of the Setting Sun
In the House of the Setting Sun
In the House of the Setting Sun
