I've flown the house of freezing, the house of freezing steel   And though my body's back I know it can't be real   'Cause I've been on that house without a guiding wheel   The house of freezing steel   Oh where's it going, picked me up at seven   When my eyes were weak from the light of the morning   Oh sister won't you tell me what a man might want to know   This madness is fine, yes if you're mad at the time   Back on the house of freezing, the house of freezing steel   The tied my body up, I'm forced to eat my meal   A cold plate of lamb and cold potatoes too   Now what's a soul to do   Oh Lord above, brother won't you tell me   Is this a eucharistic dove   'Cause I've been waiting for the right one to appear   But I've seen it in your face, and baby this ain't the place   Up on the house of freezing, the house of freezing steel.   I made my mind up then to get me to the wheel   I made the cabin door, the pilot turned around   He said we're Venus bound   Oh please take me home   After all I'm only human and the Earth is where I belong   I must have looked pitiful to this freak without a face   'Cause as he touched my head I saw myself back in bed   I've flown the house of freezing, the house of freezing steel   And though my body's back I know it can't be real   'Cause I've been on that house without a guiding wheel   The house of freezing steel
