the sun shines in across the table
the curtains dancing in the breeze
strange atmosphere
bears no relation to the world outside
slip out of gear
tune into fragile waves from yesteryear
this is martha's house built on hallowed ground
people come and go but they never know
this is martha's house built on hallowed ground
nothing much to steal, good insurance deal
this is martha's house
this is martha's house
this is martha's house
and today she gazes over fields of corn
in the distance endless houses, her hometown
and her childhood memories surface like a long lost dream
so many wasted years she spent
so many wasted years she spent
the demolition gang moves in
there's no escape she takes it on the chin
200 years, wiped out to make way for a superstore
strange atmosphere
a cloud of purple dust blows in the wind.
this is martha's house built on hallowed ground
people come and go but they never know
this is martha's house built on hallowed ground
nothing much to steal, good insurance deal
this is martha's house
this is martha's house
this is martha's house
