Verse 1
E A F# B (A)(G)
I’ve flown the house of freezing,the house of freezing steel,
A F# B (riff *)
And, though my body’s back, I know it can’t be real,
E A F# B
‘Cause I’ve been on that house with-out a guiding wheel,
A G# C#m B A
The house of freezing steel----, oh, where it’s going.
C#m B A
Picked me up at seven when my eyes were weak
B C#m
From the light of the morning, oh, sister,
B A E
Won’t you tell me what a man might want to know?
G D A B A B A
This madness is fine, yes, if you’re mad at the time--!| / / / /|
Verse 2
(E) A F# B (A)(G)
Back on the house of freezing, the house of freezing steel,
E A F# B (riff *)
They tied my body up, I’m forced to eat my meal,
E A F# B
A cold plate of lamb, and cold potatoes too,
A G# C#m B A
Now what’s a soul to do? Oh, Lord above!
C#m B A
Brother, won’t you tell me, is this a eucharistic dove?
B C#m B A E
‘Cause I’ve been waiting for the right one to ap-pear,
G D
But I’ve seen it in your face,
A B A B A
And, baby, this ain’t the place------! | / / / / |

Verse 3
E A F# B (A)(G)
Up on the house of freezing, the house of freezing steel,
E A F# B (riff *)
I made my mind up then to get me to the wheel,
E A F# B
I made the cabin door, the pilot turned a-round,
A G# C#m B
He said, "We’re venus bound-----!"
A
"Oh, please take me home,
C#m B
After all, I’m only human, and the Earth is were I belong!"
B C#m B A E
I must have looked pitiful to this freak without a face,
G D A B A B A
‘Cause as he touched my head, I saw myself back in bed---!| / / / / |
Verse 4
(E) A F# B (A)(G)
I’ve flown the house of freezing ,the house of freezing steel,
