    "Come On Up To The House" by Tom Waits from the album 'Mule Variations'
    Lyrics
    Well the moon is broken
    And the sky is cracked
    Come on up to the house
    The only things that you can see
    Is all that you lack
    Come on up to the house
    All your cryin don't do no good
    Come on up to the house
    Come down off the cross
    We can use the wood
    Come on up to the house
    Come on up to the house
    Come on up to the house
    The world is not my home
    I'm just a passin thru
    Come on up to the house
    There's no light in the tunnel
    No irons in the fire
    Come on up to the house
    And your singin lead soprano
    In a junkman's choir
    You gotta come on up to the house
    Does life seem nasty, brutish and short
    Come on up to the house
    The seas are stormy
    And you can't find no port
    Come on up to the house
    (Chorus)
    There's nothin in the world
    That you can do
    You gotta come on up to the house
    And you been whipped by the forces
    That are inside you
    Come on up to the house
    Well you're high on top
    Of your mountain of woe
    Come on up to the house
    Well you know you should surrender
    But you can't let go
    You gotta come on up to the house

      Jesus was physically& mentally tortured. Come on up to the house is kinda metaphoric for fellowship. ' When all u can. I notice he uses more than a few biblical verses. Ex.Cold Water:" I sleep w the snakes& the bugs& I'm reading t Bible by 40 watt bulb". "Lord, I Been changed" "Bad as Me" all have sinned& fallen short of His glory. God ain't snooty,playing games t keep His blessings for His children& mankind.I just started getting into@ yr ago..a genius.

    The understanding that humanity's efforts are futile and that art, in general, is silly anyway is the unifying factor of all expression on Earth that levels and adds as the litmus test to all art. The 'film grain' makes the picture look better in all cinema before digital.
