  I've flown the house of freezing, the house of freezing steel

E               A             F#                   B
  And though my body's back I know it can't be real

E                    A               F#                 B
  'Cause I've been on that house without a guiding wheel

The house of freezing steel

A                  C#m               B
Oh where's it going, picked me up at seven

                     A
When my eyes were weak from the light of the morning

C#m                   B              A              E

     G          D         A                         B
This madness is fine, yes if you're mad at the time

  Back on the house of freezing, the house of freezing steel

E               A             F#                   B
The tied my body up, I'm forced to eat my meal

E               A             F#                   B
A cold plate of lamb and cold potatoes too

   G#                 C#m  B
Now what's a soul to do

A             C#m                   B
Oh Lord above,    brother won't you tell me

         A
Is this a Eucharistic dove

C#m               B               A            E
 'Cause I've been waiting for the right one to appear

         G               D         A                         B    A B A
But I've seen it in your face, and baby this ain't the place

Hey
[Verse 3]
E                A                 F#                       B
  Up on the house of freezing, the house of freezing steel.

E           A               F#                   B
  I made my mind up then to get me to the wheel

E               A            F#                  F#
  I made the cabin door, the pilot turned around

   G#               C#m    B
He said we're Venus bound

A
Oh please take me home

C#m                   B           A
   After all I'm only human and the Earth is where I belong

C#m                   B                 A             E
   I must have looked beautiful to this freak without a face

       G                D    A                        B
'Cause as he touched my hand I saw myself back in bed
[Verse 4]
