Down in the waves She screams again Roar at the door My mind can’t take much more I could never drown They wanna get my… They wanna GET my- Gold on the ceiling I ain’t high Just a matter of time Before you steal it It’s alright Aint no dog in my house Clouds hovered low Barbred wire fence Strung up, Strung out I just can’t go without I could never drown They wanna get my… They wanna GET my- Gold on the ceiling I ain’t high Just a matter of time Before you steal it It’s alright Aint no dog in my house "When the power of Love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace." -Jimi Hendrix Posted 5 months ago #

TripleJenks fan Joined: Apr '10 Posts: 7 offline	Eh Mirbs, I think the parts that you have as "ain't no dog in my house" are actually "ain't no God in my eye". Also the "I ain't high" I believe are, "I ain't got". Again, could be wrong, but that's what I'm hearing. Posted 5 months ago #

I didn't think I was anywhere near correct on all of it. ain't no dog in my house is probably way off because that just sounds stupid. the only way i justified it was because if someone was going to steal from you, and you had a big dog in your house, they would have a more difficult time stealing things... lol Posted 5 months ago #
Mirby 2.0 tour bus driver Joined: Apr '10 Posts: 3,575 offline	also, "i ain't high" could definitely be wrong too, and probably is. I don't know about "i ain't got" though because the next line i'm fairly sure IS correct "just a matter of time" so I don't see how "i ain't got" fits there either? again, it sounds silly and is likely incorrect but the way i justified it was if you just blurted out "gold on the ceiling" people would think you're high, and you may have to tell them you're not high, heh Posted 5 months ago #

Danleary drunken admirer Joined: Sep '09 Posts: 918 offline	Actually I think it really is "God in my eye," triplejenks was right Posted 5 months ago #

If that makes any sense, I'm probably way off though haha Posted 5 months ago #

I thought it would be a fun game to see how close we could come. But now the album release is upon us and neither the vinyl nor the cd contain lyrics. So I don't really wanna play anymore because the game will never actually end. No final answer. Posted 5 months ago #

Gold on the ceiling, I ain't blind, It's just a matter of time, Before you steal it. Ain't no guarding my eye. Clouds covered love, barbed wire snared. Strung up, strung out, I just can't go without. I could never drown. They wanna get my, they wanna get my. Gold on the ceiling, I ain't blind. It's a just a matter of time Before you steal it, it's alright ain't no guarding my eye. That's what I was able to come up with. I think it's pretty accurate. Posted 5 months ago #
