House of fire
Yeah!
Let's build a house of fire, baby
Not one of wood or stone
Walk through my door of desire, baby
Come on in and make it your home
Don't need a window to watch you, baby
Don't need no roof overhead
Don't need no key to unlock ya, baby
I'll use my lovin' instead
I won't tire
Take me higher
Building a house of fire, baby
Buildin' it with our love
We are buildin' a house of fire every time we touch
House of fire
House of fire
We ain't gotta pay rent now, baby
No landlord to throw us out
I want to play in your garden, baby
When you want it give me a shout
I won't tire
Take me higher
Building a house of fire, baby
Buildin' it with our love
We are buildin' a house of fire every time we touch
We are building this house together, baby
Standing on solid ground
We are building a house of fire that you can't tear down
Brick by brick the flames get higher
Build it strong with our desire
Building a house of fire, baby
Building it with our love
We are building a house of fire every time we touch
We are building this house together, baby
Standing on solid ground
We are building a house of fire that you can't tear down
Building a house of fire, baby
Building it with our love
We are building a house of fire every time we touch
House Of Fire - Alice Cooper
Released on the 1973 album Trash, 'House Of Fire' stands as a defining track in Alice Cooper's evolution from horror-themed shock rock to hard rock. The song features the band's signature heavy distortion and driving rhythm, marking a shift toward a more aggressive sound that would characterize much of their subsequent discography. While the track retains the theatrical elements of Cooper's stage persona, it leans heavily into the blues-rock and hard rock influences that were emerging in the early 1970s. It serves as a pivotal moment in the artist's career, bridging the gap between their earlier theatrical horror acts and the raw, guitar-driven rock that would eventually lead to their status as a rock icon. The recording exemplifies the era's transition from psychedelic experimentation to the polished, high-energy rock sound that dominated the charts.
