House Divided (Where have all the hormones gone?)
Thermostat wars: I turn it up, she turns it down. Honey, I still love you.
Story behind the song
Thermostat wars: I turn it up, she turns it down. Honey, I still love you.
Lyrics
It was the middle of the summer
the sun was beating down
Cars were boiling over, all over town
Imagine my surprise when I opened up my door
And everything inside was frozen to the core
I should have been ready, but it sure is gettin’ old
Livin’ in a house divided,
the upstairs is warm and lighted
and the downstairs is dark and cold
When I went to bed last evening,
I checked the thermostat
Everything was normal, right where it was set
I woke up in the morning
and went down to get my shoes
When I realized that my feet were turning blue
I should have been ready, but it sure is gettin’ old
Livin’ in a house divided,
the upstairs is warm and lighted
And the downstairs is dark and cold
Sudden weather changes can be dangerous, I’m told
When you’re not prepared for the cold wind to blow
You never hear ‘em comin’, they’re quiet as a mouse
And you don’t expect the weather
to be changing in your house
I should have been ready, but it sure is gettin’ old
Livin’ in a house divided,
the upstairs is warm and lighted
And the downstairs is dark and cold
I decided to relocate to the sunny South
For those warm gulf breezes I’ve heard so much about
But when you come to see us, anytime of year
Don’t forget your long johns
‘cause it’s always winter here
You gotta be ready, don’t believe what you are told
You’ll be in a house divided,
the upstairs is warm and lighted
And the downstairs is dark and cold
