House of Flowers Lyrics

I know that he saw you naked
You know that I don't mind
'Cause he knows that he was a station
On your way to me

I know he never saw your house of flowers
House of flowers bloom
House of flowers that you grew for me

I know that you've got your problems
You know that I've got mine
You don't have to dance to the doldrums
Our rhythm's divine

When I get inside your house of flowers
House of flowers bloom
House of flowers that you grew for me

You never wanted someone else's name
And I never wanted to be the duke in my domain

I know he never saw your house of flowers
House of flowers bloom
House of flowers that you grew for me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
