House of 1982 Built Like a Ship Lyrics
You were my first experiment
Too bad I'm prone to failure
How can I be a citizen
When all I see are tetrahedrons?
I will never ever get an "F" for effort
That won't bring back my only daughter
I don't mind if I die unidentified
As long as I'm buried in architecture
What are you offering, are you offering
Is it free?
What are you offering, are you offering
Is it free?
In the House of 1982, built like a ship
Your legs are like roots
What are you offering, are you offering
Is it free?
I'll tie your eyes together
Even if you sleep forever
If you squeeze my hand again
I'll gladly have a coronary
I will never ever get an "F" for effort
That won't bring back my only daughter
I don't mind if I die unidentified
As long as I'm buried in architecture
What are you offering, are you offering
Is it free?
What are you offering, are you offering
Is it free?
In the House of 1982, built like a ship
Your legs are like roots
What are you offering, are you offering
Is it free?
When I lost you, I didn't know what I would do
But then I conceived of what I could be
A family man, inventor and an architect
The primary subject of this inquiry
What are you offering, are you offering
Is it free?
What are you offering, are you offering
Is it free?
In the House of 1982, built like a ship
Your legs are like roots
What are you offering, are you offering
Is it free?
Too bad I'm prone to failure
How can I be a citizen
When all I see are tetrahedrons?
I will never ever get an "F" for effort
That won't bring back my only daughter
I don't mind if I die unidentified
As long as I'm buried in architecture
What are you offering, are you offering
Is it free?
What are you offering, are you offering
Is it free?
In the House of 1982, built like a ship
Your legs are like roots
What are you offering, are you offering
Is it free?
Even if you sleep forever

I'll gladly have a coronary

That won't bring back my only daughter
I don't mind if I die unidentified
As long as I'm buried in architecture
What are you offering, are you offering
Is it free?

In the House of 1982, built like a ship
Your legs are like roots
What are you offering, are you offering
Is it free?

I love this song it's so catchy :).
I have a few corrections for you:
It's actually "An 'F' for effort' because in the next line he follows up with 'but that won't bring back my only daughter' implying that he tried, but eventually /killed/ or /lost/ his daughter.

sorry I meant
When all I see are tetrahedrons
sorry somethings wrong with me today
I too may have a correction for you:
I think it might be "I will never ever get an F for effort"
That's what it sounds like to me, but I'm not entirely sure. :)
