Esta es la casa (This is the house) Este es el cerro (This is the hill) Esta es la historia (This is the story) Es algo chiquitito (It's a little thing) This is the house This is the hill This is the story, it's a little thing A lock of hair An invisible smoke trail Nothing there but the dust and the rust Oh, oh, oh everything changes This is your picture (it's in black and white) This is the family having a party There's a crack in the ceiling And there's an open door Nothing there but the dust and the rust Oh, oh, oh everything changes
