According to an email from Brian Poole (Renaldo): “Djinn House was just a pun on a ‘gin house’ that spawned a sort of paranormal lyric.”

I'm looking at the scratches in the floor
I'm thinking hard that they weren't there before
There's more to see and now they spell a word
And the word is "djinn" which you might think sounds absurd
(Sounds absurd)
[Chorus]
The house is alive, I talk to it
House is alive; it talks to me, too
Folks down here, they say I'm crazy
But crazy is as crazy does, you say
I'm looking at the faces in the wall
I take my time, I have to count them all
I see lips, but first I see the eyes
And the eyes see me, which comes as no surprise
(No surprise)
[Chorus]
The house is alive, I talk to it
The house is alive, it talks to me, too
Folks round here, they say I'm crazy
But crazy is as crazy does, you said
I'm staring at the ripples in the bath
They wave at me with an elemental laugh
So I lay down into the moist embrace
To join as one and become another face
(Another face)
[Chorus]
The house is alive, I'm part of it
The house is alive; it's part of me, too
The folks round here, they say I'm crazy
But crazy is as crazy does, you said
You say
You say
You say
Folks round here, they say I'm crazy
Crazy
Crazy
[Repeated for the rest of the song]
Crazy
Crazy does
[?]
And come when they call
The folks round here they all say
I'm crazy
