Come on up to the house

A beautiful and enlighted song by Tom Waits, with a simple but creative video clip. It's worth watching:



All your cryin don't do no good
Come on up to the house
Come down off the cross
We can use the wood
Come on up to the house

Absolutely touching. Follow the lyrics on the man's skin and try to understand the full meaning of this deep song.
By the way:
Where and what is "the house"? Why does he say "the world isn't my house"? Tell me your opinion in the comments.
