Abandoned House – William McGuffey Perry Hard to know what to forget Becoming what you ain’t been yet Should you bring your own Or trust what Bad Luck supplies? Where do you put your weight To get your leg over the gate? Hold still and see it careful When you’re down When do the shadows fall To make a tunnel through the wall? How near by is too late? And how far away’s too soon? Can you think over the noise Of all the settled dust? And are those thoughts still hanging In the middle of the room? And if they touch your skin Will your body draw them back in? Spoiled wrong, like bad meat There you fall sick and poisoned Hear that humming sound (sound) It’s the clock grinding you down (Grind you down) But if flats the edge you need (Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck) Cut a path back out to solid ground (Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck) And if you go all the way (Go away, go away) In and out in just a day (In just a day) You’re smaller now You’re bigger now You’re strong when it wears out Put it on your head stone Or your card after your name Unlimited International Artifacts and Accounts Or suppress it down into a Disembodied point instead It’s not a shame, it’s not lost It’s circling overhead What you don’t know or what you do It hurts just knowing you Well enough to rain down all night And drown you in your bed What you do know what you don’t Rearrange at will and still it won’t Work up into an answer or even Keep the question fed
