Open House |
| Open house now for your fading heart |
| Tell your ghost it’s time to hide; |
| Strangers won’t know when to stop and start |
| Once they’ve fin’ly got inside |
| Spir’ling staircase toward your dusty mind |
| With crates and boxes and bags and trunks; |
| No one cares what tender dreams they’ll find |
| All they’ll see up there is junk |
| With silver dollars from a ragdoll’s ear |
| And merc’ry dimes for buttons, too |
| And flutes and whistles only kids can hear |
| And peacock feathers green and blue |
| Deep depression in a walnut grain |
| Afternoons on rainy days; |
| Once it stacked up well in both your brains |
| And now it’s all some purple haze |
| With vandals picking locks and breaking doors |
| And smashing keepsakes all around; |
| Souvenirs of love and foreign shores |
| And scrapbook pages all unbound |
| It’s open house now for your fading heart |
| Tell your ghost it’s time to hide; |
| Strangers won’t know when to stop and start |
| Once they’ve fin’ly got inside |
