The House That Dripped Blood |
| Look beyond the broken bottles |
| Past the rotting wooden stairs |
| Root out the wine-dark honeyed center |
| Not everyone can live like billionaires |
| Look through the air-thin walls |
| Tear up the floorboards, strip the paint |
| Go over every inch of space with the patience of a saint |
| Grab your hat, get your coat |
| The cellar door is an open throat |
| Look past the kitchen cabinets |
| Go through the chest of drawers |
| Scrutinize the casements |
| Rip the varnish off the doors |
| Dig up the laughing photographs |
| They’re here somewhere or other |
| Take what you can carry |
| But let me tell you, brother |
| Still water’s going stagnant, bodies bloat |
| And the cellar door is an open throat |
