Locket - Crumb

I live in a house with a tin roof and every time it rains

I can feel my brain is moving

Back and forth

Upside down

Eastwards

Feeling I’m remembering

Everything you do

I was up last night

Tossing and turning

Couldn’t get to sleep and I slept thru the morning

Need to clear my head and get out of the city

All alone in the jungle you’ll find me

Close your eyes

And hear my secret

Deep, deep loving

Hear my secret

Hear my secret

Hear my secret

Sometimes I can hear the tremble below me

Pounding thru the floor

My body so restless

It lives in the basement below some boxes

Makes me feel so strange and so thoughtless so

Maybe someday this roof will cave in

You’ll find me on the floor looking at the stars

These walls are made of brick, plated in gold

But I’m still here

Growing so old

Close your ears and hear my secret

Deep, deep loving

Hear my secret

Hear my secret

Hear my secret

Close your eyes and hear my secret

Deep, deep loving

Hear my secret

Hear my secret

Hear my secret
