I want a house

With a record player in every single room

So that I can shoot songs from the hip

And sing through my paper-thin doom


I want a house

Whose doors are stoic and wide

Whose gilded, lockless handle

Smiles in warning of what goes on inside


I want a house

That waits by the water

By a river that would welcome my reflection

And drown all those silly souls that sought her


I want a house

With a heaven-high steeple

Because I’d climb a thousand steps

To get away from you people.
