Martin Tielli — World In A Wall lyrics

Lyrics

The X has moved out
Out of this house
(in)to the outside around it
I watched her feet pound it
It didn’t work out
First there’s a click
Then there’s a breeze
Somewhere outside in the trees
And the bathroom just sits
With the memories of a million shits
There’s a world in a wall
That’s dark and it’s small
Here gathers the mighty dust ball
On a pink fiberglass bed
For the screwdriver left there
The mite and the spider
The multi-legged wonder
That last week had scared her
And broke our silence with laughter
She’s like a mouse
I know she’s around
It’s a gnawing sound
Leaves little brown poohs
From a little pink bum
Inside the closet
Around the files
Behind the crates
She’s barely adolescent
Up on the counter —
That’s where I caught her —
Little pink tongue
Licking the butter
There’s a world in a wall
The mighty dust ball
The mouse and the spider
Pause by each other
And move on
