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.
