Walls Down

Jandek


I start with the base 
And blow the walls down 
You'll be holding your clothes 
The wind will be that strong 
But God, what a face 
You always have had 
I know I can't undo it 
I can last another year 
Why should I worry 
I can only lose what I've been given 
I can't be afraid 
Of the other side 
I won't go looking 
It will find me, I know 
But I've had lots of practice 
I pushed around and I found 
The greeting of a sharp sting 
Left me paralyzed 
I say to you now 
I'll start with the base 
And blow the walls down 
And you'll be holding your clothes 
The wind will be that strong
