i could hear the tv playing as i was coming up the stair loud enough the dead could hear you ve been watching all your game shows trying to find a code like there s some trick that they don t want you to know you ve been stashing all your empties in the neighbor s bins like the landlord doesn t know you re drinking you ve been sermonizing every day just to keep your ghosts away it s a wonder that you find so much to say oh you need a new gospel because the bottom fell out the old one long ago
