lyrics

That was when I learned that words are no good
That words don’t ever fit even what they are trying to say at
We had to use one another by words
Like spiders dangling by their mouth from a beam
Swinging and twisting, and never touching
I would think of how words go straight up in a thin line
Quick and harmless
And how terribly doing goes along the earth
Clinging to it
So that after a while the two lines are too far apart
For the same person to straddle from one to the other
And that sin and love and fear are just sounds
That people who never sinned nor loved nor feared have
For what they never had
And cannot have
Until they forget the words
I would let him be the shape and echo of his word
That was more than he asked
Then it was over

But for me it was not over
I mean over in the sense of beginning and ending
Because to me there was no beginning nor ending to anything then
My father said that the reason for living is getting ready to stay dead
I knew at last what he meant
And that he could not have known what he meant himself
Because a man cannot know anything about cleaning up the house afterward
And so I have cleaned my house
