The Hoopers of Hudspeth

When you were looking

for the lost will

in the old mansion

tap tap the walls

inch by inch

the beautiful wainscoting

And listen for

the hollow sound

tap tap

She speaks through the walls

saying how to spend her money

She took some bad advice

Give it up, take it back, Give it up again

Whatcha gonna do when when there's nothing left

Nothing left for them

Be still my children

There's one thing you

gotta give them

Don't ????????

And listen for

the hollow sound

tap tap

Twenty-five years is a long time to be gone

even in the eyes of god-

damn it takes you so long

to realize

no one wants you here

I wonder why
