Martin Tielli World in a Wall Lyrics

guitar tuned down 2 steps
The X has moved out.
Out of this house
(in)to the outside around it.
I watched her feet pound it.
It didn't work out.
First there's a click,
then there's a breeze
somewhere outside in the trees,
and the bathroom just sits
with the memories of a million sh*ts.
There's a world in a wall
that's dark and it's small.
Here gathers the mighty dust ball
on a pink fiberglass bed
for the screwdriver left there.
The mite and the spider.
The multi legged wonder
that last week had scared her
and broke our silence with laughter.
She's like a mouse,
I know she's around.
It's a gnawing sound.
Leaves little brown poohs
from a little pink bum.
Inside the closet.
Around the files.
Behind the crates.
She's barely adolescent.
Up on the counter -
that's where I caught her -
little pink tongue
licking the butter.
There's a world in a wall.
The mighty dust ball.
The mouse and the spider
pause by each other
and move on.
