The Hoopers of Hudspeth Songtext

von Kaki King

When you were looking for the lost will
In the old mansion
Tap, tap the walls, inch by inch
The beautiful wings guarding

And listen for
The hollow sound
Tap, tap

She speaks through the walls
Saying how to spend her morning
She took some bad advice

Give it up, took it back, give it up again
What you gonna do when there's nothing left
Nothing left for them?

Be still, my children
As you won't get your money back
Give it up, don't, don't, confiscate it
Come and save it up now

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 won't tap by
