Jandek - Place lyrics

rate me

There's a key somewhere — where did I put it

Maybe it's in the car

Maybe it's in a cabinet

Is it in my pocket

Is it in my case

I keep thinkin' about that key

I think about the key

More than what's locked up

What's locked up in that place

What's so special about those things

That I don't want them changed

I want it all like it was

I left it before

We all got to have something unchanged

I want it all like it was,I left it before

We all got to have something unchanged

That we can take for granted

Some place, some object, some constructed thing

We made a thing, and it needs perfection

Who want to be the one

Who makes a change

To this little place

This protected spot

So where's the key

I want to turn the latch

Unlock that place

And see what's there

How can I do what I need to do

In that place with those freed-up things

Laughing and joking and having fun

In an unlocked, freed-up, special place

Where did I put that key

I know it's someplace

Where did I put it

Maybe it's here

Maybe it's there
