The X has moved out.

Out of this house

(in)to the outside around it.

I watched her feet pound it.
C
It didn't work out.
C
First there's a click,
Em
then there's a breeze
F
somewhere outside in the trees,
D5
and the bathroom just sits
C
with the memories of a million shits.

C
There's a world in a wall
Em
that's dark and it's small.
F
Here gathers the mighty dust ball
D5
on a pink fiberglass bed
C
for the screwdriver left there.
Em
The mite and the spider.
F
The multi legged wonder
D5
that last week had scared her
C
and broke our silence with laughter.
Em F D5
C
She's like a mouse,
Em
I know she's around.
F
It's a gnawing sound.
D5
Leaves little brown poohs
C
from a little pink bum.
Em
Inside the closet.
F
Around the files.
D5
Behind the crates.
C
She's barely adolescent.
Em
Up on the counter -
F
that's where I caught her -
D5
little pink tongue
C
licking the butter.
C
There's a world in a wall.
Em
The mighty dust ball.
F
The mouse and the spider
D5
pause by each other
C
and move on.
