Songtext Place Jandek

Place

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
