Apartment To Let - Magpie Tales #207

Apartment To Let

Can’t tell me no one heard

The kid hid in the closet

Heard every smack and groan

Windows open to the night

Sirens screaming by below

Party in the place above

Breaking glass and laughing

There’s always a break you know

Everything stops for just a minute

The rest of the world butts in

Can’t tell me they didn’t hear her

Thumpin’ up against the walls

Fallin’ over furniture

Wailin’ like the sirens

Spittin’ blood and cryin’ out

Cursin’ life and love

Makin’ for the hallway

Puttin’ space between hurt and the baby

I hope the fucker fries

I hope the neighbors have bad dreams

I hope the curtains twitch and haunt

This neighborhood but good
