Down In the Basement
Brock Zeman

It's all down in the basement

On that I'd lay a bet

When the dish ran away with the spoon

I know just where they went

They're all down in the basement

They've got knick-knacks, ruck-sacks, a bag full of bones

A stranger smoking in the corner beneath a naked bulb

A table missing a leg groaning under a heavy load

Of Christmas lights, scrap iron and a fishing pole

They've got books in every language from Portuguese to Mandarin

Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Lion, the Tin man

Bo Peep's sheep, Miss Muffet's curds and whey

If you listen close you'll hear a voice from a hole in the wall say…..

They've gotta record player skipping through a song

And Venus de Milo's hands start clapping along

There's water dripping from a pipe to a tobacco tin on the floor

The mice on the freezer are doing to dosey-doe

They've got the Bee's knees, the Cat's pajamas

Rain coats, overalls and grease-stained bandanas

There's a hundred pound anchor holding back an old hound

The ghost of Townes Van Zandt is lurking around

You can hear screaming at night from the top of the stairs

Ain't no one been down there for twenty-nine years

Except for my Granddad who did it on a bet

And whatever he saw he hasn't spoke of it yet
