Thumbtack
Take a light bulb from the closet
And replace the one above the faucet
Scrape the whisker from my face
Nick my lip in pointless haste
Take a magical marker black
Darken a spot on the map
Of a county on the coast
Where I was born out of a ghost
Underneath the ceiling fan
Contemplate a master plan
Breathe a sigh of recognition
For a childhood superstition
Push a thumbtack in the wall
Pierce the picture, I did draw
It's a graphic portrait from my youth
And it hurts my heart this forced review
And replace the one above the faucet
Scrape the whisker from my face
Nick my lip in pointless haste
Take a magical marker black
Darken a spot on the map
Of a county on the coast
Where I was born out of a ghost
Underneath the ceiling fan
Contemplate a master plan
Breathe a sigh of recognition
For a childhood superstition
Push a thumbtack in the wall
Pierce the picture, I did draw
It's a graphic portrait from my youth
And it hurts my heart this forced review
