Stone on Stone

V6

[Intro – spoken, close] Cousin— you asked about the room. I remember. [Verse] Men drew walls and men drew doors, men forgot what walls are for. They poured the gin, they fed the poor, and hid one room behind one more. I've watched them come, I've watched them go. Men forget. But stone— stone knows. [Chorus] Stone knows stone. Wall knows wall. What's been hidden isn't gone at all. Cold door. Dark floor. One way in that isn't there anymore. Stone knows stone. And I know where they hid the door. [Break – low strings, stalking beat] [Verse – half spoken] You want the passage? Find the cold. Find the place the bottles rolled. Past the kitchen, through the steel— some doors vanish. Some conceal. [Final – building, then sudden stop] Stone knows stone. Wall knows wall. Pink gin flowed where shadows fall. Tell your friends to bring a light— and tell the one with lock-picks... I said good night.
