Lyrics
Gabled Roofs
gabled roofs in the neighborhood
understand why I’m no good
pointed faces stare and accuse
white paint can’t be amused
transgressions filed in the lobe on the right
in the attic with a censor flashlight
so strange on a street so straight
brains battered by the garden gate
cloven hooves on the family pet
I’ve got a dream that I can’t forget
spattered curtain stashed in the can
muddy footprints on the ceiling fan
blood dripping from the battle fought
you brief candle me damn spot
I hear the echo of the sliding grate
and the padlock on the garden gate

Lyrically, Wolverton is unanchored, very visual and moving equally through memory, story, and association, with dark streaks of tradition.
