Place Lyrics - Jandek

There's a key somewhere where did I put it 

Maybe it's in the car 

Maybe it's in a cabinet 

Is it in my pocket 

Is it in my case 

I keep thinkin' about that key 

I think about the key 

More than what's locked up 

What's locked up in that place 

What's so special about those things 

That I don't want them changed 

I want it all like it was 

I left it before 

We all got to have something unchanged 

I want it all like it was,I left it before 

We all got to have something unchanged 

That we can take for granted 

Some place, some object, some constructed thing 

We made a thing, and it needs perfection 

Who want to be the one 

Who makes a change 

To this little place 

This protected spot 

So where's the key 

I want to turn the latch 

Unlock that place 

And see what's there 

How can I do what I need to do 

In that place with those freed-up things 

Laughing and joking and having fun 

In an unlocked, freed-up, special place 

Where did I put that key 

I know it's someplace 

Where did I put it 

Maybe it's here 

Maybe it's there
