lyrics

I find the many peck marks in the dark brown walls of typhoid Mary's little hovel underground
it's made from irises and mud, a little piss, a little blood, a lion in red across the door
you'll cross her threshold and you'll ask yourself a question and it's 'what's the smell that glistens all around?'
it's not the cauldron bubbling with its tiny kippers or the bread that's in the oven getting warm

you'll find the many peck marks in the dark brown walls of typhoid Mary's little hovel, like I said
they follow down the hallway, feel what they're playing, blow into them and they'll sing a tune you know
into the kitchen, 'hind the aprons and the knives, there is a door that wears a star upon his head
you'll have to force him, mind your skill, and pass into, underneath the pewter bucket, there's a glow

take three, no two, and into three, and tangle up the melody, and you can lift the bucket from the hatch
the hatch will open with this talisman, beneath your hand and then the lock will break and reach inside
'oh, did you think you were alone? you foolish man of flesh and bone, who strives to reach beyond the latch
I've moved my safe since then and in its place a geyser, reach on in and open there to meet your bride'
