David Grubbs - The Thicket lyrics



To begin with, it's a voice
much like the one that last spoke
as an echo it edits
it only tells half a joke

A gap precedes the rejoinder
editorially it's cruel
a statement comes back a question
a question returns a rule

You could set your watch to it
if you didn't care about the time

When you decide to level with the thicket
can you really play it or do you just trick it?

You learn not to mind the gaps
the rhythm is positively tidal
it renders up a presence in which
silence returns as an idle

Silence returns idling in a purr
idling like a delayed punch
or a line marking contours of
a figure inescapably blunt

When you decide to level with the thicket
can you really play it or do you just trick it?

And then it's our two voices
estranged, in non sequitur
jokes multiply as phrases divide
along a higher form of humor

With two of us before the thicket
i answer you with a question
that by definition returns in shards of
gambit, or just ambition
