Runaway to the rundown hideaway

Untangling the web my limbs at angles mangled manacled

Managed to wrangle my way out on pure anger, tank it Havel

Book it from the bank heist, down a gravel drive no one in sight

Dip inside wondering if this isn’t something from Resident Evil

Ceiling and wallpaper peeling, stairs creaking, appealing

To me at this time for its walls and doors with locks

A grandfather clock the posture of a penitent adopted

Still tolls and knows the hour, it resounds through the house

I see a mouse scurry across the lounger, stirring dust

A nice place but the furnishings are tacky, upstart accountant

Rather than a count from old money, not with these couches
