I live in a tiny closet
A lukewarm cold water flat
With room for a couple of cinders
A mouse, a hole, and a trap
I don`t worry about the flights
Or count the stairs
`Cause I know
Someone`s there
I took a high paying sweeping-up job
Dusting after somebody else
Seeing that there`s clean on the windows
Convincing the snow to melt
I don`t worry about the ride
Or the subway fare
`Cause I know
Someone`s there
One day we`ll move uptown
Or even out to the country side
And for every leaf on a tree
We`ll add one cub to the pride
Who cares if the floor ain`t level
Or if the ceiling falls in
Haunted by the devil
And ghosts and boogeymen
I can`t be concerned
Why should I care
No place I`d go alone would compare
`Cause I know
You`re there
