Jandek - Answer lyrics

I heard the bell ring

I wondered who was there

There was an orange sky behind the mountain

Just a silhouette of a horizon

And then I was in the car

Looking out the back window

And I saw the nose and eyes

Closed on that ancient face

And the corner of the post

And the cut-glass chandelier

A flashlight looked at me

I couldn't even see the hand

The side of the wall had two windows

Green light shone through them

Maybe an ear and a touch of hair

Somebody's at the door

But it's so hard to see

Imagination's taking over me

I got geometric patterns

There's lightning bolts and shafts of vapor

And a long coat in the haze

They're waiting for me to come and see them

But I keep imagining it's not there

It's back in the black and the red and the yellow

And the storms and the arrows and hieroglyphics

I can find out who you are

I can think about the stairs (stares?)
