There is nothing but a shout
Grasping and gaping for the shrill
Though it tends to be the one foot out
The House shivers and doubts
Motor is running yet still,
There is nothing but a shout
Why is it that we make a route
To resume the sunken search of will
Though it tends to be one the foot out
And the impudent, overbearing crowd
For them a hollow play until,
There is nothing but a shout
So then, the wild look to scout
Aiming and aiming to fulfill
Though it tends to be the one foot out
Though there is silence throughout
In the House, a loud souvenir
There is nothing but a shout
Though it tends to be the one foot out
