Lyrics - Thumbtack by Vic Chesnutt

take a lightbulb from the closetand replace the one above the faucetscrape the whisker from my facenick my lip in pointless hastetake a magic marker blackdarken a spot on the mapof a county on the coastwhere
I was born out of a ghostunderneath the ceiling fancontemplate a master planbreathe a sigh of recognitionfor a childhood superstitionpush a thumbtack in the wallpierce the picture
I did drawit's a graphic portrait from my youthit hurts my heart this forced review
