lirik lagu dave malloy - the clochán
vi. the clochán
beckett
when you’re nursing a heartache
sometimes you look back
trying to find the reason
your life has gone off track
parents and grandparents
every branch along the tree
trying to trace the tumor
that ended up in me
susan & sadie
listen to the stone
lay your hands upon the stone
for the stone stands watch for a thousand thousand years
beckett
why am i like this?
susan & sadie
listen to the stone
see the sparkle on the stone
for the stone will never die
beckett
why am i cursеd with demons and death?
(a knock at the door.)
shelob
strangеr at the door beckett?
beckett
don’t come near me!
shelob
or is the knocking coming from inside the house?
beckett
i get it now gramps!
these walls are too thin!
boxes!
there’s a huge stack of broken~down amazon boxes
plus the boxes from my move;
plenty of materials—
i can make a clochán!
protect myself from others!
protect others from myself!
(he begins to build a clochán out of cardboard boxes.)
shelob
yes, beckett, yes!
beckett
a house made of stone
where i can’t hurt anyone
a house made of stone
where no one can hurt me
a house made of stone
where i can’t hurt anyone
a house made of stone
where i can’t get hurt
susan & sadie
listen to the stone
lay your hands upon the stone
for the stone stands watch for a thousand thousand years
listen to the stone
see the sparkle on the stone
for the stone will never die
(phone ring.)
sadie (on the phone, as sister)
beckett? it’s your sister
when are you gonna come see the baby?
beckett
not now, not now
finish the hut
(a knock at the door.)
beckett
go away!
shelob
yes beckett
shut yourself in!
deeper and darker!
the bas~m~nt is mine, all mine!!
(shelob ascends in ecstasy.)
beckett
a house made of stone
where i can’t hurt anyone
a house made of stone
where no one can hurt me
beckett, susan & sadie
a house made of stone
where i can’t hurt anyone
a house made of stone
where i can’t get hurt
wolf

(beckett resumes building the clochán.)
beckett
a house made of stone
where i can’t hurt anyone
a house made of stone
where no one can hurt me
a house made of stone
where i can’t hurt anyone
a house made of stone
where no one can hurt me
(beckett, susan, and sadie enter the clochán. beckett lays the final stone.)
beckett, susan & sadie
