There's a key somewhere — where did I put it   Maybe it's in the car    Maybe it's in a cabinet    Is it in my pocket    Is it in my case    I keep thinkin' about that key    I think about the key    More than what's locked up    What's locked up in that place    What's so special about those things    That I don't want them changed    I want it all like it was    I left it before    We all got to have something unchanged    I want it all like it was,I left it before    We all got to have something unchanged    That we can take for granted    Some place, some object, some constructed thing    We made a thing, and it needs perfection    Who want to be the one    Who makes a change    To this little place    This protected spot    So where's the key    I want to turn the latch    Unlock that place    And see what's there    How can I do what I need to do    In that place with those freed-up things    Laughing and joking and having fun    In an unlocked, freed-up, special place    Where did I put that key    I know it's someplace    Where did I put it    Maybe it's here    Maybe it's there
