Don’t be bitter, danny, oh I know you’ll be famous one day
You’ve been spending all your time on drawings and, noble though that is,
I suppose she just grew tired of you

One day while making dinosaurs from clay with little august
You got bored and caught your carmen with a friend, legs extended, 
Out behind the goat pen where you once proposed

And these walls set at right angles, they belie what’s going on inside
Danny stands
His voice is strangled
He says "I have a better shape in mind…”

Danny built his house all spiral!

So in the back and up a slope you built your house of matches
While wife and lover moved into the family house, the one you built from scratch one afternoon
to celebrate your honeymoon

Danny you built your coiled castle tall but unassuming 
Right next to a stately grove of birch trees and a bubbling spring
And you know
Danny alone is king

While sliding down to breakfast we all marveled at his shelter
“there’s no need for stairs” says danny “when you live in a helter skelter”
Well you may be a lover
But you ain’t no dancer
