Homestretch (shadow entry)
by Lichen Throat

This is one of those songs where the lyrics never directly mention the subject, which is left as an exercise for the listener. I'll keep the explanation behind a spoiler tag, in case anyone is interested in figuring it out. Those of you from Wisconsin may be somewhat advantaged.
Liner Notes
This song is about Frank Lloyd Wright and his continually expanding house, Taliesin, in Spring Green, Wisconsin, which was the site of numerous scandals and tragedies, including two fires and a mass murder.

Assuming I understood the polyrhythm/polymeter explanation properly, the verses are in polymeter and the chorus is in polymeter.

Driven out of Chicago
For stealing a client’s wife.
Now I’ve got to let go
My chef with his butcher knife.
I went out of town, and they were
Dead when I came back.
Seven people murdered
By the hatchet man’s attack.
My house keeps burning down;
Let’s build another wing.
Encircle this hill like a crown,
And treat me like a king.

My new wife loves Gurdjieff;
I've got students at my home.
They do all the drafting,
So I can freely roam.
Those guys can't find girlfriends, so
My wife cooked up a plan.
They’re giving her ideas a try—
I hope it doesn’t get out of hand.
My house keeps burning down;
Let’s build another wing.
Encircle this hill like a crown,
And treat me like a king.

Add another room, add another hall.
(homestretch, homestretch)
Make it nice and wide, but I don’t want it tall.
(homestretch)

I don’t like to pay taxes,
So I'll say I'm a charity.
I’m still afraid of axes,
And can't practice austerity
No one can beat my mystique,
So I’ll design your city.
My houses have a few leaks,
But man, they sure look pretty.
My house keeps burning down;
Let’s build another wing.
Encircle this hill like a crown,
And treat me like a king.
