Her mouth, it was moving. but no sound was coming out. and your back, it was turning. around. . and we were always dreaming of the day that would never come.
While you were sleeping your babies grew. The stars shined and the shadows moved. Time flew the phone rang. There was a silence when the kitchen sang.
Tomorrow may not come, honey. your love was never wasted on me. I know you like the river darkly. you looked right like a stranger to me. . Who is to utter light to utter darkness.
I saw a woman. out in the evening. going her Mary way. up a city block. . Stricken by a strange pose. bent out of shape. the pose of a puppet. master gone.
And now the night and the liquor wear off. I see your sister more clear. Now that the sun has warmed the sky. . Won't you sleep, my lady. Go to sleep baby.
Last night was the science-fiction. Movie with you and me. You in your velvet space-helmet. Me in my rainball hat. . If you'd write my lines. I would gladly play father-time on your tv-show.
I ring into zero. 'why you so long off darling?. you're so right so. right so right. . All lit up on the insides. your eyes betray no nighttimes. mirrors where the panes had been'.
Step from the dark bright ocean. Cradled by the interior wave. Under the song so long time gone. Come outnumber the days I have waited. . So many suns.
My friends, the presidents I pass away. Haunt all corners {& coroners} of my current state. In no clearer measure of my living will. This is my two dollar bill.
It hasn't been this bright. In a century and a third. At this time of night. In the great wide world. . The moon is overhead. Her light shines down on me.
Well, I don't care, your cameras caught me crying as I left your gates. Or that your maintenance men, they caught our last embrace. Well, you were on the verge of tears when I first knew I would know you.
I heard a sound. When I was a child. Someone was walking through the pillow that night. The snow muted. The pitch of night. A shadow approached across a field in white.
Now when the famous. anchor went up in tongues. was laughing led out of studio one. Oh he turned to wave 'good by my friends & all. look for me at the head of the sun.
Stay if you want. There is enough. Sadness for the. Both of us. . Follow the sound. To the table underground. There will be plenty. Tears goin' round.
I turn up like midnight. Like the edge of town. Of all the loose matches. I'll move among the found. In fact they'll call me sire. As I rise to the crown.
Say, you're a much nicer person. since the hog's heart was inserted in you. say how it is now with your new life. . Well, there's no more aching. or a heart breaking.
Come, lay here beside me. And I'll fear no death. I'll give you my body. And I'll breathe your breath. . No-one will harm you. Inside this song. We will be safe here.
Go ask for the gasoline, mama. Go ask for the gasoline, mama. say please, oh pretty please. may I have the Gasolina Mama. . Oh but i let you win. you silhouette and wing.
Jean Cocteau is covered in butter. The ghosts of Cappucino and Zaza hover. In the hallway where the devil and his lover. Beg you for change on the slide.
The tents go up. As I go down. Down to the flats and into the sound. The closer I get to the city. The further I am from memory. In the green grass looking up.
