Marbles |
Her haircut, she looked virtually |
In that dress growing ever tighter |
It was saddening the lengths she had gone to To appear more attractive |
In the process losing something |
We never knew but still missed |
You knew you were lost as soon as you saw her |
You saw your life as a series of complicated dance steps |
Impossible to learn, they had to come naturally |
Together you squirmed and wriggled |
And I could only jerk along behind |
Theyre going to hurt you |
They always will |
She is now with me, inside of you |
And I could only stare wide-eyed |
As everything closed in around the three of us Things you never saw, talking of the power and rescue (?) |
She opened the door his face bruised and swollen |
Before he knew, pushed, falling down curved stairs |
Our message lost and our plans forgotten |
Surrounded by men in suits, and black shiny shoes |
Moving in, kicking, stamping |
Bland expressionless faces |
A handful of marbles thrown in a dustbin |
Memories, memories |
In a northern town there were amazing stones arranged on the southern slope |
They got out in the last few seconds of consciousness |
Look for their inscriptions one day, the most distant ocean plains, |
those who make the desert island |
I saw you in a tin bath in red water |
Were the ones who went to washington to do their laundry |
They wanted to see the mysterious hurricane |
I never believed in new york, or where you intended to stand |
But we dont actually want to see the shipwrecked |
I just had to go They came |
