Who Fell Asleep In |
| She turned her back on the church and put all her faith in me |
| At the back of the chapel |
| Where I taught her to screw and to blaspheme |
| We turned our backs to the church |
| With our trousers around our knees |
| While screaming the scriptures, she said I was her favourite heresy |
| In a note I read, «If you should go blind and deaf |
| I’ll cleanse and I’ll bathe you and I’ll cook for you daily |
| I will take a dry ballpoint pen and trace on your chest |
| All of the same conversations that we have now in bed» |
| I don’t mean to be selfish, but I think I’d sooner just be dead |
| Behind the tennis court alongside the river |
| Not a single live flower to see |
| This is the one girl who woke up from all that |
| And now falls asleep next to me |
| But I swear now, every time that I kiss her |
| She feels her god breathe on her shoulder |
| It pains me, but I’m sure she’s still yours |
| She said she wanted a sea burial |
| Not grass and hypodermics to her hips |
| I pruned the ivy from your grandmother’s tomb |
| More tender and careful than the superstitious |
| Ripped you from your mother’s womb |
| In a note I wrote, «I think too much about the end |
| But being around it made me feel like I’m coping |
| Now when I view the cemetery I don’t see headstones |
| I see rows of engraved middle teeth, hungry, waiting for me» |
| And though I am fearful, I think I just crave the relief |
| Behind the tennis court alongside the river |
| A paper flower’s still a beautiful thing |
| This is the one girl who woke up from all that |
| And now falls asleep next to me |
| But I swear now, every time that I kiss her |
| She feels her god breathe on her shoulder |
| It pains me, but I’m sure she’s still yours |
