| Fast car connected with knee
|
| I rolled over hood
|
| Head connected with street
|
| On pavement I started to bleed
|
| Onlookers said Hail Mary’s for me
|
| Woke from a dead sleep last night
|
| Felt a presence at my bedside
|
| Cold lips pressed tightly to mine
|
| The ghost of walking upright
|
| Birds pick the ticks from the herds
|
| Tongue loses grip on its words
|
| Fast cars jump curbs
|
| What we did in Swineburne Park wasn’t worth much
|
| But it’s worth this remark:
|
| We mated out of season and spent the winter grieving
|
| You said there’s gold in them there hills
|
| You said there’s pleasure in crushed pills
|
| You said you’d take them over meals
|
| God I hate the sound of your voice
|
| You wanna be a rich Henry Darger
|
| But it don’t work that way, partner
|
| You’ve gotta live in those trenches
|
| You can’t eat off real art
|
| Birds pick the ticks from the herds
|
| Tongue loses grip on its words
|
| Fast cars jump curbs
|
| What we did in Swineburne Park wasn’t worth much
|
| But it’s worth this remark:
|
| We mated out of season, spent our winter grieving
|
| Oh Mr. Artist. |
| I think you missed your calling
|
| Heard you got a job on a road crew, just to eat
|
| Heard you cry the whole time
|
| «I've got a college degree!»
|
| Heard you got a job at a niteclub, just to eat
|
| Heard you cry the whole time
|
| «They should be watching me!»
|
| Here’s a word from the Earth, here’s her decree:
|
| Don’t care don’t care don’t care
|
| Don’t care don’t care don’t care |
