| I stood helpless to the threat
|
| Of a heavy lid i’ll never lift
|
| And when the gavel hit the desk
|
| Metal shut around me
|
| Marshals at my wrist
|
| Led me down the longest hall
|
| Down the darkest throat
|
| Of the hardest animal
|
| And just listen to the wind
|
| Wailing like the wounded

| On’t let the ad men fool you

| You got everything you need
|
| Out in your sheets beside your love
|

|
| Memorize the pose
|
| Despite all the hatred i held for you
|
| Despite all the violence i could do
|
| Just beyond, there is love
|
| And when i’m alone with only my thoughts
|
| And as you might know, i’m alone a lot
|
| It’s the love i’m thinking of
|
| Out in that city like a dream
|
| See the breezes go around you
|
| See the long grasses yield
|
| Be out there exiting the bars
|
| At the finest hour of morning
|
| Nearly lost, but not
|
| Be warm and steady in the wind
|
| And your soft, imperfect body
|
| Do not cover it |
