Long Slow Slide |
Lights are bright in the circus |
The geeks and the freaks all light cigarettes |
And laugh at your misery |
While the white of the curtain closing crushes your heart |
The inertia of loneliness tears your flesh apart |
It’s a long slow slide |
It’s a long slow slide |
It’s a long slow slide |
Down |
Once the neon is gone |
There’s still that golden splinter at your side |
His manners are charming |
But who are you fooling |
You’re still nobody’s bride |
And Bukowski’s widow |
Haunts each empty seat on the ferris wheel |
As ghoulish lovers collide in a collage of kisses that they steal |
It’s a long slow slide |
It’s a long slow slide |
It’s a long slow slide |
Down |
And outside the window |
The circus crackles and lurches |
With rings of smoke |
You laugh halfheartedly at the punchline |
Not realizing they’ve made you the joke |
And inside my heart a war is raging |
A region still untamed |
The worst fear I can imagine is for the mystery to be named |
For the mystery to be named |
It’s a long slow slide |
It’s a long slow slide |
It’s a long slow slide |
It’s a long slow slide |
It’s a long slow slide |
It’s a long slow slide |
Down |
