The Hissing of Summer Lawns |
He bought her a diamond for her throat |
He put her in a ranch house on a hill |
She could see the valley barbecues |
From her window sill |
See the blue pools in the squinting sun |
Hear the hissing of summer lawns |
He put up a barbed wire fence |
To keep out the unknown |
And on every metal thorn |
Just a little blood of his own |
She patrols that fence of his |
To a latin drum |
And the hissing of summer lawns |
Darkness |
Wonder makes it easy |
Darkness |
With a joyful mask |
Darkness |
Tube’s gone, darkness, darkness, darkness |
No color no contrast |
A diamond dog |
Carrying a cup and a cane |
Looking through a double glass |
Looking at too much pride and too much shame |
There’s a black fly buzzing |
There’s a heat wave burning in her master’s voice |
Hissing summer lawns |
He gave her his darkness to regret |
And good reason to quit him |
He gave her a roomful of Chippendale |
That nobody sits in Still she stays with a love of some kind |
It’s the lady’s choice |
The hissing of summer lawns |
