Floating Away |
| It’s the weight I’m trying |
| To get inside the frame |
| I’ve been painting a fat man |
| He’s big and fat and heavy |
| As a man can be |
| But he’s been floating away, floating away |
| He’s been floating away from me |
| In the mirror my withering skin |
| Is a thorny pleasure |
| I stand unflinching |
| And I mark each crease and sting |
| My brush my wooden flail |
| My ancient thresher |
| As unforgiving time flays everything |
| It’s the truth I’m trying |
| To get inside the frame |
| Now I’m painting myself naked |
| But I need a pair of boots |
| About as heavy as boots can be |
| Or I’d be floating away, floating away |
| I’d be floating away from me |
| And every thorn sends thistledown |
| Drifting all around |
| And floating away, floating away |
| Floating away from me |
