The Dream and the Light |
A limousine |
To the infusion suite |
Down a rainy street |
Early dawn |
Eyes that sweep |
Skin that feels |
And the swish of wheels |
And the radio |
All the feeling we shared on the car ride |
All the fear that was there on the other side |
All the souls that were spared |
Oh, and those that we left out to die |
You fell from the nest |
In your suicide vest |
They tapped a decree |
From their side of the screen |
It’s Father’s Day |
For the father in me |
Oh, bachelor prince |
Oh, brain on two feet |
Oh, master of wandering meat |
All ghost-faced in oxidised green |
Increasingly inward-involved |
And cut off from the scene |
And you coughed through the car park |
Leaked through a slug in your lung |
The day wasted away |
TV sang its lonely song |
Our dream was born dead |
We thought it was shared |
We thought that it ran |
Laughing 'cross the beach |
Lit by shine of the sea |
Made for you and for me |
Ah, but we were deceived |
Because what was the dream? |
It was wired to explode in the city square |
It was drugs they dropped into your drink |
It was dread, it was doubt |
It was never about what you think |
And we walked through the ballpark |
All the fans had gone home |
The night breathed like a dream |
The air sung like a song |
Raised from the dead |
In the Benz back seat |
I encountered the magazine king |
He was wearing that old high school ring |
Ah, to see the aggressor with clarity |
In the early-morning obliviated light |
Ah, to hear his confederates whisper |
«Just don’t even fight» |
«Ah, well met, well met, well met» said he |
«Now you’re part of the parasite family |
And I wouldn’t expect no more charity |
There are screams in the street |
Though it seems you can sleep through the night» |
I bit my nails until blood |
Walked alone with my phone |
It was pissing down rain |
I was more than alone |
With the agency creation has gifted me |
What am I gonna do with my poor body |
Ah, but take it and use it |
And place it upon some front line? |
Maker of light |
You are made of light |
Oh, maker of love |
You are made of love |
Oh, maker of light |
You are made of light, made of light |
Oh, maker of love |
You are made of love |
Oh, maker of light |
You are made of light, made of light, made of light |
Oh, maker of love |
To be made of love |
