Pound of Flesh |
| If you’re never sorry |
| Then you can’t be forgiven |
| If you’re not forgiven |
| Then you can’t be forgotten |
| If you’re not forgotten |
| Then you can live forever |
| If you live forever |
| Then you’ll begin to dream |
| Of death, death, death, death |
| Death… |
| Ezra Pound sat upon my bed |
| Asked me which books as of late I’ve read |
| Ezra Pound sat upon my bed |
| Asked me which books as of late I’ve read |
| Asked me if I’ve, uh, read his own |
| And whether I could spare a pound |
| Of flesh to cover his bare bones |
| I says, «Man, take a pound, take two |
| What’s a pound of flesh between |
| Friends like me and you? |
| What’s a pound of flesh among friends? |
| What’s a pound of flesh among friends?» |
| But if you’re never sorry |
| If you’re never sorry |
| If you’re never sorry |
| Then you can’t be forgiven |
| If you’re not forgiven |
| Then you can’t be forgotten |
| If you’re not forgotten |
| Then you must live forever |
| If you live forever |
| You cannot be reborn |
| If you’re not reborn then |
| You can’t be a baby |
| If you’re not a baby |
| You can’t learn how to crawl |
| If you cannot crawl away |
| Then you must stay in bed all day |
| If you stay in bed all day |
| You’re sure to have some visitors |
| Ezra Pound will sit upon your bed |
| Ask you which books as of late you’ve read |
| Ask you if you’ve, uh, read his own |
| And whether you could spare a pound |
| Of flesh to cover his bare bones |
| You’ll say, «Man, take a pound, take two |
| What’s a pound of flesh between |
| Friends like me and you? |
| What’s a pound of flesh among friends? |
| What’s a pound of flesh among friends? |
| What’s a pound of flesh among friends?» |
