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?» |
