Exquisite Corpse |
Up the stairs, go through the cupboards, secrets are to me |
The droppings of the animal I stalk relentlessly |
Nothing titillating or deliciously decayed |
I guess the truth is nothing special but elusive anyway |
Down on the river bank the watchman shines his torch |
But he sees no sign of the exquisite corpse |
He sees no sign of the exquisite corpse |
All the clues are added up to make a wider scheme |
The patterns are so intricate like opiated dreams |
The characters I see are only actors in a play |
A seedy tv drama to be screened around midday |
I follow her to price-check |
And get the girl to talk about |
Her father and his lawyer and the exquisite corpse |
Her father and his lawyer and the exquisite corpse |
The city murmurs in its sleep incriminating sounds |
Its poisons and its weaponry are scattered all around |
I know there’s more to all of this than I can touch or see |
It’s dead and cold and dangerous, but elegant to me |
With burning eyes and coffee breath and then a day in court |
Still I lay fifty pences on the eyes of this exquisite corpse |
I lay fifty pences on the eyes of this exquisite corpse |
