Still Life |
| By jim carroll and lenny kaye |
| I dont believe in sin |
| But maybe Ill begin |
| A vagrant evils climbing up my skin |
| The shadows from last week |
| Are dancing in the street |
| In homage to the darkness closing in Its hard to say whats different each new morning |
| I need some clue to tell me when or where |
| But it seems I must believe |
| Night wears it on its sleeve |
| A warning that the times come to prepare. |
| .. |
| I owe so much to someone |
| Ive watched her teardrops fall |
| Like wings that melted reaching for the sun |
| I need her to be near |
| To clarify the dangers |
| I didnt come this far to die with strangers |
| I cant explain exactly what Im saying |
| But youre the only reason I still care |
| But things become so clear |
| When the spider licks her tears |
| A warning that the times come to prepare. |
| .. |
| I beg you not to leave me With these warnings in the air. |
| .. |
| I never thought Id say it But for once Im truly scared |
| We create every lie |
| In order to survive |
| To mirror all the terror in our souls |
| With nothing left to steal |
| Lies make our lives seem real |
| It slows down all the madness like a shield |
| I dont know why I need to understand it I dont know if theres anyone who cares |
| I dont know how or why |
| It could be something in the sky |
| That makes it seem its best to be prepared. |
| .. |
| I dont know where it will be Two by land. |
| .. one by sea |
| Sleep with one eye open |
| Be prepared |
| The spectres ride the stallions of my ruin |
| The shifting of my blood tell me its soon. |
| .. |
| I dont know how |
| Or why. |
| .. it could be Something in the sky |
| That makes it seem the time says to beware |
| Little boy, |
| Looking at the sky, |
| Tell me what you see? |
| Little boy |
| Looking at the sky, |
| Tell me what you see?? |
