Sweeping the Graveyard / The Drowning of Titanic / Taking a Dump on the Universe / Appreciating Tolstoy / Miracles / Tinkerbell




I give it all back to you now
Because, all of a sudden,
The sky seems too vulgar
The patterns are still there
The caveman and his fire
Filthy candles on broken alters
Burn, burn,
Burn with red marks and green goblin-eyes
Burn burn burn burn burn burn burn
Burn burn burn burn burn burn burn burn burn
Burn burn burn burn burn burn burn burn burn burn
burn burn burn burn burn burn burn
I’m a leopard
I’m a shepherd
I’m a ghost with a hairy ass
There’s a ghost right behind you
There’re ghosts in the mirrors
There’re ghosts in the crazy-dead lights

Rewind, rewind
………………………………………………………….

Here’s a new garden and here’s an old flower

……………………………………………………………


You think it’s wine
You think it’s water
You think you’re fine
You think you’re better


I don’t think
I stare at my roof
But I don’t think

The lizard ate the butterfly

……………………………………………………………………


Too much salt and too many salamanders
(Is lizard an amphibian?
I haven’t seen one swim, ever)
There’s the black hole
And then there are muffins

I eat everything.
First, the roof.
Then, the clouds
Then, the stars
Then, the sky
Then, the night
And finally, the muffins

……………………………………………………………………
……………………….


See, it all makes sense

Just use the correct lens
And the correct tense

……………………………………………………………………
…………………………

And they killed each other happily ever after

So leave me alone, and weave your own night

……………………………………………………………………
…………………………
