This country looks like one big car park. The winters are so very long. And everybody wonders where the light has gone. . And shallow is moving state lines.
I threw out the photographs. Like yesterdays flowers. I tried to erase the past. But it won't go away. . I painted the second room. and cleared out the basement.
When I hear the men outside my window kicking down my door. All the megaphones are screaming letters of the law. Would you walk in through the gate and visit me?.
You grow your nails too long. The scratches on your arms. You taste like orange chocolate. You always put your hands in my pockets. . Your teeth are not quite straight.
Eyes that stare through television. Intermission in his mind. Where there once was such ambition. Blared like a bass line when the bass line's right. .
Alone in my room, I switch on the tube. And wave at the screen, it stares back at me. So I turn to the sky, watch as it dries. Just waiting in here for the car to appear.
The pages burn, the babies scream. And lovers text in Japanese. The more you give, the more they need. The more you live, the less you see. . Religion breeds like a disease.
I'm shaking and making and talking to the sky. I shiver in the night that I can't see. You're as dark as the mascara that you slap on your eyes. Look what you've done to me.
Estuary girl you're not the one. You don't belong to the world that I'm from. Your lazy words blow like confetti in the wind, in the wind. Estuary girl you're not part of my scene.
Well, I'm looking for a love as strong as death. That's part of our minds and part of our flesh. Looking for a love that takes away our breath. Equally heart and equally head.
