slivers of silver
that have been there a moment
and gone with the blink
and gone with the blink
of an eye is the next word
for which I've waited
for which I've waited
and saved up all my nickels
my new Schwinn Flyer
my new Schwinn Flyer
waxed, painted, like a callgirl,
my darling, Rosebud.
my darling, Rosebud,
upstaged by closing doorways
as they kiss his hand
as they kiss his hand
he thinks of the sea and home
the singing mermaids
the singing mermaids
with their sweet alluring wiles
swing home the mast sail
swung home the mast sail
to the rhythm of the sea
till it took her home
till it took her home
her memories were pleasant
time so slow creeps on
time so slow creeps on
when fear comes knocking. I wait...
...wait...for him to go.
Wait for him to go
my cats nod, then blink their eyes
they don't know I know
they don't know I know
the universal truth whispered by aliens
once at night, chilling
once at night, chilling
I pulled your arm over me
covers kicked away
covers kicked away
pillows smashed against the wall
blood gushing in veins
blood rushing in veins,
rushing rasp of the inhale,
another day dawns.
