O'Keefe | |
Come with me now into a piece of velvet | |
And a plastic painter's daring dance of death | |
We'll journey very far into the surface | |
Those not used to diving hold your breath | |
The lady of my dreams paints scars of velvet | |
On the mirror are the words she chose to speak | |
And there the heavy hands that hang suspended | |
Wrote: The Easter undertaker's laughter breaks | |
Painter, she cried, it's mourning | |
She stared like a saint undone | |
Painter, she cried, it's morning | |
And we cannot find the sun | |
I offered her my cap and tiny shovel | |
Saying, surely this will hide you from the sun | |
I obtained it from a banker in depression | |
He was a memory from 1931 | |
She butchers up her meat in careful quarters | |
Knowing the prize at stake is very high | |
And she builds a worn cliché into climax | |
Knowing she will barely get by | |
Lady, return my dream | |
It wasn't free, it's not for sale | |
Lady, return my dream | |
And let me go on with the telling of my tale | |
Her gentle voice cried quietly to thank me | |
It's nothing, the hollow answer said | |
I let her ride the railroad line to Nowhere | |
And left the lost survivor on her bed | |
Lady, return my dream | |
It wasn't free, it held my life | |
The portrait ends in a scream | |
Two hearts held together with a knife |
