| [00:12.34] |
Baby's ball is all blood red of flayed pigs |
| [00:17.27] |
And silk soft little things |
| [00:20.33] |
Fill a house hung from strings |
| [00:23.77] |
And I fly out on my silver, scissoring wings |
| [00:30.53] |
With the other sardines |
| [00:33.77] |
Over cities of things mommies need |
| [00:37.27] |
Light as gas, and half-assedly free, |
| [00:44.27] |
Like I was in nineteen ninety three. |
| [00:52.21] |
|
| [00:54.96] |
Over the ruins like we're staggering apes. |
| [00:57.12] |
|
| [00:59.80] |
What we get's what we take |
| [01:04.24] |
In a split open place where a man can get kinged |
| [01:09.60] |
In a palace of panic and flames |
| [01:14.07] |
Where nobody gets blamed by the tired, |
| [01:17.20] |
And broke down, and beat. |
| [01:23.60] |
In sunken gardens where there was a street. |
| [01:34.42] |
|
| [01:35.87] |
West over water I rambled and paced, |
| [01:40.94] |
And the blood river raced like the sweat down my face. |
| [01:47.63] |
And the stadium roared, and the warriors embraced. |
| [01:54.64] |
And the golden shore groaned beneath the weight of my tastes. |
| [02:01.60] |
And I blazed in the last orange hours of the day, |
| [02:11.47] |
Until the dust hazed and hid us away. |
| [02:19.33] |
Little baby, be brave. |
| [02:22.09] |
I see your dad riding over the rise, |
| [02:28.21] |
|
| [02:32.59] |
Crashing his whole cavalcade through the crowd. |
| [02:37.66] |
Watch them run on all sides. |
| [02:38.02] |
|
| [03:09.43] |
The neon white branches, |
| [03:11.19] |
And the carrion fly |
| [03:12.02] |
On a congressman's eye |
| [03:15.15] |
I have wrapped up for you in some old autumn leaves, |
| [03:21.90] |
And left under a rock out on Rockaway Beach, beneath the trees. |
| [03:31.62] |
|
| [03:32.80] |
I have laughed my best hiss to the whistling breeze. |
| [03:37.62] |
There's a hole in my throat. |
| [03:42.63] |
You can note my last wheeze if you need. |
| [03:49.49] |
Then take hold of the rope |
| [03:52.55] |
And down we scream. |
