Light floats down day river on uh red raft o' blood |
|
Night blocks out d' heaven like uh big black shiny bug |
|
It's hard soft shell shinin' white in one spot well |
|
It's hard place dat |
|
I'm livin' but |
|
I'm doin' well, well |
|
The white ice horse melted like uh spot uh silver well |
|
It's mane went last then disappeared the tail |
|
My life ran thru my veins whistlin' hollow well |
|
I froze in solid motion well, well |
|
I heard the ocean swarmin' body well, well |
|
I heard the beetle clickin' well |
|
I sensed the thickest silence scream |
|
Then I begin t' dream my mind cracked like custard |
|
Ran red until it sealed turn t' wooden 'n rolled like uh wheel well, well |
|
Thick black felt birds uh flyin' with capes of solid chrome |
|
With feathers of solid chrome 'n beaks of solid bone'n bleach the air around them white 'n cold well, well |
|
Till it showed in pain the hollow cane clicked like ever after |
|
Its shadow vanished shinin' silence well, well |
