If I leave before the Raven
|
Just before the empire falls
|
We might find the occasion
|
To dance upon those city walls
|
|
Just imagine if each line you drew
|
Was directed by you
|
And imagine that each cup you filled
|
Was a moment meant for you
|
|
And illuminated red
|
And illuminated white instead
|
Like a red sock burning through my table
|
Lying in my bed
|
|
If I wake before they close up
|
Just before the washing's done
|
I can watch my warm socks spinning
|
And write a song to strike you dumb
|
|
Just imagine if each word
|
We said was collected in a bag
|
And imagine if your mouth on mine
|
Could bring all those atoms back
|
And imagine lions and geese in here
|
And imagine cars and trains
|
And imagine perfect sleep in here
|
From the tyre tracks in your brain
|
|
And illuminated red
|
And illuminated red instead
|
Like a white sun burning through my TV
|
Lying in my bed
|
|

Illuminated Red
