Bedeck your gown in bricks.
|
There's leeches stealing across the stage.
|
Come hell or ocean water I won't end up without.
|
Applaud the gall of the black cloud groping a drunken teenage vow.
|
As saline drips from her prom dress, damp hands are dessicated.
|
There's a wolf at the window of the second floor who kidnaps your date with a new car.
|
We both want the same thing.
|
Bad poetry and assaults at the bar.
|
Just try and stop me.
|
We are the only one in the world.
|
Prepare the ballroom.
|
Quicksand in front of the coat check.
|
Waltz with the scarecrow in the spotlight through the rye.
|
I was born a wanted man.
|
But I'll die a sailor's wife.
|
God help me pick the lock to her room I have to make this right.
|
Scream the hounds to sleep for me.
|
I'm creeping around in your head like a vine.
|
Your spit is the meat of the rose harvested by the dull.
|
Let the doves fly, unhook their leather wings from the fog.
|
Put your foot and mouth together for the sweethearts of Vietnam.
|
In a photo taken of us, at the reception held at the jail loverboy is breaking up just to the right side of me.
|
I will stop at nothing.
|
I am the siren that sings you home.
|
Is that clear?
|
I will stop at nothing.
|
I am the tooth in your jewelry box.
|
Is that clear?
|
Let pry the crows.
|
Unhinge their crooked beaks from the clock
|
Put your foot and mouth together for the sweethearts of Vietnam.
|
Bolt the gate for the head of the ivory tower.
|
Adoration is cutting the phone lines to your heart.
|
Love is here.
|
I am the snarling and starry-eyed.
|
We both want the same thing.
|
Better aim at the stranger in our yard.
|
Just try to stop me.
|
I am the blinding light of your life.
|
Prepare the body.
|
I've been better but thanks for asking.
|
Wait with the scarecrow for the spotlight in the rye.
|
I'll eat you alive.
|
The calm will come again.
