It's the smell of hot summertime trash.
|
It's the city noise of a busy street.
|
It's a train derailed and two car head
|
on freeway crash each time we meet.
|
"and if it comes as some sort of surprise,"
|
she said "that I seem so composed, I've
|
kept this moment closer to my eyes," she
|
said,"than the glasses resting on the
|
edge of my nose."
|
|
Shadow am I! Shadow am I!
|
A question of a person, no said reply
|
Wolf am I!
|
Wolf and shadow cast on the sheep as I pass by.
|
Shadow am I! Shadow am I!
|
or like a wearing-black-socks-and-white-woolen-locks
|
Wolf am I!
|
And shadow.
|
|
She was graceful and green as a stem,
|
but I walk heavy on delicate ground.
|
Oh, there I go showing off again.
|
Self-impressed by how well I can put myself down...
|
and there I go again, to the next further removed
|
level of that same exact feigned humility,and this
|
for me goes on and on to the point of nausea
|
|
Shadow am I!
|
Like a suspicion that's never confirmed but it's never denied
|
Wolf am I!
|
No, "shadow" I think is better,
|
cuz I'm not something more like the absence of something
|
So Shadow am I!
|
|
The whole material world seems to me like a
|
newspaper headline.It explicitly demands your
|
attention and it may even contain some truth...
|
but what's really going on here?
|
|
One day the water's gunna wash it away
|
One day the water's gunna wash it away
|
One day the water's gunna wash it away
|
and on that day...
|
One day the water's gunna wash it away
|
One day the water's gunna wash it away
|
Nothing clever to say.
|
One day.
|
Nothing else to say.
