Cold Blue Steel out of money
|
One eye for the beat police
|
Sweet Fire calling
|
"You can't deny me
|
Now you know what you need"
|
Underneath the jungle gym
|
Hollow-grey-fire-escape-thief
|
Looking for Sweet Fire
|
Shadow of Lady Release
|
"Come with me
|
I know the way" she says
|
"It's down, down, down the dark ladder
|
Do you want to contact somebody first
|
Leave someone a letter
|
You can come now
|
Or you can come later"
|
|
A wristwatch, a ring, a downstairs screamer
|
Edgy-black cracks of the sky
|
"Pin-cushion-prick-
|
Fix this poor bad dreamer!"
|
"Money" cold shadows reply
|
Pawnshops crisscrossed and padlocked
|
Corridors spit on prayers and pleas
|
Sparks fly up from Sweet Fire
|
Black soot of Lady Release
|
"Come with me
|
I know the way" she says
|
"It's down, down, down the dark ladder
|
Do you want to contact somebody first
|
Does it really matter
|
If you come now
|
Or if you come on later?"
|
|
Red water in the bathroom sink
|
Fever and the scum brown bowl
|
Blue Steel still begging
|
But it's indistinct
|
Someone's Hi-Fi drumming Jelly Roll
|
Concrete concentration camp
|
Bashing in veins for peace
|
Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire
|
Fall into Lady Release
|
"Come with me I know the way" she says
|
"It's down, down, down the dark ladder
|
Do you want to contact somebody first
|
I mean what does it really matter
|
You're going to come now
|
Or you're going to come later"
|
