|
| IT'S A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT
| FROM HERE TO THOSE STARS
|
| feathers on the sides
| of my fingers
|
| IT'S A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT
| FROM HERE TO THOSE
| TREMBLING STARS
|
| and the feathers so
| fresh
| and the nerves so
| fresh
|
| Do you swear
| the breastbone
| was bare
|
| i saw it
| and made my
| escape
|
| Do you have
| any doubt
| that he slept
| in that bed
|
| i can only repeat
| i never saw
| him
|
| Better listen
| before you fly
| all over your
| man
|
| Better listen
| before i spill
| you in
|
| if you could
| turn on your
| side
|
| move your touch
| to that hip
|
| Easy now
|
| easy now
|
| it's a beautiful
| night
|
| Garcia
| A cigarette
| for the
| prisoner
|
| THAT RIBBON CRACK
| LIKE THIS ONE AND
| THIS ONE CRACK LIKE
| THOSE OVER THERE AND
| THOSE OVER THERE CRACK
| LIKE THESE TWO
|
| BRINGING THOSE STRUTTERS
| BRINGING THOSE STRUTTERS
|
| AND THAT ONE CRACKS
| LIKE THESE DO AND
| THESE DO JUST LIKE
| THIS OVER HERE AND
| THIS OVER HERE
|
| And out on the rim
|
| All the calcium planets
| growing in
| the darkness
| All over the
| body
| The flapping body
|
| clickety click
| clickety
| click
|
| I have a greenlight
| for fifty thousand
|
| It was the month of
| july
| We had more in or
| going out
|
| You were responsible
| for rolling stock
|
| I acn only repeat
| i never saw him
| in bed
|
| Do you know what
| happened to most
| of the children
|
| She opened the
| tent
| to tame a morset
| of air
|
| before the sun
|
| came up
