Listen, listen:
|
This is mark I cannot place
|
This is the wish I dare not leave
|
Time uncovers what is keeping still
|
I unaware move against my will
|
|
Simon says, "pass on by"
|
Passions wane, stragglers weep
|
Hungers fight
|
For the camera eye
|
|
Hold me so
|
I'll never let you go
|
Stay with me for a while
|
(while I sleep)
|
|
Momma squeeze
|
Grace my spine
|
Walk on thru the camera eye
|
|
Listen, listen:
|
This is the name I cannot speak
|
This is the flame I dare not douse
|
Here, things are
|
We'll never get that far
|
Close enough to die a time or two or three
|
|
Stretch my skin
|
Restless gods
|
Maybe turn my heart of hearts
|
Deposit change in the camera eye
|
|
Who needs pain to survive?
|
I need pain TO CHANGE MY LIFE
|
In gentle myths and turning leaves we all come to bury truth
|
|
Honey choose my wet dream
|
A naked soul just has to grieve
|
If I bleed, the camera cries
|
No one doubts the camera eye
|
|
Move fast forward thru the camera eye
|
Move fast forward thru the camera eye
|
The camera eye
|
The camera eye
|
|
