death lady's man
The man she had always desired was hanging by a thread
"I never even understood how much I wanted you," she said
His muscles could be counted, and his style was old-fashioned
"Darling, I've arrived too late." She kneels at his feet.
"I won't see a face like yours in all the men to come
I won't see arms like yours in wrestling or in love"
And all his virtues burn in the smoky holocaust
She takes upon herself much of what her lover has left behind
Now the master of this landscape stood before the view
With a San Franciscan sparrow to which he was preaching
He waved to the sentinel in a very religious manner
She said, "I'll make room between my legs,
I'll show you loneliness."
He offered her an orgy in many rooms of mirrors
Promised her protection from the troubles of childbirth
She scraped her body against a pointed metal spoon
Stopping the bloody ritual of the moon's passage.
She took her highly valued Eastern attitude
And the alibi to the Heart of Darkness that her money hides
She took his blonde Madonna and the wine from the monastery
"This mental space is occupied by everything that is mine"
He made one last resistance near the railway
She said, "The art of desire is finished and will never return"
She took his bar parliament, his hat, and his cheeky dance,
Mocked his feminine charm and his bourgeois mustache.
The last time I saw him, he was desperately searching
For a feminine education, but he is not yet a woman
And the last time I saw her, she was living with a boy
Who gave her soul an empty room and joy to her body.
The great story has ended, but who would have ever imagined
That it would leave us all so absent and deeply indifferent
It's like our visit to the moon or that other star
I guess you don't need a reason to go there
If you really want to go that far.
It's like our visit to the moon or that other star
I guess you don't need a reason to go there
If you really want to go that far.
It's like our visit to the moon or that other star
I guess you don't need a reason to go there
If you really want to go that far.
