When you get up |
|
When you wake up, oh |
|
Put your hands up |
|
Pick yourself up, oh |
|
And you pull yourself up underneath the dugout cubby enclave of the sidewalk overhang, |
|
cement buckled upward and the rain came dripping through the crack. |
|
We hear the voice of Italo sing of a holy fire. |
|
When he stomped, the dirt fell on our eyes. |
|
Hell, he stomped. |
|
It was a mystery to me when you crawled out from underneath the sidewalk overhang, |
|
cement buckled upward and the rain came dripping through the crack. |
|
We heard the voice of Italo sing. |
|
In the second zone of the city |
|
a baby born in the nightclub mold |
|
where goons dry heave the factory glue |
|
all crust-lipped and bloody nosed. |
|
Fire took the roof off, |
|
hollowing the carcass (licked it like a bone). |
|
Sway and moan to songs of some pitchless praise, stoned. |
