What with suddenly everything you said to me I had better not have that in a cup of coffee I've got thorns in my mind from the books I've read I'm sick of metaphysical gardening, what if? Proven were you here any longer or Even I have to never been, never been You'd have had have already gone, ready gone You'd have had to go, now I know And I lie down in my bed then you stand up in my head Whenever I'm not so sure, I rearrange the furniture A room furnished by a nightmare moving on oblivion Let the mind crash down (Let it rot) Drugs, the power of transformation (Let it rot) (Let it rot) (Let it rot) Drugs, the power of transformation (Let it rot) Forty more days and forty more laments And the girls out on the street trying to make the rent Seraphim and archangels and all their pretty pageantry And I'm still in the library reading Dante's Purgatory Seven odd years going nowhere slow Everybody milling 'round and caring in the flow Calm as clams and suspicious as fish In a well fished hole (Let it rot)
