Ostia
Lyrics

(center text) |
|
There's honey in the |
|
hollows |
|
And the countours |
|
of the body |
|
A sluggish |
|
golden river |
|
A sickly |
|
golden |
|
trickle |
|
A golden, |
|
sticky trickle |
|
You can hear |
|
the bones humming |
|
And the car |
|
reverses over |
|
The body in the basin |
|
In the shallow |
|
sea-plane basin. |
|
And the car |
|
reverses over |
|
And his body |
|
rolls over |
|
Crushed |
|
from the shoulder |
|
You can hear the |
|
Bones humming |
|
Singing like |
|
a puncture |
|
Killed to keep |
|
the world turning |
|
Throw his bones over |
|
The White Cliffs |
|
of Dover |
|
Into the sea |
|
The Sea of Rome |
|
And the bloodstained |
|
coast |
|
Of Ostia |
|
Leon like a lion |
|
Sleeping in |
|
the sunshine. |
|
Lion lies down. |
|
"Out of the strong |
|
Came forth |
|
sweetness." |
|
Throw his bones over |
|
The White Cliffs |
|
of Dover |
|
And murder me |
|
In Ostia. |
|
The Sea of Rome. |
|
You can hear his |
|
bones humming. |
|
Throw his bones over |
|
The White Cliffs |
|
of Dover |
|
And into the sea |
|
The Sea of Rome |
|
Then murder me, |
|
In Ostia. |
