Well, Benjamin | |
You crashed your plane again | |
A beautiful tailspin | |
It was going to happen soon enough | |
The only question was when | |
'Cause I could smell the flames | |
Just sleeping on your skin | |
And I love you for the things you do | |
And I don't care who you do them to | |
You can wrap your stupid suffering around me | |
Because I thought it out, in the time I've got | |
And I don't care if I drown or not | |
I just want to crash into that same cold sea | |
On an airport "USA Today," in a dark black ballpoint pen | |
You write, "These people are like skeletons | |
Wrapped up in perfumed skin" | |
And it's such a stupid sentiment | |
But write it once again | |
Let your anger fill the margin | |
And I'll kiss your shaking hand. | |
'Cause I love you for the things you see | |
And I don't mind if you see me | |
With my wrinkled hands and glazed eyes | |
As obscene | |
You're right in ways that you don't know | |
And you're untouched by the undertow | |
All that speed and anger burns your body clean | |
And I love you for the things you feel | |
So thoroughly that they turn real | |
As the sea comes rushing toward us | |
Dark and cold | |
And your rowmate, this nonentity | |
As the screams and salt sea smother me | |
Will reach out a wrinkled hand for you to hold | |
But now the landing gear is starting to unfold | |
The captain points the runway out below | |
Where the Kent account is waiting to be sold | |
And where you're going, down there | |
I don't know |
