|
I can see the curtain |
|
The ending |
|
Knew it was on its way |
|
I just didn't want it to be today |
|
Watch the cityscape |
|
Drift from day to dusk to dark |
|
Blurrily indistinct the sooty cape |
|
Slowly slips across its jagged shape |
|
Lights signaling |
|
Some winking on |
|
Then blinking off |
|
Lights signaling |
|
Some winking on |
|
Red and red and white |
|
I can see |
|
Piss over battersea |
|
Floating in flight |
|
On quiet nights I can hear the stars |
|
And cosmonauts talk |
|
A ragged 30-watt moon |
|
Hangs over my hotel room |
|
I saw you nodding out in |
|
The mouth of the night |
|
Face full of white light grace |
|
And I push your body out into space |
|
Let it go |
|
Watch it drift away |
|
Going on to beggar and bitter things |
|
Just a fly with little plucked off wings |
|
Going on to beggar and bitter things |
|
Never fly |
|
Never earn your wings |
|
And when the stars are all burned out |
|
Don't try and tell me what it's all about |
