[00:12.34] Baby's ball is all blood red of flayed pigs
[00:17.27] And silk soft little things
[00:20.33] Fill a house hung from strings
[00:23.77] And I fly out on my silver, scissoring wings
[00:30.53] With the other sardines
[00:33.77] Over cities of things mommies need
[00:37.27] Light as gas, and half-assedly free,
[00:44.27] Like I was in nineteen ninety three.
[00:52.21]
[00:54.96] Over the ruins like we're staggering apes.
[00:57.12]
[00:59.80] What we get's what we take
[01:04.24] In a split open place where a man can get kinged
[01:09.60] In a palace of panic and flames
[01:14.07] Where nobody gets blamed by the tired,
[01:17.20] And broke down, and beat.
[01:23.60] In sunken gardens where there was a street.
[01:34.42]
[01:35.87] West over water I rambled and paced,
[01:40.94] And the blood river raced like the sweat down my face.
[01:47.63] And the stadium roared, and the warriors embraced.
[01:54.64] And the golden shore groaned beneath the weight of my tastes.
[02:01.60] And I blazed in the last orange hours of the day,
[02:11.47] Until the dust hazed and hid us away.
[02:19.33] Little baby, be brave.
[02:22.09] I see your dad riding over the rise,
[02:28.21]
[02:32.59] Crashing his whole cavalcade through the crowd.
[02:37.66] Watch them run on all sides.
[02:38.02]
[03:09.43] The neon white branches,
[03:11.19] And the carrion fly
[03:12.02] On a congressman's eye
[03:15.15] I have wrapped up for you in some old autumn leaves,
[03:21.90] And left under a rock out on Rockaway Beach, beneath the trees.
[03:31.62]
[03:32.80] I have laughed my best hiss to the whistling breeze.
[03:37.62] There's a hole in my throat.
[03:42.63] You can note my last wheeze if you need.
[03:49.49] Then take hold of the rope
[03:52.55] And down we scream.
