[00:09:00]
[00:10.46]I believe that you heard your master sing
[00:15.46]when I was sick in bed.
[00:18.86]I suppose that he told you everything
[00:23.06]that I keep locked away in my head.
[00:27.13]Your master took you travelling,
[00:31.31]well at least that's what you said.
[00:35.38]And now do you come back to bring
[00:39.28]your prisoner wine and bread?
[00:45.08]
[00:49.84]You met him at some temple, where
[00:53.41]they take your clothes at the door.
[00:57.44]He was just a numberless man in a chair
[01:01.55]who'd just come back from the war.
[01:04.50]And you wrap up his tired face in your hair
[01:09.34]and he hands you the apple core.
[01:13.18]Then he touches your lips now so suddenly bare
[01:17.12]of all the kisses we put on some time before.
[01:23.70]
[01:27.33]And he gave you a German Shepherd to walk
[01:31.29]with a collar of leather and nails,
[01:35.13]and he never once made you explain or talk
[01:39.10]about all of the little details,
[01:43.03]such as who had a word and who had a rock,
[01:47.04]and who had you through the mails.
[01:50.82]Now your love is a secret all over the block,
[01:54.69]and it never stops not even when your master fails.
[01:59.47]
[02:04.85]And he took you up in his aeroplane,
[02:08.62]which he flew without any hands,
[02:12.52]and you cruised above the ribbons of rain
[02:16.51]that drove the crowd from the stands.
[02:20.32]Then he killed the lights in a lonely Lane
[02:23.51]and, an ape with angel glands,
[02:28.32]erased the final wisps of pain
[02:32.16]with the music of rubber bands.
[02:38.79]
[02:42.61]And now I hear your master sing,
[02:46.29]you kneel for him to come.
[02:50.33]His body is a golden string
[02:54.18]that your body is hanging from.
[02:58.19]His body is a golden string,
[03:02.44]my body has grown numb.
[03:06.00]Oh now you hear your master sing,
[03:09.75]your shirt is all undone.
[03:14.93]
[03:20.00]And will you kneel beside this bed
[03:23.91]that we polished so long ago,
[03:27.81]before your master chose instead
[03:31.65]to make my bed of snow?
[03:35.72]Your eyes are wild and your knuckles are red
[03:39.48]and you're speaking far too low.
[03:43.22]No I can't make out what your master said
[03:47.45]before he made you go.
[03:52.24]
[03:57.55]Then I think you're playing far too rough
[04:01.32]for a lady who's been to the moon;
[04:05.40]I've lain by this window long enough
[04:09.18]to get used to an empty room.
[04:13.14]And your love is some dust in an old man's cough
[04:17.18]who is tapping his foot to a tune,
[04:21.10]and your thighs are a ruin, you want too much,
[04:25.23]let's say you came back some time too soon.
[04:30.43]
[04:35.59]I loved your master perfectly
[04:39.56]I taught him all that he knew.
[04:43.57]He was starving in some deep mystery
[04:47.64]like a man who is sure what is true.
[04:51.43]And I sent you to him with my guarantee
[04:55.55]I could teach him something new,
[04:59.55]and I taught him how you would long for me
[05:03.47]no matter what he said no matter what you'd do.
[05:08.08]
[05:13.60]I believe that you heard your master sing
[05:17.89]while I was sick in bed,
[05:21.52]I'm sure that he told you everything
[05:25.23]I must keep locked away in my head.
[05:29.60]Your master took you travelling,
[05:33.56]well at least that's what you said,
[05:37.55]And now do you come back to bring
[05:41.42]your prisoner wine and bread?
