|
So the chemistry's set |
|
And I'm not the saddest cheerleader to forget the American word |
|
For the gang in the head |
|
That dwindles to no members when |
|
The mystery's met |
|
The sky looks threatened, heading home in the dust |
|
Singing, "Life is for getting |
|
Good enough for the frivolous" |
|
One thing I remember is |
|
This tear on your bare shoulder |
|
This little silver boulder |
|
This slowly falling star |
|
We're rolling, so what |
|
Never getting older, where the moon-shocked curtains part |
|
At the start of enough |
|
A tear dropped in a vaccination scar |
|
I'll tell you if I'm able |
|
That is, I'll tell you like it is |
|
It went down like a bad card table |
|
Like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge |
|
Like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge |
|
Swimming on a bit |
|
Stop and treading water as the sun assimilated the words |
|
For lighthouse fire |
|
Burning down to embers' end |
|
The mystery met |
|
The sky just-reddened, heading home under dusk |
|
Is life just forgetting |
|
Another word for frivilous |
|
And little silver boulders |
|
And silence from Mars |
|
For the heart of enough |
|
For a tear dropped in a vaccination scar |
|
Wherever you are |
|
Scar |
