Once I had a little game.
I liked to crawl back into my brain
I think you know the game I mean
I mean the game called 'go insane'
Now you should try this little game
Just close your eyes,
forget your name
Forget the world, forget the people
And we'll erect a different steeple.
This little game is fun to do.
Just close your eyes, no way to lose.
And I'm right there, I'm going too.
Release control, we're breaking through.
Way back deep into the brain
Back where there's never any pain.
And the rain falls gently on the town.
Things have turned out in such a weird way.
It's been a long time since the smoke has gone down, since the bottles have emptied.
It's
been a long year since the tears have fallen from the face of the statue. Lady Liberty has
waved her last goodbyes a yearful of ache ago, and ships have wandered
on reeves and
sunk in the dark. Un naufrage avec survivants. Lunatics laughing
madlyto the walls of the big white maze that we call mind. Face down,
praise to the concrete ;
beat my head against the ground. Water, blood and piss in the gutter. Bars à putes et mégots
tachés de rouge vulgaire. The dull blonde with the pretty hips is calling for me ;
I won't come,
I don't belong here no more. The drunken legs of mine are not going to climb the wooden stairs
anymore.
Sweet strychnine came through my pores, my veins explode. He always cums
when I stick the needle in his neck.
(We used to dance to remember, nowadays we dance to forget.)The doors of perception will never get cleansed : we gonna dance in sands till the water
rises higher and higher and for we find ourselves floating in the sky. Now I
drink and
dance and
puke on Lady Liberty's tomb.
The homeward bound is hard to find and filled with
shit and thorns, but nevermind. The forest clearing is lovely, peyote and weed everywhere.
Golden curls instead of the sun and blue eyes to get drunk from. But the
time has come to burn every cliché that goes and fucks my pride away.
Give it to the pigeons.
The whitest of all doves has long-since got nailed to the cross. Pierce every part of your body,
and tattoo the rest.
And then commit suicide. A hole in the head will not be able to
tell what could have been.
Keep it like a secret. There was a night when you gave me all I
wanted to hold in my arms. At this moment I felt just like dancing in a ring of fire. We
threw off the challenge with a common shrug.
I can still recall the time I cried when my magic
swirling ship crashed against that motherfucking dumbass wave. I sank and drowned
far from your reach. Summer's now at our feet, forget past bitterness and watch flowers bloom.
Fuck every piece left of sanity and mental health for the blackout hides you when he leaves
and breaks you. One last time.
