lyrics

I am learning to hate anyone who is calling me sir
While I’m smiling with those who received gifts the three wise men bore
Let the rest sleep behind iron windows, eyes shut
Chasing sawdust with wine drained of all trace of blood
Let them dive into regions where thick void resides
While they point stiff umbrellas at rain and against dragonflies

If I were someone else, I would never allow me to stay
One sweet lady for word games, another to study the play
But the words will fall short once the midnight sheds plenty of light
Surely you understood what I’d never recite
With yourself as a shield against dawn overdue,
You replied: Get this straight, sweetheart – never, oh never with you!

Goddess, you are insane, but my sanity, too, comes undone
I could maybe care less, but just us under lockdown’s more fun
And when you hoist the lavender flag way up high
I shall open a brothel beneath these here skies
And the sirens will holler a Chopin’s fanfare
For the kids the adulterous, agelessly

crystal-clear sound.
