Waking in a flower bed
fighting over who’s got next in death.
I think I’m gonna wait
for the world to end.
I asked a man - I hope he’s right -
if I’m letters in a novel what should I write?
“If you want a story”
he said, “kill your friends.”
So take this,
take this little piece of cardboard
take it, turn it to a real sword
and cut a hole in time
so I can crawl on back
out of mine.
So come inside my bas-tee-un
here we stay up all night just for fun
you sit cross-legged on the floor
and you paint my face.
I’ll go if I wanna go
but you alleviate my vertigo
clinging to a ball that’s flying through outer space.
So take this,
take this little piece of cardboard
take it, turn it to a real sword
and cut a hole in time
so I can crawl on back
out of mine.
Waking in a flower bed
fighting over who’s got next in death.
I think I’m gonna wait
for the world to end.
