lyrics

Is this the right medium, man, for that feeling felt from the ground? I mean, where were you last earthquake when the old earth quaked back for that gold that now lies wrapped round your new wife’s finger?

Dresden in a shoebox, I mean: oh no! Dresden in a shoebox, I mean: oh no!

But the method actors are sick! Dying for their art. Bending their bodies to fiction. Fine figureheads to our doomed ship. But really just an occupation, an occu-occupation, an occupation of our public space. Sacred plane to masturbate, and alchemize such feeling, man, that we must all SHUT UP.

But remember remembrance is flag versus flagpole. Arrested from the theatre, it goes, it goes spending to all the familiar shopping centres, for it is so easy to enter when it is as empty as filled until forgotten.

And Henry don’t drink with his boys anymore, il parle seulement en francais maintenant. And worthless object in my hand, at least this poppy I can dry then boil down and then shudder me through another day, just me through another day.

And in the rubble I found only fragments of meaning’s perfect gown. Still I wore it for this song. Though it don’t fit, it don’t belong, I didn’t know what else to say. And I didn’t know what else to do. I didn’t know what else to say in the face of such everydayed pain. In the face of such urgent prompting. And my complicity to suffering, I guess that I must SHUT UP.

But meanwhile back in the garden, there never was a garden. And the coral life hedged in the helplessness of its description was trying to imagine a catharsis more than it could imagine. There’s gotta be more to life than seeing some shit and then walking home and writing about it. There’s gotta be more to life than seeing some shit and then walking home and writing about it. But there isn’t!
