lyrics

Out in the pale grass
Your fingers made of brass
A bed to hide the little flings
That play upon the mind

The pulse in my neck finds
A clock that just rewinds
It plays upon the shadow lines
A long forgotten vine
Descended from your mind
I was punted for a time

See, the water’s draing out
And the lips have lost their grout
The make-up smelled like paraffin
The fish are all thrown back

The feathers untie your back
The rich all live up on the racks
Your heart breaks in your throat stack
You push me through the door and clap
I’m looking at the glow attack
The neighbour’s tv cops the flack
