On the night that my love broke through   On the night that my love broke through   Revelations that came unglued   On the night that my love broke through      Cell doors were opened   Guards step out the way   Prisoners got one acre of land   and one year's pay   Flowers longed since dead   Stiffened at the neck   Colors came back in green and yellow and in red      Unemployed cowboy staggered on Fairfax   Trucks pulled up and fifteen men hollered and hopped in back      A copy of Bukowski   at the bottom of the stack   Got pickup by some dropout   who read it front to back   Shoving the death hand of his past!      Ants were crawling out of   grimy bathtub drains   Janitor was laughing he had finally gone insane   City buses swerving   arriving right on time   Vending machines were selling white wine by the dime      Streetlights got a burst of   electricity   Sparks danced across windshields   Like a grand finale      Metal detector's beeping   Sound was deafening   Everywhere bearded men dug up wedding rings   We all stopped to listen to him sing!      On the night when my love broke through   On the night when my love broke through   Revelations that came unglued   On the night when my love broke through   On the night    On the night    On the night    On the night
