slip and change into the   fever dream right through us   a near life high, nice try      when the dirt is your warmest blanket   drawing up maps under the moon   will you follow them to unconscious attempts   as a soothsayer soothes your black and white blues   when the dirt is your warmest blanket   dealing hands beneath the bridge   gambling with certainty      the virulent pages   they read you like a book   abandon the asphalt   under which you never stood   tongues that yell treason   they roll off the roof   withdrawn from the words they once were      in the overcast of an answer   wrapping questions around the noose   will you stutter it as i clean out your will   throw your shell out to sea   making black of the blue   in the overcast of an answer   ill with rehab from the truth   acrobatic with the fuse      the virulent pages   they read you like a book   abandon the asphalt   under which you never stood   tongues that yell treason   they roll off the roof   withdrawn from the words they once were      ride along the wide while   fires paint white noise wild   a passerby   goodbye   a near life high, nice try      when the dirt is your warmest blanket   drawing up maps under the moon   will you follow them to unconscious attempts   as a soothsayer soothes your black and white blues   when the dirt is your warmest blanket   dealing hands beneath the bridge   gambling with certainty      the virulent pages   they read you like a book   abandon the asphalt   under which you never stood   tongues that yell treason   they roll off the roof   withdrawn from the words they once were      through the looking glass of my innocence   the yin and the yang unwind   kissing the trees on the terrace that tempts them   with porcelain gas masks and wine   (the time keep, he's counting off time)   holding on with the fingers he broke   when he tried to reach for the sky   incense for two pence and a piece of their mind   that's waiting for its peace of mind   (the time keep, he rots in the sky)      never again will i   toy with the syllables   that weren't meant to be touched      stripped and now how do you   move these wonders through to   wander miles you've known   so long   a passerby   long gone   a near life high   nice try
