these city-scaped dreams   these maddening machines   they're all that's between you and me   my momma's boy dress   your virgin caress   alright, i'll confess   i'm terrified   and the dawn through the dusk is silent   it reminds me of us--still trying   before we fall asleep      alone on the roof   avoiding the truth   imagining you shuddering   it's dizzy down here   we've both had our fill   i'm jack and you're jill   and we're tumbling   and the way that you hold my body is frightening   i'm seven years old watching the lightning   before i fall asleep      i hope i don't die today   and if i've been absurd   it's only this season   let's leave of the words   abandoning reason   before we fall asleep      i hope i don't die today
