lyrics

Having heaved myself
From somewhere on high
Not nearly high enough
On more than enough rope...

I am smoking
Resigned to smoking
Resigned to aerial
Tin pan alley music of spoons
Tootle of horns
I am poised
I am kneeling down
Down
Down
Down

(The poet)

Mark this: here is a creature
Only found in the woods at night
Curled up round crawling roots
That have found their way
Above ground
Twisting ruined fingers
Round a ruined stone
Here is a creature
Would break our hearts like twigs

(Sans love
Sans potions)

Wind me up
And I totter
Talking about myself
Crying for mercy
The best of everything
Watched by the wind
Wheeling
One eyed
One eyed
One eyed

(I am whirled away
Like a sinister empty hat and coat)
