. ~ a minute in black and white ~ . if it's the spice of life I follow tonight, I carry a soldier's knife. I'm working on Circus Street, for something as sweet as strychnine; (an evening's trick or treat). I believe she told me everything but some of them can SWITCH to love at a moment's notice, I've noticed. I'm looking for love to light her cigarette (bright and burning) for A MINUTE IN BLACK & WHITE A MINUTE IN BLACK & WHITE to be anybody another day under glass! I shouldn't have asked for silence - the feeling may never pass; and the gathering appetite I carry tonight is for A MINUTE IN BLACK & WHITE * catch the start of it, the heart of it all * I believe she told me everything, but some of them may STITCH to love at a moment's notice, I've noticed

A TELL-TALE HEART baby's arrived in Limbo, as I planned; holding a reservation, in her hand. she's got the underside of the night in her sights; American banners, baby ... below ... but will she ever know? that everything she says everywhere she goes everybody knows. she don't mind if it's whole or part THE TELL-TALE HEART she sold. was it the wind who bought her penny pearls (strung like the lights of Broadway on the the girl)? she's got the bitter end of the sweet in her teeth ... American banners, baby ... below ... but will she ever know? * (I'm going to stack the odds on womankind - to double the double-knotted dotted line ..........................)

A YEAR IN THE SHADE here are the arrowheads where they fell, a hundred years ago, to the day; marking a dead line; marking a crime. (if you ever come this way for A NEW YEAR IN THE SHADE.) you shake like a rattle here in the dark. the brush of trembling skin in the dark paints a scene upon the wall that needs no correction. if you ever come this way for A NEW YEAR IN THE SHADE, for a minute yesterday, for an hour dressed in time gone time gone time gone by. no moon tonight to see where you go no candlelight to make where you fell, taking the high wire. through all our solemn endings, you remain my solemn friend till the rains have gone again till the rains have gone ...

I WRITE THE NEWS I WRITE THE NEWS, I WRITE THE NEWS, as sad as it may seem, with one eye glass and one eye glycerine. as the days go by ... stalling every minute of my time ... my time ... to sit beside the breathing wine, as the days go marching by. can I depend on them? can I depend on all ... of them all of them all ... of them all ...? I take the blues I take the blues I shadow them, for you, and raise a song I never thought I knew. as the days go by ... stalling every minute of my time ... my time ... to see the ap.par.it.ion die, as the days go marching by. * stalling every minute of my time, I trusted so completely in a word - never seen ... never heard ... the days go marching by ...

. ~ drinkdrinkdrink ~ . summer times spent beating metal in dim bars, and here we are ... in the cracking shell of a grey car sometimes I can't help remembering. sometimes I can't help remembering these embers know a cool thing which left long ago. and through the night it rages; DRINKDRINKDRINKDRINKDRINKDRINK drink it away. I'm sometimes found sifting through the rubble of your town; a mangy clown who fills the shelves and cupboards with your gowns. sometimes I can't help dismembering; my head wrapped your skin which wrapped everything. hotel close! she takes her suitcase and goes ... and through the night it rages; DRINKDRINKDRINKDRINKDRINKDRINK drink it away.

SEA SALT SAND SEA SIDE SONG sienna and tan ... shores where the sunshine and sand were planned. all the sea's a mirror - but there's nothing there ... nothing at all ... and it begins to fall. SEA SALT SAND SEA SIDE SONG bring everyone brine everyone along. and how they shone, like frost, from swelter to blonde (so long) I remember slowly ... remember it and never return. when will I ever learn? * I see rubies. I see emeralds. I see... all of that. I see topaz ... and sapphires ... o, take me to the breakers, love; it's seven in the morning. *

ALL THAT FALL I was waiting for her to sketch the action of love as only she could. I was prepared to clear the stage again but then she comes ... with her distant answer to love her doors and windows seem so IMPROBABLY tall; and this time ... I fall. only a token heart only a token heart tonight. they were waiting in line; who would rather they find the time ... of their lives? she was prepared to be the one I could have loved in another way ... but at another time. her doors and windows seen so IMPOSSIBLY tall; and this time ... I fall. *

THIS TIME TOMORROW I talked about you I talked about the reasons for the sorrows that you find. I lied about you. (but) it's alright this road can hold us both forever. it's alright, and you may find you feel the summer breeze. somewhere ... the sounds of her crying; THIS TIME TOMORROW she may call. somewhere ... the sounds of her crying; she's open wide and sideways - inside ... I caught your meaning. I saw the summer melting ... from the secrets that you wore. I knew the meaning. (but) it's alright. this room may hold us for an hour. It's alright - and you may find you feel the summer breeze *

bright penny 07:20
BRIGHT PENNY her flame, let me explain, is a gentle rain that falls a week or maybe longer. now. she'll stand at your command; take her hand and Penny burns a little brighter. now. through veins the fountain drains; in city squares the pennies stare a little brighter. now. so many ways on sad days. so many ways to play ... a BRIGHT PENNY. her flame is not the same; a withered wrist waits for its kiss a little longer. now. I'll lead you to the scene where Penny tests the blackest dress you ever .... brighter now, you beggar! brighter now. so many ways on sad days. so many ways to play ... a BRIGHT PENNY. I'll make my wound - you have one or two, I see, so this is nothing new. and tango singers are a virgin's prayer and they'll make their moves, but not one, not a single saviour, will lift those pennies from your eyes. (but) maybe I might. tonight, Penny. your eyes ... are bright pennies *
