Behaviour & Fornication
Thinking on your bad behaviours
(Singing songs, singing songs)
Playing on your fornications
(thinking long, thinking long)
And I will lie to you
And I won’t cry with you
Eating with your friendly gestures
(holding hands, holding hands
Nothing holding them together
(goodbye friends, goodbye friend)
And I will lie to you
And I won’t cry to you
Woman your eyes are purple
(Starlight blaze, starlight blaze)
Lady your hands are wrinkled
(“no-where days”, “no-where days”)
And I will lie to you
And I won’t cry with you
Watch them as they go in circles
(crack of dawn, crack of dawn)
Reading their instruction manuals
(Men or fawns, men of fawns)
And I will lie to you,
And I won’t cry with you.
Perfect people chained and linked,
(Broken heart, broken heart)
happy words clearly inked
(smiling men, smiling men)
And I will lie to you
And I won’t cry with you
Rainbow dribble speaking stutter
(no more rain, no more rain)
Sun-shining, papillon's gutter
wing beat gone, wing beat gone
And I will lie to you,
And I won’t cry with you.
Playing on your fornications
(thinking long, thinking long)
Thinking on your bad behaviours.
(Singing songs, singing songs)
[I won’t cry with you]
There are meant to be indentations on every line that is in parentheses. For some reason, the Hello Poetry writing format will not allow for them.
