Freckles speculate hate Mixing rushing *** Kissing touching Numb Span the globe Scan my mind Just in time To find a dime Perfect flawless Lawless bunch Cockroach Toenails Make a crunch All that rises is smoke and dust And fragments of metal Rocking chair rust Because Melbourne is sinking Along with my mind Touch me forever I swear I'll be kind Even parking lots Run out of time Between brown eyes And pursed lips Your silver lining covered by rain Refrain Dear you look so splendid And stupid In the skin that drips And slips Into a bucket of paint And freckles faint Now fly away To play on children's cheeks On tire swings While a demented boat flings Sea lions upon one another Into the bed of tears She hears him cry Because his truck has one wheel And he can't quite feel His head on her bed Or his marshmallow finger tips Cracking whips While her hips collapse And gasp And sigh While nuns are get high Off of Jesus The gardener from around the bend And they bend And kneel On their knees To please The swarm of honey bees That sail with the wild things upon the seas But they can only count to ten And not a sound from Big Ben With a look in his eye Of boredom and a final slice Of pecan pie Because he has been drafted again No time to pretend Tell your love its the end Grab your gun And run Into the blood bank Battlefield Lay awake to forget A stomach full of whiskey and regret From the book of folklore below the bed Floating bubbles on the dead Lake ahead Resist Persist Blue hair slams upon a grave Red lips gravely graze Claire's feet by the bay What a feat To defeat Nothingness The mending of pretending But the truth is aloof And that boy is still homeless While Benjamin Franklin plays hide and seek Waiting Hesitating Because he may smoke cigarettes or he may have a wife But it's better safe then ***** And a large crowd Never seemed so proud Of a mayor of a city Just west of someplace east You can count on Chinatown to understand Anything about rice or business underground Because the pigment of your person Is somehow more important Then the character behind the content And place of origin Because the children are crying Can't you hear it Mothers punch and hit While families full of love are unfit Because there are two fathers And someone decided two is worse then none And the green on the ground is wasting away While green in the bowl can't stay All the color all sails away With the boys off to war Sent astray In the middle of the day Close your eyes open your mind You may meet your soulmate You may lose your mind Either way you're running out of time.
