How should I cry when my own tears scald me?
How can I mourn the death rolled out behind me
when I laid the carpet?
How can I withhold my own life
when I sent my friends out to spend theirs?
And oh my lover!
The libation of our son's birth-blood
paid ahead from out of your veins.
No goodbye, no misunderstood parting!
No forgiveness!
Not from your widow,
Not ever!
No way to lay the burden down
till a girl walked out of my memory to take it from me
Do this for me,
take my message to those that should hear it,
tell them
I am defying gravity
I'm flying high
defying gravity
and no one's
ever
going to
bring
me
down!
