Sin, it Fits Like a Glove

by michael-jeffrey-wille

Oh follow me now where the barrels were hid for these are mistakes, and the peasants are dead Listen to gunshots echo so slow these are the dead children of the Future of Old And if, you lay, me down stand up beside the lonesome playground. Speak to the street vendor, ask for your change. Pray for the autumn wind to wash for the rain Shall I make do while they're laughing at you? Throw it away and go kiss the Sun for blinding fame. Will you feel the eyeballs that make you so high? Throw it back at them, and you can kiss it goodbye. Will you forbid what the graverobber digs or will you awaken the farmhand's pigs? Neptune's white mistress holds out shattered stone. She speaks so softly. This is her new home. And for forever more shut your wives out, avoid petty whores. Wash down your happiness with a cognac of love. Feel sin around you, it fits like a glove
