Orion's not moving. Stars don't move. They may die, they may dim, they may traverse galaxies Change position in the night sky with the seasons Give me one. good. reason. To cover up my compass home, The one good thing, the one beautiful thing, On this scarred and wretched body?
"We'll put Orion somewhere else, start over"
You're not my mother, ripping out a new piercing Locking the door on a daughter and her father Drinking and dating and thinking "start over" My skin is just my skin, the moles and ink And decisions are mine to live in How dare you claim yourself an artist, yet break down your clientele, your canvas
So Orion's not the problem, sir It's a debauched attitude toward station When I follow the stars tonight, I will tell them Needles have no consideration
