January, 1979.
|
||
|
|
Saw a terrible crash and i couldn't help but laugh,
|
||
|
|
As my ear pressed against the past like a glass on a wall of a house in a photograph.
|
||
|
|
My forehead no longer sweet with holy kisses worthy of your fiery lips.
|
||
|
|
I was floating in a peaceful sea 'rescued' by a sinking ship.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If I could become the servant of all, no lower place to fall. (If could be your servant)
|
||
|
|
If I could become the servant of all, no lower place to fall. (If I could be your servant)
|
||
|
|
If I could become the servant of all, no lower place to fall. (If could be your servant)
|
||
|
|
If I could become the servant of all, no lower place to fall. (If I could be your servant)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You watch me like a ten car highway wreck with detached, vulgar curiosity.
|
||
|
|
This looking down at the tops of the hats of us passers-by from your 7th floor balcony.
|
||
|
|
From such a height you missed creatures too small for sight carry on covert conversations.
|
||
|
|
And the misguided insects crown me their grasshopper king with a dance of celebration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After years with a crown on my head, I've grown overfed, unconcerned and comfortably numb.
|
||
|
|
Kept busy indulging in the pleasures of the wealthy.
|
||
|
|
(Someone make me afraid of what I've become!)
|
||
|
|
At the first sign of possible sorrow, I turned my heels and ran.
|
||
|
|
(Oh, I'll never learn.)
|
||
|
|
My life is a cup of sugar I've borrowed before time began and forgot to return.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It was a matter of time--I always said I could see so now I'm going blind. (I could be your servant)
|
||
|
|
It was a matter of time--I always said I could see so now I'm going blind. (If I could be your servant)
|
||
|
|
It was a matter of time--I always said I could see so now I'm going blind. (I could be your servant)
|
||
|
|
It was a matter of miserable time-- but I heard somewhere there was a cure for useless eyes? (If I could be your servant)
