In this corner the rock star In this corner his grave Let us have this fight begin Tell me who will be so brave The tambourine pounds my haunted past Veins are racing the rhythm fast All of us are in the final cast Turn out the lights if you are last I’d neglect my chance to sleep To ride the poet’s dream Close my eyes and I’m awake Nothing is, as it seems Sing me a song I’m a new man I’d like to shake your hand Bring me a woman if you can And baby you’re in the band Passion flows like a head-trip Passion flows from your lips Two red vipers from a snake pit Your passion I can’t forget Waking up hard on a Tuesday Thinking it must be all right To fall in love with a new girl Every single day of my life People channel people Liable to start suspicion Don’t stand near an open mind Flying apparition Solemn at the grave site Tears shed on my tomb Life, didn’t you love me? Drop me from your womb The couch can be a brave ride For the wife he can’t abide In this corner a rock star Or just a boy who likes to hide? I’ll sleep and I’ll dream I’ll cry and I’ll scream I’ll walk up and down The infinite seam I’ll be good I’ll behave I’ll be strong I’ll be brave I just want to stand From the bottomless grave For the stream of consciousness I would somehow hope to save Runs its course and falls into A watery sunken grave [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 01-17-2001).] |
