lyrics

Fallin' love with men
Is an act of forgiveness
Velvet kneelers and
A dozen souls rubbed clean.
Confessional alley
Walk like everyone you see
W/ one foot ahead and one
Behind.

Misery walks from dawn to
Dawnhead,
Fixed w/ dreamlessness and
Touched by steel.
In the pink light behind shattered glass
Everyone looks and
Everyone sees
Handprints disappearing into

Dust.
And there will be
Dust.

Now I am a spider
Holding up two pieces of
Web, broken enough to
Fly.
Breathing engine warmth
You are the brightest car in
A dark parking lot.
Once new this image of
Survival in love and all his
Victims carrying
Visions stretched grey with de-
Light some face down closer
Than the others to the
Source.

Then I lose my name and I am
Down again.
Though I know my spirit will be
Freed.
Lovin' like an engine wears the
Tire thin.
Lovin' like someone who can't
Believe.

Feel like a foreign anything
Feel like a foreign anything
Feel like a fraud.

Mm-mm I want to linger
Mm-mm a little longer
Mm-mm a little longer here with
You.

(I'm thinking about buying a car. A fast, steel, motorcar. I want it to have my name on the tires so that it cannot be seen when I drive it.)
