Only a crack in the sky It was only a trick of the eye it was a darkened street where I was struck by lightning or just the holy ghost well with no will or forsight I was compelled forth to the mouth of the river where I dived right in got swept off with the current Well I was swallowed up alive I was a messenger it was bestowed upon me I was a vehicle for some demon's scheme right there at the bottom there submerged in the deep within the belly of a whale I will drown while it sleeps Well I was swallowed up alive

Anticipation No I can"t wait Obedience Oh that cruel snake I'm so mangy in the start I'll be the best in show I taste the breeze no I can't wait I wanna get there eventually Well all good things go by right before my eyes right before my all good things go I smell the ground the pathways of down below cuz I"m curious where they go the stump magician wags an eye I see prizes right before my eyes I wanna lick them unconsciously All good things go by right before my eyes right before my all good things go

I'll strip you til you're paper thin I'll climb you like a wall when I find you you won't run away but I'll chase you down the hall and you'll put you're arms around me and then you'll flicker on and tell me that your body is not your own but hey, no one's asking yes, yes my darklings it's true but only because you're enchanted There were signals all around me we were flying much too fast if the pilot missed a single step I'd fly right through the glass skimming water missing mountains breaking past the speed of sound when the ceiling finally falls our bodies shatter one and all but hey, no one's counting yes, yes my darklings it's true but only because you're enchanted let me in let me out let me circle round the house let you climb me like a wall and we all fall down

I found myself without a home so I wandered off into the brush leaving a trail of crumbs behind which the animals consumed and I was lost without my broom Came across a maiden sweeping off a stoop I stole a glance so galantly but then it left me in a trance woke up in the oven of romance Dear lila, what are you waiting for I'm tied up let's go to the moon Vestiges of spiders on the sheets increments of saccharine injected in my sleep In all her captivating ways she foils the most prurient gaze I was confused I was aloof don't speak your mind while falling off the roof Dear lila, what are you waiting for I'm tied up let's go to the moon

Webs in the sky in an eagle's eye and asking the ground how to elevate the lines Face down at the edge of a growling storm where the garden was and now all the wasteland swarms They drive right over us all by the light of the night they feed on traces that were left by the side of the road they consume all excess or they find it an follow it home We watch the street in an instants eye We turn the wheels of alchemy alright Make no distinction it's all refuseable dispose dispose All the rats and anemones the wasteland claims as it's own Or the streetcar passengers that fell off the side of the rails the streetsweepers mercifully collect and insert in the stove The wheels glide serpentine engines leonine roar they comb the city, or what's left by the light of the night
