Here's where the sun was
You can feel where the sun was
Put up your palm on this eucalyptus tree
You're reflected and renewed
The attics are singing
The hangman is singing
His contract's renewed
I'm a poor boy from the siltland
Second singer in my uncle's band
When we play the night right
Silver sounds right
From the devil's nuclear moon
Swirling and swirling
The world's wet swirling
In the fabric of the loom
ย
And the beat is a temptress
She shall tempt us to tempt us
Into relations trapped in a tempest
Of the unanswered gloom
Green mists are rising
My violin is crying that my Uncle's gone too
And the band is adrift, their wine I shall grift, and offer offerings
Up to the moon
Yet there's some left for the Empress
I saw a postcard of her green dress
Apples and gardens and lanterns for the bards
That float on towers that bob on pontoons
Singing sweet songs in Spanish I long for a world in its noon
And the sun has done set and the courtyard I'd wet
And I have to be
Swimming on soon
ย
(I hear the roar of)
The engines
ย
