Cascade

(album: A Kiss In The Dreamhouse - 1982)

Oh the Air was shining
Shining like a wedding ring
Barbed like sex
I felt 10,000 volts
My chest was full of eels
Pushing through my usual skin
I opened up new wounds
Pouting
Shouting

Oh, Love
Like liquid falling
Falling
In cascades
Oh, lovelorn victims
Laughing in cascades

The Sun was rich
Rich with a song of sin
My breath melted my words
Into strange alphabets
Tormenting my tongue
Pouting
Shouting

Oh, Love
Like liquid falling
Falling
In cascades
Oh, lovelorn victims
Laughing in cascades

The heartbeats were echoing
Echoing
The revolver
Emptying
Into my mouth
I pulled a face
From my pocket
And smiled
A Leper's grin
I felt somebody close
Pouting
Shouting

Oh, Love
Like liquid falling
Falling
In cascades
Oh, lovelorn victims
Laughing
In cascades
