Rings Of Saturn
(专辑: Skeleton Tree - 2016)
Upside down and inside out and on all eights You're like a
funnel-web Like a
black fly on the
ceiling Skinny, white haunches high in the
sky And a
black oily gash crawling backwards across the
carpet to smash all over everything Wet, black fur against the
sun going down Over the
shops and the
cars and the
crowds in the
town And this is the
moment, this is exactly where she is born to be Now this is what she does and this is what she is And this is the
moment, this is exactly where she is born to be This is what she does and this is what she is Her eyes that look at me through a
rainy hair Two round holes where the
air buckles and rushes in Her body, moon blue, was a
jellyfish And I'm breathing deep and I'm there and I'm also not there And spurting ink over the
sheets but she remains, completely unexplained Or maybe I'm just too tongue-tied to drink it up and swallow back the
pain I
thought slavery had been abolished How come it's gone and reared its ugly head again? And this is the
moment, this is exactly what she is born to be And this is what she does and this is what she is And this is the
moment, this is exactly what she is born to be This is what she is and this is what she does And this is the
moment, this is exactly what she is born to be And this is what she does and this is what she is And this is the
moment, this is exactly what she is born to be Then this is what she does and this is what she is And now she's jumping up with her leaping brain Stepping over heaps of sleeping children Disappearing and further up and spinning out again Up and further up she goes, up and out of the
bed Up and out of the
bed and down the
hall where she stops for moment and turns and says "Are you still here?" And then reaches high and dangles herself like a
child's dream from the
rings of Saturn
