Oh, Precious
(专辑: Stars Too Small To Use - 1999)
I
live in a
building where nobody knows me. I
go to bed early, I
sleep in my clothes. At night I
hear screaming down in the
street. I
dream that I'm slipping, I
reach for my feet. Precious, we are falling down, catch us. Oh no down we go again. I
fill in the
holes in my vision with Dexedrine. The
landscape spins sideways, the
movies and magazines whisper as they hide on soft silky surfaces that surely my neighbors and friends have their purposes here. The
building is maddening, thirty floors high they are building a
needle that pierces the
sky like a
cold vaccination, like a
smile through a
Polaroid. Surely my neighbors and friends want to be destroyed. Precious, we are falling down, catch us. Oh no down we go again. Oh no down we go again. Oh no down we go again. Lend me a
leaf from the
rill. Lifting the
dreams from you, they sift through the
meshes of the
ancient afternoon. Leave me alone for awhile, leave me alone with your smile, and listen to the
breaking; all the
buildings we are making will be gone. Precious, we are falling down, falling down, catch us.
