Definite Darkness

歌詞

Go to the world of guilt and sorrow for the races Tonight where the boats go cutting Through undulating mirror images of incandescent spires The roads there are parabolas With nameless water towers near the exits You could turn it all on end still wouldn't be taller Than the biotic arch at the crown of creation Well there are people who put dirty hypodermic needles Between the seat cushions in the movie theater We all have the same dream the night that we contract it So maybe I've been sleeping less at your place Since a man's last panicked screams startled us awake We're paralyzed 'til the cop cars arrive Casting slow-spinning mobiles on your ceiling Three colors we watch the frozen moon In daylight I stare past your eyes' Lenses windows framing solar wind rustling ivy On the painted pink buildings I've been hearing the soft step of the gray-eyed governess But I know you know the physical form of moaning alarms Coming from the air force base A skinless and sinewy leviathan All terrible contraction and release Debasement ringed in banner plane exhaust And scattering V's of geese Someday my body's gonna fail me Then prostrate maybe in my back yard With my family's screams muted by the pounding rush The high shrinking sun will be eclipsed By heaving rainbows of flesh A chrysalis of tissues from thinning air So my eyes will be wide open 'cause there's no light Just one definite darkness The taste is unmistakable like a fever breaking
