Windowsills are dangerous but birds still climb up walls
ladies tie elastic bands and treat their sins in stalls
tie a rope but not to tight around the midnight moon
sip a swig and swallow that choke denying we're dying soon
lace a cane around your lips and pocket all your highs
cut those nails follow that tongue stare at your red eyes
whisper only your favorite words, dance with quite a few
entwine your arms around the truth, bathe those lies in blue
dress yourself in eyes of green, plant within your vein
the colors of your simple ones the color of Champaign
so treat yourself to danger and climb up every wall
catch your heart before you drop, leave your sins to fall



we slip into corners and eat leather chairs
your under the bed I'm over the stairs
I'm black and I'm blue your only ice cold
you hide your secrets in the laundry you fold
we undo ribbons we tie up out tongues
cotton and cameras and lined paper hands
we wash our hair clean, we stand up in stands
a can and a half, a bottle or three
we swim in cement, we sleep in the sea
you powder my stars, I clean your skin
only our thoughts tickle with sin


time goes by
along they fly
everyday, each year
they pass so near
the time goes by
and sees each cry
each smile each grin
that has bin
each laugh each thought
that has been taught
the days go on
time cant be won
it flows away
each single day
their names are known
their truth their own
a thousand years
have seen the tears
and seen the joy
both frank and coy
and more to come
in all it's sum
all is one
all things are done
