cross the street from your storefront cemetary 

hear me hailing from inside and realize 


i am the conscience clear 

in pain or ecstacy 

and we were all weaned my dear 

upon the same fatigue 


staring at the sun

oh my own voice 

cannot save me now 

standing in the sea

it's just 

one more breath 

and then 

down i go 


your mouth is open wide 

the lover is inside 

and all the tumults done 

collided with the sign 

you're staring at the sun 

you're standing in the sea 

your body's over me 


note the trees because 

the dirt is temporary 

more to mine than fact face 

name and monetary 


be what you will 

and then thrown down your life 

oh it's a damned fine game 

and we can play all night 


beat the skins and let the 

loose lips kiss you clean 

quietly pour out like light 

like light, like answering the sun 


you're staring at the sun 

you're standing in the sea 

your mouth is open wide 

you're trying hard to breathe 

the water's at your neck 

there's lightning in your teeth 

your body's over me
