How could you

Let it in your house

And let it in your bed?

To where the wallet lay

Another shiv instead

So how do you taste

When you kiss it on the face?

To when the blue eyes sail in from the north

I guess you do what you do

When you need to feel some empty space



Anything you need from me

The eight arms around you

Another heart to pound for you

Another set of awkward lungs

We breath up the air of men

We don't pretend

A liver a lung a kidney a thumb

Lies in some heart of some beloved

Because the best part is

You never know just what became of beloved



(The slow circling of the drain)



Sleep with the fishes!



We do what we do

To fill the empty space

So how do I do?

I'm running out of space

So how do I do

With the pockets in the space I turn the page



You'll never live to see the ocean

You'll never live to see the sky

You'll never live to see any garden

Or giant river (and goodbye)



So hide it like a compass

And let me know where I should be

And when it's cold and snowy

I like the way you froze the meat



Anything you need from me

The eight arms around you

Another heart to pound for you

Another set of awkward lungs

We breath up the air of men

We don't pretend

A liver a lung a kidney a thumb

Lies in some heart of some beloved

Because the best part is

Because the best part is



Sleep with the fishes!

(Or I'll sleep with you)



My little nest of vipers

My little miss know-it-all

Drive carefully dear
