There's no light in my eyes

Though there are lights in the sky

There's no love for me on this train

There's no c*****e in this c*****e

There's no diving no bombing and no heavy petting

No moon for the crooning

No sun for the setting

No road to the past

No ever forgetting your face

No canvassers hawkers salesmen or dogs

No wind in the willows

No phone in the box

No hair on the pillow

Cascading and framing your face

But there is a picture

Lost in the ether

Chewed to corruption

By the binary oceans

Of you and I kissing fizzing and hoping

Before the landslide

There is a picture

There is a picture

Grasping dignity's final thread

I hauled my body from your bed

Hollow echo down the hall

Slowly closing hotel door

You're a pitiless millstone

Impossible check

You're a lure to the shore

And the rocks and a wreck

You're a slender and elegant foot on the neck

And I love you

You're a figment a rumour

A kiss on the wind

You're smoke in a dance

And a kick in the shins

And we had the answers

But you'll pull the wings off of

Anything

But there is a picture

Lost in the ether

Chewed to corruption

By the binary oceans

Of you and I kissing fizzing and hoping

Before the landslide

There is a picture

We're going electric

There is a picture

Lost in the ether

Chewed to corruption

By the binary oceans

Of you and I kissing fizzing and hoping

Before the landslide

There is a picture

There is a picture
