Crystal Wrists

Crystal Wrists - Peter Murphy

I can't see the light I'm thrown in disgust

They speak of feats the housed forever

A howling wind changed my course

It blew me out of bounds so sore

All the walls all the walls that bound me

Descending bleak and put upon

I chew my cheeks to wake up from

The vase grows bigger

To my eyes these eyes that snigger

And despise the wall grows taller up to doom

Shoes in my room thrown in disgust

At how I fall to my worst

Of course you say you don't understand

Your words your fiction

Your crooked hands

But clearly now I tell you man

That all I say is all I can

For I am nothing but my sin

Until I learn to caste them in

While young girls fangs and crystal wrists

Wait patiently for me to twist

I look away to distant rains to water falls

And honey days and boys in black and blue rinse eyes

Gaze whistly at my slender thighs

I twist a shade to my right

And spit at beelzebub on sight

And go on loving all I see

For here I live on patiently

Clearly now I tell you man

That all I say is all I can

For I am nothing but my sin

Until I learn to caste them in

I twist a shade to my right

And spit at beelzebub on sight

And go on loving all I see

For here I live on patiently

Clearly now I tell you man

That all I say is all I can

For I am nothing but my sin

Until I learn
