time bomb

little by little
getting more and more
creeping closer and closer
through the calm before
The storm
Cogs are clicking
The clockworks

Timebomb take your time
take a long time, take along time
Time bomb take your time
it's the wrong time, it's the wrong time

Letter by letter
written 'amor, amor'
repeated over and over
on a palm adored
The storm
Clouds that shift
when they feel hurt

timebomb take your time
take along time, take a long time
timebomb take your time
it's the wrong time, it's the wrong time

even though you thought you'd know
you know you know you don't
no you don't

Every time you looked too long for what to say
stood in the eye of a huricane
It's not too late
It's not your fault, not your fault

Now you know the feeling it won't go away
make no bones make no mistakes
No complaints
Just keep your mouth shut, keep your mouth shut

Let the hollow-bodied rattlesnakes
Cut their teeth on razor blades

Timebomb take your time, not us

the lucky one

We fell into the party like two kids
you wore me like a stone on your necklace
The lasting feeling was ignorance
That rose from the carpet when I jumped and missed

Meanwhile the lucky one
Smile more than anybody

Folded on the table was a Greek poet
pinned beneath a domino and a Dominican
We were two cans tied with a piece of string
Waiting for an answer or an offering

Meanwhile the lucky one
Smile more than everybody

From all the hands, wires and wings
Were knitted nets to trawl autumns and springs
There it goes, the sun again
When the Cat sings to the Beatles..
