lyrics

I leapt inward this very day
the calm rose barren up my back
my ass freed airy cheers and songs as I made my way between the bones

I believed respecting my pal Matej is to keep him rolling off his grave
striving to titilate a lightness like a sleeping child
whirling round his body, mind and I whispered in his inner ear
"there's no way you'll go away"
and the son sang out above me and coaxed me that he'll stay

the days will blaze with silver and the nights will flare with gold
if your life is truly your life, the gods won't leave you boy

and I wound up at a little lump; a little lump upon a little gut
when I cam inside the membrane spat
into the lump with on the blood-red bowels
where model matrons with ocd cleaned the ceilings and the walls
I arose drunk, naked, and so stuffed that I could hardly speak
90 year old trannys laughing and rubbing my physique
and it's into reproach and then into remorse
and a sudden fucking calm
before the walls blew up around me by a warm arterial bomb

the days will blaze with silver and the nights will flare with gold
if your life is truly your life, the gods won't leave you boy
for veins are deep and veins are firm
and flow straight to the heart but the gods won't leave you Matej
so there ain't no need to cry
and I surf down arteries

the liver looked tenacious
an object of delight
created adolescence out of the unremitting night
but the god of him determines on
though he has yielded and is whole
and the ghetto horns were howling
and a thousand drummers beat
and our diamond tears tore open boulevards and streets
and the tears went through to soil
and from the soil flowers grew

the days will blaze with silver and the nights will flare with gold
if your life is truly your life, the gods won't leave you boy
for veins are deep and veins are firm
and flow straight to the heart but the gods won't leave you Matej
so there ain't no need to cry
and I surf down arteries...
