you can run you can run and hide, but you can’t stay there forever
you can wait as long as you want, buy you won’t stay young forever
I can tell by the look on your face, you’re waiting for the night to take the days place
so you can do what you like, in the very low light, you can talk to boys and hold them tight
we were standing on the rivers edge
we were standing on the precipice
and I said isn’t this lovely my princess
and she said to me well I couldn’t care less
it’s the story, the story that tells itself
your boring, your so boring when you’re in good health
the revolutionaries, playing chess in park
down talk about this kind of thing
the business men with watches and their cigarettes
they all worry about this kind of thing
didn’t anyone tell you
that the moon is made of dreamdust and old ice cream
why didn’t anyone tell me
that in a matter of years I would still be seeing things
I find it hard to believe, oh Magdalene
that the things you say aren’t poetry
I find it hard to look away, oh magdalene
when I know so well what’s beneath your jeans
we were dancing in the fire’s light
I was talking like a curious child
I said isn’t this lovely with you by my side
and she said oh I didn’t know you were there all night
I can hardly hear you speak
I wouldn’t give food to a cat quite as meek
or are you growing yellow eyes.
I am tired of this,
I think will take the afternoon
to nap on your windowsill
I am tired of myself
I’ll turn my last few pages
and put me on the shelf
where did you go, where did you hide
what did you see, that scared you so, oh Magdalene
the birds have flown away, something they are scared to say
the seasons shed their winter weight, I am scared, I am scared
can you show me what these symbols mean
behind the man in the painted scene
will you tell me where you’ve been
I would love to know, to know oh Magdalene
