Plastic House on Base of Sky

Delphi it drew us Over the touchscreen Delphi it threw us Up like a stone In sheep's clothing Instrumental The gods that roil Inside of us As she whistles her sweet Oracles Out by the poolside Ravings of suicide As Athens is burning Plots and visions Empty amber bottle Opiate The sky is blue today Gone tomorrow Castalian spring Watching clouds Amalia nods Shield shroud Of moonbeams sacramental Poolside cigarette smoke That gyres up like prophecies Glyph in dragging blood Amalia swayin' through the Hotel corridors Shuffling through the Thousand years Oracular and wandering

Dim light in the bar Makes one look younger Neon lies We sit we drink we pretend We're something that we're not Jumble human bones with Water running over them Unknown Trickle under grate outside Almost sounding lovely All the pain in All the wide world Couldn't fill even a fraction Of the South Pole-Aitken basin But it all fits in shadow pocket Like a knife before it Sticks in neck Potential under icy moon Scream then silence in the gloom Scream then silence splattered room That was then, this was soon But you're too busy talking And I wasn't even listening Hand in shadow pocket Pulse is quickening

Steal through passageways Like water through fountain pipes The eyes of many roll from their holes Out to the causeway Leering along the crooked sidewalks At all there is to see Follow secret back streets Flow ljust like water through a pipeline Avoid the avenues teeming Sun goes down behind landscape seeming Alien in its nightmare evening Step lightly over whores reaching Up through cracks in the concrete Grinning death masks of beauty living Hands like scalpels reaching out Desire killed the curious Incision neat and clean Magnetism spilling onto street Less the distance between Unfathomable points Attraction in repulsion Who ever wanted to live forever?

Satellites with empty eyes Stalk along The starry countryside Titanium ghost Tombstone orbit creeping Thousands of miles above The multitude of dead Crown and constellation Hang antenna vultures Tower over the thermosphere Like omens dead When earth that fed Left its relics in a sky Unobstructed view Ring of eyes watch without Shapes and shadows that do not see Lens reflect trajectory Blue circle turns and turns Awake in the day Asleep in the night Awake in the day Asleep in a grave All sleep on blue grave All sleep Rings of Saturn spin away All these æons spinning Rings of Earth are grinning Satellites in array Spinning as the days unfold Watching as the nights untold Bear witness to another light The ring of satellites Glinting over no one but the Skeletons of endeavor

Darkness in the cradle of my heart will never wane Sandstone boy in wind and rain worn down featureless A dented page of paper from a drawing diary Wrapped in cracks like rivers, sugar ground to dust A brittle urchin desiccated by the ocean air Like a tower of ash upon a cemetery hill I could never last, I could never last, I could never last.
