Why does he walk the river? Maybe he killed a man He stops Looks at his filthy hands And keeps walking Kid is an alien listen He lives in an age of foolery It isn't his aim to fit in Maybe the river's his way to forget Maybe the kiddy is walking be Cause he is strange in the cortex Maybe a thing he's after Swims in the water there Dragging its body in weeds and algae Using a straw for air He looks. Something moves He looks at his hands again A jogger that's dragging a dog hard Jogs past and yanks the chain Her earpods blocking the sounds of life as it dies screaming She drags her dog off in the flat white evening The kiddy observes His eyes filling with dirt and grief He sees a riot coming Sees bodies that hurt and bleed Sees fractions Splitting to further fractions A child lie dreaming A preacher with a wild eye preaching On the ruins of an airport In a hot dry hungry So He walks until the town comes country And the river runs quicker But deep clean darker And he walks beneath trees A little calmer Until at last where a warehouse Is swallowed by the weeds He stops, sits among em And breaths I don't feel like I'm dying when I'm side by side with you Feel something liven in my intestines for you So hold me tight and I will risk my life for you Just gimme one night to forget the danger outside It isn't madness It's a world war he says A war the world fed and which my mind has made The war that rages frantic in asylum greys When I close my eyeses rises in a tidal wave That's made of guns and mischief The Made of bloody hands > That bang the glass while I am Lying,Trying hard to understand The sense of any given day World war bristling in my thickened veins Wind that whips and Rain that inundates I feel too mad much For this real so numb me I feel too keenly for this Cunt of a country That I love That cut its sons tear ducts before they reach puberty Where Love's a dog we beat brutally and drag to die Prophets strung up Margins maximised Refugees drowning in the damp divide I see and hear it all It all is swelling in my lower throat I wrap a scarf around it buttoning my overcoat And walking As far as any can from streets and storefronts > Along the river where the trees are crowding and the mud is wet And I will walk until decay claims my organs And exhaustion draws me down and every sun has set Come with me cos I I don't feel like I'm dying when I'm side by side with you Feel something liven in my intestines for you So hold me tight and I will risk my life for you Just gimme one night to forget the danger outside I don't feel like I'm dying when I'm side by side with you The light looks fine and vibrant when we're thigh to thigh it's true So hold me tight and I will risk my life for you Just gimme one night to forget the danger outside Call me strange she says But I am into you Your eyeses have a hidden moon That rises when you're grinning you Are winning babber babber you're a fanfare Whatever weirdness thickens in your insides and drags you down I am a frightened little infant too Pikachu With various disguises that I don as armour,Here Take my arm you are a queer Warm stunner And as pleasing as an onamarta peia Warm is what I'm after The cool kids can do a runner now Let's snuggle up and hunker down While the world coming like Scenes from Bucarau And grief swings in Unannounced At least let's have A stark nude wrestle And then lie fragrantly Stinking of pheromones And ancient cheese Chuckling From now until the tealight's guttering My lover lover lover stay with me Cos I'm telling you I I don't feel like I'm dying when I'm side by side with you Feel something liven in my intestines for you So hold me tight and I will risk my life for you Just gimme one night to forget the danger outside I don't feel like I'm dying when I'm side by side with you The light looks fine and vibrant when we're thigh to thigh it's true So hold me tight and I will risk my life for you Just gimme one night to forget the danger outside
