Wide-Eyed, Legless

Down among the dead the wide-eyed
And the legless only half ahead

Half a mouth to laugh in the porthole
With the mold and faded epitaphs

Will you evermore tie up

My hair with velvet bows

Will you evermore pull out
The splinters from my toes

I don't think so
Out in the hornet
Rain the swarming stingers

Pumping poison through my veins
Lying on the star-cross lovers map
Take the beating, lash, lash for lash

Will we evermore kiss

On the boardwalk's fading rail

In the light of the waves

And the comet's waning tail
I don't think so

No more looking back, looking back

Looking back, faded epitaphs

No more looking back, looking back

Looking back, faded epitaphs

No more looking back, looking back

Looking back, faded epitaphs
No more looking back, looking back

Looking back, faded epitaphs
