I want to love you now
I want to love you then
I want to love you never
And then begin again
All the tassels of my belt
Go flying in the sky
When you bend down to laugh at me
From your place on high
I want to be the fool
The one you send away
After you have used him up
Every second day
I want to be the rose
You beckon with a yawn
Limping on a thorny crutch
Across the burning lawn
See what you have done to me
As if you give a shit
I used to live behind a line
But now I’m over it
I won’t come back to say goodbye
I’ll nеver leave your sidе
Until I am the other man
And you are someone’s bride
Sit down on my memory
When you are in pain
When you are in pleasure
Sit down on it again
Thank you for your courtesy
And for your drunken kiss
I’m drunker than you’ll ever be
I hate to tell you this
And every night’s cemented tight
Until you strike and rise
Against me like a tidal flood
To crack the wall of lies
And push me down forever
To places where I find
The fossils of my brotherhood
The smooth ones and the spined
And then a holy moment comes
With crisp sobriety
I see that we are meant for chains
Though every atom’s free
I see that we are meant for chains
Tho’ every atom’s free
And even beauty meets an edge
As one can plainly see
Then summer has your golden hair
And autumn has your ghost
And we are at a juicy feast
Where no one is the host
Then we begin to form again
It takes a little while
I circle round your privacy
For many a lonesome mile
