Inside Our Love

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
