lyrics

Junk flares inside me.
Junk it flares inside me.
Like this caterpillar burning in newspaper
Life is a ring of red beads
My father once said that
and now I know what he meant
Life is a sable coat
it drags along the ground behind us
It weighs on the shoulders like a hundred silky dead.

She wore it the opera one spring night
the yellow light of enormous windows
blew through the darkness.

Here's the trouble with the heavy-assed-ness of everything
in a pink velour pocket a tiny soul stirs
it needs to die
you think the soul is mine but no
it's hers

She stares out the window
her young eyes like bits of dead mouse with the feet still attached
she stares at the exact spot where someone is smashing her windshield with a day star
the darkest heart isn't dark at all
it is a white flower
it unfolds and sits alone
in red rivers.
