Crawl in the vein up
To some shit place go
To rinse him off your skin
On the 5th step
Marilyn sings to herself
A song from the Inner womb
Singing on the rooftops
Singing in the rain
Forest-child, dark skinned
Aching and hungry
She is moon beam
And fellow-tree
A hollow trunk, to fill, to riddle
Sylvie is wishing for an early moon
She is praying her day would end
Crawl into a lonely bed
And pretend
Make love early morning
Empty you out for the day
No excess weight to hold
Two flights away
x2
Backstreet. Broken door
Marylyn is giving head
Dean is on the 7th
Singing heaven to a seventy year old man
Who can afford him
The forest child
Dark skinned and hungry
Hunted, raped,
Killed by the saintly woman
We all have loved
Gave her our cities
Have to her, bled our hearts,
Once freed
She is slaughtering the innocent
She is moon-beam
And fellow tree
And wisps of fairy air
And other gone- by things
By gone- by days
And Sylvie is down at the bar
Waiting for number five of the day
To win a fiver, maybe ten
And pretend
Chorus
When us silly children could dream
And when our hands were not tainted
After all
Life is just a set of numbers
Are all set out in a row
Where is your ticket ?
What price do you pay ?
Where in the Q should I stand ?
Sylvie is wishing for an early moon
She is praying her day would end
And crawl into a lonely bed
And pretend
Chorus
Emotions too heavy to carry
Emotions too heavy a price to pay
I promised you a song Sylvie
You are moonbeam and fellow tree
To all the shit
Life has given you
The smile you keep upon your face
A stranger in a crowded place
Your face is not forgotten
And neither is your name
Sylvie is wishing for an early moon
She is praying her day would end
And crawl into her lonely bed
And pretend
She makes love early in the morning
And empty you out for the day
Silly children, silly children
We all pretend
