The Weight of the Wind

The flashlight shot right through your flickering heart
 People's movements round you fall apart
 Cackle out an ooze of sweat and laughter
 Spin faster
 Learn your eyes' distress from quietening gazes
 Find your swift ignition flare amazement
 A gutter ballroom to your feet
 Like raw meat
 They move slowly - how they bore me, live so slowly
 Phosphor drowns in cigarettes breathless smoke
 The prince of tuesday nights he spoils his joke
 Tickle fancies till they scream in rapture
 Moisture
 I could never share your world
 suddenly it's too absurd
 Sometimes even dance can limp
 sometimes your diction's stumbleing
 Your footsteps never kiss the cancelled rhythms
 Schism
 So here inside me it's all very quiet
 Drifting like the wind in my scorched hair
 Shifting like the winter through bald trees
 All my life i am tonight
 Growing like a cramp in your right hand
 Thriving like the winter's divorced land
 Frustration leads to knowledgs
 Burn your laughter mirthless
 So here inside it's all right
 Ruthless like the needle in my eye
 Cutting deep like friends caught when they lie
 Raging gives you knowledgs
 Pack the stars up mirthless
 The dancefloor cracks your bones and launches a laugh
 The dust creeps in your lungs and stutter coughs
 Your hand bursts open, hit by treacherous footsteps
 Sunset
 You move slowly - how you bore me, live so slowly
 I move slowly - how i bore me, how i bore me
