Chewing On Shadows
As I have not trusted, I have not hoped
In the bleak alleyways
And the secondhand streets
Where misery waits
At the turn of your hand
As I have not believed
So I have not seen
The uselessness, the pettiness
And in by the clouds are the sun and the stars
By the walls and the rain
I shall not come to you for tea
As you may come back home with me
Not believing and not seeing the facts
Yapping into our face
Alternate fire, alternate smoke
I shall not wake at seven or eight
As all the hours are now too late
With the lead weights motionless
I spy with my little eye
You and I, my love, you and I
With our backs to each other
Chewing on shadows, dissecting the lights
That their brightness might be classified
And then emasculated
And finally killed
In the bleak alleyways
And the secondhand streets
Where misery waits
At the turn of your hand
As I have not believed
So I have not seen
The uselessness, the pettiness
And in by the clouds are the sun and the stars
By the walls and the rain
I shall not come to you for tea
As you may come back home with me
Not believing and not seeing the facts
Yapping into our face
Alternate fire, alternate smoke
I shall not wake at seven or eight
As all the hours are now too late
With the lead weights motionless
I spy with my little eye
You and I, my love, you and I
With our backs to each other
Chewing on shadows, dissecting the lights
That their brightness might be classified
And then emasculated
And finally killed
