Too hard for me to fit my favorite lyrics into just two lines... some favorites:
Ramona, come closer
Shut softly your watery eyes
The pangs of your sadness
Will pass as your senses will rise
The flowers of the city
Though breathlike, get deathlike at times
And there's no use in tryin'
To deal with the dyin'
Though I cannot explain that in lines.
'The tragic figure' her sister did shout
'Leave her alone, God damn you, get out'
And I in my armor, turning about
And nailing her in the ruins of her pettiness.
Beneath a bare light bulb the plaster did pound
Her sister and I in a screaming battleground
And she in between, the victim of sound
Soon shattered as a child to the shadows.
Don't ask her what it was,
Tell her what it is.
If I'm just bad news,
Then you're a lier.
I've been dazed and confused for so long,
Its not true.
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.
St. Stephen with a rose,
In and out of the garden he goes
...
Did it matter, does it now,
Stephen would answer if he only knew how.
Faring thee well now.
Let your life proceed by its own design.
Nothing to tell now.
Let the words be yours, I'm done with mine.
