Battered at with angels and shadows
I knew enough to know your name
Took 2 years of my life and disappeared
An heiress of words
And yet you meant everything
Drank me for all I was worth
A well dried at the back of my throat
So I used bile.
I ate away myself, my pride
This large, swollen shell
No pearl, no pearl, no pearl
No pearl - only stones to throw
And a million plate windows
I see you, there behind the tree
Poking out your tongue and dancing away
Pan like
I see you there, lying on my bed
Angelic with twisted wire
You had me with your cruelty
You had this Helga and spat out the pips
You never from the left,
Never on the left
When we danced I was always the man.
