Mermaid

That's how they slipped off To drift upon the ice floe Impulses switched off Spraypainting endless tableaux The marble echoes The mirrors gently pulsate And trembling clock-ghosts Press to their hearts all sun-shaped Two dreamers touching clouds Electric raining down Soft twinges speak aloud All synchronized in sound Spun in silken weather Legs entwined together Reach out under twilight Feel his pulse, know he's alive Reach out under twilight Feel her pulse, know she's alive That's how they slipped in, Away from smoke and x-rays And all confessions Converged to build their nesting-place Two dreamers spitting leaves Upon each other's wounds Soft twinges, how they bind And blend to something new Life looks so much better Legs entwined together Reach out under twilight Feel her pulse, know she's alive Reach out under twilight Feel his pulse, know he's alive
