uh
To the pain
A man came up from town
With a pale look in his eyes
The turquoise oceans once in there
Were like the dying skies
The skies over ancient deserts
Well, towns cried lay me down
And the wrinkles wore like hieroglyphics
On the face of a man
Who came from town
A man came up from town With thunder in his chest
And the brain-heart cry that made him gentle
Now had come to rest
The rest of Stonecliff houses Well,
then Mojave went to sleep
And the man who came from town Looked thirsty and the words
Of his words came sheer
Town came up from man
With children close behind
And the shadows of the walls in the
summertime Didn't let their pretty eyes shine
Shine like the eyes of cheetahs Who run to the center of the earth
And the children came from man And so
they cursed his birth
A man came up from town Oh,
the lady on his breath
The lady was the flesh of life But she wore a cloak of death
And the cloak his fingers could not weave
A robe that knew no crown
Then he sipped my stew And he said, thank you
And the man
went back to town
