Ostia (The Death Of Pasolini)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's honey in the
Hollows
And the countours
Of the body
A sluggish
Golden river
A sickly golden trickle
A golden, sticky trickle
You can hear
The bones humming
And the car
Reverses over
The body in the basin
In the shallow
Sea-plane basin
And the car
Reverses over
And his body rolls over
Crushed
From the shoulder
You can hear the
Bones humming
Singing like
A puncture
Killed to keep
The world turning
Throw his bones over
The white cliffs
Of dover
Into the sea
The sea of rome
And the bloodstained
Coast
Of ostia
Leon like a lion
Sleeping in
The sunshine
Lion lies down
Out of the strong
Came forth sweetness
Throw his bones over
The white cliffs
Of dover
And murder me
In ostia
The sea of rome
You can hear his
Bones humming
Throw his bones over
The white cliffs
Of dover
And into the sea
The sea of rome
Then murder me
In ostia
