Night Of The Horsepills

come off it, you know you want to start it

just tell it right

come off it, you know you have to drop this

a thousand acre canvas and you couldn't bear to crop it

i'm a little tired, i'm a little weak

it weighs an ounce in silver, and ten pounds in fresh meat

when she fools you, she fools you in distortion

the night rare topics left us all out in the open

if it lasts an instant, it will smart one week

if it costs a weekend, oh my god oh good grief

i haven't seen you now for years

i hear you stepping down each step

your body burning through a shuttered glade

i'll play the listing doctor, righted by the rube,

you play the unkempt nurse, where lighting's confused

they tangle antlers over all you said you think you could do

which tangle up mine too, but i'll be back next year,

with a cape and a cane, and my frail restraints

first the actors, then brokers, last the ad-men lose disdain

you got off early, from where ever you'd been

one single flaw, and we're back at the beginning

i haven't seen you now for years

i hear you stepping down each stair

a knowing laugh that could defy that place

i can feel it shifting back, from this, from this

i can feel it shifting back, from this, from this

you play the sleeping circuit boards,

i'll play a rye escort

we could stand outside the din, again, again

we could stand outside the halls, again, again

you might even want me still, you just don't know how
