PEARLMAN, Sandy
Subhuman
I am becalmed
Lost to nothing
Warm weather and
Holocaust
Left to die by two good friends
Abandoned me and put to sleep
Left to die by two good friends
Tears of God flow as I bleed
So ladies, fish, and gentlemen
Here's my angled dream
See me in the blue sky bag
And meet me by the sea
Oyster boys are
Swimming for me now
Save me from the
Death-like creatures
Oyster boys are swimming now
Hear them chatter on the tide
We understand, we understand
But fear is real and so do I
So ladies, fish, and gentlemen
…..
Oyster boys are
Swimming for me
Just one deal is what
We made now
Forest keys and whirlwind cold
Green keys too and keys of gold
Even locks that won’t explode
When the skies become a scroll
So ladies, fish, and gentlemen
…..
Astronomy
The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Like acid and oil on a madman's face
His reason tends to fly away
Like lesser birds on the four winds
Like silver scrapes in May
And now, the sands become a crust
Most of you have gone away
Come Suzy dear, let's take a walk
Just out there upon the beach
I know you'll soon be married
And you want to know where winds come from
Well, it's never said at all
On the map that Carrie reads
Behind the clock back there, you know
At the four winds bar
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Four winds at the four winds bar
Two doors barred and windows barred
One door let to take you in
The other one just mirrors it
Hey!Hey! Hey!
In hellish glare and inference
The other one's a duplicate
The queenly flux, eternal light
Or the light that never warms
Yes, the light that never, never warms
The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Miss Carrie nurse and Suzy dear
Would find themselves at the four winds bar
It's the nexus of the crisis
And the origin of storms
Just the place to hopelessly
Encounter time and then came me
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Call me Desdenova
Eternal light
These gravely digs of mine
Will surely prove a sight
And don't forget my dog,
fixed and consequent
Astronomy...a star
