like bombshells falling on windmills

 Like butterflies' eyes

Falling eyelashes from the skies

Like bombshells falling on windmills

Like sky thrills filling

The windowsills

With sly shys, with nice guys

And dolls

And ice cold

souls

Like bombshells

falling on windmills

Gravity lane

 Gravity lane

Fallin down

Down on my luck again

In gravity lane

Wishing well quarter

I threw a dime in the water

Gravity pulled me in

I forgot how to swim

Won't you pull me out

I don't wanna drown

In the town 

where it rains 

forever and a day

Down gravity's lanes

Gotta walk on the moon

I'm gonna leap pretty soon

It's gonna be like a swoon

But it might take me til June

Cos here gravity's thick

Just like your lipstick

And I could float on your lips

Only your rip tide rips

And gravity pulled me down

Don't wanna wear this crown

It's heavy as horns

My little crown of thorns

So won't tear it off

I love you hard not soft

But I can't wear your cloth

It drags me down to earth

And I need to be free

Cos I'm made of gravity

The phases of the moon

She I can't follow

Up and down like a yoyo

There's the new moon

Better let her know now

She, I can't follow

Silver thread to her bed

The Waning Crescent

She's the lady in red

She, I can't follow

I'm like a rainbow on the blink

The Third quarter 

She gives me a wink, I think

She, I can't follow

Her summer swallow

The Waning gibbous

Her wax wings I kiss

In her wax work museum

And the full moon

Was I a loon crying at noon?

Was it a neap tide

Was she a true bride?

Had she lied? We all lie

It's just the phases of the moon

It's only true at that time

The waxing gibbous 

She was melting like a candle

Too hot to handle

I never tried

The first quarter hid us

Occluded from the light

I saw a polaroid flash

I saw a polar bear dash

Across a wire and I didn't care

The Waning crescent slid

Down our throats

Like a lemon slice

Like a glass of wine it disappeared

Brought into focus

The sharp taste

Bitter as leaving your lover

And that's how I follow her

like the phases of the moon

After the glitter had fallen

 After the glitter had fallen

The ball had stopped spinning

The music turned off

The costumes were hanging on their hangers

The models had danced their socks off

After the manikins of bodkins

Had scaled the omphalos of night

After the slim ones, the trim ones

Had returned their souls to the light

After their bodies and shoddies 

Had shouldered their blames and their shames

After the love of their eyes had smouldered

In their ear's last refrain

After their mouths had powdered and chowdered 

and lisped their clasps undone

Then I knew that I was older, but not

colder for the sun had still shone

As the hall let down its decorations

Like a dog shaking off

As a christmas tree moults its needles

So spring crept into our midst

And winter was a burnt out candle

That really no one could handle or miss

Still I knew I was a vandal for the words

I'd used when instead I should've kissed

Yet Jesus still lay on the cross

And Mary Magdalene cried at his feet

And all the holy wine had cost

The word forgiveness spread on the street

C Lily

Reused love

 I used to love you

Like an American loves Paris

I used to love the allure

The romance of you

But now I am embarrassed

Because all you ever were was a false messenger

You told me straight , but I never believed

You loved not him but her

I used to love you

Perhaps I still do

Just like I love a mountain

I've seen while passing through

But now I don't want to walk up its paths

I don't wish to explore the view

I used to love you

But now I'm sure 

it's not true

You did nothing wrong

That was my thing, I felt too strong

It wasn't you but me

I loved someone who was

already free

I thought I'd save you, but he

He has been a slave to you

And you to he

It's not that I see a golden cart come round the corner

With all the promises you made to him

Look like a pyramid, but taller

I think you lied to yourself

That's all and I came along for the order

You served me a dish of cold radishes

And expected nothing but a mourner

Well I can't be sad when your relationship has died

Because in my eyes it was all lies

no matter how hard you've tried

If you think I'll mop up the pieces

Or offer pity to those who have cried

I couldn't be the man in that city

So lonely that I could have died

You've used and abused his love

He's used up now and you've sucker punched

The blues out of him

While he's mourning his system

Of doubts, and about that he's listing

Just look at the way you have kissed him

The back of the neck

Like you're paying his cheque

You better bet that it was love you missed in him

I cannot love you, I'm disgusted by this betrayal

It's all just a home movie portrayal

Of love gone awry

But I'm an honest guy

I'll tell you, I can't stand to see this low railing

It's better to kill him than help him

If you love me, then there's no sense in the whelping

He's a beaten dog, let him lie with the hogs

I have no more pity than is self effacing

I love you still it seems, but it's physical

It's not what it means

I'd love to be close to you

To know and play host to you

But the most of you

Is the tail end of what's been

If you pass her by

 If you pass by my love

Tell her it's she

I've been thinking of

If you pass by, if you pass by my love

I won't pass by your love,

I won't pass by your love

It is all I can do

To try and stop thinking about you

Oh I won't pass by your love
