| BLOODY BEACH AND DANCING GIRLS Sitting at your desk writing Writing all those things you dislike about others and your own soul Smearing the ink, the blood in the beach water These shallow angels would never die for you under this summer sky It was so long ago when time seemed as potent as a sea tide There's a beautiful sunset outside Bathing your former school and your made-up ghostly lovers Who are dancing their youth away in far away nightclubs and oblivious So oblivious to the fact that they were burning stars in the eyes and heart of an ocean of affection and frustrations Beautiful sunset outside It’s laughable when your value only comes from the inside These shallow angels would never die for you under this summer sky In distant cities the young and beautiful and interesting , talking and laughing, neon lit At dusk stray cats came asking for food as you laid down alone in the flowers Deep down there is still blood in the beach water These shallow angels would never die for you under this summer sky You laugh about many things but not love After all you were born warm After all you were born warm You laugh about many things but not love © 2007 Jerome Lebel |
