MADNESS ON THE BALCONY


She loves herself on the balcony
Above the trees
Made so blue
by the neon spectres

Turning her head inside she sees a picture of God looking at the empty apartment
Looking at her, she feels
Feeling her wants, she feels
He could be
gripping her by her body
Throw her around
Not so far
Not at the end
Where we all live and all love and all hate
and most definitely end up unsure about reality itself

"I’ll always remember him" she says
"He drove so fast to get to my despair
poor man he was and is
no more money for the trips
no money for food
but he doesn't need any
strange people might want his mind
his blood or whatever else
but they’ll never get it
not any of it"
"Madness makes me feel that way," she says
"That funny teary way
that funny teary way"

"Now that he is with everyone
madness makes me love everyone," she says
Now that he is with everyone

"Now that he is with everyone
madness makes me love everyone," she says
Now that he is with everyone

She loves herself on the balcony
Above the trees
Made so blue
by the neon spectres

"Now that he is with everyone
madness makes me love everyone," she says
