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 © 2008 Jerome Lebel |
