Unburden

Hi baby, what do you want to talk about?

I'm here, right here

Behind me the road, in front, a grey wall

There is no background, no story to tell, no point

The search is over

I bet you're naked, I know what you're doing

Don't imagine I'm honest

I dress up everything I say as integrity

And they believe me

God, whose name I so often invoke

God, is silent: and I babble.

Honey, is there something you want me to say?

Do you wanna know what I'm doing?

I'm pulling my dress off. That's better.

Now I'm picking up my cigarette.

I can see you. I can see the brush caressing your hair

And the cigarette hanging from your pretty hands.

I smell your perfume.

We could be as one.

You are my chance, I know you.

Are you ready baby,

Are you going to do it for me now?

We're alone and on fire

The years spin backwards, forgotten, to a blank horizon

But here the lines cross.

At this point, nothing
