Wide-Eyed, Legless

Down among the dead, the wide-eyed

And the legless, only half ahead

Half a mouth to laugh in the porthole

With the mold and faded epitaphs

Will you evermore tie up my hair with velvet bows?

Will you evermore pull out the splinters from my toes?

I don't think so

Out in the hornet rain, the swarming stingers

Pumping poison through my veins

Lying on the star-cross lovers map

Take the beating, lash, lash for lash

Will we evermore kiss on the boardwalk's fading rail?

In the light of the waves and the comet's waning tail?

I don't think so

No more looking back, looking back

Looking back, faded epitaphs

No more looking back, looking back

Looking back, faded epitaphs

No more looking back, looking back

Looking back, faded epitaphs

No more looking back, looking back

Looking back, faded epitaphs
