Dispassion

All lined up

Line upon broken line

Whereupon He says:

Give unto me the venal swine

Upon the stage

A kingdom's corpse

Inks within his eye.....

And hearts

By the thousand

They are broken there, you know

And cities

They are razed with a tedious

Regularity.....

Oh she has the kind of lips

That hold the headless

And the way they make her

Wear her skin

So sure to draw those careless in

So sure to set the headless straining

Against that cross-to-bear within

Strain strain strain

And a fall from grace

So cool those eyes

They're so wild those lips

So saved the soul

Soul down.....

See the man who proves

This poor and cheap

See the eyes that wild

Invite to climb inside

And the way they make her

Wear her skin

So sure to draw those careless in

So sure to set

The headless straining

Against that cross-to-bear within

See the man who proves

This poor and cheap

See the eyes what wild

Invite to climb inside

We deal dispassion

And this is sheer dispassion....
