Jerry

What shall we do now then, Jerry?

Nothing's on my mind

August heat has come and set

The tenements on fire

If the night brings jasmine on the breeze

Everybody looks like police

See the light see the shade

Are you afraid? Am I afraid?

Pick me up or let me fall or change me all around

With the afternoon in darkness

Will it still come round?

See the light, feel the heat

See the faces in the street

See the stars see the sky

Like a razor on mine

And the people drift down from the avenues and lines

With coat and shoes I'm on my knees

What shall we do now then, Jerry?

Nothing's in my heart

All my life my hands are empty

Haunted in the dark

If I fall in love with you

Are we one or am I too?

This is all I know

That my life is so
