The Swallow Song

I’m not too sure will I make it Confusing the day with night My visions are sure they are naked And see-through held up to the light I’ve been thinking it out Since that thief shut my mouth With the words that he took to be true He made off so fast Couldn’t stop so he crashed But too late I was wearing his shoes I had to call up the doctor I knew we would not have met by chance But he said he was rather quite busy And really tied up in his pants I’m a casual liar With a hypocrite smile And I can’t get up from the ground He said take some of these Get up on your knees Keep your loyalty profound Lit up to take another hit The swallow song had just begun Threw away my senses so quick Now I’d trade my eyelids for some Couldn’t hear the clock No ticking no tock A timeless spell in the park In the hours I had not I was happy as I walked Knowing shadows were not cast in the dark ‘Twas there I found Susanna the dancer She opened the door well it was her place Could see her wondering what’s he after Is it a funny look or just his face? Foot in the door wasn’t trying to sell Couldn’t stand still On no other shelf Her creamy thighs opened Without a noise spoken That is all that I’m wanting to tell
