Oh No, Not So Uh oh, he said he was a neighbour Not so, waiting for a saviour Uh oh, is anyone in labour? Not so, waiting for a saviour You never thought (didn't think) that help would arrive in time You're a sad one, such a sad one You didn't think that beauty can but end in time You've a bad time with (in) the pipeline They said it was a raper And then he tried to knife her Uh oh, you should have read the paper Not dumb, waiting for a saviour You didn't think that time could drag so slow Feel him heaving, feel like screaming Now the lights are starting as your pulse lets go Now your bullet, save the bullet. Underwater Experiences I bet your underwater experiences came in handy When you bit the hand that offered candy And (which) flashed the smile that sank the ship And reached the post before the pip Where salient green depths still refract To bend the mind and burn/hide the facts I bet you never learned that you had a track for the vertigo/I knew your head for heights was (but still) responsible for the vertigo Well I was far too willing to go slow Launching into attractive space Falling from that pure state of grace 32 feet per sec per sec per sec per sec To free my mind and break my neck. Dot Dash Mist closing in, getting thicker One drops out, becoming quicker Lights grow dim, they glimmer The chances smaller, the odds are slimmer Dot dash, dim flash, don't crash Loosening my grip Be sure to tread carefully Steering a passage Finding a line Crosses on fire, crossfire Progressive acceleration, skidding but the expression Remains pan, radiators for all Radial, I'm still in control, I understand, a hand, a hand moved me Driven by self-propulsion Turning right across the stream The risks increased with sustained leisure Courting death, so ill at ease. From The Nursery So truly jolly, an Xmas dolly I talk on request, I'm never depressed I'll wink a good time till someone pokes me One big blue eye out So simply heady, a birthday teddy Punches make me bleat, this bare soul is sweet Keeping you warm at night till someone rubs me Hey, a fun-filled toy Free on a tightrope lives the animal soap Safe, used, been tested, body molester Amphibious charm, scum in several baths Has blurred my features Would you like to say What that silence was meant to intend? Would you like to see What violence these eyes can send To your heart From the nursery.
