From the album Double Elvis

lyrics

shadows

poppies growing
through sleeper cracks
on disused rail road tracks
art deco trimmed
crucifixes of gloom
green phosphorescent Jesuses
a wilted yellow rose
under the weeping willow
incipient tragedy
darkness of the mind’s eye
darkness of the mind’s eye
you the smile of his heart
you the smile of his soul
you attracted to sorrow
with such dignity, dignity
a kiss goodbye, a kiss goodbye
finality, the reality
the reality, finality

where did you go?
where did you go?
and why didn’t you say so?
and why didn’t you say so?
say so

your sidewalk eyes
your sidewalk eyes
no more
mirroring
no more
mirroring
evaporating mirages
isolation and detachment
the penetrating menace of
nightmarish introspection
shadows burnt onto walls
shadows burnt onto walls
shadows burnt onto walls

all goes quieter
all goes quieter
quieter
quieter
