Penetration

Tom Verlaine · Other Songs - Tom Verlaine

All afternoon gazing at the moon

Well, I'm forgetting things before I think them

The stars are out; they're writing on my brow

Your names, your qualities - I could drink them



Deep, deep pulsation

Deep, deep penetration



You say, "okay, please, get me what I need."

Well, I'm sorry; I can't find it; please, don't hate me

You glow in the dark, whispering in sparks

You say "I'm dripping wet..."



You build a ladder and you lay it on the ground

Then you move away, you move away, you move away

Without a sound
