about

Based on Improvisation and Organic Recording. Lyrics are random lines from a notebook.

lyrics

"He didn’t hold his coat like that"
Said the Widow to the Artist
He didn’t think like that
He didn’t talk like that
He didn’t act like that
You’re wrong

And the angels at that rowdy peak
Wanting for sex or for wine
Or someplace quiet to sleep

Young Orpheus, down at the depths
And he turned at the banks
And wept deeply

He diddled his lyre for death
But death would not give him his
Love back

Death could not give him his
Love back
For his love was gone
He had left his love

And the sun extended its wings
Atop the crown of my head
And the sun extended its wings
Upon the soft crown of my head

My world buckled
And fell to its knees
It wailed, it wailed
Please, please have mercy on me

Mother, have mercy on me
I don’t deserve this
I don’t want this

But God didn’t care
God had better things to do

And the problem was,
That her throat was armoured against
My ministrations
The problem always was
That her throat was armoured against
My ministrations
