Martha Curie had a visitor today
reminds me of the time my husband came
back before he said he was too lonely and that he was divorcing me.
William got the car and the city got the house
cuz it would be ten years till I got out
plus the social worker said I wouldn't be needing things like that.
I got a feeling all the contracts
They're for your safety not mine.
They save you from the depth of human relationships when you haven't got the staffing or the time.
For hysterics like me
Bitch why're you staring at me?
You not I'm not the kind of crazy where you don't know you're crazy.
I feel like a baby when you do this to me.
I feel like a baby with thee.
I got a feeling all the contracts
They're for your safety not mine.
They save you from the depth of human relationships when you haven't got the funding or the time.
For hysterics like me
Bitch why're you staring at me?
You not I'm not the kind of crazy where you don't know you're crazy.
I feel like a baby. Why would you do that to me?
I feel like a baby with thee.

Restless Arms

You took the rushes from the floor.
Backed out slowly from the door.
Oh where did you go? Oh where did you go?
A silent baby in your arms.
Your smile filled by broken charm.
Oh where did you go? Oh where did you go?
Singing songs everyone knows
but I'm sitting here all alone
Every day from dusk till dawn
Where did you go? Oh where did you go?
You crossed the river at the ford.
Just tired arms to keep him warm.
Oh where did you go? Oh where did you go?
You searched for ending through the years.
Learned to disappear in air.
Oh where did you go? Oh where did you go?
Singing songs everyone knows
but I'm sitting here all alone
Every day from dusk till dawn
Where did you go? Oh where did you go?

The City, The Fever

Late at night the soul lingers on
there's no respite and wide awake comes dawn.
Our last words ring like cannons through the air.
Chest left aching for a heart no longer there.
The city weighs its cold hell on me.
Daydreams of ocean and meadow and green.
One room to write on, your face all I see.
Take me to home and cleanse me of me.
I can't sleep
I can't eat
It's so cold in this heat
All my friends, all my friends
All are dead, all are dead
The crib yet lays bare, fear crippling relief.
My mind is a fever burning death into me.
I walk through the wind just to numb my agony.
Watching a man charging fare for his teeth.
The city weighs its cold hell on me.
Daydreams of hope and my own family.
Four walls to hold me, your face all I see.
God please give me back the sun and the sea.
I can't sleep
I can't eat
It's so cold in this heat
All my friends, all my friends
All are dead, all are dead
