From the Album: Drumming on the Walls (1989)
Blackout
I find I'm spinning on my back across the floor,
I try to stay still but there's no stopping,
I feel your gravity wake in my blood,
I reel across the room and blackout, this is love.
One of these days I'll hollow out my whole heart with my hands,
I will take these broken bones, rebuild myself a man.
Take these fetters, I'll hammer them together for a soul,
But I'll be lost with the coming of your first breeze.
I try to run away, a pack across the town.
I hide, desire is a heartless hunter.
I feel the trajectory mapped in my blood,
I wheel around your feet and blackout, this is love.
One of these days I'll hollow out a pencil with my hands,
I will take a fountain pen and build myself a mast.
Take these letters, I'll stitch them together for a sail,
But I'll be back with the coming of your first breeze.
I find I rocket through the crowds above the ground,
I'd lie in wait for you but can't stop moving.
I yield to the roaring that's been coursing through my blood,
I kneel, give up my ghost and blackout, this is love.
One of these days I'll be watching while and apple hits the ground,
I will wait till the earth accepts the seed and takes it down,
Somewhat better I will understand why gravity is law,
And I'll be lost with the coming of the spring season.
Desire's only chemistry and Love a form of gravity,
Neurons twitch and flicker like the box that switches traffic lights.
My soul is a black snake a boy lit on the sidewalk,
It curls a twist and spitting sparks tills ash across the ground.
One of these days I'll hollow out my whole heart with my hands,
I will take these broken bones, rebuild myself a man.
Take these fetters, I'll hammer them together for a soul,
But I'll be lost with the coming of the blackout, this is love.
