How long have we known each other now? Five, ten years, and I
guess we've changed, and we'd
run into each other in the subterranean
world... With the extras in their fright wigs and fins
on their way from funkhole to dugout... and
one night would keel over into another,
and there never would seem to be a day, and
hey, you used to say you were polishing up on your survival tactics
(techinques) for the end of the world... and
you, you used to dig your beak into my ear and say "nothing"
like a secret...
How long have we known each other now? Fifteen, twenty years maybe, and
certainly we've changed... and we'd
run into each other in the subterranean
world...
And before I knew you or before we met
oh yes, way before then I was
itching in the cradle, making my way to the slime pits & the sludge traps
looking for love... and
all the bushy brats turned out from the western burgs
minced in the powdermills, noctambulating around
nowheresville
and some were so desperate for sleep the only retreat was the
sad dormitory... yes, one would go for a rest (or a test?)
How long have we known each other now? up to thirty years I guess, and
maybe we've changed... and
didn't we see each other in the subterranean
world?
You, did you really have your headress? - Hmmm.... yes
I used to dress up
like a girl, and how did you ever make it back home? I... I...
I'd leave a trail of pearls. Did you ever see a doctor - or a priest?
oh yeah - a priest
do you remember the guy with the sign "the end is nigh"? That was
me (do you remember what was written on the back?)
and
Do remember the guy with a boxful of wind? or maybe it was a cassette
I don't really... I don't know either - or was it me?
How long have we known each other now? I've never seen you in my life
(forty years?)
How long have we known each other now? I've never seen you in my life
(fifty years)
How long have we known each other now? I've never seen you in my life
(sixty, seventy, eighty three years)
I hope that we've changed... and
we've never seen each other in the subterranean
