I Long For This Moment As It Happens

All your sisters settle down
All your brothers fuck around
How that works I've never found

I must think much of you
to spend my debating
whether or not I think you're even worth hating

A road stretches underneath
forever and ever
my eternity is set to meet me
in evening trains at the hands of LIONS and JACKALS

Honey I should tell you
I sleep without a bed
He burned it in a garden fire
many years ago
Never saw that man again
with his darting eyes it's no surprise he tried to kiss you
Couldn't hold his liquor

I heard he's clean and sober now
Yeah he sleeps like a Buddhist
he stuffed his pillow with the feathers of a thousand yellow roses

Genie, genie, what's your name?
prove to me I'm not insane
When you left the bottle it was filled with pills,
a bitter reminder that life's full of thrills.

The sweet taste of Sweden
my garden of Eden
My Eve grew up singing songs in New York
but my soul has been sold to the attic

I almost took the quick route to love and salvation
but daddy I got stuck at an empty train station
when a bum in a corner told me to get it together and carried on living

God don't exist but I'm afraid to be free
Political apocalypse ain't good enough for me
cause the newsmen keep looking for nothing to see

How many times have I sat at this table
engaging myself in conversation
patiently waiting for new inspiration.
