Back To Back

from Dark Blue by Steven Lambke

/

lyrics

Blackbirds on the whirlwind,
the blood of the world circling.
Eternal hunger. Hunter.
Scavenger at chance.
Lay down with me in the guts of it.

Back to back, belly to belly
Loose this planet from its spin
Lay me down and love me
Back to back, belly to belly

My faith had grown thin.
Ribs showed through my skin
like the handprints of the sculptor.
Unfinished thing. Restless wandering.
It’s a beautiful world
until you drop down dead at the sight of it.

Back to back, belly to belly
I remember everything
Lay me down and love me
Back to back, belly to belly

There’s a clatter from the tombs,
the sound of trumpets and drums.
Your perfect marble memory –
missing limbs, broken nose –
it’s like a poison in the wells of Rome.

Back to back, belly to belly
I remember everything
Lay me down and love me
Back to back, belly to belly

Back to back, belly to belly
Loose this planet from its spin
Lay me down and love me
Back to back, belly to belly
