lyrics

When the fountain on the desk of the crust erupts,
when the markings on the tokens join the sandstars,
when the tidal waves evaporate annihilate
our garden will erode.

When the furnace bursts into every basement,
when the nightlights burn a path from the outside in,
when the doorbells cast their windy spell, well
our garden will erode.
Eight million years ago.

And there our sunlight is a pinhole,
a speck in another’s constellation,
a minor player in their fables,
a tiny foothill in their tableaux.

I spot a shiny George Washington on the rocks.
Outside the brothel they fight like a pair of gamecocks.
The waves keep crashing on and crashing on and
polish every stone.

A pair of red shades melts into a pool of plastic.
Expanding suns mean shrinking earth until the clocks tick,
and share our energy, our luminance expansive
and polish every stone.
Eight million years ago.

And there our sunlight is a halo,
a speck in another’s constellation,
a minor player in their fables,
a tiny foothill in their tableaux.
