jesus, etc.

jesus, don't cry
you can rely on me honey
you can combine anything you want

i'll be around
you were right about the stars
each one is a setting sun

tall buildings shake
voices escape singing sad sad songs
tuned to chords strung down your cheeks
bitter melodies turning your orbit around

don't cry
you can rely on me honey
you can come by anytime you want

i'll be around
you were right about the stars
each one is a setting sun

tall buildings shake
voices escape singing sad sad songs
tuned to chords strung down your cheeks
bitter melodies turning your orbit around

voices whine
skyscrapers are scraping together
your voice is smoking
last cigarettes are all you can get
turning your orbit around

our love
our love
our love is all we have

our love
our love is all of god's money
everyone is a burning sun

tall buildings shake
voices escape singing sad sad songs
tuned to chords strung down your cheeks
bitter melodies turning your orbit around

voices whine
skyscrapers are scraping together
your voice is smoking
last cigarettes are all you can get
turning your orbit around

last cigarettes are all you can get
turning your orbit around
last cigarettes are all you can get
turning your orbit around

Portrait of Andre Breton with spectacles, 1924
(Author unknown)


All the Schoolgirls Together


Often you say making a mark in the earth with your heel as

          the wild rose blooms in a bush

Wild one seemingly made only of dew

You say The whole sea and the whole sky for a single

Victory of childhood in the country of dance or better for a

          single
Embrace in a train corridor
Going to the devil with rifle shots on a bridge or better
Yet for a single timorous word
Such as must be said while gazing at you
By a blood-stained man whose name goes far from tree to
          tree
Who keeps going in and out among a hundred birds of snow
Where then is it nice
And when you say it the whole sea and the whole sky
Scatter like a cloud of little girls in the yard of a strict
          boarding school
After a dictation in which The heart takes
Was perhaps written The heart aches

-Andre Breton
