DECONSTRUCTING LUCY

and then i found myself deconstructing lucy
all the writings on the wall
don't say enough to save us all

the room is bare - the statue crumbles
and after all you said about it
don't try and think your way around it
those signs are pointing to the penthouse
where lucy stands alone
as quiet as a mouse

and then i found myself deconstructing lucy
all the writings on the wall
don't say enough to save us all

the air is thick - the gates wide open
and this human nature lives and breathes
between the bricks and thoughts like these
it's hot! hotter than we'll mention
and lucy takes a drag
and she sticks it out, sticks it out

and then i found myself deconstructing lucy
all the writings on the wall
don't say enough to save us all

this fever burns - it's all we've got now
the second hand goes flying in reverse
until we start again
we're all like a fly before the windshield
the universe and me, we did the deal, did the deal
yeah, it's all like the wind before the sunrise
where lucy takes your hand and says
you're in for such a big surprise
and then she's out the door and in the headlights
and i turn and swim into the shadows of the night

and then i found myself deconstructing lucy
all the writings on the wall
don't say enough to save us all

-Summer 1998
