The City is Calling
the city is calling / everybody is searching for the keys /
to all the prisons that the cruel and kind intention can create
/ the boys and girls of winter gather at the end of November
/ to drink the drops of joys and sorrows from each others dripping
trees
all of life's secrets are in your branches / make sure it's
the truth before you write it down kids / stair at the kiss-marks
on a spiderman notebook / waxy sweetness, to explore every degree
of your mental health
much better to pass into that other world / in the full glory
of the passions that you found here / than to fade and wither
with age / from watching the flickering light dim in the eyes
of the living.
all of life's secrets are in your branches / make sure it's
the truth before you write it down kids / stair at the kiss-marks
on a spiderman notebook / to explore every degree of your mental
health / save up all of your innocence and grow the ripe fruit
/ to explore every degree of your mental health
