    street lady waits

    streetwalker
    caught in the new truck headlights

    darker shadow

    round in round
    underneath the lamplight
    look at that cat dance!

    bare branches

    oily fingers
    dropping yesterday
    take me home
    I'll dig a tunnel
    from my window to yours

    The gentle whisper
    Scuttles its way down the hall
    Quiet as a mouse
    Makes much more sense....to live in the present tense.

    sinister siblings shards
    of glass glowing
    campfires
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    earth raged red
    cinders cool black

    world is black and white

    Fanged demon mine
    belches frothing lungs, blood spit

    fanged black faces
    drink and shout so loud
    their broken voices...

    break the silence,
    spoils a bid for a night
