I knelt I aimed I missed I ran Across the fIeld where our love began The ears of the corn began to melt and swim My 20/20 vision 95% dim I bowed my head to the weight of the sun I saw ribs sticking out through my yellow skin I felt so tall I felt so thin And the children were singing, "Here he comes the killer again Here he comes the chickenkiller again" I was shooting at the birds on the telephone lines Putting little black holes on the speed limit signs And tell me where she is I screamed And tell me where it is she's been Well smiling people gathered round Wearing coloured silk under coloured lights And paper streamers floated down like a skating rink or a boxing fight And grace descended without a sound And the children kept singing, "Here he comes the killer again Here he comes the chickenkiller again" I ran through that crowd calling out your dear name To the blind the deaf the dumb the lame But they shook their heads and pointed to the sky Saying she's in His hands now my boy She caught death as only lovers can ever catch can And the children kept singing, "Here he comes the killer again Here he comes the chickenkiller again" Now the grass is brown and dry beside the track Broken beer bottle shines like our engagement ring And as sure as theres a man on the cross on a hill I'll pay dearly for everything Now they stoop and they poke and they prod and they peer at our prone bodies lying there Like roosters picking at the body of a hen And the children were singing, "Here he comes the killer again Here he comes the chickenkiller again" My ears were filled with that joyful ringing My ears were filled with that happy singing Laughing and pointing and pointing and singing And the children sang..........

Deep in a dream, where no one can find us Whatever hurt you baby, we'll leave behind us Deep in a dream so real you could almost touch it A likeness of life so sweet you could learn to love it I'm awake and the world is sleeping There's not a soul beside me Cars […]
I stumble home at an ungodly hour. I pass out lying under the shower Look at the blood. Dear me, I must have cut myself Can't for the life of me think how I cut myself Just because I'm more level headed than you Don't mean I don't feel the same way you do Even […]
