Joe opened his hands and he saw his life It was running down his fingers like water like ice-cream like champaign It was running down his hands towards the day when it ends Mae kept her eyes closed and imagined the nights they were cruising through her brain like pain like lightning like horses they were cruising through her brain to the point they come again People - faking fading faces People - facing fading fates Jill went through the rain and she heard the world It was floating through her body like coffee like marbles like fear It was floating through her veins and she sensed what she could hear Jack wasn't at home when he smelled the light It was steaming roundhis eyes like vapour like laughter like air It was steaming round his nose whirling smoke in overdose People - faking fading faces People - facing fading fates Buzz threw out his watch and he felt the time It was dripping on his feet like fuel like blood like mold It was dripping on his feet faking what we need |
