Basically I don’t remember
Staring at the switchboard in the house
Trying to change the temperature
And since I only have a cold
I should call my dad and go to bed
“Don’t you die before you’re dead.”
I’d know by now
If I leave this house, I’d leave my car
Trailing both my hands
‘Cos I’m gaunt and cast
With my jawline melting
I’m a new Pierrot
Swaying on my ladder
And it’s lucid these stories
They’re stories – no endings
All at once I am suspending
Belly-lift my standing hands and cool
The fiery eyes that line a cirque
The sultan sings in pink to tame the busters
The ballerina clips below
Naked in a haze of stamping dust
Glory be the whole damn thing
I’d know by now
If I leave this house, I’d leave my car
Trailing both my hands
‘Cos I’m gaunt and cast
With my jawline melting
I’m a new Pierrot
Saying “I’m not gonna…”
And it’s lucid these stories
They’re stories – no endings
“Sally come home and remember”
They just say
“Sally warm up it’s much better”
And say
“Sally come home to redeem us –
Ballet dancers don’t live in trailers”
And say..
“Sally come home to remember”
They just say
“Sally come home it’s much better”
And say
