When I was a child I made a crown
Of silver paper and sticky tape

When I was a child I made a crown
Of silver paper and sticky tape
Behind the dirt sprawled before us
Behind narrow eyes and faces of fat
Mine head upon thy lap, love, let me lie
I am wounded, and without thee I shall die
This is my destiny
For one brief moment
Opium and a Chinese lantern
The light like a goldfish
When you were afraid i was there by your side
When you were alone i was your place to hide
You’re, you’re, you’re mine
You’re mine, mine
He’s a blonde in his teens
A boy Caesar whose toys
Ah, love, I dreamed of thee last night
Of strange lips kissing me
He’ll put on red lipstick
No matter the neighbours
