Gasp--lapse
Couldn't be
I mean
Cracked-head-Alice lies under the ladder
Radio-Alice has cut and skipped off.
I mean
Striking bitter fits. Fits! I said Fits! said Fitz.
Store up stutter, mutter in the dark.
Gasp--lapse
Couldn't be
I mean
Stitched up sick-Alice walking with Ellen.
High hoop steps and puddle stretched rings.
Paul and Fitz in ribbons again. Sevrin's in the corner with the Greek and a grin. Gasp--lapse
Couldn't be
I mean
I don't know yet, and yet I know
bodies best pressed.
Bodies best pressed? So hug me and hold me and tell me that you won't let go!
So hug me and hold me and tell me you won't let go.
Gasp, I mean, lapse, I mean gasp--lapse
Couldn't be
I mean
Flip switch. Mutter in the dark.
Shuddering one stroke. Mutter in the dark.
Footsteps. The path below. High hoop steps.
Puddle stretched rings. Mutter in the dark. Mumble in the dark. Muddle in the dark.
Well, I don't know
If you don't know
Well, I don't know.
You don't know?
No. I don't know.
And yet I know, if you don't know
well
I don't know!
If
you... don't know
Well, I don't know.
