A Fine Romance

torn paper, damp & grey
all stormy in the underworld i think of every night
wishing washes washed up waffle
kissing in the catacombs
symphony in blue
symphony in blue
this mask i wear is ever true
& slipshod shafted after all
all in all in all in all
romance for the little fool
wrote a letter
never sent it
never stamped his heart of his sleeve
ever lost in barcelona
ever lost in flowers & frigid
across the seas
across the seas
kissing in the catacombs
torn up by tornado
day in, day out
a cartoon coughed up cry of despair
it’s so unfair
symphony in blue
symphony in blue
salamander casts a look at stormy stormy seas
go to sleep on waves of chilled asunder
broke up a cracked out smackdown pillow
underneath the eiderdown
across the seas
across the seas
all snowy torn apart torn paper
drowning down the catacombs
lost within, lost without
little fool picks out a pocket
pestilence of pepper
running hot & cold & whistling dixie
again at midnight
wrote a note
never dreamt it
never forever
never again & again & again
all chatterboxed in to have & to hold
it’s so unfair
symphony in blue
flower & drum
this mouth i wear is ever dumb
drifting in the catacombs
with nothing left but
letters
