All the roads are one road: you know how I feel
It's like time's wounded heel in a barefoot shoe
Treading golden splinters into the floor of Bellevue
And I have committed no crime
I couldn't banish the clocks, couldn't shut out the tick-tocks
Couldn't stop up my ears to the chime
All the kids are trembling (before the Bastille)
You see revolution: I just see spinning
You want a happy ending but all I got's beginnings
And I want no part of your fight
I couldn't banish my love to those dominions above
Where the key goes aloft with the kite
I don't care if the Angelus never rings
I don't care if the fat lady never sings at all
I don't care if the current is strong
And the eddies, they drag me below
I won't tell the river to stop its flow
All the gods are one god (he just gets around)
Like the whole damn world in a half arsed gesture
Like the taste in my mouth
When I remember how I kissed ya
Last night when I was young
Before you banished my soul to that opposite pole
Where the moon burns its feet on the sun
I don't care if I spent too long at the fair
I don't care if I never really belonged there
I don't care if the money was spent
Where it never was meant to go
I won't tell the river to stop its flow
All the seas are one sea (the beach it is blessed)
It's like Chinese whispers
Mixed with Russian vespers
In the crash of the wave on my breast
And it happens all night
Till the sheets are soaking wet
Perhaps if I'd rowed on the moon's silver road
I'd have never got caught in the net
I don't care if we fuck and never cum
I don't care if we can't finish what we've begun
I don't care if I piss off my muses
And the last line refuses to show
I won't tell the river to stop its flow
