Noah And His Team

I tried to sweep the floors
Before Noah and his team came through
Pointless! of course
The floor was made from dirt- Noah pointed this out to me
I tried buying a brand new double breasted jacket
Just something I could wear while the red sun would set
So often there is silence
But life has a soundtrack in a brand new double breasted jacket
You can make love while smoking cigarettes
But I can do it while drinking Champagne, reading Lorca and licking envelopes
So often the envelope is returned
Without the love re-inserted of course

If the moon is full and you can hear the moan whatchoo gonna do?
Turn left?
Turn Right?
Knock on the door and smell the mildew behind the wallpaper?
When the moon is full and you can hear the moan whatchoo gonna do?
Knock Once
Knock Twice
Unlock the door and smell the smoke behind the fire

Ah! To be in this much deep thought, you have to be sensitive
To be this sensitive is to forgive nobody
Up comes the sun and down comes the blasphemies
You see Noah and his team outside the cafe, dividing up a newspaper
The wind sweeps it from the hands
We are old but pleasure still makes its way to our smiles
Can you imagine life without our slow walks?
And toppling clouds being raped by horizons
And stories of men kissing the cheeks of one another's desire
Accordions are sold on the street along with whispers
Along with cough medicine and sneaky medicine that makes you cough

You can live forever...

If the moon is full and you can hear the moan whatchoo gonna do?
Turn Left
Turn Right
Dance through the door and feel the eyes of the crowd upon your glow?
When the moon is full and you can hear the moan whatchoo gonna do?
Laugh once
Laugh twice
Light a cigarette and blow the smoke behind the fire

One little, unimportant note at a time
Each finding their way across one songs moment
And I hear the voice of a man singing me words
Minuscule and painted white, I catch them as they fall
I Rub them against my cheeks- these are the new tears
The Holy tears, Musical Tears, light, beautiful and moving
As God's noise fades to silence I let the rise once more
And drift back to the never ending oblivion from whence they came

When the moon is large and you hear the moan, whatchoo gonna do?
Don't turn left
Don't turn right
Stand straight look ahead and feel the glow of the crowd
When the moon is large and you hear the moan whatchoo gonna do?
Walk away from Noah and his team
Walk Straight
And live Forever
