Greek Fire - Itoldyouiwouldeatyou

Whatever it was that gave me strength that evening

To keep you laughing and keep me feeling safe

That skipped me home with Paul’s disarming honesty

And made you love me even if you were high

Was an anomaly

Greek fire

A momentary storm of light

No one called the cavalry

None arrived

You went inside

Your soft girl arranged riverwise

Touching herself in my bed

I can’t complain

Run don’t hide

It’s better to look than to find

Was an anomaly

Greek fire

A momentary storm of light

No one called the cavalry

None arrived

You went inside

Well I’m a fifth columnist

I’m a liar

I bet I get worse every time

I was a great novelist

But I died

In '95

A big light

A bush fire

Words come out

Of the sky

You don’t say

I don’t ask

I begin

A great fast

(Listen to me. If you listen carefully you can almost hear me typing.

Lovers arranged Christlike and crumbling.

Listen to me.

Leave it alone,

your lovers are arranged Christwise and crumbling)

Listen to me

I’m no boy
