accompanied by fools
he said “i’m looking for a girl out of santa clementine
hair cut like an elf boy, with heightened self-esteem
she been comin’ in this joint, ever since she first got clean
must be twenty years”.
he said “i never met nobedy here, who more deserved a bullet
if my finger’d hold a trigger i’d more than likely pull it
but i only had my blade
so i pressed it to his neck
just to smell the fear”
he had an open-collared, red-faced, thick-necked kind of love
he used to make a living, fixing falcon custom hoods
like the lord of misrule
she turned him upside down
on st mark’s eve
she waited with intent
to finally bring to rapture the cursed in her lament
with this savage rock ’n’ roll band hitting four four on the floor
on the darker side of town
oh the churchyard toll it was stil the work of winds
down amongst the sinners, down amongst the sins
seventeen tin soldiers who would fall this coming spring
oh acoustic levitations
parading in the silence of their wanton widow’s weeds
clothe them in the glory of their shining silver deeds
the fading garb of all those who were falling on the wing
all those roadside stops, and stations
against the wall,beneath the tree
behind the door,beyond the free
this fine, phantasmic symmetry
of all their vicious lies and rules
as the silk begins to fade
the ‘hand me downs’, this pale parade
she holds court by that steel framed door
accompanied by fools
she holds court by that steel framed door
accompanied by fools
by that steel-framed door
accompanied by fools
