(Engel)
2
I spent many a night laying on my back
3
Waiting for the dawn to pierce a crack in the ceiling
4
Hanging from the sky
5
And I envied the boy who grabbed the toy
6
And ran away and found the joy
7
While I stood in the shadows wondering why
8
Flying towards me, wrapped in laughter
9
A woman's face, a terrible taste
10
Of the morning after kisses and goodbyes
11
I can never seem to catch my footsteps
12
Have desires they fly away
13
And every day I've got to fight the Plague
14
How can I live an hour like this
15
When anguish strikes me like a fist
16
My nakedness exposed, and I can't stand
17
Still I try to remember lips on lips
18
And hits on the hips, and ice and fire
19
and gloom and glow
20
When did they leave the man
21
In the river of the night I see
22
A face that shimmers down at me
23
But like a falling star burns itself out
24
Like a lead leaf scrapes the gravelled ground
25
My voice cries out, a gravelled sound
26
But no-one's there to hear me but the Plague
27
Straining hard to see
28
Running after me
29
I keep pounding
30
Pounding on the door
31
But it's all so vague
32
When you meet the Plague
33
And I keep coming, I keep coming back for more
