V IN THE CELLAR Trying to think in curves, not getting wet Without a coat of any sort For the musing, How I liked the sound of it The end of the month Just the stairs down to the park, More ill in the soul Drinking and smoking I had to sleep to see the gold What boredom rising to tell some girl It happens, the ladies’ men rest If you’ll let me love this world, the two floors While still in the line Seen there through the crowd
We’re right when hesitating Now over a year ago In the early morning I was told I blew it, hurrying (From the dead ends of my life) In the dead ends of my life
And even the bliss of touch Merely a wish, merely a wish
I needed it more than ever before (But I couldn’t leave) In that other park we stood on the grass
I’ll sit here quietly and melt into this terrible noise (Even though they're closing) Sleep it off, Cypress
