Still life


By jim carroll and lenny kaye

I dont believe in sin
But maybe Ill begin
A vagrant evils climbing up my skin
The shadows from last week
Are dancing in the street
In homage to the darkness closing in

Its hard to say whats different each new morning
I need some clue to tell me when or where

But it seems I must believe
Night wears it on its sleeve
A warning that the times come to prepare . . .

I owe so much to someone
Ive watched her teardrops fall
Like wings that melted reaching for the sun

I need her to be near
To clarify the dangers
I didnt come this far to die with strangers

I cant explain exactly what Im saying
But youre the only reason I still care

But things become so clear
When the spider licks her tears
A warning that the times come to prepare . . .

I beg you not to leave me
With these warnings in the air . . .
I never thought Id say it
But for once Im truly scared

We create every lie
In order to survive
To mirror all the terror in our souls

With nothing left to steal
Lies make our lives seem real
It slows down all the madness like a shield

I dont know why I need to understand it
I dont know if theres anyone who cares

I dont know how or why
It could be something in the sky
That makes it seem its best to be prepared . . .

I dont know where it will be
Two by land . . . one by sea
Sleep with one eye open
Be prepared

The spectres ride the stallions of my ruin
The shifting of my blood tell me its soon . . .

I dont know how
Or why . . . it could be
Something in the sky
That makes it seem the time says to beware

Little boy,
Looking at the sky,
Tell me what you see?

Little boy
Looking at the sky,
Tell me what you see? ? ?

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
