Minotaur





Sitting on a boat decrepit, gently rolling with the waves
From tankers and grey ships, they’re miles away
Watching fog come rolling over up-thrust bits of inner earth
Juniper and ancient live-oak trees
Seagulls swoop for bits of flotsam, drifting on receding tides









I am only miles, but lives away
Miles away and lives away, can’t you hear me, Adriadne?
Bring to me your golden string







Driving down a burning highway, underworlds and gold, dead grasses
Vineyards laid in opulence and curves
Vineyards laid with labyrinths, there stalks the Minotaur
Come to take our youth with age and time






I grow old and bitter gray and all I know, it slips away
Except the memory I have of you
True love is our only shield; true love is our only shield
And true love is our sword

Low







Sometimes I wanna take you down.
Sometime I wanna get you low.
Sometimes I go and walk the street 
Behind the green sheet of glass.
A million miles below their feet
A million miles







The fruit is rusting on the vine
The fruit is calling from the trees
Hey don't you wanna go down
Like some junkie cosmonaut
A million miles below their feet
A million miles 








Blue blue is the sun. 
Brown brown is the sky.
Green green are her eyes.
A million miles
