things that i looked forward to
all came and went and left the world unmoved,
so what do i do?
and nothing i remember
was as good as i remember it to be;
how can that be?
and so i will burden you
with a hundred burning desires
and stare down a crucifix,
and throw myself on the fire,
on the fire.
and i know that you're coming back
like a lightning bolt down the wire
and i hope there'll be something left of me
if you throw me on the fire,
on the fire,
on the fire,
on the fire.
