the last troubador

The lift and spin
- a queasy time of you.
All the nightmare fun
when you were near

I've always walked wires
but this slip from the rope
you'd better tie tighter
sloppy slanderer
I thought you were holding the other side

but it had to burn
so you turned
like my head in a basket

abra cadaver
and my legs manifest!
you were living between
was my head yet detached?

now it's back
and you're not
a bad week or ten days
so I go to auction.

you're the siamese twins
first eng and then chang
kick you both in the teeth
I'm harnessed in my soaring swing

oh just keep singing.
