Tom Verlaine - PenetrationLyrics

All afternoon gazing at the moon Well, I'm forgetting things before I think them The stars are out; they're writing on my brow Your names, your qualities - I could drink them Deep, deep pulsation Deep, deep penetration You say, "okay, please, get me what I need." Well, I'm sorry; I can't find it; please, don't hate me You glow in the dark, whispering in sparks You say "I'm dripping wet..." You build a ladder and you lay it on the ground Then you move away, you move away, you move away Without a sound
