Beeswax Honey

Bedroom wall blocks my way
Pictures not square on the floor
Clothes hung up behind the door
Mice crawl through the rubble
Peacocks flounder and stumble

Life's never the same two days in a row
Life's never the same two days in a row

Shoes in a pile on the ceiling
Huge piles of dung steaming
We live this way happily
Watches worn on over-sized wrists
Flashing lights blinding me

Life's never the same two days in a row
Life's never the same two days in a row

Banana skins rot in books
Drawers overflow with music
Babies climb across the wall
Signatures scrawled tidily
Chunks of plaster begin to fall

Life's never the same two days in a row
Life's never the same two days in a row
Beeswax honey spreads
Death and desire spreads
Curtains close
on the only night we know
Life's never the same
Two days in a row
