| Dripping |
| Statues of the beautiful Age shall not wither them Photos frame milliseconds So the years can't condemn But lamentably We'll grow old And inexorably We'll grow cold In my dream of Dorian Gray I staple blossom onto trees Carve my image hewn in rock And drink from virgin arteries Born a perfect specimen Purity is only loaned Curse chromosomes as slowly flesh Learns to drip from bone And lamentably We'll grow old And inexorably We'll grow cold In my dream of Dorian Gray I staple blossom onto trees Carve my image hewn in rock And drink from virgin arteries Glowing youth to dulled age And liver-spotted atrophy Degraded and decrepit Salad days grind to senility And lamentably We'll grow old And inexorably We'll grow cold In my dream of Dorian Gray I staple blossom onto trees Carve my image hewn in rock And drink from virgin arteries In my dream of Dorian Gray I staple blossom onto trees Carve my image hewn in rock And drink from virgin arteries |
