Lyrics
if there is a heaven, it's this folded silver box. many friends are with me and we are each alone. you are looking younger everyday, by the day, time is a paperweight. heaven is an aisle away. are you downstairs fading in the waning afternoon. are you wont to follow darkly the click of the ticking news. there was a link to the forest that burned like eleven suns. the stars have folded over only old waves reach them now. waters of the old world boiling. the seas recede again. through the cracking screen, the new machines will drink of them. hear the new word breaking through the fog of the modern world. when you cross the threshold, prop the door with an orange peel. unplug the lamp in the evening. clear the fog with your leftmost hand. hang old words on the line to dry. freighted with the ancient questions. do wash your lips of them. we will break down every wall and be back again to rebuild and mend.
