Speed Song

from "Dzeja for Leela" by SLSFTI

lyrics

When you’ve become the ice cream,
In that interlocking of foreign horns,
Well, not foreign,
But ones you’ve lost the charms to get close to,
That’s when you know you’re sleeping too much,
You can taste her tongue, and be the tongue,
Not letting you in at the exact same time.

I can feel my forearms rippling now,
Weird waves of water that go nowhere and continue,
Two little blue pills,
And I’m a shuttle being pulled forward and down,
I can’t shut up…
I ditched eloquence for a cigarette.

We all make mistakes and hide them in leaves,
Jagged Canadian maple leaf piles,
Damp and sad with the shit that they hold for you,
And you, clumsy as the day your motor skills awoke,
Scuttle through the week,
Praying for the heaviest, torrential rain,
So you can pack it in,
That didn’t make sense to you, I can see,
But listen,
This is a speed song.
