Just Like The Floor

Jandek


Snowing Russian obelisks
Horses wild in the meadows 
Just try and tame the wolves and bears 
Walk alone, you fickle fool 
It thought you loved me 
Only goes to show 
Weakness makes me sick 
But I love it 
Regal rooms in the creamy plat 
Crusty, busting holes agape 
Animals, yeah 
Sense some teeth 
Walking to touch you skin 
With the love of necessary death 
Thankful for your soul 
Seething and fog like 
Like in the dust 
Loud music and the black night 
Stars in the frozen hanging wall 
Just like the floor, only harder to feel 
But now, in the ghostly marble 
Flecked in color streams 
Grand in the scale untold 
Where? Why? Who? When? 
Call and the shadows sway 
Beckon you to the times 
But going in the wistful move 
In plaintive wiry steps 
Back and forth so sly 
Sleuth on tricks 
For the tormented toys
