rabbit and malone 
were drunk in a boat 
with eyes made of coals 
and madelaine 
she sang like a stone 
'i'd rather stay here at home' 

driving in the sea 
that brings you close to me 
i'll hold your head down to a shell 
where everything is small 

alice called 
with her filthy rainbows 
but she won't say what she knows 
for you i'm falling alive 
but i won't break my bones 
heaven's head is hollow 
her hair all drunk with sorrows 
she holds her head down in a bowl 
of crawling stars 

all i knew 
was the guns far below 
and the sun shining in 
and i never believed anything 
though the night was filled with eyes 

dancing in the ruin 
sometimes you're almost human 
please hold my head down to the stones 
till i am small
