Boy With the Aluminum Stilts

Come come
Mine aluminum stilts
Strangle the light like that
Spin spittle in siren wine

Come
In sweet lamentations
Birds of the night cry out
And swoon like the blood won't dry

Hung in drapes of palest lace
From the stakes of brittle grace
It's away, my love

Come come
Mine aluminum stilts
Mangled your white face cracks
Out quivers the smiling sire

Come
Soft on this tender breast
Love like a light gone out
Can cripple a siren's cries

Hung in drapes of palest lace
From the stakes of brittle grace
It's away, my love

This is the end you're searching for
This is it, this is all
This is the dream where you hit the floor
