I’m lying down
By the end of the world
A street lamp and a blue still sky
And you tell me the world is on fire
The street lamp
Fire bugs are drawn to it
Tie them together with your words
To make a hula-hoop of light
A shape to encircle my restlessness
And throw it around my waist
To catch me
And hold me there
Playing in it naked
Till the day after tomorrow
Can I be drawn to your light
Till the day after tomorrow?
The blue still sky
Scare away,
The way you do it now
The fear of stillness
And lie with me here
By the end of the world
Till the day after tomorrow
Letting the blue
Create new memory
The world on fire
Keep us damp,
The way you do it now
With wet kisses
And let me use the embers of the world
To set your imagination on fire
Till the day after tomorrow
And when the dream you talk about
Is about to end
Hold on tight
And roll us over
Down the end of the world
So that tomorrow never ends
