“If I could just go back and make the damn thing myself, then obviously I would. To be honest this whole thing has been an absolute nightmare and I'd rather not talk about it at all.”
You were talking about snakes…
I really like this kinda snake
But not that kinda snake.
Showing him a video, it was a white snake
With a small head in your head.
As long as you get them out a lot they’re OK.
I can barely understand
Barely hear your words.
It’s alright then? When they’re out?
Pictures of snakes on your phone
Pictures of white snakes on your device
Thumbing through numbers in your palm.
It’s that kinda snake!!
OH! You’re talking are you?
It’s very cool;
Snakes, tarantulas and rats.
I wouldn’t expect you to know that.
Matter of fact did I tell you?
When I was at college they thought I was far out.
Shows where you can hold snakes
Shows where you can hold dragons
Shows where you can hold tarantula
Shows where you can hold rats
What’s the biggest fear
Being at home? What the fucks that,
The small ones dead.
Get rid of it.
The glass technique with the paper underneath.
THROW YOUR HEAD BACK!
Nervous tick.
Nervous tick.
How you gonna tell me this is it?
How you gonna tell me to believe in this?
The brutal inevitability, it’s got to be a front
You putting on a front man?
That’s a dangerous business don’t you think?
Looking at your face it’s a picture
A painting with no vista
Hashed lines, sgraffito in your impasto
You’re full of shit.
This can’t be it, I’m not feeling it,
No realness, just empty promises, a con artist.
Shiny green leaves and spiky bulbs
A desk phone with an indecipherable menu
Blue LED screen and different dial tones
A rock with a receipt trying to spend foreign coin
You’ve got no currency here man.
Bottle caps and Irish pennies
Cork drivers and stationary organisers
Hanging together on street corners
Elastic words that bind your lines
There’s no truth behind those eyes.
It’s inevitable and I can’t handle it.
