Grape wine in a Mason jar
homemade and brought to school
by a friend of mine after class
Me and him and this other fool decide that we’ll drink up what’s left
Chug-a-lug, so we helped ourselves
First time for everything, brrrr, my ears still ring
I don’t need no arms around me
And I don’t need no drugs to calm me
I have seen the writing on the wall
Don’t think I need anything at all
No, I don’t think I need anything at all
Remember when you were young
You shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
Now there’s a look in your eyes
Like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught in the cross-fire of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target for far away laughter
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr and shine
Whereupon I proceeded to take that mittenful of the deadly yellow snow crystals and rub it all into his beady little eyes with a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mudshark in your mythology
Through the fish-eyed lens of tear-stained eyes
I can barely define the shape of this moment in time
And far from flying high in clear blue skies
I’m spiraling down to the hole in the ground where I hide
The moon beams through the prune In June
Reveals your chest I see your lovely beans
And in that magic go-kart I bite your neck
The cheese I have for you, my dear
Is real and very new
When you tried to kiss me
I only bit your tongue
When you tried to get me together
I only came undone
When you tried to tell me the one for me was you
I was in your mattress, back in 1982
