the mardi gras set

we've had it with the topside
goin under below
goin down with the crabs and the fishes
gonna build ourselves a happy home



don't bother come a knockin
don't ya call us on the phone
goin down where the future can't get us
and we gotta go it
gotta go it alone

where i waved at the sky

and waited your love through a february sleep,
i saw birds swinging in, watched them multiply
into a tree, weaving on a branch, cradling a keep


like beauty spots marking a still perfect cheek.
i see them bend the air, slipping away, for what birds seek.
