Niagara - Goodbye Mr MacKenzie

Across the falls I look for reason

Across her eyes I look for something

The river curve around her body

Her ruby mouth kisses me softly

And she knows that I am dying

And she knows what she is doing

She whispers in my ear

«You're getting weaker; dear.'

In dreams I’m pulling harder

I push my body from her

I’m in some small canoe

It"s impossible to do

Niagara waits at the waterfall

Niagara plans my downfall

She sells her soul to him

In her hand a crystal decanter

She is pouring potent water

There she moves, chiffon and feather

Lace and l*** hang around her

The b***** rose’s petals

Are growing dark and darker

She gives herself to me

In mute complicity

And I cannot possess her

I know their jaws will rip her

Their fishy eyes won’t blink

Animals don’t think

Mother won’t you give me a colour for my face

And a gender for presenting to my relatives?

Give my heart a steadiness to keep my fingers calm

There’s only one way out of this. There’s only one way

Hate

The wire
