hi

tie your tourniquet and pray
for a sympathetic token embrace.
you try to sew it up that way
it's a bandage and a blade

rosemary will you come
where we've gone
when the afternoon circles the sun
and we're done
you've diluted the solution.

behold the rosary of runaway days
hung from the railing
of your downward
spiral staircase

rosemary can you see
how it feeds
on the chain of our rosary beads
and the speed
it's our sole infactuation

don't worry, threaten me
everything is it's own enemy
you can't hurry thru struggling
struggle is its own amphetamine
listen to me

rosemary rosary amphetamine

tie your tourniquet and pray
for a sympathetic token embrace
laugh and throw it all away
it's a bandage and a blade
smile, and tie your tourniquet
and lie to your rosary, rosemary

it's afternoon, and i'm alone
and you don't ever telephone
you've won, but
do you ever wonder?

rosemary will you come
or are you numb?
try and duck the fucking pendulum
'cos it's swung like a wrecking ball again
you're a silhouette in front of the sun
and your shadow's on my hands
i used to love someone
where's she gone?
where's she hidden my horizon?
