Why did you rise in the twilight?
I don’t know
Why did you say you were trying?
I don’t know
Who gave you rat poison?
No one
Why did you die?
I just did.
Did you kiss her?
No.. yes
Are you old?
No.. yes
What’s that banging?
Dinner
Why did you hit me?
I’m sorry
I liked the carnations
I’m glad
Was it you who pressed them?
Yeah
Whose are those rags?
The Chinaman’s
Have you been smoking?
A little
Who were your heroes?
Dead ones
Were there wars?
Always
You a cynical drunk?
Only sober
Close the door?
(Chorus)
She swayed back on the stilts of her heels
The sun, she blinks, watching the flies
Spent all her birthdays down at the track
The freckles of children scattered her back
Who broke the window?
Its French
Are there trumpets in the gallows?
Yeah
You delight me
Yes
You’re perfect
Thank you
Were the olives canned?
Yeah
Did I dream this?
Hope so
Do I have blood?
Warm
Can I sleep here?
Yes
Can we live in sunlight?
Please
Will it be Autumn?
Sometimes
Can I have a towel?
Here
Do swans die?
No
Do you feel guilty?
No..yes
Did he suicide?
Hmm?
Where was the needle?
In his eye
Where did he die?
In that chair
(Chorus)
She swayed back on the stilts of her heels
The sun, she blinks, watching the flies
Spent all her birthdays down at the track
The freckles of children scattered her back
Did you know I rode horses?
No
Can I show you?
Get on
I’ve had lots of divorces
Yes
Most of them up in my mind
Of course
Are those your real teeth?
Yes
Can I play your piano?
Yes
You can have all the pillows
Yes
You can choke me with silk
Sure
(Chorus)
She swayed back on the stilts of her heels
The sun, she blinks, watching the flies
Spent all her birthdays down at the track
The freckles of children scattered her back
