Pictures Of a City

Concrete cold, face cased in steel
Stark, sharp, glass-eyed crack and peel
Bright light, scream beam, brake and squeal
Red white, green white, neon wheel

Dream, flesh, love chase perfumed skin
Greased hand teeth hide tinseled sin
Spice ice dance chance sickly grin
Pasteboard time slot sweat and spin

Blind, stick, blind drunk cannot see
Mouth dry, tongue tied cannot speak
Concrete dream flesh broken shell
Lost soul, lost trace, lost in hell
