Star Crossed Dreams

from Operation Complete by Hello Whirled

/

lyrics

running up strings in electric cars
parked in the neutron
sliding down into the lake
they wanted us to dream in
and we will

stars collect, interconnect
make like lovers sharing a room for the first time
not thinking much about the future
but knowing it’s there
no time to play it safe, no time to care

and the sweat drips off the screams
happily star crossed, dreams swirl around
in figure 8s
but they’re all 6s and 9s tonight

grooving up
they’re growing up
into buds not unlike flowers

the sheets stained
the arms reach strained
they dug too hard
turned gold into rain
couldn’t quit it
couldn’t brake

their god will not protect them from the golden rain
and the child born upon them will bear his face and name
if you must put him down
don’t fret, don’t sit around
spite his name

one day when he’s 6 or 7
he’ll reappear in his life
whatever path he fucked his way through cut him off
and he’s looking for a new wife
may as well find the one who bore his seed
surely it’s more than a want, more than a need
surely she’ll kindly agree

“what do you mean, no?”
