Acid Bird

<br>Sucking on a tap that never dries,<br>could you take it right between your eyes?<br>Bending blood, bending blood,<br>the father stood, the fathers hood.<br>Like shadows of an acid bird,<br>that etched her way across the field,<br>so long ago.<br>Walking through the field in the summer weeks,<br>look at all the creatures round your feet.<br>Pumping blood, pumping blood,<br>the mother gave, the mother saves,<br>White ointment of an acid kiss,<br>that burned upon the lips she gave you,<br>so long ago, so long ago.<br>Fun in the sun, locked in the blood stream,<br>shallow bodies writhing on the grass.<br>Fun in the sun, hair in the slip stream,<br>tadpoles shooting through a hollow glass.<br>Cutting out a silhoutte between,<br>everything is older than it seems,<br>son of blood, son of blood,<br>the baby shakes, the baby snakes,<br>who crawled across the acid ring<br>and flicker from your corpuscles,<br>one sunny day, one sunny day,<br>Fun in the sun, everyone knows it,<br>we could be as mellow as the hay.<br>Fun in the sun, everyone blows it,<br>they grow up and instantly decay.<br>Like shadows of an acid bird<br>that etched her way across the field<br>so long ago.
