Spill and heat consume both of the lights
They were flashing white and ecru pale
Sickly and ungracious, you turn to dirt
But those cruel tricks could not avoid
We were sneaking in to the aquarium
Gold leaf in your feet you left a trail
This compared to being would be a mistake
Watered down and replaced without a tell
But those cruel tricks could not avoid
You're not lying next to me
just below your swaying palms
