lyrics

Lady Tulip lies
pallid on the ground
in her state of mind
no thoughts will get her down
laying under the snow
she’s a flower wanting to bloom
the tips of her breasts
they are missing
her fingers are purple and blue

there are signs of a struggle
a stone lodged in the seat of her dreams
golden hair on the wind
a veil hung on thistles and screams

in the riot of color
her brain it is liquid
her lips have drawn back
swollen the bride is distended
her skin is shiny and black

pink panties are rolled down
ankles tightly bound
on a yellow lawn
next spring she’ll be found

Desolation’s Child
where foliates grow wild
all traces of intrusion
vanish with her smile

bees and butterflies play
at the holes in her moon-face
the grass shall pierce
the pellucid webs of her fingers
make her hands into lace
...such delicate lace
