Yesterday, I was working in my yard I saw a possum Swinging in the and he was all beat up and hobbling I got a look and his foot was mangled I was woken up earlier by I thought was the cat tangled But it was him who got it bad from the cat that Slowly down the hill when he slipped the fence I myself up to check him out; he found a nook under the air conditioner I pointed him out to Caroline, she crouched down and he was and full of fear And when she up, I asked, "Baby, why you crying?" She said, "Because cute and he's down there and he's dying"
I went up to my room and I got a from Justin He was in San Francisco and Godflesh was Caroline me halfway there where I met Tony And we drove to the city and we parked out in of the DNA Justin and us, we had some laughs and we photographs backstage And our guts were protruding and all of them and we kept laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing Laughing and laughing and laughing and and laughing and laughing and laughing Laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing
And when Godflesh took the stage, and I, we stood there floored Drum machines hammered and feedback For a moment, everybody grew While Justin tuned his guitar; a church, it got so quiet Just for a minute, and then all soared together Like a car off a cliff, we crashed and burned and over and again and again They threw hard guttural B-flats [?] a tough Roberto "Hands of Stone" Durán in the seventh round Davey Moore 16, 1983 Godflesh [?] like an Mark "Gator" Rogowski Justin lunged at the mic a hungry grey white He was on fire, it everything he had and killing it that night! Tearing out his and it came to a screeching halt A relentless and beautiful voice, a 70 assault And then he bowed and he set his seven string electric guitar down And screeched to holy hell and they and off went the crowd
Then we had pizza and I came to my apartment in the city Until 4AM, I watched and my ears were ringing And I Caroline out at the house We about the concert, about the possum down in the nook
And the ocean air through my window And the sound of foghorns, and when I woke was down in LA Tony had an house that day And I out at Sausalito And Caroline was on her way from Lake Tahoe I got a from Paolo Sorrentino I'd be off to Switzerland in a or so
Caroline came home that night and we had and watched HBO And I'm grateful for her love and for my And to have seen the possum walk its last along the island
I want to old and to walk my last walk Knowing that I, too, it everything I got But again it's all roadblocks and all I fought For to live another day is much than to not And I'd like to die music in my ears The piano of Maurice or Godflesh's guttural growls from hell The sound that good memories of being young and able to get around And I'd like Caroline me
That old possum lost the His sad, black eyes; what a thing to see on a Easter Sunday But that was loved and he's still thought of bells rang that day I hearing them in the afternoon just as we left He had to have heard too
