Dreams of a Kitten

Page 350

And they keep feeding the fire

That keeps driving me higher

Through the eye of the needle

Watch the shadows circle

Watch them circle ‘round the ceiling

Waiting for conclusion’s sake

Without a trace of feeling

Waiting for the sun to set

And tumble into China

I got to break loose

Long years wasted

In closets and corners

Looking for a future to wear

Been through hell

Looking so hard for heaven

Who knows what

I’ll find if it’s there

And I know I should quit

But I still try to fit

Through the eye of the needle

Kiss of the twilight

I have felt it, baby

Taking the last light

And to melt it, baby

Somebody is talking to me

Through the eye of the needle

Sharp edged summertime

Sits on my shoulder

Cutting deeply into my skin

I’ve been ending for so long

I can’t remember what it’s like to begin

I’ve been wasting my time

I’ve been trying to climb

Through the eye of the needle.

Improvised chants

Tending toward a scream
