The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out to Get Us!

Thinking outrageously, I write in cursive, I Hide in my bed with the lights on the floor Wearing three layers of coats and leg warmers, I See my own breath on the face of the door Oh, I am not quite sleeping Oh, I am fast in bed There on the wall in the bedroom creeping I see a wasp with her wings outstretched North of Savanna, we swim in the palisades I come out wearing my brother's red hat There on his shoulder, my best friend is bit seven times He runs washing his face in his hands Oh, how I meant to tease him Oh, how I meant no harm Touching his back with my hand, I kiss him I see the wasp on the length of my arm (Oh, great sights upon this state, hallelu-) (Wonders bright, and rivers, lake, hallelu-) (Trail of Tears and Horseshoe Lake, hallelu-) we were in love, we were in love, palisades, palisades, I can wait, I can wait (Trusting things beyond mistake, hallelu-) we were in love, we were in love, palisades, palisades, I can wait, I can wait We were in love, we were in love Palisades, palisades, I can wait, I can wait We were in love, we were in love (Lamb of God, we) Palisades, palisades, I can wait, I can wait (sound the horn, hallelujah) We were in love, we were in love (to us, your) Palisades, palisades, I can wait, I can wait (ghost is born, hallelu-) I can't explain the state that I'm in The state of my heart, he was my best friend Into the car, from the backseat Oh, admiration in falling asleep All of my powers, day after day I can tell you we swaggered and swayed Deep in the tower, the prairies below I can tell you the telling gets old (Oh, great sights upon) terrible sting and terrible storm (This state, hallelu-) I can tell you the day we were born (Wonders bright, and) my friend is gone, he ran away (Rivers, lake, hallelu-) I can tell you I love him each day (Trail of Tears and) though we have sparred, wrestled and raged (Horseshoe Lake, hallelu-) I can tell you I love him each day (Trusting things beyond) terrible sting and terrible storms (we were in love, we were in love) (Mistake, hallelu-) I can tell you (palisades, palisades, I can wait, I can wait)
