Lie In the Gutter

Lie in the gutter, stare at the stars

Garlic and butter, Venus and Mars

This moment is fleeting, your body is leaving

Just kiss me right here as I am

The world is defeating, but I'm busy reading

The patterns, the constellation

Mind in the gutter, dreams down the drain

Clean up the clutter before it rains

You're taking a beating, you're desperately needing

A moment of cosmic relief

All we discover, look out there with me

Lie in the gutter, stare at the stars

Millions of light years, all of them ours

A fountain of wisdom, a kink in the system

Essential to all our belief

Lie in the gutter, and stare up there with me
