Riddles

Candles and ultralights Whisper to my tape cassette I sit underground I snuck off to the mall Stole a coin or two I s'pose From Goddess of plasticine Crossing the fields at night Broke into the country club I float under mercury Fell in some holy water Its silence muted light All they got's lukewarm Sprite Riddles do me little favor The Earth has turned Her crystal eyes on me Whittled to a child cradled Sleep until I slip away Black nails ate up the sky Salvation Army crow Smoke Camels in your mother's car Red flags are all I see Don't know black or white Just speed ahead Riddles do me little favor The Earth has turned Her crystal eyes on me Whittled to a child cradled Sleep until I slip away Riddles do me little favor The Earth has turned Her crystal eyes on me Whittled to a child cradled Sleep until I slip away Slip away Slip away Slip away Riddles do me little favor The Earth has turned Her crystal eyes on me Whittled to a child cradled Sleep until I slip away
