your face your face

your amazing grace

under fire

to the barricades

leaving accolades

in a pile of requited desire

your face your face

between ire

and sweet candidates

for songs and knowing

how awful we allow this

world to be

your face your face

on those dawn morning raids

when you give me the time

when you give me the space

to fan unseen fire

simmer catastrophe

make a song

cool the lava

rake an angry tongue

with saliva undone

you guess where I’m going

nearly always wrong

you pack my bag

like I had a star ship

you are the captain

of my murderous lisp

chin out

fuck the pundits

those gnarly keepers of

what they think they knew

I am yours you are mine

your face your face

is my dangerous mine

here’s the gold

in my hand

here’s the diamond still banned

no children were harmed in

our rainbow romance

no animals slaughtered

to get at the answer

you live like the gentle answer you are

I give the confusion

a name to the star

your face your face

your amazing grace

make it last

make it real

with rainbow potential

I love you

and then some

diabolic eventual

I love you

I love you

make some sense

of this won’t you?
