~

I want it all to last forever

Some ice cream
A rain storm
A kiss

I want each one I meet
to be the one I eat
my very last meal with

I want it all to last and last

~

I want it all to last forever

A car wash
A candle
That glow

A Caribbean cruise
A fresh pair of shoes
The song on the radio
 
I want it all

To last forever

~

But as we know
I gotta let it go

Cuz nothin lasts.

I want it all to goddamn last forever

A good book
A great love
A dance

I want each plum I eat
to stay as ripe and sweet
As it is on my tongue right now

I want that taste to last

Forever

But as we know
I better let it go

Cuz nothin lasts.

Nothin Lasts

It was like a cartoon moon
Hanging on the set of a Western
You can bet I changed my tune
Having arrived at the question

Will you love me still or no
When I get a wild hair?

You were like a swath of blue
Peeking through unctuous clouds
I was falling fastupthrough
Immortal cat chasing mouse

Are you catching what I throw?
I've got a wild hair

I’ve got a wild hair
I’ve got a wild hair
I’ve got a wild hair

It was like an ACME anvil drop...
~~~~
You came squealing to a stop
I have missed you so
and I’ve got a wild hair

I’ve got a wild hair
I’ve got a wild hair
I’ve got a wild hair

I was like a dead dried flower
Revived with saliva
And by that ungodly hour
We were the only survivors

The cock crows at dawn
but one cock alone doesn't summon the sun

Some still maintain
that Orféu sings the sun up each day

Yes, in the throes
of Carnaval's close, it seems to be true

But one rooster's crow
is a pale echo

Still, sad and beautiful

~

Dream wine- and moonlight-infused
Orféu conjures his momma, the muse

One cock alone,
crying out in the night, bewitching the stones

Still sad and beautiful

~

Ya gotta pay the piper
If ya wanna call the tune

Even that cock was an egg
Laid last June

Even if he had
the strength of ten

Still, sad and beautiful

~

Fountains are weeping
As he goes on seeking the Fountain of Youth

And every other Muse
Echoes
