Lunatique
Your light will not
shine
this night.
you'll walk dead streets
confused, again.
you'll walk dead streets
confused, again.
dance till dawn in
your
Jimmy Choo's.
your red nails tarnished
and broken.
Jimmy Choo's.
your red nails tarnished
and broken.
the music refuses to play
in your mind.
hugging your shoulder
is Hermès.
in your mind.
hugging your shoulder
is Hermès.
the vodka is cold and
melts red lip-gloss.
pigeons scatter upon a
bleak skyline.
melts red lip-gloss.
pigeons scatter upon a
bleak skyline.
cabbies ignore your hail;
enjoy your walk.
enraptured in luxury with
your Vera Wang.
enjoy your walk.
enraptured in luxury with
your Vera Wang.
Clive Christian's essence
follows your shadow.
the depth of your hell has
only just arrived.
follows your shadow.
the depth of your hell has
only just arrived.
in a lighters flash, savor
your last raucous rave,
on a ramp by the tracks
sleep well lunatique.
your last raucous rave,
on a ramp by the tracks
sleep well lunatique.
