Idol Hour Night

Idol Hour Night

Throgh a glass darkly
flying so high for the money.
I can see her face shining
from another dark
bright plane.

Where we'll do again
what here we'll never know.

Sleep now
we'll wander
where the sof dust flows.
Heaven knows...
No.
In that Idol hour night.
She was an actress,
I was a thief
in her company I found belief.

With style and grace,
she kept a perfect beat
smiling muse
ashes
on a dead end street.

Sleep now
we'll wander slow.
Around the Horn of Antares
in that idol hour night.

I will come to you
on a seven eleven.

Landscape of
crystalline
marble
chess pieces.
Under the dark terran...
for you.

Time on my side
not always what it
appears to be.
I was sad like
the Gulf beach strewn.
Her eyes
like the sky.

Mirror twin
at the crack of dawn
on a buzzing lawn.

Nothing alive
but a song.
Here instead
in my soul.

Around Perdition's flames
burning light...
in that idol hour night.
