Celebration of the Lizard
Lions in the street & roaming
Dogs in heat, rabid, foaming
A beast caged in the heart of a city
The body of his mother
Rotting in the summer ground.
He fled the town.
He went down South
And crossed the border
Left the chaos & disorder
Back there
Over his shoulder.
One morning he awoke in a green hotel
W/a strange creature groaning beside him.
Sweat oozed from its shiny skin.
Is everybody in? (3)
The ceremony is about to begin.
Wake up!
You can't remember where it was.
Had this dream stopped?
The snake was pale gold glazed & shrunken.
We were afraid to touch it.
The sheets were hot dead prisons.
And she was beside me, old,
She's, no; young.
Her dark red hair.
The white soft skin.
Now, run to the mirror in the bathroom,
Look!
She's coming in here.
I can't live thru each slow century
of her moving.
I let my cheek slide down
The cool smooth tile
Feel the good cold stinging blood.
The smooth hissing snakes
of rain...
Once I had, a little game
I liked to crawl, back into my brain
I think you know, the game I mean
I mean the game, called 'go insane'
Now you should try, this little game
just close your eyes, forget your name
forget the world, forget the people
and we'll erect, a different steeple.
This little game, is fun to do.
Just close your eyes, no way to lose
And I'm right there, I'm going too
Release control, we're breaking Thru
Burrow back into the brain
Way back past the realm of pain
Back where there's never any rain
And the rain falls gently on the town.
And over the heads of all of us
And in the labyrinth of streams
Beneath, the quiet unearthly presence of
Nervous hill dwellers in the gentle hills around,
Reptiles abounding
Fossils, caves, cool air heights.
(Each house repeats a mold,
Windows rolled, beast car
locked in against morning.
All now sleeping, rugs silent,
Mirrors vacant, dust blind
under the beds
Of lawful couples wound
in sheets & daughters,
smug w/semen, eyes
in their nipples.)
Wait!
There's been a slaughter here.
(siren)
(Don't stop to speak or look around
Your gloves & fan are on the ground
We're getting out of town
We're going on the run
And you're the one I want to come)
Not to touch the earth
Not to see the sun
Nothing left to do,
But run, run, run
Let's run
House upon the hill
Moon is lying still
Shadows of the trees
Witness going the wild breeze
C'mon baby
Run w/me
Let's run
The mansion is warm at the top of the hill
Rich are the rooms & the comforts there
Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs
& you won't know a thing till you get inside.
Dead president's corpse in the driver's car
The engine runs on glue and tar
C'mon along, we're not going very far
To the East to meet the Czar,
Some outlaws lived by the side of a lake
The minister's daughter's in love w/the snake
Who lives in a well by the side of the road
Wake up, girl, we're almost home,
Sun Sun Sun
Burn Bum Burn
Soon Soon Soon
Moon-Moon-Moon
I will get you
Soon
Soon
Soon!
(Scream)
Let the carnival bells ring
Let the serpent sing
Let everything
(Bells)
Fade
Desert Night
Voices of the Fire
"We came down the rivers & highways
We came down from forests & falls
We came down from Carson & Springfield
We came down from Phoenix enthralled
And I can tell you the names of the Kingdom
I can tell you the things that you know
Listening for a fistful of silence
Climbing valleys into the shade"
Sounds of the Fire
(whistles, rattlesnakes, castanets)
"I am the Lizard King
I can do anything
I can make the earth stop in its tracks
I made the blue cars go away.
For seven years I dwelt
in the loose palace of exile,
Playing strange games
w/the girls of the island.
Now I have come again
To the land of the fair, & the strong, & the wise.
Brothers & sisters of the pale forest
0 Children of Night
Who among you will run w/the hunt?
--Cries of assent--
Now Night arrives with her purple legion.
Retire now to your tents & to your dreams.
Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth.
I want to be ready."

狮子在街上游荡
狗发情发狂,吐出泡沫
一只兽困在城市中心
母亲的身体
在夏天的土地上溃烂着。
他逃离城市。
跑向南方
跑过了边境
把骚动和混乱
抛在身后。
一天早晨,他在一座绿色旅馆醒来
一个陌生动物在身旁呻吟。
汗水从它闪亮的皮肤渗出。
里面有人吗?
里面有人吗?
里面有人吗?
典礼就要开始了。
醒来吧!
你不记得这是哪里。
这梦结束了吗?
那蛇苍白金黄光滑,蜷缩一团。
我们不敢去碰它。
床单是热的死的监狱。
她靠在我旁边,苍老,
她,不,年轻。
深红色的头发。
雪白的柔软的肌肤。
现在,跑向浴室的镜子,
看!
她正走进来。
我不可能活着看她所有动作
每个动作都有一世纪那么长久。
顺着冰冷光滑的瓷瓦
我让我的颊下滑
感觉那美好的、冰凉的、刺痛的血液。
感觉那雨
光滑的嘶嘶叫的蛇……
从前我曾有,一个小小的游戏
我喜欢爬行,爬进我的大脑
我想你知道,我说的是什么游戏
我说的就是它:“进入疯狂”
来,现在你试一试,这小小的游戏
只需闭上眼,忘掉你的姓名
忘掉世界,忘掉人群
然后我们将建起,一座不同的教堂
这小小的游戏,非常的好玩
只需闭上眼,怎么都不会输
并且我会在那,我也会参与
放弃控制,让我们跨越
从暗道回到大脑
向回走,越过痛苦的国度
回到一个地方,那儿从不下雨
而雨轻轻地落在城市上
落在我们每个人的头上
落在河流的迷宫里
下面,寂静的超凡的世界
山丘里住着担惊受怕的居民
爬行动物大量生长
化石,洞穴,空气清凉的高地。
(每个房子都一模一样
窗子摇好 动物车锁着
衬托着早晨
一切都在沉睡 毛毯寂静
镜子空空 灰尘
隐藏在床下
床单缠裹的
一对对合法夫妻
女儿们
因精液而心满意足,乳头上
眨着眼睛)
且慢!
这里曾有一场屠杀。
(警报声)
(别停下说话或者环顾其他
你的手套和扇子落在地下
我们正在走出城市
我们正在出逃
而你是我想要变成的人)
不要碰地球
不要看太阳
什么都不要做
只是跑,跑,跑
快跑
房子在山上
月亮静静平躺
树的影子
目击疯狂的风
快点孩子快点
跟着我快跑
快跑
大宅是温暖的在那山上
房间充足舒适的感觉充足在那山上
华丽的椅子扶手红红
没到那之前你绝对不会知道。
死去总统的尸体在司机的车上
引擎里燃的是胶水和焦油
