Bride Blew Fairs

Bride blew fairs.

wine stains on a white dress.

children playing with balloons.

a nervous waiter spits in champagne for those who don't tip.

There are many people against this entertainment

and they will turn this place into a funeral

But we have to remove the coffin before the police arrive.

graffiti written side by side on the walls by rightists and leftists

There's a line behind an outlaw to buy cotton candy

Clowns are waiting to turn into Joker

pre

and they took the signal cause I take off my high heels.

Run Rudolph Run!

chorus

Don't let the criminals who think they're Bonnie and Clyde get away.

They will try to sell their poems as political propaganda

They will take the money and run away and move to a planet where they become ghosts.

Don't let those unbelievers meet God before us.

v2

Most of the rumors are true 'cause we proved them right

We'll wear our friendly masks and drink teas with sugar.

Because things won't get any sweeter later.

The birds stop singing when they see us

but I think it's because they want to listen to our voices

I can hear the horsemen approaching us

and a bullet passed me by

pre

If you taste the coal from my lips

Run Johnny Run!

Don't let these nameless people get you down

and it's time for them to see your true face

 where my kisses and hands roam

Don't let them think we are good people!

and years later 

a historian ends 

his book with these words

 "bride blew fairs"

This reminds me of an old Shangrilas song.
"Give us your Blessing"
I like the graffiti part so much...and I often wonder how historians fifty years from now will view us and what we were.
Poetry can also be romantic propaganda ... and I can envision a couple of poets (I was married to one) sitting side by side in an old Ford with their typewriters shot to pieces by a barrage of criticism.
A poem that took me places.

I listened to the song and I can really see why it reminds this. I liked this energy! I always enjoy your comments, I love when you tell the parts you relate to.The visuality you created is very special. Thank you for the song, for the comment, and for everything!
