H απάντηση στην ανάρτηση του πρτφ "dance me to the of love" είναι το "from her to eternity".

Μέσα μου
γύρω μου
η επανάσταση σέρνεται
σαν μελαγχολική φίλη
δεν υπάρχει παρηγοριά

ερωτική σχέση που τυλίγει
γυμνή και απαιτητική
χαρίζει ανάσες και σπέρνει πόνους


ματαίωση τετράγωνη
τα κράσπεδα του δρόμου
όλα καλά και στη θέση τους

Γύρω μου
μέσα μου
προσμονή να ΄χω να ζεσταίνω
κάθε μέρα απ΄ την αρχή
δεν κάνουν πλάκα με κάτι τέτοια

Μέσα μου
Γύρω μου
εκεί είσαι
και είμαι


από αυτήν ως την αιωνιότητα*.












Ah wanna tell ya 'bout a girl
You know, she lives in room 29
Why... Why... that's the one right up top a mine
Ah start to cry, Ah start to cry


O Ah hear her walkin'
Walkin' barefoot cross the floor-boards
All thru this lonesome night
Ah hear her crying too.
Hot-tears come splashin on down
Leaking thru the cracks,
Down upon my face, Ah catch'em in my mouth!
Ah catch'em in my mouth!
Ah catch'em in my mouth!
Walk'n'cry Walk'n'cry-y!!!


From her to eternity!



Ah read her diary on her sheets
Scrutinizin' every lil bit of dirt
Tore out a page'n'stufft it inside my shirt
Fled outa the window,
And shinning it down the vine
Outa her night-mare, and back into mine
Mine! O Mine!


From her to eternity!

Cry! Cry! CRY!


She's wearing them bloo-stockens, ah bet!
and standin' like this with my ear to the ceiling
Listen, Ah know it must sound absurd
but Ah can hear the most melancholy sound
Ah ever heard!
Walk'n'cry! Kneel'n'cry-y!


From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!


O tell me why? O tell me why?
Oh Why? Why? Why?
O tell me why and don't tell me a lie!
Why the ceiling still shakes? Shakes! Shakes! Shakes!
Why the fixtures turn to serpents and snakes?


This desire to possess her is a wound
and its naggin at me like a shrew
but, Ah know, that to possess her
Is, therefore, not to desire her.


O o o then ya know, that lil girl would just have to go!
Go! Go-o-o! From her to eternity!


From her to eternity!
