Tatai from Dangling Man by Jack Parris and the Marine Island Band

You fall I live
Your old lovers mine now
Fall in divided love
Tripped over your shadow

You fly I survive
If just for a little while
Your old girl is now mine
A tragedy just for the time

Verse
We were two figs
Living for a second in a tree
We were, ….

We were two figs
Living for a second in a tree
It’s just artifice

We were two figs
Shadow fruit
Dead myth
We were two figs
We were, two hearts
War torn
Now apart
Hardened under
A paper kiss

Then the war comes and your
Shaking upside down in a void
Yeah you’ve got some pretty important decision
The war comes and your
Shaking upside down in a void
You got-to make your mind up
In the sea of crashing noise

Then taken by the river
Silver fingers severed
Surfaced again at the lake of rains
That’s where we meet again
You swim over to the rocks
Equinox of idleness
Turning into clay statuette
Waving from a window sitting in bed

Here comes the wind,
Kiss the space between the toes
Lift me to the edge, watch me go
Oh here he is
Hurricane Bill
Give him a lick,
He’ll roll down the hill.


Action making levers
Of all those future plans
Clutching at the world
A Fucking handshake man

Reflection of despair
Roar of the orchestra
Nobody
Nobody
Knows a caricature

Then taken by the river
Silver fingers severed
Surface at the lake of rains
That’s where we meet again
You swim over to the rocks
Equinox of idleness
I’m turning into clay statuette
Waving from a window sitting in bed

Shaking upside down in a void
Yeah you’ve got a choice Roy
Shaking upside down in a void
Yeah you’ve got a choice Roy
Shaking upside down in a void
Yeah you’ve got a choice Roy
Shaking upside down in a void
Yeah you’ve got a choice Roy
Shaking upside down in a void
Yeah you’ve got a choice Roy
Shaking upside down in a void
Yeah you’ve got a choice Roy

I’m going to live for a little while longer
I’m going to love for a little while
