Lavovi kruže ulicama i
Zapanjeni, mahniti psi.
Zver je zarobljena u srcu grada
A telo njegove majke
Trune u letnjoj zemlji.
Pobegao je iz grada.
Krenuo na jug i prešao granicu
Ostavio za sobom
Haos i lom.
Jednog jutra je osvanuo u zelenom hotelu
Neki čudni stvor je zavijao kraj njega.
Znoj je lio sa njegove sjajne kože.
Jesu li svi tu?
Svečanost počinje.
Probudi se!
Ne pamtiš gdje je to bilo.
Zar je snu već došao kraj?
Zmija je bila svetlozlatna
Staklasta i uzmakla.
Bojali smo se da je dodirnemo.
Čaršavi su bili vrele mrtve ćelije
A ona je ležala kraj mene.
Ne stara… Već mlada.
Slapovi riđe kose
Po beloj, mekanoj puti.
Sada ! Trči do ogledala u kupatilu
I pogledaj se!
Ona ulazi
Ne mogu proživeti svaki vek njenih tromih pokreta
Puštam da mi obraz sklizne
Ne hladnu, glatku opeku
I oseti peckanje ledene krvi
Uz skladno skitanje kišnih zmija…
Nekad sam znao jednu malu igru
Voleo sam da se puzeći vratim u mozak.
Znate na koju igru mislim?
Zvala se “put u ludilo”.
Možete probati da se igrate
Sklopite oči, zaboravite ime
Zaboravite svet, zaboravite ljude
I tako ćemo podići novi zvonik.
Zabavna igra.
Slobodno sklopi oči, nema gubitnika.
Ja polazim s tobom.
Opusti se i eto nas na drugoj strani.
Tamo daleko, duboko u mozgu.
Tamo daleko, davno u mom bolu.
Tamo daleko nema nikad kiša.
Kiša samo nežno pada na gradove,
Na glave svih nas.
A lavirint kapi
Krije nečujna prostranstva,
Nervoznih stanovnika ljupkih bražuljaka,
Obilje reptila, fosila, pećina, hladnih visova.
Sve kuće su pravljene na isti kalup
Svi prozori su navukli kapke
Zver od automobila je zaključana do jutra.
Sada svi spavaju
I nema prostirke, i prazni prozori.
Slepa prašina pod krevetima bračnih parova
Zamotanih u čaršave
I kćeri nadmene
Sa izbuljenom spermom umjesto bradavica.
Stani!
Ovde je pokolj.
( Ne zastajkuj da govoriš i zveraš naokolo
Tvoje rukavice i lepeza su na zemlji
Napuštamo grad
Bežimo
Jedino s tobom mogu krenuti)
Ne dodiruj zemlju
Ne gledaj u sunce
Ne možeš ništa drugo sem
Bežati, bežati, bežati.
Beži.
Kućica je na bregu
A mesec pored nje
I senka svakog lista
Odaje divlji povjetarac.
Draga ! Beži sa mnom.
Beži.
Bježi sa mnom.
Bježi.
Bežimo zajedno.
Topli je dom na vrhu brega.
Raskoši, komforni dvori
I crveni nasloni luksuznih fotelja.
Ništa nećeš saznati dok ne uđeš unutra.
Telo mrtvog predsednika je u vozačevom automobilu.
Motor radi na lepilo i smolu.
Pođimo, ne tako daleko,
Samo do istoka da sretnemo cara.
Neki odmetnici su živjeli na obali jezera
Župnikova kći je zavolela zmiju
Koja živi u jami kraj puta.
Probudi se, devojčice! Skoro smo kod kuće.
Sunce, sunce, sunce
Gori, gori, gori
Meseče, meseče, meseče
Pašćeš u moje ruke
Uskoro!
Uskoro!
Uskoro!
Ja sam Kralj Guštera
I mogu sve.
Došli smo
rekama i putevima
Došli smo
Šumama i slapovima
Došli smo
Iz Karsona i Springfilda
I mogu vam reći
Imena kraljevine
Mogu vam reći
Stvari koje znate
Osluškujući pregršt tišine
Verući se dolinom ka senci.
Sedam godina sam proveo
U razvratnom dvoru izgnanstva
Igrao čudne igre
Sa devojkama sa ostrva.
Sada sam se vratio
U zemlju pravednih i jakih i mudrih.
Braćo i sestre svetlosnih šuma
O deco noći
Ko će od vas jurnuti u lov?
Sada noć stiže sa svojom purpurnom svitom.
Povucite se u šatore i svoje snove.
Sutra ulazimo u moj rodni grad
Hoću da budem spreman.
SVETKOVINA GUŠTERA
------->............................
The Celebration Of The Lizard
Lions in the street and 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 and disorder
Back there over his shoulder
One morning he awoke in a green hotel
With a strange creature groaning beside him
Sweat oozed from its shiny skin
Is everybody in?
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 and shrunken
We were afraid to touch it
The sheets were hot dead prisons
And she was beside me
Old, she's not, young
Her dark red hair
Her white soft skin
Now, run to the mirror in the bathroom
Look!
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
Way back deep into the brain
Back where there's never any pain
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
And daughters, smug
With semen eyes in their nipples
Wait
There's been a slaughter here
(Don't stop to speak or look around
Your gloves and 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
Witnessing the wild breeze
C'mon baby run with me
Let's run
Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Let's run
The mansion is warm, at the top of the hill
Rich are the rooms and the comforts there
Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs
And 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 the lake
The minister's daughter's in love with the snake
Who lives in a well by the side of the road
Wake up, girl! We're almost home
Sun, sun, sun
Burn, burn, burn
Soon, soon, soon
Moon, moon, moon
I will get you
Soon!
Soon!
Soon!
Let the carnival bells ring
Let the serpent sing
Let everything
We came down
The rivers and highways
We came down from
Forests and falls
We came down from
Carson and 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
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
With the girls of the island
Now I have come again
To the land of the fair, and the strong, and the wise
Brothers and sisters of the pale forest
O Children of Night
Who among you will run with the hunt?
Now Night arrives with her purple legion
Retire now to your tents and to your dreams
Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth
I want to be ready'
