EZRA POUND LYRICS
Lay your hands on the ocean
Lay you hands on the sea
You touch the heart with words
You satisfy me, you satisfy me
And then you took in hand
Pricked by poison pen
Painted the world one color
You drew me in, you draw me in
We won't read the end, Ezra Pound
We won't read the end, Ezra Pound
We won't read the end, Ezra Pound
We won't read the end, Ezra Pound
And if you say a prayer
Please say one for me
And if you light a candle, baby
Please light, light one for me
If I say I love you
Will you still be true?
And if I say I love you
Will you still be, will you still be true?
[We won't read the end, Ezra Pound]
Will you still be true?
[We won't read the end, Ezra Pound]
Will you still be true?
[We won't read the end, Ezra Pound]
Will you still be true?
[We won't read the end, Ezra Pound]
You take, Alice B. Toklas and Gertrude Stein
Put them all together and what you find?
Alice B. Toklas and Gertrude Stein
Put them all together and what do you find?
Alice B. Toklas and Gertrude Stein
Put them all together
I said sticks and stones can break my bones, but this world can never hurt me,
I said sticks and stones can break my bones, but your world, this world can never hurt me.
[We won't read the end, Ezra Pound]
Want can never hurt me?
[We won't read the end, Ezra Pound]
What can never hurt me?
[We won't read the end, Ezra Pound]
What can never hurt me
[We won't read the end, Ezra Pound]
[We won't read the end, Ezra Pound]
Your down in the metro, where want to go
[We won't read the end, Ezra Pound]
You stop and find the things that you can never know
[We won't read the end, Ezra Pound]
Oh, you can never know
[We won't read the end, Ezra Pound]
[We won't read the end, Ezra Pound.]
I am everything, I am nothing
[We won't read the end, Ezra Pound]
I am everything, I am nothing
[We won't read the end, Ezra Pound]
I am everything, I am nothing
[We won't read the end, Ezra Pound]
I am everything, Ezra Pound
