Dickens Dock

from Twilight On The Trail by Silo's Choice

lyrics

like snowmelt into dry ground
I’m having better dreams now
a new bar to argue with new friends
I walk on the ice and don’t fall in

the cold pier where we first kissed
guess nobody ever named it
I christen it Dickens Dock after my jacket pocket paperback
break a bottle of beer and take a picture, but it’s not like that

god damn weren’t we strivers
true believers and deciders
planting landmines for no-one to find

I give everyone a wide berth
all that worry makes my stomach hurt
hot on the trail of some dialectical secret that may or may not be there
when the roof caves in the kids are so stoned that they don’t care
they just love the open air

god damn aren’t we strivers
training dogs and cutting wires
on landmines that no prying feet will find
god damn aren’t we strivers
under monstrous amplifiers
making monsters for monsters to fight

god damn aren’t we strivers
god damn aren’t we strivers
we care too much: it makes us look ridiculous
our angry mouths wide open to a sky
that only laughs and sends down snow to coat our tongues
god damn aren’t we strivers
god damn aren’t we strivers
when the pier’s knocked down
and the picture’s lost on some dead drive
the night sky steals a kiss for its frozen archive
