Testo Jocasta
When the baby's born
Oh, let's turn it to the snow
So that ice will surely grow
Over weak and brittle bones
Oh, let's leave it to the wolves
So their teeth turn it to food
Oh, its flesh keeps them alive
Oh, its death helps life survive
Oh, the world can be kind in its own way
Oh well your future's a machine
With the mechanics of a dream
And it's your mind that spins the wheel
And your heart that makes you feel
All the guilt for all your sins
Oh and as that wheel spins
Oh well it plays as they believed
And for your husband you have grieved
Oh the world
Still deceives you as it turns
And in my lucid moments I could see
Oh that the heart may be
The weakest part of me
Oh and the moon controls
The movements of the tide
Oh but it has no weight on the movements of my mind
But if you turn your hands to flames Oh, the light will burn the same
Whether you just pass it through
Or if it's what you're meant to do
Then your sense of copability
Is from the guards that you perceived
There comes to part
When you believe will show your grace
Oh, when you turn to the ghost
Oh by now, the love you found,
Is lazy in the muddy ground
Oh the day will let you down
Because you're cursed
But still go on the same
Oh, let's turn it to the snow
So that ice will surely grow
Over weak and brittle bones
Oh, let's leave it to the wolves
So their teeth turn it to food
Oh, its flesh keeps them alive
Oh, its death helps life survive
Oh, the world can be kind in its own way
Oh well your future's a machine
With the mechanics of a dream
And it's your mind that spins the wheel
And your heart that makes you feel
All the guilt for all your sins
Oh and as that wheel spins
Oh well it plays as they believed
And for your husband you have grieved
Oh the world
Still deceives you as it turns
And in my lucid moments I could see
Oh that the heart may be
The weakest part of me
Oh and the moon controls
The movements of the tide
Oh but it has no weight on the movements of my mind
But if you turn your hands to flames Oh, the light will burn the same
Whether you just pass it through
Or if it's what you're meant to do
Then your sense of copability
Is from the guards that you perceived
There comes to part
When you believe will show your grace
Oh, when you turn to the ghost
Oh by now, the love you found,
Is lazy in the muddy ground
Oh the day will let you down
Because you're cursed
But still go on the same
FINK, CHARLES
