Delta 9 (Pantoum)
‘Dreams for rent!’
Cries the inducing drug.
The hours grow, the day is spent,
Our beautiful secret swept under the rug.
Cries the inducing drug,
‘Catch the vole!’
Our beautiful secret swept under the rug.
Baby, keep it quiet, don’t show a soul.
‘Catch the vole!’
What a trip we’re on, together,
Baby, keep it quiet, don’t show a soul.
Funny, this type of weather…
What a trip we’re on, together,
The clouds are twirling, the rain comes down red.
Funny, this type of weather.
Come with me, into bed.
The clouds are twirling, the rain comes down red.
Our body heat and boneless limbs need peace,
Come with me, into bed.
These dizzying highs soon will cease.
Our body heat and boneless limbs need peace,
Our trembling blood, our hearts so rough
These dizzying highs soon will cease,
Take some more, but don’t take too much.
Our trembling blood, our hearts so rough,
It’s winding down,
Take some more, but don’t take too much
Or else we’ll drown.
It’s winding down,
Baby, take some more and just lay still
Or else we’ll drown
Out on this pleasure trip, this raging thrill.
Baby, take some more and just lay still.
You and I, we got this bad addiction,
Out on this pleasure trip, this raging thrill.
Condemned for life, it’s our conviction.
