cling to the railings, stranger
pray for the roof to collapse
don't throw your heart up
save your breath and your neck for the rack
you're still afraid of the water
she's still afraid of the dog
mad if you want her and mad if you don't
don't let her slip through your fingers
one kiss of life and she's breathing again
don't let her slip through your fingers
sink to the bottom, stranger
caught in the stir of the tide
please don't desert me
just hold on 'til the others arrive
child at the edge of the water
toy in the mouth of the dog
