Flying
We are flying through the universe
hand in hand
we don’t need ground control
or oxygen or rocket motors
we’re quite high enough
hand in hand
It might be love
It might be dope or the little white pill I took
It doesn’t really matter much
You’re a crazy wild eyed woman
And I love it when you loop the loop
Flying through the universe
With your hair a mess
And your arms in the air
Look you’re Wonder Woman or Super Girl
or is it Wonder Girl and Super Glue?
I don’t care
I’m crazy drugged-up and stuck with you.
(Who? Who? Who are you?
Did I meet you in a club?)
I’ll see you on the other side of Mars
legs akimbo, arse in the air
wild space flowers growing in your hair
I am Venus, I am Jupiter, I am the red planet covered in blood
I am running rings around Saturn
I pocketed the Earth and here’s Neptune in my hand
I stole it for you and look –
close to it’s only stone
so wear it round your neck.
(break neck, break neck, break-neck speed
- that may be what we took).
