Maps of blood and flesh
"O Crown of Light, o Darkened One,
I never thought we'd meet.
You kiss my lips, I undid your gown:
I'm back on Boogie Street.
A sip of wine, a cigarette,
and then it's time to go.
I tidied up the kitchenette;
I tuned the old banjo.
I'm wanted at the traffic-jam.
They're saving me a seat.
I'm what i am, and what i am,
Is back on Boogie Street.
And o my love, i still recall
The pleasures that we knew;
The rivers and the waterfall,
Wherein i bathed with you.
Bewildered by your beauty there,
I'd kneel to dry your feet.
By such instructions you prepare
A man for Boogie Street.
O Crown of Light, o Darkened One.
So come, my friends, be not afraid.
We are so lightly here.
It is in love that we are made;
In love we disappear.
Tho' all the maps of blood and flesh
Are posted on the door,
There's no one who has told us yet
What Boogie Street is for.
O Crown of Light, o Darkened One,
I never thought we'd meet.
You kiss my lips, and then it's done:
I'm back,
back on Boogie Street
A sip of wine, a cigarette,
and then it's time to go...."
Boogie Street - Leonard Cohen
