The Phantom Limbs - WRENCHES AND SPOONS

WRENCHES AND SPOONS

i just wanted to sleep
i turned away from you
faced the wall
closed my eyes
and tried to be still

i had a dream
that we were making love
using wrenches and spoons

there were like these kitchen items
and levers and knobs
i didn`t know what button to push
so i grabbed what was right in front of me
and pushed it as hard as i could

i had a dream
that we were making love
using candles and brooms
it seemed so real
i was almost touching you

cellophane kisses on plexiglass windows
caressing the doorknobs, fondling keyholes

it seems so real
i’m almost touching you
feels so close to the truth

no lights no lights
and then you rise to look outside
you love the sight of broken windows

i’m pushing and pushing - trying so hard to get in.
ramming my way into your brain.
i wanna penetrate your soul. i wanna crawl inside.
but all i’ve got is remote controls controlled by electric eyes.

ringing the bells and turning the knobs, trying so hard to get through.
keep rummaging through drawers, looking for tools, can`t find the key to get in.

mating the wall - i installed it - now i’m crawling upon it
you look outside you love the sight of broken windows

i had a dream
that we were making love
using toothpicks and glue
