about

Andrew enters the scene.

lyrics

ANDREW: I have no memory of starting,
I have no knowledge of my end,
my birth I heard from my mother's word,
my death I learnt from dead friends.

Oh, were I raised by wolves or made
by science of unethical stripes
to not once think the thought that once I was not
nor know it's my lot to say goodbye.

'Cause I shudder like a limb laid on a live wire,
not from fear of birth or death but of their mutual child,
'cause if I come stamped with 'The End' and 'Once Upon a Time'
then in-between the two I've got to choose a life.

So I moved to a city on the eve of Eschaton,
post-industrial to judge the drugs and dust her throat caught on,
and summing up the Spirit thrilling in her breast and mine
I cried, "I'll try and be the kind of creature that you like!"

I subsequently shattered like a wave upon the dock
or a crucifix of plaster catching atheistic rocks.
My mother made a unity of me, body and soul,
but it's thirty-four or more I heap at her when I come home.

So I'm smashing window-glass to let a little light
inflame into a single shine my dark mosaic mind.
I'll fall in love with anyone who, lifted like the sun,
promises to draw all things in me into one.
