Golden Slumbers

Kiss you with mandragora lips
Sleep silly girl, do not cry
Listen to the man with no name
singing a vilatile lullabye.

Sip a strong nightcap of depromel
Dream, two-time girl, magic dreams
The hypnagogoic hallucination taking
an old lover's silhouette, it seems.

The swing of a soft pendulum
will be lazily synchronized
with a rotation of our galaxy
You think they have compromised?

Remembering a homeward scenery
in the midst of a stranger's body odor
that smelled sensual once, now turning into
disgust, thru the trap of a gene decoder.

Sleep silly girl, do not cry
Your days are all told and numbered
simply sung in golden slumbers.

Sleep silly girl, do not cry
Into the night, you have merged
I am singing you a pretty little dirge.
