Hospital blossom, remember these thingsThough I know there's no light found in songs that I singAsparagus arms and my spine sprouting wingsDon't you know, when I go there'll be no bells to ringThe things that I paid for, the things that I stole,The things that I lost almost swallowed you wholeYour body burned brightly and blackened to coalAnd ashes like leavings in a beggar's bowlBut I know, I know I'm going to leave this lifeJust as soon as I'm allowedI've got to go and meet my angel wifeUp on that crooked cloudMy spine will soar and split up skinMy bones will break into birthAnd your hands will dig a pit to find me inThat eager, eager earthHospital blossom, I cannot resistThe highways that run 'round my reddening wristsMore grist for the mill and more names for the listAnd with the air in my lungs I'm aware I existSo now I'm bleeding honey where bees once had stungAnd I'm crying candy where tears once had clungSongtexteAnd I'm breathing sweetly with marshmallow lungsAnd sugarcane grows where my head once had hungBecause I know, I know I'm going to leave this lifeJust as soon as I'm allowedI've got to go and meet my angel wifeUp on that crooked cloudMy spine will soar and split up skinMy bones will break into birthAnd your hands will dig a pit to find me inThat eager, eager earth Aus Songtexte Mania
