And we talked about Man Ray and Copernicus The physics paper was due Monday you'd smash it outta the park My phone had died and we left the party dead But the air was so good, youth is unwritten Walked by the canal, smoked a pack of Camels You said the dark has a thing with the light At the circus people didn't look like a Diane Arbus anymore The illusionist granted me a wish before we left You said my pupils dilate when Peacocks scream And through the garden laughter bled way beyond the balcony's light My diary provocative with the terms of incoming love You're not alone Michelangelo and me just walking home You made light of the books you wear so eloquently You flattered me and I would take a leading role in your dreams The sun bowed to the moon and we were formed As a child I'd been happy Dare we deserve so much I would allow you to lead me to the ferryman You held my hand like a carpenter There is so much love Don't compromise to make it fit Music was missing but not for long Said you'd asked your father if he would kill the man that killed you Your father said only if it would bring you back to life Love is never what you get left with You're not alone Michelangelo and me just walking home
