Julia

Run — heart in my mouth
Run so hard that it beats
And repeats in my head like a gun
East — west, north and south
No direction to go
But I know that the ending’s begun
I know I made a mistake coming here again
But I had to remind myself of where and
When
We threw off our chains
Hid ourselves in ourselves from the world
And its organised hell
Now — nothing remains
Barely a trace of the place where I knew
Him well
Down
Down he said get on the floor
And stay well away from the door
Or someone will see us for sure
And I
Loved him like no-one before
Princess madonna and whore
Kept coming back for more
Run — goodness know where
I’m a poor refugee
And I might as well be on the moon
Still why should I care?
I had it all in one grand afternoon
Down
Down he said get on the floor
And stay well away from the door
Or someone will see us for sure
And I
Loved him like no-one before
Princess madonna and whore
Kept coming back for more
Feeling the death and decay
Didn’t expect him to stay
Stay with me Julia stay
But I
Only remember that day
As ruler of all I survey
And nothing can take that away
