Soup Stone

lyrics

You say that you wanna melt my heart.
You say, “It’s a tender heart.”

You say that I must have a soft side.
You say “and it can’t always hide inside.” (you crycrycry, melt your eye)

You say that you wanna swim in my blood.
You better be careful, it would be a flood.

You say, “It will be a pool of peaceful stillness.”
You say that it will cure all your illness.

I don’t trust you in word or deed
When you say a spoonful’s all you need

Well, how do you know?

How do you know
I’m not some fearsome beast
that feeds on mystery?

How do you know
I won’t turn on you
Like a smiley pet chimpanzee?

There’s wild irrationality
and implacable machines
How do you know that’s not me?

How do you know
I’m not a lion in it’s cage
Pacing in power, masking it’s rage

How do you know
I’m not completely empty?

I can flash my eyes at you
& You’d know what I can do

You only know what I let you know
You can’t be sure of what you infer

Still you say that you wanna melt my heart
O you say, “Sure it’s a delicate art.”

You say you’ve got such sympathy
Can’t you see it is useless to me?

And how can you melt a stone?
Especially when it is all on it’s own

If you won’t stop trying to melt my heart,
Well first you’ve got to make it start.

Conductors Chicago, Illinois

"Mona tried to tell me
To stay away from the train line
She said that all the railroad men
Just drink up your blood like wine
An’ I said, 'Oh, I didn’t know that
But then again, there’s only one I’ve met
An’ he just smoked my eyelids
An’ punched my cigarette' "
