The Man Condemned to Death
Let's dream together of a thug
Big as universe
Splashed with tattoos
In purple reds and blues
His kisses like a drug
He'll pass smoke on his breath
A shared butt tasting of islands
Of tobacco rum and death
It breaks my heart to see them go
My cell mates acting mean and hard
The one we crowned with lilacs in the yard
Who bought me bitter pain
The other dead in Venice
In a black gondola
In the pouring Autumn rain
Let your teeth slide their wolfish grin
Into my blue veined jugular
Pulsating like a star
In the scarlet Spanish night
Give me your hand and lead me where
Black grasses kneel to morning dew
As for me I'm bound to die there
We hadn't finish our Gitanes
Bitter fags smoked to the last spark
Of embers twinkling in the dark

You faced a death sentence
My best years spent inside a cell
Back to the wall for stealing books
That I'd committed to memory
Let's dream together of a thug
Chased across town, his splashed tattoos
Mapped in purples reds and blues
His kisses like a smoky drug
He'll die with blond hair and not grey
The two of us exchanging rings
On his execution day
Give me your hand and lead me where
Black grasses kneel to morning dew
Give me your hand and lead me where
Black grasses kneel to morning dew
As for me I'm bound to die there
Let's dream together of a thug
Chased across town, his splashed tattoos
Mapped in purples reds and blues
His kisses like a smoky drug
He'll die with blond hair and not grey
The two of us exchanging rings
On his execution day
