I was on her body

He was on her mind

I progressed her

He possessed her

I was there every day

He was there one day

And then went away

Well, I'm gathering these splinters

To make a raft someday

She gives me so little

I'm gathering these splinters

To make a raft someday

And then sail away

But the candle, she still burns a candle

"A light", she says, "I need a light"

And it's the only light in our room tonight

And she fills her face

With bananas and plums

Yoghurt and thumbs

And sexual drums

Her fingers comes numbs

And the vibrator charge

And my dumb smile
