The Black Swan - Peter Straker

Deeper and deeper

Darker and darker

Into the night I soar above the clouds

Moving like lightning, smiling, jeering

The midnight neon beckons me

Underground

The black swan glides, glittering, preening

Feathers a’fluff, like a giant powder puff

Circles down, head held high

Venus is my love

Venus is my love

Deeper and deeper

Darker and darker

The bitches demented scream obscenities!

They moved, they used, the fossils follow

Excited grounds, as one they hallow

I see a monster, seeping, creeping

Arms akimbo like a flying makimba

I encountered my heroes eyes, I blushed

Venus is my love

Venus is my love

Medusa, Fusella

Scream

Allow me the pleasure:

I am, I am the devil in the sky

It’s part of a way of life

It’s life in between agony and ecstasy

They say love is for the very blind

Deeper and deeper

Darker and darker

How great the needs must be…

To FLY!

The black swan smiles, glittering, preening

Feathers are sleek, and staring’s all it seeks

Languidly glides to the night

Venus is my love

Venus is my love
