evolution

semi-detached skin
red rusty lips
white wise hair
bored blinking eyes

cowboy of my sins
horse of desire
steering into water 
falling out the fire

man becomes human
liar washes his brain
lady's got her champagne
landlord plans his crime

cowboy of my sins
rides horse of desire
steering into water
falling out the fire

backwards never stopping
faster than a train
slower than abullet
climbing out the drain

cowboy of my sins
horse of desire
steering into water 
falling out the fire

cowboy of my sins
and the horse of desire
steering into water 
we're falling out the fire

evolution's ended
long before the war
the red cross of the sneakers
made the pope believe

lottery is tax-free
killing oneself too
glamorous extension
of industries and goods

cowboy of my sins
horse of desire
steering into water 
falling out the fire
