ONE OF MY TURNS Day after day love turns grey, Like the skin of a dying man. Night after night, we pretend it's all right But I have grown older and You have grown colder and Nothin' 1s very much tun anymore. And I can feel one of my turns coming on. I'feel cold as a razor blade, Tight as a tourniquet, Dry as a funeral drum. Rup to the bedroom, in the suitcase on the left You'll find my favourite axe. Don't look so frightened This is just a passing phase, Just one of my bad days. Would you like to watch T.V.? Or get between the sheets? Or contemplate the silent freeway? Would you like something to eat? Would you like to leara to tly? Would you like to see ne try? Would you like to call the cops? Do you think it's time I stopped? Why are you running away?
