I want you to know 'vanishing act' Lou Reed at glass speed I've also enclosed Feldman's last notes a hymn and 'heart food' in my capsule in space my capsule in space my Lord I want you to know that I'm afraid to sing you this song but need you to know my shaking voice weathered and worn by other love songs in Your wide plane of stars Your wide plane of stars my Love drifting in Your wide plane of stars Your wide plane of stars my Lord look after me in my capsule my capsule

under the overpass sounds shimmy and say: away, away, away, away, away, away... come away under the overpass beams buckle and sway convey, convey, convey, convey, convey, convey... where you're going come away... come away... come my way under the waterfall the birdcall disrobes forget, forget, forget, forget, forget, forget... where you where oh... oh... oh... oh... for nothing holds you in so spill out of the concrete mold that holds you holds you in and float away for nothing holds you in so spill out of the concrete mold that holds you oh, oh, oh holds you in for nothing holds you in so spill out of the concrete mold that holds you oh, oh, oh holds you in for nothing holds you in so spill out of the concrete mold that holds you holds you in and float away forget where you are going get where you are oh

altocumulus in wildfire and banks of snow there's a castle at the day's end where the sun goes lift your withered hands lift your lizard hands to show that you hold nothing, you hold nothing then let it go an abandoned beach in Florida the sickly coast water lapping by the highway in constant rush lift your muzzled ears lift your seagull's head, exult that at the day's end the horizon was built with holy hands
