no poetry

• gary jules'un kadife sesinden dinlenesi, trading snakeoil for wolftickets albümünün ikinci şarkısı.^**
  
  "there's no poetry between us"
  said the paper to the pen
  something's burning in the attic
  that her tongue will not defend
  through the arc of conversation
  past the teeth behind the smile
  down the miracle mile
  to the bottom of the ladder
  paint your eyes and hide the tatters
  what's the matter baby?
  could we go downtown
  to the middle of the world?
  you were always such a pretty girl
  and you told me i was beautiful
  "there's no poetry between us"
  said the paper to the pen
  "and i get nothing for my trouble
  but the ink beneath my skin"
  if your clothes are getting weary
  and your soul's gone out of style
  blame the miracle mile
  and the bottom of the ladder
  paint your eyes and hide the tatters
  what's the matter baby?
  ...i'm coming too
