Black Satin Amazon/Fire Engine Cry Baby Lyrics by Gylan Kain
1970
Black satin Amazon Fire engine cry baby The dark walls of your entrapment swing gently 'gainst the wind And I swell to touch the firebird soaring upwards from your breast. We make love in the burning tenement. And in your pain you scream. The mouth opens. The fire engine roars and we die. We die the death of the limp sparrow that rests upon God's [kneed long leg?], mama. Grasshopper behind my dream. I fall against your back like the panther in heat. The tension of your surface substance opens like the fountain, I drink from the pores of your skin and spit it back into your womb. Black satin Amazon Fire engine cry baby [Hey!] I am the lost horizon whose arms stretch out to caress your limbs. Insulation pane-glass woman, your lips run red like the blood of disenchantment. I look into your face as I would look into a mirror. But things fall apart and you are so much shattered glass. Black satin Amazon Fire engine cry baby [Hey] My words My words slip out like forgotten [seed] scorched on the mountain's echoed silence. We make love in the burning tenement, my knife upon your womb, fingers upon your neck--you scream. Black satin woman, you are the Boston strangler turning inward against yourself. I am not the man who kicked you down the endless shaft of stairs. I am the black flute I am the black flute your [vulva] lips refuse to play. I knock at your door, painted with the yellow hall light, and watch you drown in a sea of tears. That vegetating stillness, unbearable to watch. I love you like the rain that despairs against your window. The smallness of your back leaning. And the child falling. The humility of my body pillows the amphibian monster. And I run the panting sound of a long-time [dying]. Come out. Come out. Come out wherever your are, I am not Flash Gordon. Nor the silver chalice. I am the night of fate. Substance without form, sound without meaning. I am one hand clapping, scratching at your door. The yellow pup The yellow pup slips through your keyhole in self-clandestine fervor. Black satin. Fire engine. Amazon. Cry baby. Your eyes have not seen. Your ears have not heard but I wait. I wait underneath the staircase for you to come. Little mama Little mama, you know they say that fate is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Little mama Little mama, you've gotta trust me, [mama?]. Let not your eyes betray me like brimstone fire. I [lend] my hand and you smack my face in fear that I might touch you. Black satin. Amazon. Fire engine cry baby [Hey!] You are not starvation's child You are not starvation's child but your cup runneth over like love falling river. And the fire engines, see them in the wind. The fire engines fade as we melt into the mirror. (Ah...) (Ah...) (A-a-a-ah) (Ah...)
