Exquisite Corpse Lyrics by J. Robbins

Basilisk

2023

Exquisite corpse is the name of a game
I’m not sure I want to play
The best intentions can all go astray
On any portion of that page

It’s a plot made entirely of twists
This brainchild basilisk
Together in one place, but none see the same
Shattered image, broken frame

A mystery play through the eyes of Man Ray
Drink the new wine, eat the deadly nightshade
Giving nothing away

Exquisite corpse lurches out of the grave
Mismatched head and arms and legs
And every part wants to go its own way
Issuing the others grades

A mystery play through the eyes of Man Ray
Drink the new wine, eat the deadly nightshade
Counting glass tears on a passionless face
Photogram outlines, negative space
Giving nothing away

Paper and pen for drawing lines
They separate what’s yours from mine
By design
And the game doesn’t teach trust with more time

A mystery play through the eyes of Man Ray
Drink the new wine, eat the deadly nightshade
Counting glass tears on a passionless face
Photogram outlines, negative space
Giving nothing away
