I have been stripped of a layer of meaning

 I fell through the floor, watched you rise through the ceiling

 She's so high, higher than thought can think

 A mere sprite, like one of the nubilate, so hold tight

 She radiates light from her jokes, it's what men prefer

They need the centre of things

 The centre of things

I watched them packing up all Sunday morning

 The day of the fourth and they fled without warning

 It's so bright, the sun almost burns your eyes

 A cruel fight, I feel I can sympathise famine

 It pours over boiling words, it's more than we deserve

Love is a beautiful curse

 A beautiful curse

She said "I'm stained like a girl from the bowrie"

 I pay my respects to her hourly

I'm just so clumsy and circumspect, never know what it meant

 Perhaps it was heaven sent

 She's so high, this kitten on gasoline

 And codeine, fuelled by her medicine

 She lies back

"Handsome" she says again "You've always been my friend

Lord, it's the loveliest day

 The loveliest day"

I have been stripped of a layer of meaning

 I fell through the floor, watched you fly through the ceiling

 And I find, you're finer than porcelain

 Or bromide on silver gelatin in blue sky

 She's carried by seraphim, aptly named vallium

Into the arms of the night

 The arms of the night
