On black... and white... de Paulo Medeiros

House In The Clouds

I left my house in the clouds
I walked into someone's afterlife
She kept a pill in her hand
To take when we were about to land

Did you try
To let it go on by?
Did you try?
The Needles and the Uniforms
A schoolgirl and a unicorn
Eclipse a love with a loss
I sought comfort in her underwear
I shaved my face twice a day
Those crazy lambs
They will suffocate

Did you cry
Or let it go on by?
Did you cry?
The aftertaste of something warmer
Of schoolgirls and of unicorns

Did you try to let it go on by?
Did you try?
The schoolgirl and the unicorn
The Needles and the Uniforms;

I washed her face in the rain
I will return to that place again
Back to my house in the clouds
Back to my house in the clouds
