On the night that my love broke through On the night that my love broke through Revelations that came unglued On the night that my love broke through
Cell doors were opened Guards step out the way Prisoners got one acre of land and one year's pay Flowers longed since dead Stiffened at the neck Colors came back in green and yellow and in red
Unemployed cowboy staggered on Fairfax Trucks pulled up and fifteen men hollered and hopped in back
A copy of Bukowski at the bottom of the stack Got pickup by some dropout who read it front to back Shoving the death hand of his past!
Ants were crawling out of grimy bathtub drains Janitor was laughing he had finally gone insane City buses swerving arriving right on time Vending machines were selling white wine by the dime
Streetlights got a burst of electricity Sparks danced across windshields Like a grand finale
Metal detector's beeping Sound was deafening Everywhere bearded men dug up wedding rings We all stopped to listen to him sing!
On the night when my love broke through On the night when my love broke through Revelations that came unglued On the night when my love broke through On the night On the night On the night On the night
