Unpersons - Black Finnegan lyrics
rate meI.<br />
black finnegan—liar<br />
black finnegan—something insensate<br />
black finnegan—who walks slow tall and long in the dark room<br />
black finnegan—whose words <br />
<br />
commoving as the ocean<br />
undress things<br />
<br />
'you worse than senseless things,' you<br />
black finnegan, who sleeps in back of the tavern…<br />
<br />
II.<br />
dead man<br />
stolen words<br />
birds circle you <br />
madman's devotion<br />
<br />
black finnegan<br />
stolen words<br />
breathe in sin again<br />
drunkard's potion <br />
<br />
black finnegan—suit of salted words to the action<br />
black finnegan—who let the drink undress the words<br />
black finnegan—who sought the birds' motion to the words<br />
black finnegan—and again and again and again… <br />
III.<br />
who let the vultures undress me?
