I'm the original two-hearted brawler. I gnaw the scrawny heads from prawns, pummel those mute, translucent crustaceans, wingless hummingbirds, salt-water spawned. As the Catalonians do, I eat the eyes at once. My brawny palms flatten their mainstays. I pop the shells with my thumbs, then crunch.
Just watch me as I swagger and sprawl, spice-mad and sated, then dabble in lager before I go strolling for stronger waters down to Sloppy Joe's.My stride as I stagger shivers the islands, my fingers troll a thousand keys. My appetite shakes the rock of the nation. The force of my fiction makes the mighty Gulf Stream.
I caught the darkness It was drinking from your cup I caught the darkness from your little cup I said, Is this contagious? You said, Just drink it up.
I've got no future I know my days are few Ah, the present's not that pleasant just a lot of things to do I thought the past would last me but the darkness got that too
I should have seen it coming It was right behind your eyes You were young and it was summer I just had to take a dive Winning you was easy, but darkness was the prize
I don't smoke no cigarettes I don't use the alcohol I ain't had much lovin' yet but that's always been your call. Hey, I don't miss it baby
I got no taste for anything at all
I used to love the rainbow and I used to love the view I loved the early morning and I pretended it was new But I caught the darkness, baby, And I got it worse than you
I caught the darkness, it was drinking from your cup I caught the darkness from your little cup I said, Is this contagious? You said, Just drink it up.
