song titles / lyrics

"nobody cares" by the IOD

take a walk and don't remark
at all the faces probing you
navigate the brilliant shapes
that pave the highways taking you
to solemn shrines, exploding limes
french mirages, dream collages
talk a stroll and then you'll know
the weather's fair and no one cares

come with me to liquored seas
where all penumbras wilt for you
and don't forget to pack your knees
and don't recoil in pinkish soils
for in the end, we'll see again
the waves of egg-like haloed men
and then you'll breathe and then you'll sleep
on jeweled chairs, but no one cares

soon the night will slip its frown
before your eyes that run from you
and cloaked within its evening gown
the sound will bleed in reds, in blues
so as you exit through the hall
remember who it was who called
to take you past the whispered stares
to perfumed worlds where no one cars
