Luxury - Ginsberg Reading 'Howl'

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/899097
Like hearing Ginsberg reading “Howl”
Like language found inside your mouth
Like all those words blackened out
Like unread books on your shelves

Like a television always on
Like all opinions (every one!)
Like conversations with the dead
Like promises made in bed

Is it just me?

Like every gay bar in the Castro
Like reading Songs of Songs all alone
Like Jimmy Paulette in New York City
Like all the smiles on everybody

Like all the Resurrection jokes
Like quotes and quotes and quotes and quotes
Like all the speeches made with tears
Jug, jug, jug to dirty ears

Is it just me?

I walked out once more beneath the stars
Just waiting for the seas to part
I’m taking the wife and taking the kids
Taking them all away from this
