Oh...oh, down it goes.
XTC, The Man Who Murdered Love, Wasp Star
I want the man who murdered love.
I want the man who gave me an ice cream cone. It melted, and killed my sweet red polka-dotted dress. I want the man who gave me kisses, the stars, and grew trees. He was a caring vendor who planted miracles on a green hill. I want the girl who smiled back at him. I want her: the girl with eyes alive, with hair as long as the tunnel to her heart, with cheeks filled with sore happiness. She broke a mirror one day -skipped away to the nearest chest and locked herself up, along with those letters, and felt pens-, and disappeared. I am still looking for her, and if she calls, tell her I love, and miss her terribly.
