Gideon's Bible

John Cale

Holding on, with both eyes, to things that don't exist

Peering through the cutting wrist, at grand old mother greedy

Rolling out the cotton ship, upon the carpet pillow

Throttling children callously, a messy day with Clancy



Gideon lied and Gideon died

The force of China felt

Gideon smiled as Gideon died

The thought of China held.



Rolling out the golden robes and other foreign language

Stretching out the verbs and nouns together in the greeting

Some that felt the blade often, some deep confused emotion

Struck eye first against the wall of China under fire.



Gideon lied and Gideon died

The force of China felt

Gideon smiled as Gideon died

The thought of China held.
