Girl from Mars - Ash

Saw her smoking to Girl from Mars

its suspect innocence from which

we should be reeling 

 

Whatever it was sent her 

'thirty feet high' into the singing ringing 

William Blake angel treetops

now crashing down on the mating pit

where the fuel unfurls and the 

cheap pigs ignite

 

Thrashing dutifully to some industrial murk

    - that guy says he's gonna do you after

     cause you pushed him 

    - he was too close to you

    - I can look after myself thanks

 

Edge off the broke and bouncing floor

away from the bug-eyed avenger 

planning to stab my face 

with bunched keys

or break my nose with an elbow jab

 

She's a magnetic force tonight

catch her snogging some stranger to 

Nirvana

          you'll tear them apart in the replay

based on soap operatic resolution

 

But you must avoid confrontation

    as the 

liquids lurch & the urge to confess all

to the 

simpatico

girl in the cloakroom window

 

The cold air and spinning planets 

    if I can find my way home

    So can you
