lirik lagu jerome pradon – white sheets
i’ve never had a room that i could ever call my own
nor had the kind of bed where one could drown in sheets of snow
just narrow beds and folding cots are all i’ve ever known
the kind where one sleeps as though out of doors all cold and wind blown
when i was young i studied hard to get my lessons right
and in the dining room like a good boy night after night
i made my bed up in the corner, tucked myself in tight
and dreamed in technicolor far from everyday black and white
when i grew older i would hold my breath whеn sneaking home
to not disturb my parents with anothеr tale of woe
they had to rise for work before the dawn began to show
and naturally my paltry love affairs were never condoned
and so i went from town to town where nothing ever happened
through sorry suburbs hoping for a look, a gesture, something
someone, somewhere, somehow would make a new existence begin
and i’d escape the sort of life
my tired parents were living
it’s in white sheets that everything begins; everything ends
perfectly pressed, they join the folds of yellowing linens
never quite taken from the cedar chest of solemn nights
dry virgin sheets the witnesses to a dreary petty life
woe onto you who couldn’t bare to live only halfway
you who aspired to turn each day into a holiday
your lilac sheets were blossoming with deep purple flowers
mingling with poppies whose hearts were glistening with scarlet of clover, black carnations, bouquets of sage
and pink impatiens
ruby red roses
hyacinths were bound by their wicked fragrance in a
putrescent opera
i’ve known so many sheets worn old and thin before their time
sad hotel sheets imprinted with a field of flowering vines
as simple as the ones that bloom across the wall entwined
whose poison has decayed love after love since time out of mind
it’s in these washed out flowers that i learned to simplify
restraining all my passion, all my plans, my reasons why
i held those bodies, those few hearts that taught me how to cry
to heal my soul of all the errors that made me want to die
and there one day between those two dried polyester sheets
when i am least expecting it i’ll see you come to me
bringing those things that make a king of worst necessity
and in my dubious sheets true love will come to ruling glory
and laughing carelessly we’ll go to choose our very first pair
of pure white sheets like sails upon the sea of our desires
sails of a boat, veils of a bride and solemn as a prayer
perfumed with incense like the holy cloth laid upon the altar
it’s in white sheets that everything begins, everything ends
i wouldn’t know just how to seize my chance to comprehend
this irony that reigns tonight in total anarchy
white sheets are stained and violated
blacked and bl~~dy
woe onto you who couldn’t bare to live only half way
you who aspired to turn each day into a holiday
your lilac sheets were blossoming with deep purple flowers
mingling with poppies whose hearts were glistening with scarlet of clover, black carnations, bouquets of sage
and pink impatiens
ruby red roses
hyacinths were bound by there wicked fragrance in a
putrescent opera
