If you´re never sorry
Then you can´t be forgiven
If you´re not forgiven
Then you can´t be forgotten
If you´re not forgotten
Then you can live forever
If you live forever
Then you´ll begin to dream
Of death...

Ezra pound sat upon my bed
Asked me which books as of late I´ve read

Ezra pound sat upon my bed
Asked me which books as of late I´ve read
Asked me if I´ve read his own
And whether I could spare a pound
Of flesh to cover his bare bones
I says, man, take a pound, take two
What´s a pound of flesh between
Friends like me and you?
What´s a pound of flesh among friends?

But if you´re never sorry...

If you´re never sorry
Then you can´t be forgiven
If you´re not forgiven
Then you can´t be forgotten
If you´re not forgotten
Then you must live forever
If you live forever
You cannot be reborn
If you´re not reborn then
You can´t be a baby
If you´re not a baby
You can´t learn how to crawl
If you cannot crawl away
Then you must stay in bed all day
If you stay in bed all day
You´re sure to have some visitors

Ezra pound´ll sit upon your bed
Ask you which books as of late you have read
Ask you if you´ve read his own
And whether you could spare a pound
Of flesh to cover his bare bones
You´ll say, man, take a pound, take two
What´s a pound of flesh between
Friends like me and you?
What´s a pound of flesh among friends?...
