The Cemetery of Hearts

It was a Cemetery of Hearts
laid out in neat rectangular squares
tombstone engravings of individual stories;

all buried in Innocent's Ground
from whence they came.

I peered at the writing on first tombstone and then some others:

'He led me on and then made love to my mother

'I died in childbirth alone after having been exiled
from my home to a nunnery.'

'She plotted against me with my best friend.'

Who Do You Love

I walked 47 miles of barbwire
Use a cobra snake for a necktie
I got a brand new house on the roadside
Made outta rattlesnake hide
I got a brand-new chimney up on top
Made out of a human skull
Now come on take a little walk with
Me honey and tell me who do you love
Chorus:
Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love
Tombstone hand on graveyard vine
Just 32 and I dont mind dyin
I roda a lion to town use a
Rattlesnake whip
Take it easy arlene dont give me no lip
Who do you love
Chorus

When I am dead and buried, on my tombstone I would like to have it written, 'I have arrived.' Because when you feel that you have arrived, you are dead.

Fame - a few words upon a tombstone, and the truth of those not to be depended on.
