Silverlake Babies

Silverlake Babies
 we'll have Silverlake babies
 up from the reservoir
 hang by our fingers the fence that surrounds it
 under the night sky
 the lavender bright sky
 lonely and emptied of stars
 we'll saddle around
 to the clubs when we're up for it
 saddle around to the bars
 and huddle in close when we're ready for bed
 lullabye Philip K Dick
 we'll holler and shout
 while we rattle the cage
 climbing, our feet hooked in tiny spaces
 and I'll always wonder how lucky I've been
 you'll always wonder the same, the same, the same
 we'll have Silverlake babies
 up from the reservoir
 skating around and around in a circle
 buzzing the searchlight
 oh miracle spotlight
 lonely and emptied of stars
 we'll holler, shout,
 shake, and rattle the cage
 climbing, our feet stepped in tiny spaces
 and I'll always wonder how lucky I've been
 you'll always wonder the same, the same
 we'll have Silverlake babies
 Silverlake babies
