Lorraine opening Poem Lyrics

    Seven blonde women
    They gather in the square
    They raise their hands up to the sun
    Their skin is so thin and white
    You know their fathers must surely be wealthy
    I watch the others stand around and form a crucifix
    A serpent of vapor
    Some stray birds rise
    The one on the end, the fine one on the end
    She called me over, she pulled me aside
    She said, you know, i have to make it all look different
    It seems that every time i lay down
    On it, and its like a snake in water
    And when i look out of it,
    It's like the one from last week
    Was breathing again
    And she said she had some white light
    You know, she said that she had some morphine
    But she didn't have no gimmicks
    So she just took this razor
    And she laid it on a white vein
    And then she took a black orchid
    And she just ripped apart that flower
    And then she took the white light
    Then she said, hey, later for the morphine
    She took the razor and slit open her white vein
    She slit open her white vein
    She put the flower through the slit vein
    She poured the white light through the red stem
    She put the white light through the red stem
    She just poured it through the red stem
    I was talkin' with my angel
    I was talkin' with my angel then . . .
