lyrics

A lady, dying of diabetes,
Listened to the radio,
Catching the lesser dithyrambs,
So heaven collects its bleating lambs.

Her useless bracelets fondly fluttered,
Paddling the melodic swirls,
The idea of god no longer sputtered
At the roots of her indifferent curls.

The idea of the Alps grew large,
Not yet, however, a thing to die in.
It seemed serener just to die,
To float off in the floweriest barge.

Accompanied by the exegesis
Of familiar things in a cheerful voice,
Like the night before Christmas and all the carols,
Dying lady, rejoice, rejoice!
