Gorgeous/Grotesque

There's nothing more gorgeous or grotesque than the sight of the garbage dumped on the sides of the railroad tracks

In the morning, on my way to work, I see them- little lumps- just glittering in the sunshine

What a messy way to say thank you

What a messy way to say anything

Oh, we need a closenessThere's nothing more helpless or hopeless than the birds of the city streets, with the dirt on their heavy wings

In the evening, on my way to sleep, I hear them- screaming out into a bitter melody

What a messy way to say thank you

What a messy way to say anything

Oh, we need a closeness'Cause when I wake

I am so far from reach

I am so far fromAh, we need a closeness, a harmless closeness

Oh we need a closeness, a harmless closeness!
