Chiklets lyrics

Artist  : Patti smith 
Song : Chiklets
 

     by Patti Smith

last night i awoke up from a dream came face to
face with my face facing the 
tombstone teeth of a man called chiklets he came
down through the ages with 
the desperate beauty of a middleweight boxer came
beating the force field 
with elegant grace trying to get a perfect grip
there was no absolute grip 
he was in a sail boat a glass bottom boat the
bottom of a boat he was coming 
down through the ages sea molten sea spilling
down the tube the spiny eye of 
the village the spinal eye of the victim the
spiny eye like a question mark 
hovering over him what do you want what do you
want from him down on a dream 
too much unexplained what do you think do you
think there was an actual 
connection i can`t imagine a connection going
down there i can`t imagine any 
connection at all a boxing ring with gold ropes
soft desperate karat top 
spinning and coming down through the ages forty
one BC
