Everything goes

By way of my spiritless reasoning  
I take in what I see.      It’s just
territory marked by a neutered dog  
so I guess it all belongs to me.  
 
No one guards the gates tonight;  
the barbarian 's moving in,  
yeah, the holy creed kept shifting shapes  
now it’s anything goes again.  
 
Everything goes.  
 
Poet, cover my eyes describe what I see,  
but no one cares to hear  
unless there’s an image that gets into the skin  
and the drugs are in the air.  
 
“Follow me,” your blind kin say,  
“I’ll lead you where we need to be!”  
But there’s no one at the gates tonight,  
so the Barbarian will set us free.  
 
Everything goes.  
 
Everything goes by way of gravity  
Everything goes by way of time  
Everything buried tells a story,  
and dead things tell no lies.  
 
Every river flows to the ocean.  
Every body goes to the ground.  
Everything new is just discovered;  
the old, lost shit just got found,  
and it goes again.  
 
By way of my spiritless reasoning  
I take in what I see.  It’s just
territory marked by a rabid dog  
so you know it all belongs to me.
