Verse 1
when hot Apollo pumps my back.
When Jack Frost grabs
me in these rags,
I wrap my legs with burlap bags.
My flesh is cinder, my face is snow,
I walk the railroad to and fro.
When city streets are black and dead,
the railroad embankment is my bed.

C
I give my body to an old gas tank
I dream that I have burning hair,
boiled arms that claw the air,
the torso of an iron king,
and on my back a broken wing,
who'll go out whoring into the
night on the eyeless road
in the skinny moonlight.
Nay, nor dowd, or athlete proud,
nay, wanton with me in the shroud.
Oh, come lie down in the dark with me,
