Billy Pilgrim's Epitaph

from Box Elder by Larry Hirshberg

/

about

"Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt."

lyrics

When nature takes its course
She might reproduce on you
Probably get some juice on you
The seasons will come out in force
When nature takes its course

When the world becomes itself
You might walk with burning feet
On the sand of no retreat
The spider’s hiding on the shelf
When the world becomes itself

When the fuel begins to light
Balance wavers in the fumes
Children cry in bluish rooms
Centuries and seconds fight
When the fuel begins to light

Unexpected, un-elected
Your lips, tulips, how we wreck it.
Toxic shadows, we’re not mad, though…
Then we go again.

Echoes in a paper mine
Billy Pilgrim’s epitaph
Vonnegut sleeps on that path
Everything’s unstuck in time
Echoes in a paper mine

When nature takes its course
She might reproduce on you
Probably get some juice on you
The seasons will come out in force
When nature takes its course
