I've got to get you out here.
The cop's got erudition--
he'll read me Yeats in prison.
He called you on his cell phone
cos baby you're my love jones.
I'm out here on a mission--
it's pigeon superstition.
Three steps left will make you be
my bitchin love eternally;
and if that fails, then turn around,
and magnetize you downtown.
If you come and if we fall,
we'll look like ants but feel like gods.
We won't blame the Irish cop
if we come to a sudden stop.
Backwards counting down by threes
will bring your smokin' self to me.
It's not infatuation fiction--
it's pigeon superstition.
It's you and me and Walden too,
that's what superstition do.
