Are you shivering? Are you cold?*
Are you bathed in silver or drowned in gold?*
This dream's a vitality*
With filaments as fine as a spider's web*
Pour through your mouth*
That pour through your mouth*
O river of silver, O river of flowers*
I lie down and shiver in your silver river*
Out drips the last drop of this vital fluid*
Our life has grown weary*
The stars have grown old*
Are you still shivering?*
Are you still cold?*
Are you loathsome tonight?*
Does your madness shine bright?*
Are you loathsome tonight?*
In the oceans of the moon*
Swimming squidlike and squalid*
This bright moon is a liquid*
The dark earth is a solid*
This is moon music in the light of the moon
