Lyrics to:
Babelogue
From Easter
By Patti Smith



I haven't fucked much with the past, but I've fucked plenty with the future. 
Over the skin of silk are scars from the splinters of stations and walls I've caressed. 
A stage is like each bolt of wood, like a log of Helen, is my pleasure. 
I would measure the success of a night by the way by the way by the amount of piss and seed I could exude over the columns that nestled the P.A. 
Some nights I'd surprise everybody by skipping off with a skirt of green net sewed over with flat metallic circles which dazzled and flashed. 
The lights were violet and white. I had an ornamental veil, but I couldn't bear to use it. 
When my hair was cropped, I craved covering, but now my hair itself is a veil, and the scalp inside is a scalp of a crazy and sleepy Comanche lies beneath this netting of the skin.
I wake up. I am lying peacefully I am lying peacefully and my knees are open to the sun.
I desire him, and he is absolutely ready to seize me. In heart I am a Moslem; in heart I am an American;
In heart I am Moslem, in heart I'm an American artist, and I have no guilt.
I seek pleasure. I seek the nerves under your skin. 
The narrow archway; the layers; the scroll of ancient lettuce.
We worship the flaw, the belly, the belly, the mole on the belly of an exquisite whore. 
He spared the child and spoiled the rod. I have not sold myself to God.
