about

A song inspired by Michael Ondaatje’s 'Coming Through Slaughter'.

lyrics

Tell Me 'bout Magnets, Webb.
(Music & Lyrics by Paul Cargnello)

The virgins of speak balance the words on their tongue
with a meaning so cruel they will eat their young
The king of quarters drops his fortune into the slot
he needs to hear all the songs aboutwho he`s not
Broken fingers poke and broken eyes look
you can never retake what you already took
Tell me ‘bout Magnets, Webb.

The fifth of May I wear that day like a mask
the agelessness of death my name engraved on a flask
I never knew but boy, I did talk
even without the key I would unlock
I lived in the mud and I dreampt only of you
my life an endless mystery without a clue
Tell me ‘bout Magnets, Webb.
