Our father which art in Heaven,
Stay there,
And we shall stay on Earth
which is sometimes so pretty.

Our father who art in heaven
Stay there
And we will stay here on earth
Which is sometimes so pretty

An orange on the table
Your robe on the carpet
And you in my bed
Sweet present of the present
Coolness of the night
Warmth of my life.

It's terrible
the faint sound of a hard boiled egg firmly cracked on a tin counter
it's terrible this faint sound
when it stirs the memory of a starving man
