Centrefolds

(ANIMA SOLA, 2006. 16×20 oil on linen. Collection Mary and Kenneth King, NY)

Come on, Balthazar

I refuse to let you die

Come on, fallen star

I refuse to let you die

‘Cause that’s wrong

and I’ve been waiting for too long

that’s wrong

I’ve been waiting for too long

For you to be

Be mine

For you to be mine…

Be mine

For you to be mine…

and that’s wrong, I’ve been waiting for too long

That’s wrong, I’ve been waiting for too long

for you to be

All the centrefolds that you can’t afford

have long since waved their last goodbyes

All the centrefolds that you can’t afford,

you’ve long since faded from their eyes

So be

Be mine

So be

Be mine

PLACEBO,  “Centrefolds”
