about

'Into the abyss...'

lyrics

So many chances/These lives of us/Rusty romances/And cities fled at midnight in the rain/No trade or dwelling/We end up selling/A car salesman I became/Pop dreams went down the drain/There is a shrine to Johnny Boy/It’s just a shelf/There‘s a wooden 1960s Tri-ang toy/And then my novel/My joy, my sorrow/‘A Chandler-esque comic fiction‘/(Thanks Matt for that description)/Whilst ‘No-one Ever Grew Up (Ever) Wanting To Be A Car Salesman‘/I became one/This is the song of the book of the film of the life/I’ll recycle ‘til I am done/‘Into the abyss‘/Mise-en-abyme/Reflected kisses/A dream within a dream within a dream/The idea rises/In myriad guises/Selling is in my bones/Buy one and take me home/We are all salesmen now
