Luyện nghe bài hát Lizard Play

(Hammill)

Frozen moment, cold time:
the Iguana is saying goodbye.
She's not quite ready, she to stay,
she to be perfect, but not in the way.
He to be cautious, one more cigarette,
he to be open, but the time is
not yet.

They talk poetry, life-stories too;
he to know if she keeps a pet or two.
into lizards, she's into snakes,
he's trauma - still got the shakes
from a who only talked dogs and cats
making love in the alley - she thought that....
So he doesn't notice he's in
to a change in colour of skin.

And the sun beats on the baking earth
in the land the lizards play.
And the tongues flick out - though they want to
all the get in the way.
And it's you and me and he and she
and it's I say.

Frozen vision, and dumb:
trying to work out what I've become.
I tried to reach you, I to score,
I the bolt on the open door...
the reaction, base metal to gold,
and all I felt was my froze...
I walked on - I was wearing skis -
and now the water must on me.

Anyway, for all that, you dance with me?
will you dance me?

And the sun beats down on the earth
in the land the lizards play.
And they shed skins and at last begin
to colours for the day.
Will you dance me?
