E Is Missing

E is missing he's not in his room
Rome is no longer behind him

The gris-gris heard there was water on Mars
And he's on his way to fix it
His fingernails are missing, one through ten
And there's ink all over the place

Nowhere was not here nowhere's not there
Nowhere is nowhere

His soul's in the corner very uptight
It's ugly but it's not meant to be

A derelict lighthouse signalling men
In shipwrecks under the ocean

Secret bruises from a writing machine
Dismantled in a winter landscape
His fingernails are missing, one through ten
And there's ink all over the place
