Indo china, Capa jumps Jeep, two feet creep up the road
To photo, to record meat lumps and war,
They advance as does his chance ?

very yellow white flash.
A violent wrench grips mass, rips light, tears limbs like rags,
Burst so high finally Capa lands,
Mine is a watery pit. Painless with immense distance

VERSE 3 (same tab as verse 2) :
3:10 pm, Capa pends death, quivers, last rattles, last chokes
All colours and cares glaze to grey, shrivelled and stricken to dots,
Left hand grasps what the body grasps not ? le photographe est mort.
VERSE 4 :
3.1415, alive no longer my amour, faded for home May of '54
Doors open like arms my love, Painless with a great closeness
To Capa, to Capa Capa dark after nothing,
re-united with his leg and with you, Taro -
CHORUS :
-o-o-o
A Capela :
Do not spray into eyes ? I have sprayed you into my eyes.
Hey Taro!
