The beginning. Reggie and June, Magali's parents meet. Children themselves, they conjugate with little foresight.
lyrics
Reggie and June, glued stars to each other’s thighs, constructing new constellations. Reggie and June, spent many nights awake late, re-applying these new formations.
And the tacky tikki torch lit up young lovers’ home-made horror scopes.
Chorus
Deep space explorations tuka too yuuk tooook.
Moonlight conjugations
The grammar of constellations tuka too yuuk tooook
The language of procreation
Reggie and June, spent most of July, between Aphrodite’s august thighs.
’Til Reggie and June, learned to syncopate sighs, and dream of the night their childhood would die.
And the tacky tikki torch lit up young lovers racing towards their ancient and limbic hopes.
Chorus
And now it’s twenty past three and there’s four naked knees, the room is alight. And I think you’ll agree that with four naked knees our young lovers are in for a fright. And the tacky tikki torch lit up young lovers’ knock-kneed and clumsy gropes.
Chorus
And now it’s three twenty five and their eyes will collide on this merry-go-round and go round and go round and go round and go round. And at three twenty six Reggie wished he’d been warned that his merry-go-round could come unwound.
And the ticky tocky spring sprang loose which was a distinct and unpleasant awakening for June.
