In Flanders fields the poppies grow
Between the crosses, row on row
She's your little voodoo dolly
and she's gonna make you lazy
like the little drum in your ear
transfixes you to your fear
And now she's transfixed in your fear
and you know she's gonna stay there
because her nails are deep in your hair
and she made you so...unaware
Are you listening to your fear
the beat is coming nearer
like that little drum in your ear
transfixes you to your fear
She's such an ugly little dolly
and she's making you look very silly
and when you listen in to her ear
you get paralysed with her fear
Oh down...down in your fear
Now this little voodoo dolly
has made you very lazy
you're anaemic from her sucking
and when you're dead she'll find another
Better break that little dolly
and sling her in the corner
Now she's a sorry little dolly
such a sorry little dolly
Are you listening to your fear
the beat is coming nearer
like that little drum in your ear
transfixes you to your fear
Away from the dying rain
Far away from the pain washed drains
Under the darkening skies
Now under protecting lines
Beneath these unloved crimes
Relief is a gentle sigh
Dissolve these eyes so I may cry
Relief is a gentle sigh
High above the sickle moon
All senseless thought slips and drowns
A place, a time gone out of mind
Reaction swims the opal tide
Oh ferry me down, leave well alone
Ferry me down, turn to stone
Ferry me down, leave well alone
Ferry me down, turn to stone
Here within my phantom flesh
Welcome in the glowing guest
Far inside the absolute
Instinct leaves us standing mute
Oh ferry me down, leave well alone
Ferry me down, turn to stone
Ferry me down, leave well alone
Ferry me down, turn to stone
Heaven sent some dark marvel
Fool's gold as cold as marble
High above the sickle moon
Your hidden dreams chill and swoon
A place, a time gone out of sight
Pulse the blood statue of light
Oh ferry me down, leave well alone
Ferry me down, turn to stone
Ferry me down, leave well alone
Ferry me down, turn to stone
Ferry me down, leave well alone
Ferry me down, turn to stone
Ferry me down, leave well alone
Headhunters, headshrinkers and long distance runners
Dust gathers on momentoes-
Dust gathers on proud moments
Young voices grow thick and old
The cheers are distant wearing thin
Chorus:
Take it to the wall
to be hung on the wall, to be viewed by all
a tribute in the grand hall
Yes they're locked away or polished every day
for the maintenence man-in the back of a van
Oh young voices grow thick and old
The cheers are distant wearing thin
(Chorus)
Bring yourselves out from your showcase parties
But you've been shut away too long
you've been shut away too long
Frightened faces in the rain
Misplaced features run down the drain
Oh wash away and start again
This unrest beats out my breath
Disconnected thoughts jangle in a mess
This unrest crucifies my chest
Without anesthetic it cuts
Through tumorous flesh
This unrest beats out my breath
This unrest beats in my chest
Discordant limbs watch unimpressed
At the aimless walk, the mindless talk
The pictures leap out and dance for me
They laugh at me
As your bitterness closes in
You're feeling very old again
Ah, just to sleep, without these thoughts
But the angels shout, resurrecting doubts
Ah, we meet again, my trusty friend
Demanding new favors for old time's sake
Inside this captive frame
Oh, come and claim your liberty
Metal and flesh will fuse today
These visions jump out and blast my days
Clean away, clean away, clean away
Clean away, clean away, clean away
Clean away, clean away, clean away
Clean away, clean away, clean away
Hearing you in my sleep
Feeling you, your cadence seeps
Whispering in flashback
The specters of your memories
Fall in glistening showers
Such a tender descent
Intones this haunting lament
The sweetest chill
Fearing you but calling your name
Icy breath encases my skin
Fingers like a fountain of needles
Shiver along my spine
And rain down so divine
The sweetest chill
The sweetest chill
A drowning so sublime
Spins in a heavenly climb
Calling you, tears thaw my sleep
Wanting you, this hoary web is weaved
From this strange confusion
Grows a perverse communication
It enthralls me and coils me around
The sweetest chill
The sweetest chill
The sweetest chill
Enchantment ebbs and whirls
The sweetest chill
Enchantment ebbs and whirls
Staircase lying face up
Stare cat sat on the mat
Looking down, looking down
Slide down the banister
Take the escalator
Slide down the banister
Or try the elevator
I was standing on the landing
Now I'm standing in the hall
Looking up, up, up, up
Won't someone assist me
Solve this mystery
Somebody assist me
Arrange the symmetry
Muffled footsteps on the carpet
Spiral steps start spinning
Around me
Which floor, which ceiling
You're off balance
Which floor, which ceiling
It's all upside down
Staircase lying face up
Stare cat sat on the mat
Different lives in different places
Familiar problems same old faces
Shuffled lives into wrong categories
Cross the wires and fuse humanities
Watch the muscles twitch
For a brand new switch
Scientist G.P.'s
With patient guinea-pigs
Curing their head-aches
With drastic side-effects
With drastic side-effects
Doctor rectorates, rectorates
Condescending from on high
For all hallucinates
See druggist in the sky
In the sky
Vicar experiments
But 'tis blasphemy
Dismissing thought of progress
As the mark of devilry
As the mark of devilry
Watch the muscles twitch
For a brand new switch
People walk and even talk
People listen then they halt
Something blows up won't come down
Scattered muscles twitch too late to switch
They're dying to switch
They're dying to switch
Switch switch
Watch the muscles twitch
For a brand new switch
They're dying to switch
They're dying to switch
Switch
Watch the muscles twitch
For a brand new switch
They're dying to switch
They're dying to switch
Falling in your, falling in your, in your arms, in your arms
Fish on a line, learns to live on dry land
Thrown back again to drown
Kinder with poison than pushed down a well or a face burnt to hell
Feel the cruel stones breaking her bones
Dead before born, words fall in ruins but no sound
She's dying of your shame
She's maimed by your aim
He gives birth to swimming horses
He gives birth to swimming horses
Fish on a line, walking on dry land
But back in the water to drown
We drown
Floating in sky
He gives birth to swimming horses
He gives birth to swimming horses
Take a ride on the tide with the assassin at your side
The weightlessness under water
Forgets in slow motion
And washes pointless tortures
He gives birth to swimming horses
He gives birth to swimming horses
I'm sorry that I hit you
But my string snapped
I'm sorry I disturbed your cat-nap
But whilst finishing a chore
I asked myself, what for?
Then something snapped
I had a relapse
A suburban relapse
A relapse, relapse
I was washing up the dishes
Minding my own business
When my string snapped
I had a relapse
A suburban relapse
A relapse, relapse
Should I throw things at the neighbors
Expose myself to strangers?
Kill myself or you?
Now memory gets hazy
I think I must be crazy
But my string snapped
I had a relapse
A suburban relapse
A relapse, relapse
Now memory gets hazy
I think I must be crazy
But my string snapped
I had a relapse
A suburban relapse
A relapse, relapse
A suburban relapse
A suburban relapse
A relapse, relapse
Relapse, relapse
Relapse, relapse
Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Pastoral scene of the gallant south
Of the bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop
Been thinking how to escape?
This strait-jacket of constraint
Been thinking what can be wrong?
With feelings that long to belong
Stargazing me
in an upside down sea
So weary this strait-jacket dreamer
so resigned to continue to suffer
But you've learnt that as you grow weaker
there's less hurt because there's much less to hurt
Stargazing me
in a tumbling sea
Up in the galaxy
staring down on me
Stargazer reach out to touch
with your mind that frees you so much
Stargazer kissing your kismet
with bright jewel encrusted scars
Stargazing me
in tranquility
Up in the galaxy
From the cradle bars
comes a beckoning voice
it sends you spinning
you have no choice...
You hear laughter
cracking through the walls
it sends you spinning
you have no choice
Following the footsteps
of a rag doll dance
we are entranced
Spellbound
And don't forget
when your elders forget
to say their prayers
take them by the legs
and throw them down the stairs
When you think
your toys have gone beserk
it's an illusion
you cannot shirk
you hear laughter
cracking through the walls
it sends you spinning
you have no choice
Following the footsteps
of a rag doll dance
we are entranced
Softly into your broken veins
Softly into these broken dreams
Will you ever come home?
Will you ever be found?
Standing on shattered windowpane
Softly I whisper your name
Concealed in bedclothes of frosting cold
Softly the snowflakes start to fall
Fleecing the velvet skin
Suspended in frozen time
Icicles slowly drip outside
To the rhythm of your wounds here inside
I entered your dream, I entered your scheme
Softly to swim inside your veins
Softly in rippling cellophane
To float and glide in time
To the rushing in your brain
I wanted your lips, yes, I wanted your kiss
So softly the moment had flown
My body outside yours softly collects the falling snow
Get your head to the ground
Shake it all around a dirty sound
Put your knees into your face
And see if you can race real slow
It's a slowdive, when you die slow
Oh it's a low jive, do the slowdive
Get your head to the ground
Shake it all around a dirty sound
Put your knees into your face
And see if you can race real slow
And now you jump like a hound
Emit a howling sound
Dig those limbs into the floor
And holler out for more
And you revel in the dips
When your backbone slips
Taking honeysuckle sips
From your rolling hips
It shifts and it shifts
It's a slowdive, when you die slow
It's a low jive, do the slowdive
It's a slowdive, when you come alive
It's a low jive, do the slowdive
Slowdive, slowdive
Do the slowdive
Slowdive, slowdive
When you die slow
When you come alive
It's a low jive, do the slowdive
Slowdive, slowdive
Get your head to the ground
Shake it all around a dirty sound
Put your knees into your face
And see if you can race real slow
It's a slowdive, when you die slow
Oh, it's a low jive, do the slowdive
Sin in my heart
Sin in my heart...
sin in my heart flying like a dart
oh sin in my heart
It's beginning to start...
when you're lying like a tart
sin in my heart
when you grovel at my feet
oh sin in my heart
it's short and sweet
Sin in my heart...
swift as a dart sin in my heart
oh sin in my heart
When you grovel at my feet
keep it short and sweet
Mink, seal and ermine smother fat women
I have a noble cause for skin, there's just too many of them
The only necessary coat carries a brain inside its skull
Just a bitch in the manger to the balances of nature
Cover me with skin and accuse me of sin
But you know what I mean, there's just too many of them
Give me your skin for dancing in
Oh, give me your skin for dancing in
Hairless and streamline, fits like my own skin
Tattooed and sun-dyed, it's warm and it's human
There was too many of them, the animals like them
Shame about the smell but they're fine, steeped in perfume
Cover me with skin and accuse me of sin
Oh, but you know what I mean, there's just too many of them
Give me your skin for dancing in
Oh, give me your skin for dancing in
Skin, skin, skin, skin
Skin, skin, skin, skin
Cover me with skin and accuse me of sin
Oh, but you know what I mean, there's just too many of them
Give me your skin for dancing in
clouds roll by overhead
like giant rays coast a dried up ocean bed
dancing winds blow a parody
of swirling currents in a long forgotten sea
shimmer glimmer
shimmer on me
the sparkling souls of dreaming children call
shimmer glimmer
shimmer on me
in streets that shine like silver waterfalls
in your eyes in the skies
in the blood burning indian sunrise
shimmer on me (in sleep we grow)
we were here long ago
and now we roam like ghostly buffalo
first two lies then two tears
subtle curves, now glistening souveneirs
in your eyes in the skies
in the blood burning indian sunrise
shimmer on me (awake and glow)
shivering in silver waterfalls
Alone and left to ponder everything
Alone and left to puzzle out all the pain
Such a silly, silly, silly thing
You must catch it and cease it while you can
Accusations flying, colliding, cheek to cheek
Button up your lip and think before you speak
Oh, see him fly into a rage
And see her cry in her tantrum cage
Too blind to halt this stupid game
Silly thing
Silly thing
Now, all that's left is a feeling very grim
Alone and left to think about the stupid thing
Yes, she would fly into a rage
And he would cry in his tantrum cage
A replay of this dumb charade
Silly thing
Silly thing
I misunderstood you, I buried my head in sand
Please accept my feelings of remorse and take my hand
Such a silly thing, can destroy a man
For such a silly thing to come between such friends
Is hard to imagine or believe
Silly thing
Silly thing
Such a silly, silly, silly thing
You must catch it and cease it while you can
Silly, silly, silly thing
You must catch it and cease it while you can
And I know I never knew you
your mind your pain I will melt your winter tears
If you say you will
if you could say you will
Convalescing bruised I set my mind awake
dare to take another look
If you say you will
if you could say you will
King of moon gloomy afternoon
losing track of word & metre
Still shaking in this tear room
like a sick child
Still shaking nothing reconciled
like a sick child
Melancholia colliding out of mind
in a silver swirl I take a lungful in
Blow a fistful out if you could say you will
King of moon gloomy afternoon
losing track of word & metre
Make your final touch people talk too much
madman screams an unknown language
Still shaking in the tear room
like a sick child
Still shaking nothing reconciled
In the heart of the night
She smiles like Mardi Gras
Spinning in a dizzy haze
Her circus head giggles
It's a friendly disease
Catching colors from the air
So with your hands upon the hips
Of the dancing flesh
She's a carnival
And when it's lip to lip
In a surprise-time kiss
She's a carnival
She's a carnival
She's a carnival
Mosaic eye, gypsy eye
Glowing as it dazzles
She's a portrait of a poison
For you to quench your thirst
A portrait of a poison
So with your hands upon the hips
Of the dancing flesh
She's a carnival
And when it's lip to lip
In a surprise-time kiss
She's a carnival
She's a carnival
She's a carnival
The voice asleep, the voice has vanished
From the top of the sky to the place below
Touch the surface and the mirror bends
Your words resound, out of control
Freeze into time now
Still inside, yet doubt survives
It all begins, beneath the skin
No-one is near, no-one will hear
Your changeling song take shape
In shadow time
Shadow time
Turn your wish to a vapor, the silhouette fades
Eclipse your blue eyes, and the outline remains
From the house of the moon to the stars up above
Amidst the comets, first sight of love
So begins the countdown
Falling sky, a solar sigh
It all begins, beneath the skin
No-one is near, no-one will hear
Your changeling song takes shape
In the shadow time
Shadow time
Shadow time
Shadow time
Catching fire, taking hold
All that glisters leaves you cold
No-one is near, no-one will hear
Your changeling song take shape
In the shadow time
In shadow time
Shadow time
Shadow time
I've been thinking now for a long time
How to go my own separate way
It's a shame to think about yesterday
It's a shame, a shame, a shame, a shame
We've been running 'round in our present state
Hoping help will come from above
But even angels there make the same mistakes
In love, in love, in love, in love
Now that we are lonely
Life seems to get hard
Alone what a word lonely
Alone it makes me cry
Thought-train set in motion
Wheels in and around
Express our emotion
Tracks up, then it cracks down
We've been running 'round in our present state
Hoping help will come from above
But even angels there make the same mistakes
In love, in love, in love, in love
In love
He trembles in the bitter wind
Until it's time for us to speak
Whilst others here are sleeping sound
I'll slip away by floorboard creak
Upon the hill he'll hear my secrets
Shock the colors to bleach inside
Whilst others there are sleeping sound
Just we two will confide
Listen to his body moan
Make a wish and send us home
To spin the gold and silver stitches
We can turn his rags to riches
With frosty Jack on fingernail
Through shoe black smile he'll tell a tale
Come whisper through your lips of straw
A moment torn forever more
Listen to his body moan
Make a wish to send us home
To spin the gold and silver stitches
We can turn his rags to riches
My so called friends say you're not alive
I'll bake their bones for telling lies
Then pull the pastry from the pie
And pour the gravy in their eye
Listen to his body moan
Make a wish and send us home
To spin the gold and silver stitches
Just a step onto the street
An uncomfortable heat
Rattlers at your feet
In running town
Helter-skelter all a-swelter
The impetus is seething
In running town
A thousand curses
Full speed ahead
Lockjaw aggression
And buzzing irritations
Deride the friendly Martian
In running town
Helter-skelter all a-swelter
The impetus is seething in running town
A thousand curses
Full speed ahead
If you gaze into her face
She'll glare back and drown
All refugees in the sea
In running town
A thousand curses
Full speed ahead
Full speed ahead
Laughter rebounds
And strangles that sound
In running town
In the soil of are sadness
Hear our hearts bell a serenade
A faint choir tenderly shaping
A lament a hollow refuge
In the blood of the twinkling sky
Breathing in air drunk dry
There was once a time of rapture
All is lost a pale gleaming
Across this crooked land
Runs a crooked man
Our loved ones die under the hammer
Of the Soviet sun
Nothing can erase this night
But there's still light with you rhapsody
And if we can never see the sun
There's still light with you rhapsody
And I have seen all I want to
And I have felt all I want to rhapsody, rhapsody
But we can dream all we want to
We can dream all we want to, rhapsody oh, rhapsody
And I have seen all I want to
And I have felt all I want to
But we can dream all we want to
Yes we can dream all we want to
Rhapsody
In the soil of are sadness
Hear our hearts bell a serenade
A faint choir tenderly shaping
A lament a hollow refuge
Rhapsody oh, rhapsody
Rhapsody, rhapsody
There's still light with you
There's still light with you rhapsody
It's all we want to, it's all we want to
Rhapsody oh, rhapsody
Wonder where that plane is leading to
Wonder where that boat will ever stop
Wonder if this path I am treading
Will disappear and let me drop
Down to a pen that's surely waiting
Down to the hell I know that I deserve
Even though the spirit is willing
The flesh is blackened to the deepest nerve
When will you learn?
The hurting, it will return
When will you ever learn?
This feeling is all you can discern
Oh my heart, it is a-broken
More than waste upon the golden sand
Fly my love on wings of mute confusion
Oh, in Never-Ever land
When will you learn?
When will you ever learn?
The hurting, it will return
This feeling is all you can discern
When will you learn?
When will you ever learn?
This feeling is all you can discern
The hurting always will return
Return
Tongues are clacking words of one vision
One tiny incision and teeth are cracking
On thin air, on thin air
And teeth are cracking on thin air
Pulled to bits in silence
Left rotting on the ground
Slowly pulled to bits in silence
Without a sound, without a sound
Buildings bleached with shatter, shatter, clatter
Fill their senses with cement
Watch the people scatter
One by one, one by one
Pulled to bits in silence
Left rotting on the ground
Slowly pulled to bits in silence
Without a sound, without a sound
Young lungs snapping coming up for air
The mindless ones yapping, slashing through the thoroughfare
One by one, one by one
Oh one by one without a fucking care
Pulled to bits in silence
Left rotting on the ground
Slowly pull to bits in silence
Without a sound, without a fucking sound
Pulled to bits, yackety, yackety, yack, yack, yack
Pulled to bits, shatter, shatter, shatter, clatter
Pulled to bits, yap, yap, yap, yapping
From the fury pit, a reek of misery
Like a trumpet groan, tornado moan
The splendor splits like a golden skin
He and the wizards cry like hummingbirds
In treasure glows, your weeping wings
And a slaughter grins, on a pleasure spike
When held on high by the riverside
Like a torn-throat child in a jackals hide
Cool water dies, vile diamond eyes
Silent in flamingo ease distant in troubled trance
Within a whirlpool, we're breaking our backs
The tears of the moon, the sweat of the sun
Sacrificial hearts for a pointing bone
With a gorgons head and a coal of skulls
They're kindling fires in open wounds
Pointing bone, in a jaguar skin, blood matted mane
Monitor outside
For the people inside
A prevention of crime
A passing of time
They come and they go
It's a passing of time
They come and they go
Whilst we sit in our homes
Sit back and enjoy
The real McCoy
Our new air of authority
Our sentinel of misery
His facewas full of intent
And we shook with excitement
Then the victim stared up
Looked strangely at the screen
As if her pain was our fault
But that's entertainment
What we crave for inside
No more second rate movies
Hanging, hanging, hanging
Hanging from your daisy chains, swinging in the trees
Running from your enemies and falling on your knees
And falling on your knees, on your knees, on your knees
Get down on your knees
Throw the dice, you three blind mice
Did you ever see such a thing in your life?
You swallow the trail but still arrive inside your entrails
Hanging, hanging, hanging
Hanging out at party games, dancing in the shadows
Up and down on the see-saw, balancing the scales
Balancing the scales, you're drunk, you're drunk
Yet you're balancing the scales
Someone to blame, someone to shame
Someone who you can claim
Go back the to pass the parcel and follow the leader
Hanging, hanging, hanging
Hanging from your climbing frames, swinging in the gallows
Laughing with your buddies but you can drown when you're shallow
You can drown when you're shallow, you can drown
Drown, drown, drown, drown, drown, drown, drown,
My eyes went up to heaven
You didn't say I'd be blind
Without them
Icons, feed the fires
Icons, falling from the spires
Thine eyes rain down from heaven
You always said I'd be blind
Without them
Icons, feed the fires
Icons, falling from the spires
Icons, feed the fires
Icons, falling from the spires
Those words hang like vicious spittle
Dribbling from that tongue
Close your eyes to your lies
Force feed more pious meat
Those nebulous codes and disciplines
Stick in that new born throat
Instill a lie, an artificial eye
To view a perfect land
Icons, feed the fires
Icons, falling from the spires
Icons, feed the fires
Icons, falling from the spires
Can I stick skewers in my skin
And whirl a dervish spin?
Can I set myself on fire
To prove some kind of desire?
Icons, feed the fires
Icons, falling from the spires
Icons, feed the fires
Icons, falling from the spires
The guilt is golden
The guilt is golden
Those ageless lies
The shuttered eyes
It's the night piece
It's the icon
Icons, feed the fires
Icons, falling from the spires
Icons, feed the fires
Icons, falling from the spires
The guilt is golden
The guilt is golden
Golden, golden
It's a hybrid of me, I'm a hybrid of he
You're a misfit of me, I'm a misfit of you, in limbo
Carbon copies run blue, a reminder for you
But they're only skin deep, crumpled shells in a heap, marked 'Cheap'
Surrogate heads of a no-no domain
Shoulders form rows to make waves again catch the next plane
When you walked through that door marked 'Enter if you dare'
Reasoned with a friend marked 'Do not bend'
Bit on that finger marked 'Handle with care'
A tear soiled your cheek, a broken finger on the floor
A mess in sawdust, a shop window burst, no repairs
It's a hybrid of me, I'm a hybrid of he
You're a misfit for me, I'm a misfit for you in limbo
Do you speak the lingo in limbo?
It's a hybrid of me, I'm a hybrid of shame
You're a misfit of me, I'm a misfit of you in limbo
Harmful elements in the air
Symbols clashing everywhere
Reaps the fields of rice and reeds
While the population feeds
Junk floats on polluted water
An old custom to sell your daughter
Would you like number 23?
Leave your Yens on the counter please
Hong Kong Garden
Hong Kong Garden
Tourists swarm to see your face
Confucius has a puzzling grace
Disoriented you enter in
Unleashing scent of wild jasmine
Slanted eyes meet a new sunrise
A race of bodies small in size
Chicken Chow Mein and Chop Suey
Hong Kong Garden take away
Only at night time---I see you
in darkness---I feel you
A bride by my side---I'm inside many brides
Sometimes I wonder......
What goes on in your mind, always silent and kind
unlike the others...
Fuck the mothers kill the others
Fuck the others kill the mothers
I'll put it out of my mind because...
I'm out of my mind with you
in heaven and hell with you...
My Night Shift Sisters
await your nightly visitor
they don't bother me
no they don't bother me
The cold marble slab submits at my feet
with a neat dissection...
looking so sweet to me--please come to me
with your cold flesh--my cold love
hissing--not kissing
a happy go lucky chap--always dressed in black
he'll come to you, he'll come to you
My Night Shift Sisters
with your nightly visitor
a new vocation in life
my love with a knife
Fuck the mothers kill the others
Fuck the others kill the mothers
I'll put it out of my mind because...
I'm out of my mind with you
It's just a habit when I reach to the packet
For my last cigarette, until the day breaks
Then my hand shakes
But, but, but, but, but, but
It's just driving me insane
When the smoke gets in my brain I can't resist it
Wallow in that ash bath
Soaking up the fumes
And see the nicotine stain
Start to spread
I'm so congested 'cos north, south, east and west
Catarrh rests on my chest, congealed and twisted
Cough up and shift it
But I can feel my lungs collapse
Sinking deep into my lap
I'm so useless
Wallow in that ash bath
Soaking up the fumes
And see the nicotine stain
Start to spread
I'm so useful if you don't want to fight
Just give your foe a fright
Say you'll drop me on every country
See, see, see, see
All will be stone dead
When the nicotine stain spreads
Just light me
Wallow in that ash bath
Soaking up the fumes
And see the nicotine stain
Start to spread
It's in my hand
It's in my hand
N-n-nicotine spread
I'm just a vision on your TV screen
Just something conjured from my dream
Seen through your x-ray eyes, a see-through scene
The image is no images, it's not what it seems
My limbs are like palm trees swaying in the breeze
My body's an oasis to drink from as you please
I'm not seeing what I'm meant to believe in
Your non excuse for human being
It's quite plain to see that I'm playing with me
A photo-fit of loose ends, framed in 3-D
Seen through your x-ray eyes, a see-through scene
The image is no images, it's not what it seems
My limbs are like palm trees swaying in the breeze
My body's an oasis to drink from as you please
I'm not seeing what I'm meant to believe in
Your non excuse for human being, being, being
My limbs are like palm trees swaying in the breeze
My body's an oasis to drink from as you please
I'm not seeing what I'm meant to believe in
Your non excuse for human being
It's not what it seems
The image is no images
It's not what it seems
Reunion begins with a glass of mercury
Television flickers
With a another news bulletin
Flints light up the eyes of the seated family
Metal is tough, metal will sheen
Metal won't rust when oiled and cleaned
Metal is tough, metal will sheen
Metal will rule in my master scheme
Oh, with a clockwork jerk pluck cogs from fob watches
For dinner on Friday
Then recoiling say "Excuse me
Must go recycle my precious machinery"
Metal is tough, metal will sheen
Metal won't rust when oiled and cleaned
Metal is tough, metal will sheen
Metal will rule in my master scheme
It's ruling our lives, there is no hope
Thought I'd drop a line, the weather here is fine
But day and night it blares
Commanding through loudspeakers
Metal is tough, metal will sheen
Metal won't rust when oiled and cleaned
Metal is tough, metal will sheen
Metal will rule in my master scheme, in my master scheme
Metal is tough, metal is clean
Metal, metal, come on metal
Come on, come on metal
You are the melting men, you are your situation
There is no time to breathe and yet one single breath
Leads to an insatiable desire of suicide in sex
So many blazing orchids burning in your throat
They're making you choke, making you sigh
Sigh in tiny deaths
So melt!
My lover, melt!
She said, "Melt!"
My lover, melt!
You are the melting men and as you melt
You are beheaded, handcuffed in lace, blood and sperm
Swimming in poison, gasping in the fragrance
Sweat carves a screenplay of discipline and devotion
So melt!
My lover, melt!
She said, "Melt!"
My lover, melt!
Can you see, see into the back of a long black car
Pulling away from the funeral of flowers
With my hand between your legs
You're melting
She said, "Melt!"
My lover, melt!
She said, "Melt!"
My lover, melt!
So melt!
My lover, melt!
She said, "Melt!"
Chasing a monsoon over the dune
Oh, fly me to the moon, get me there soon
I don't have to prove, I'll last longer than you
One hump or two, any handicap will do against you
I'll be there soon over the moon
I'll be there soon over the moon
Over the moon, over the moon
Chasing a monsoon over the dune
The lunacy will leave the day
Luminous in flight
As the moon spits out in jagged
Beams another night
Wrap around this brilliant veil
Tranquil and unbroken
As you spiral down, a world of clay
And taut convulsion
The dream swan spins
And cartwheel turns
Down deep within your violet side
The sun begins to rise
Shaking down its morning swords
To thaw your frozen eyes
The dream swan spins
And so conceal the heart
That aches and yearns
Oh, hush awhile, sleepless child
I'll be watching over you
I'll be watching over you
I'll be watching over you
I smash the glass into my face
cutting through to my disgrace
disregard for bone and flesh
how can I be in such a mesh of unlikeliness?
I smash my likeness
At my fingertips
with this blade turned in on me
Cutting an ancient tree
A cutter in a forest of industry
upturning usurping
Love me hate me help me
save me from me
Hold me hurt me stop me
take this love out me
Anger tinged with sadness
it's always been like this
Place the dagger 'twixt my breast
my nearest and dearest
I hurt it I hurt me
hurt everything around me
There's nothing no trace
still cutting to find the place
Love out me! Love out me!
Anger tinged with sadness
It's always been like this
No nothing no one no more
No no no no I can't take this
Love me hate me help me
save me from me
Hold me hurt me stop me
Here I sit in paradise
My head between my hands
Little sister, break your vow
Break down, the sacred side
Little sister, break the rules
Break me in two
Will hopes ever fill your eyes?
Look before I sleep tonight
Little sister, now you're gone
Let's just say it's a mercy kill
But little sister, you've left me
Howling at the moon
If you touched my heart
You might be surprised
You'd be paralyzed
If you touched my heart
A truth might lie disguised
You'd be paralyzed
Just once little sister
Come take this hand at twilight's door
I'll meet you there we'll share the moonlit floor
Through the driving rain, colors run in veins
Ozone fills the air, two figures disappear
Come let's take flight, let's quit this scene tonight
Whilst they sleep on endless, in their wrecked designs
Sleep on endless in your wrecked designs
Moths touched by flame repeat their fatal game
Forever and eternally, the cliffs around the crashing sea
Unsolved and endless, wait for me
Undulating far below, where lucid waters flow
Their faces seem to know
Where the land falls to an end
This hidden tale begins
Take a walk with me down by the sea
Moths touched by flame repeat their fatal game
Forever and eternally, the cliffs around the crashing sea
Unsolved and endless, wait for me, wait for me
Take a walk with me down by the sea
Take a walk with me down by the sea
Take a walk with me down by the sea
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk with me down by the sea
Send me forwards, say my feelings
But all the signals, send me reeling
Jigsaw feeling
One day I'm feeling total
The next I'm split in two
My eyes are doing somersaults
Staring at my shoe
My brain is out of my hand
There's nothing to prevent
The impulse is quite meaningless
In a cerebral non-event
Send me forwards, say my feelings
But all the signals, send me reeling
Jigsaw feeling
Five fingers do my walking
Ten toes unravel knots
Amorphous jigsaw pieces
Falling into slots
Send me forwards, say my feelings
But all the signals, send me reeling
Jigsaw feeling
So I just sit in reverie
Getting on my nerves
The intangible bonds that keep me
Sitting on the verge
Of a breakdown
Of a reaction
Of a result
Defeat me, complete me, maybe
Defeat me, defeat me
Little orphans in the snow
With nowhere to call a home
Start their singing
Waiting through the summertime
To thaw your hearts in wintertime
That's why they're singing...
Waiting for a sign to turn blood into wine
The sweet taste in your mouth--turned bitter in its glass
Israel...in Israel
Israel...in Israel
Shattered fragments of the past
Meet in veins on the stained glass
Like the lifeline in your palm
Red and green reflects the scene
Of a long forgotten dream
There were princes and there were kings
Now hidden in disguise--cheap wrappings of lies
Keep your heart alive with a song from inside
Even though we're all alone
We are never on our own when we're singing
There's a man who's looking in
And he smiles a toothless grin
Because he's singing...
See some people shine with glee
But their song is jealousy
Their hate is clanging--maddening
In Israel...will they sing Happy Noel
Israel...in Israel
Israel...in Israel
Into the line
I see it fine
Into the line
Our hearts entwine
Remember when
Your time again
Standing in the light
Always sitting in the line
Newer on a side
Always wanting to be right
Standing in the light
I never wanted to be right
Now I'm attracted to be light
And blinded by the sight
Dead ahead in the night
Burning in the light
And knowing that it's right
Driving in the night - Dead ahead in the light...
Into the light...
Into the light
I see it fight
Into the light
A new horizon
Bleached into white
Kept out of sight
I get feeling, I'm not alone
I get feeling, it's someone I don't know
Do you ever have strange sensation
When you're standing mighty tall
To jump from seventeen floors
And crash into free fall?
But then fear, fear, fear takes control
Fear, fear, fear of the unknown
Imagine two complete strangers
Who suspect they were meant to be
Both in need of love and affection
Yet their suspicions prevent something heavenly
Fear, fear, fear takes control
Fear, fear, fear of the unknown
Aware of what will hurt you
You're prepared to remain this way
So sad yet safe with your afflictions
Afraid to start a brand new day
We all get the strangest feeling
When we're standing mighty tall
To jump from seventeen floors
And crash into free fall
But then fear, fear, fear carries all
Fear, fear, fear of the unknown
Fear, fear, fear takes its toll
Fear, fear, fear of the unknown
Aware of what will hurt you
You're prepared to remain this way
So sad yet safe with your afflictions
Happy in solitude
secure there's no-one to depend on
Scorning alms & good luck charms
staring down to the rocks below
I was the lonely one
I didn't want no-one
An odyssey so solitary
carries you forth to collide with me
Recognised familiar signs
we're hypnotised on the turning tide
You were the lonely one
who didn't want no-one
I was the lonely one
I didn't want no-one
Here I stand on the shifting sand
waves of lassitude wash inland
The lonely cry of a seagull flies
into my mind and recalls a time
when I was the lonely one
who didn't want no-one
You were the lonely one
no we didn't want no-one
Hear my hymn calling the lonely one
I am stone and I am blade
A sharp eternal instant
A darker heart a distant moan
pleasures' deep and spectral instinct
Look me in the eye
speak it to my face
My hate is cold
As I fall from grace
So wish away my gravity
a curse the one and only
lay terror tight unholy flight
bear witness to the descent
Yet nothing is forever
So come nearer and confess
but like a tender bruise
temptation waits in one caress
Look me in the eye
speak it to my face
My hate is cold
As I fall from grace
Cast me out and save your soul
from madness rhyme and reason
You banish doubt I'll spread the fear
you'd better start believing
Look me in the eye
speak it to my face
My hate is cold
Cry for the bird with broken wings
Cry for the world that will not spin
Cry for the loss of innocence
Cry for a love, turned loveless
Sometimes I think of you
Sometimes I think of you
Sometimes I think of you
When I'm alone, alone
Oh, cry, oh, cry
Oh, cry, cry, cry
Nothing will ever be the same
All is ruined and put to shame
Tears and stars are one and the same
When I look up through my focused lens
But sometimes I think of you
Sometimes I think of you
Sometimes I think of you
When I'm alone, alone
Oh, cry, oh cry
Tears and stars collide, confide then die
Deep inside, tears run dry
But I cry and cry and cry
Tiger skins and elephant tusks
In guilted mountains seep disgust
I look at you and I want to speak
For once in a while, be a man and weep
'Cause all the dolphins and whales have gone
All good tidings and hopes have blown
All our nightmares are flying home
And it's too late to do anything
But cry, oh, cry
Tears and stars collide, confide then die
Deep inside, tears run dry
But I cry, cry and cry
Oh, cry
Oh, cry
Here in my cot where my cot loves me
I'll stay here a while in the cotton wool cocoon
Till the Chrysalis is ripe, till the time is right
With this feeling of insecurity
I have to shrink back inside, run and hide
Back in the cocoon, hugging my knees
Watching my insides, the skinned glow-worm writhings
Lying in blankets, I've been here a while
Tapping out rhythms, tapping out rhythms
Against the mattress and wall
The heat melts the sheets, another layer is peeled
Tapping out rhythms, tapping out rhythms
Just my cot, the wallpaper and me
I've been here awhile tapping out rhythms
Tapping out rhythms
Still finding charms in the memory of those constrictor arms
Glowing in the dark in my luminous green
A pearl beaded lizard bathed in a Gossamer scent
With my heat detector lip-pit, pulling at the newly formed tissue
Lying in blankets, I've been here awhile
Tapping out rhythms, tapping out rhythms
Against the mattress and wall
Waiting, waiting to loose the bandages
Waiting, for new appendages
Lying in blankets, I've been here a while
I've been here too long banging out rhythms
Listen for other tappings banging out rhythms
Banging out rhythms, banging out rhythms
Listen for other tappings banging out rhythms
Banging out rhythms
Tapping out rhythms, tapping out rhythms
The day drags by like a wounded animal
The approaching disease, 92 degrees
The blood oin our veins and the brains in our head
The approaching unease, 92 degrees
Long ago in the headlines, they noticed it too
But too late for the loved ones and nearly for you .....
Shaky lines on the horizon
Snakey lines invade each person
Watch the red line creeping upwards
Watch the sanity line weaken
The volcanic depths of Hades' ocean
Bubble under, these crazed eruptions
It wriggles and wrythes and bites within,
Just below the sweating sun
I wondered when this would happen again
Now I watch the red line, reach that number again
The blood in our veins and the brains in our head .....
Drink the water with jagged glass
Eat the cactus with bleeding mouth
Not 91 or 93, but 92 Fahrenheit degrees
Shaky lines on the horizon
Snakey lines invade each person
Squatting on doorsteps, following footsteps
Nocturnal habits are surveyed with interest
So we crawl into corners, ignore any callers
And imagine our radiators clang for our neighbors
When we crawl on all fours, upon the cushioned floor
Still they cling to the walls and knock on our doors
And the tendency for tenants is tenacity
The paint is cracked, and the paper peels
The plaster falls and a body reels softly
Forty watt bulb swing from a light cloud
On lawnmower groan, the carpet has grown
But they have eyes at the keyholes and ears at the walls
They have eyes at the keyholes and ears at the walls
I know it's all a game
I know they're all insane
I know it's all in vain
I know that I'm to blame
This tearing apart
I think we all should die
I think we're dead inside
I know the purest rain
won't wash the bloody stain
I know it waits to strike
this sickness from inside
Will tear us apart
you're still in my heart
tearing apart
O you hold the rain
Far far away
wild swans skim across a lake
then soar in a white arc
above my head I wake
Tearing apart
you're still in my heart
tearing apart
You buried it so deep
so safe in hidden sleep
But like a tell-tale corpse
rises to the surface
over-ripe & bloated
in naked time-lapsed truth
Thought it was lost forever
Remember this
How long has it been
or have you forgotten
when you first forgot?
Now resurrection the phoenix
aflame with pride & conceit
Remembers this
Wind blown trees outside
applauding like the ocean
to the cacophony inside
The waves come rushing in
A crashing whispering
drowning they drink me
Ah not forgotten
This is not forgotten
The body is wrapped in shadow
The face is built of cinders
And panic tears thro' your silhouette
As you're squeezed by burning fingers
And he crackling in our colours
With teeth of gelignite
When he sighs his song and pirouettes
Thro' a dance of dynamite
We are fireworks - slowly, glowing
Bold and bright
We are fireworks - burning shapes
Into the night
His fuel is our frustration
And dreams begin to ache
And all the while we wear a party smile
And happily we shiver
And happily we shake
Oh shake, shake, shake
We are fireworks - slowly, glowing
Bold and bright
We are fireworks - burning shapes
Into the night
Twist and turn - burn, burn, burn
You're lost little girl
You're lost little girl
Tell me who are you?
I think that you know what to do
Impossible? Yes, but it's true
I think that you know what to do, girl
Sure that you know what to do
You're lost little girl
You're lost little girl
You're lost
You're lost
Tell me who are you?
I think that you know what to do
Impossible? Yes, but it's true
I think that you know what to do, girl
Sure that you know what to do
You're lost little girl
You're lost little girl
O pull on the rein and haul me in
back to the start where eyes first blink to see
A flowing mane a cut-glass limb
and they're falling soaring so rhythmically
O pull on the rein and haul me in back to the start
rebirthed in ecstacy with cherubim and seraphim
When I was falling soaring so rhythmically
Falling soaring falling for you so completely
The Rapture unfurling blues and greens
The Rapture a swirling violet stream
mystic majestic entangled in a web of curling vapour thread
Encaptured by forces unseen
Enraptured an eclipse intoxicating
strangely not inside strangely not outside
Drowning in the middle of an eerie transition
And I don't know your name
Never been alive yet I haven't died
I hover disembodied in a semi-wakened haze
Floating far above the cloud
sinking far below the ground
Only my senses remain
The Rapture unfurling blues and greens
The Rapture a swirling violet stream
mystic majestic entangled in a web of iridescent curling vapour thread
Floating far above the cloud
sinking far below the ground
No form only my senses remain
Wondering if I dare to say your name
wondrous thoughts embalmed avow you came
By the crescent disc rising amethyst
how can love remain the same unchanged?
Moonlight plays upon this sunken brow
midnight ink bleeds wet mercurial clouds
By the crescent disc rising amethyst
somnambulist unharnessed storms the plough
By the crescent disc rising amethyst
I am the passenger
And I ride and I ride
I ride through the city's backsides
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah, the bright and hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight
I am the passenger
I stay under glass
I look through my window so bright
I see the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the city's ripped backsides
And everything looks good tonight
Singing
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
Get into the car
We'll be the passenger
We'll ride through the city tonight
We'll see the city's ripped backsides
We'll see the bright and hollow sky
We'll see the stars that shine so bright
Stars made for us tonight
Oh, the passenger
How, how he rides
Oh, the passenger
He rides and he rides
He looks through his window
What does he see?
He sees the sign and hollow sky
He sees the stars come out tonight
He sees the city's ripped backsides
He sees the winding ocean drive
And everything was made for you and me
All of it was made for you and me
'Cause it just belongs to you and me
So let's take a ride and see what's mine
Singing
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
Happy in solitude
Secure there's no one to depend on
Scorning alms and good luck charms
Staring down to the rocks below
I was the lonely one
I didn't want no one
An odyssey so solitary
Carries you forth to collide with me
Recognized familiar signs
We're hypnotized on the turning tide
You were the lonely one
Who didn't want no one
I was the lonely one
I didn't want no one
Here I stand on the shifting sand
Waves of lassitude wash inland
The lonely cry of a seagull flies
Into my mind and recalls a time
When I was the lonely one
Who didn't want no one
You were the lonely one
No, we didn't want no one
Hear my hymn calling the lonely one
Down where this ugly man seeks his sustenance
Down in the blue, midnight flare
A glass hand cuts through the water
Scything into his twisted roots
Then from his eyes spring fireflies
Breathing life into a roaring disguise
Needles and sins, sins and needles
He's gasping for air in the wishing well
Dust to rust, ashes on gashes
Hand around the killing jar
Hand around the killing jar
A soft hoodwink of shadows, the size of make-believe
Punches through his spike of rage
A glass hand cuts through the water
Snuffing out the magic fury
Then from inside bolt lightning cries
Swiftly crushed the final, muffled sighs
Needles and sins, sins and needles
He's gasping for air in the wishing well
Dust to rust, ashes on gashes
Hand around the killing jar
Hand around the killing jar
Hand around the killing jar
Hand around the killing jar
Hand around the killing jar
Hand around the killing jar
You awoke in a burning paper house
From the infinite fields of dreamless sleep
You return to Tiannammen
An eyewitness in a shroud
To see them fall, feel them yield
Reliving the terror of the crowd
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
Just for a moment I seemed to know
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
I seemed to know the ghost in you
The whisper of your scream
Sighed through the air
And faith the flag is torn and frayed
Infernal heat, glory in flame
Love was beaten and betrayed
In every step I hear your sobbing
Dare I break the shade with one caress
Dare I trespass to lift the veil
To touch the lips so soft and frail
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
I seemed to know the ghost in you
Your captive heart's
The belief you share
With a kiss eternal
Spirits of the square
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
Hope remains with the ghost in you
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
I seemed to know the ghost in you
Don't let it blow
The ghost in you
At the top of the stairs is a locked room
my secret chamber that no outsider views
for entry is forbidden prohibited
Behind this door is my other self
not a picture in a frame nor a fresh disguise
but my other self
immoblie inert and sanguine
My narcissus kisses exhale crimson breath
and pump ruby to the lip
I stand before myself not Jekyll nor Hyde
not sibling nor twin seperated at birth
I stand before myself unaccountable
I dreamt that I had feet of clay
I dreamt I crossed the seven seas
and when I woke not knowing
I knew I led the double life
All I ever needed is twice removed
I spit in my bile in an airless temper
in this vacuum a vampire reversed
This one who breathes life into me
and even dull mirrors reflect the tarnished twosome
I stand before myself not another me
Not Döppleganger nor witless clone
I stand before myself unrepentant
I dreamt of sin and aftermath
I dreamt of centuries laid bare
and when I woke not knowing
Creeping up the backstairs
Slinking into dark stalls
Shapeless and slumped in bath chairs
Furtive eyes peep out of holes
She has many guises
She'll do what you want her to
Playing dead and sweet submission
Cracks the whip deadpan on cue
Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo
Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo
Reeking like a pig sty
Peeling back and gagging free
Flaccid ego in your hand
Chokes on dry tears, can you understand?
She's jeering at the shadows
Sneering behind a smile
Lunge and thrust to pout and pucker
Into the face of the beguiled
Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo
Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo
(Golly jeepers, where'd you get those peepers?)
Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo
(Peepshow, creepshow, where did you get those eyes?)
Strobe lights pump and flicker
Dry lips crack out for more
Come bite on this rag doll, baby
Well, that's right, now hit the floor'
They're sneaking out the back door
She gets up from all fours
Rhinestone fools and silver dollars
Curdle into bitter tears
Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo
Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo
Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo
(Golly jeepers, where'd you get those peepers?)
Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo
(Peepshow, creepshow, where did you get those eyes?)
Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo
(Golly jeepers, where'd you get those peepers?)
Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo
(Peepshow, creepshow, where did you get those eyes?)
Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo
(Golly jeepers, where'd you get those peepers?)
Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo
(Peepshow, creepshow, were did you get those eyes?)
Where did you get those eyes?
Look to the hills, now look at my face
Do you notice my eyes, are they in the right place?
There's a Mantovani backdrop to pucker up a tummy tuck
A voice soft as lint mashed up with shades of pink
Hide your genetics under drastic cosmetics
But this chameleon magic is renowned to be tragic
Look to the hills now look at my face
On lead poisoned wings, you try to sing
Freak beak shrieks are thrown at your confusing hue
The peacock screaming - eyes show no mercy, no mercy
Painted bird - it's absurd
Just a tainted bird hurting their twisted nerve
The flock will make you choke on this sadistic joke
And the whippoorwills - they make a din
In laughing unison you're hitchcock carrion
Carry on
Painted bird - it's absurd
Just a tainted bird hurting their twisted nerve
I hear your sorrow, maybe tomorrow
You'll lose your sorrow
When a fated weather will cleanse away
That painted feather and all that sorrow
A coquette in fur purr for the painted bird
Confound that dowdy flock with a sharp honed nerve
Because we're painted birds by our own design
By our own design there's no more sorrow
Have you heard about the painted bird?
Just a tainted bird hunting their twisted nerve
We've lost our sorrow - now it's tomorrow
No need to hide your feather under a fated weather
No more sorrow...
Got to give up life in this netherworld
Gonna go up to where the air is stale
And live the life of pleasantries
And mingle in the modern families
Overground from abnormality
Overboard for identity
Overground for normality
Overboard for identity
This limbo is no place
To be a digit in another space
In another crowd
I'm nameless bound
Overground from abnormality
Overboard for identity
Overground for normality
Overboard for identity
Overground, I'll be worse than me
Overground, it's clear to me
Overground, I'll be worse than me
Overground, it's clear to me
Overground, I'll be worse than me
Overground, it's clear to me
Silver couches to recline upon
And ornaments of gold
Silver moonbeams dance in fountains
Below shining citadels
Surrounded by silver gates ascending silver stairs
Eureka on angelic prayer wafts in and scents the air
With ornaments of gold
To warm my soul from the growing cold
Ornaments of gold
We can drink from silver vessels
We can feed from silver bowls
Then I'll give you gilded treasures
Anointed by intoxicating oils
Drenched in riches unimaginable
Your splendor drips with jewels that are so beautiful
And ornaments of gold
Warm my soul from the growing cold
Adorable, rewardable you
From head to toe, I'd love to cover you
And smother you in ornaments of gold
In honeydew, I'd love to cover you
Oh lover do bring
Ornaments of gold
Protect our hearts from this cruel world
Ornaments of gold
Do you hear this, breath it's an obsessive breath
Can you feel this beat? It's an obsessive heart beat
Waiting to be joined with its obsession
I close my eyes but I can't sleep
The thin membrane can't veil
The branded picture of you
The signs and signals show, the traffic lights say, go
Again you baffle me, pretending not to see, oh, me
I broke into your room, I broke down in my room
Touched your belongings there and left a lock of my hair
Another sign for you
You screamed into my face, get the hell out of my place
Another sign for me, can you forgive me?
For not understanding your ways
You know sometimes you take it all too far
Then I remember it's a game between you and me
A divine test for us two
It's all in my imagination
Yes they even say that our mission
Is only my obsession
Do you hear this breath? It's an oppressive breath
Suffocating in the poison of your obsession
Can you feel this beat? It's a possessive beat
Your pulse stops in the claws of your obsession
The signs and signals show, the traffic lights say, go
The cracks in the ground grin up at me
even the creases in my shoes smile up at me
Thought it would end in tragedy
but I'm swimming around in your glory
O Baby O maybe
I'm the lost and found
Look at the stars they're raining down
even these jewels want to kiss your crown
Don't be afraid it's just your face
has that effect on heavens' treasure case
O Baby O maybe
You're a paragon
I haven't felt this way before
impossible to ask for more
Unanswered prayers that went before
lie like leaves upon the floor
Hang all the world and universe
when I'm with you they always seem perverse
I'm in a state of weightlessness
when I inhale your angel breath
O Baby O maybe
When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again
Do you, don't you want me to love you?
I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you
Tell me, tell me, tell me, come on tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Will you, won't you want me to make you?
I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
Look out!
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Look out!
?Cause here she comes
When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
And I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
And I get to the bottom and I see you again
Well do you, don't you want me to make you?
I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
Tell me, tell me, tell me your answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
Look out!
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Look out!
Helter skelter
She's coming down fast
Yes she is
Yes she is
Coming down fast
The head is the best part
My headcut my woodcut
I saw you in the gallery
With your torso and family
A huge smiling central face
With eyes and lips cut out
But smiling and eating
Lots of other lips...
A beautiful mask in plastercast
Such a beautiful mask in plastercast
Can I take it back with me
Back to the flat with me
Oh severed head
I'll feed your head with bread
And paint your lips bright red
I'll keep it fresh on ice
It will look very nice
Can I take it back with me
Back to the flat with me
Shrunken heads under the bed
The flies are humming
There's a red under the bed
The spit is turning
Roasting burning
Shadows dancing - by the fire
Flickering flames laugh - with desire
The head is the best part
This is the happy house, we're happy here in the happy house
Oh, it's such fun, fun, fun
We've come to play in the happy house
And waste a day in the happy house, it never rains, never rains
We've come to scream in the happy house
We're in a dream in the happy house
We're all quite sane, sane, sane
This is the happy house-we're happy here
There's room for you if you say "I do"
But don't say no or you'll have to go
We've done no wrong with our blinkers on
It's safe and calm if you sing along, sing along, sing along
This is the happy house, we're happy here in the happy house
To forget ourselves and pretend all's well
There is no hell
I'm looking through your window
The night is still
And the frost it bites my face
I wear my silence like a mask
And murmur like a ghost
"Trick or Treat"
"Trick or Treat"
The bitter and the sweet
The carefree days
Are distant now
I wear my memories like a shroud
I try but words collapse
Echoing
"Trick or Treat"
"Trick or Treat"
The bitter and the sweet
I wander through your sadness
Gazing at you with scorpion eyes
Halloween ... Halloween
A sweet reminder
In the ice-blue nursery
Of a childish murder
Of hidden lustre
And she cries
"Trick or Treat"
"Trick or Treat"
The bitter and the sweet
I wander through your sadness
Gazing at you with scorpion eyes
Now me and my partner we work on the run
The quick try to get quicker and the creepers get hung
It's you that got wasted tonight on the job
One lost his liquor, the other lost his hand
Ten sticky thumb prints on the door and the sink
But nothin' saw nothin' just smell the stink
Five hundred mugshots and a hundred to one
Four forgotten and the rest just won't come
When you've begun to think like a gun
The rest of the year has already gone
When you've begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have suddenly gone
Blood on the windows and blood on the walls
Blood on the ceiling and down in the halls
Papers keep pounding and everything that burns
People getting restless but they'll never learn
I picked up a doctor he's good with a knife
Says anesthetic's a waste of his time
Works in a hurry but always worthwhile
Knows they won't be back for a long, long time
Top of the staircase was ready to fall
We were still waiting downstairs in the hall
Well, watch out for big mama, she'll set you on fire
Or go for your neck with the chicken wire
When you've begun to think like a gun
The rest of the year has already gone
When you've begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have suddenly gone
Mother of plenty, mother of none
You've got me cornered I'm still on the run
I don't care nothing about you anyway
Stuck in this hole I'm well on my way
When you've begun to think like a gun
The rest of the year has already gone
When you've begun to think like a gun
Hibiscus head in a flower bed
A finger hewn planted and sewn
Oh, magic in her hands
She could make anything grow
Magic in her hands
She had green fingers
It's curious where the animals don't go
Mandrake rooted deep into the soil
Where the sun won't fall but it flourishes
See the pretty maids all in a row
Magic in her hands
She could make anything grow
Magic in her hands
She had green fingers
It's reaching
And groping a clammy handshake
Clawing the ivy
Crawling the tight rope along the lattice work
With this hand I thee wed
With this hand I thee bed
With this hand I
With this hand, oh
With this hand I
With this hand, oh
With this hand I
With this hand
With this hand I
With this hand
With this hand I
With this hand
Infinity stretches unlimitlessly
countless days pass by immeasurably
Anniversaries gutter in the maelstrom
whorling a snowstorm of lustrous millennium
We couldn't stay together
this couldn't last forever
Senses dissolve into soliloquies
flooding ascent in synchronicity
But we couldn't stay together
I knew this wouldn't last forever
Forever just one more tie then never
this is the last string to sever
On and on yes it goes on and on
I could stay wherever
I would last forever
Forever just one more tie then never
this is the last string to sever
forever never forever
This is the last string to sever
Face to face, my lovely foe
Mouth to mouth, raining heaven's blows
Hand on heart, tic tac toe
Under the stars, naked as we flow
Cheek to cheek, the bitter sweet
Commit your crime in your deadly time
It's too divine, I want to bend
I want this bliss but something says I must resist
Another life, another time
We're Siamese twins, writhing, intertwined
Face to face, no telling lies
The masks, they slide to reveal a new disguise
You never can win, it's the state I'm in
This danger thrills and my conflict kills
They say, follow your heart, follow it through
But how can you, when it's split in two?
And you'll never know
You'll never know
You'll never know
One more kiss before we die
Face to face and dream of flying
Who are you? Who am I?
Wind in wings, two angels falling
To die like this with a last kiss
It's falsehood's flame and it's a crying shame
Face to face, the passions breathe
I hate to stay but then I hate to play
And you'll never know
No, you'll never know
No, no, you'll never know
You'll never know
You'll never know
You'll never know
No, no, you'll never know
No, no, you'll never know
You'll never know
You'll never know
Drifter sleepwalk, drifter sleep talk
Awake to who is following
Moving like water, moving drifting on the wind
A drifter coming in
Then I dreamt that I awoke
And all around was asleep
With eyes in the back of my head
Awake to who is following
Drifter coming in
Never touching down, never leaving ground
A twilight world in which we roam
Still we don't belong, drift on
At daybreak, we walk
At daybreak, we talk
Ready to tear up the world
Drifter sleepwalk, drifter sleep talk
Your everywhere is home yet you never take hold
Wanting to live everywhere not wanting to live anywhere
A twilight world in which you roam
Dizzy, dizzy
Oh so dizzy
Scorpio rising on the horizon
Thunder tumbling from the mountains
Harpy sirens strangle silence
A piece of mind left dying
Dizzy, oh so dizzy
Dizzy, oh so dizzy
Below the waves, below their grace
Your hair is gorgeous
Dancing harmonics, dancing hypnotic
Left dying
Oh dizzy, oh dizzy
Oh dizzy, oh dizzy
Oh dizzy, oh so dizzy
Desert kisses in the sand
Engulfing joints, engulfing land
Tidal fingers cling to rocks
A deadly grip, a deadly lock
Cursed and pissed into the ocean
Willfully caused a great commotion
But only for a stifled moment
Then it was back to still life motion
A sideways crawl, a sideways crawl
The cancer crab is on us all
I kissed your face, I kissed the sand
I heard you sigh, there was no sound
Thrashed and spat back at the ocean
But there was nothing, no commotion
Just my lonely stupid notions
Trapped again in still life motion
Sinking down with just my sound
Sinking down, running on the moving ground
Sinking down
Sinking down without a sound
Sinking down, sleeping on the moving ground
Sinking down
Desert kisses in the sand
Engulfing joints, engulfing land
Tidal fingers cling to rocks
A deadly grip, a deadly lock
Sinking down, the world is round
Sinking down, there's no one around
Standing on the moving ground
Sinking down, the world is flat
There's no one here to question that
Sinking down without a sound
Sinking down
Sinking down, the world was round
There was no one around
[Originally performed by The Beatles]
Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out and play
Dear Prudence open up your eyes
Dear Prudence see the sunny skies
The wind is low the birds will sing
that you are part of everything
Dear Prudence won't you open up your eyes?
Look around round
Look around round round
Look around
Dear Prudence let me see you smile
Dear Prudence like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
The stars that shine and the stars that shrink
In the face of stagnation the water runs
Before your eyes
Swallowing diamonds
A cutting throat
Your teeth when you grin
Reflecting beams on tombstones
A jamboree of surprises
Playing Russian roulette
Or the lucky dip
A clenched fist to your heart
Coal dust on your lungs
A silver tongue for the chosen one
Heavy magnum in your side
Or a bloody thorn
Skating bullets on angel dust
In a dead sea of fluid mercury
Baby piano cries
Under your heavy index and thumb
Pull some strings let them sing
The stars that shine and the stars that shrink
In the face of stagnation the water runs
Before your eyes
Dazzle it's a glittering prize
Dazzle it's a glittering prize
Before your eye
It's a glittering prize
The stars that shine and the stars that shrink
In the face of stagnation the water runs
Water was running, children were running
You were running out of time
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Were you praying at the Lares shrine?
But ohh, oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Ohh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Choking on the dirt and sand
Your former glories and all the stories
Dragged and washed with eager hands
But ohh, oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Ohh, oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Your city lies in dust
Water was running, children were running
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Water was running, children were running
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Your city lies in dust, my friend
Ohh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Hot and burning in your nostrils
Pouring down your gaping mouth
Your molten bodies, blanket of cinders
Caught in the throes
And ohh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Ohh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Ohh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Ohh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Your city lies in dust, my friend
Ohh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Pretty girl of 16 has fun and runs crazy
Ruined girl of 16 now a mother grows lazy
Next a 16 year old baby like mother grows lazy
And her stomach is churning whilst her eyes keep on turning
Round and around, round and around
Getting no higher from the ground
Round and around, round and around
The circle has an empty sound
Father inflicts discipline, boy rebels against him
He leaves for the big town for love and adventure
But the words he first heard unlike his instincts run deeper
Now boy beats his children if they disobey him
And the cat riddled with worms chases his tail
Round and around, round and around
Getting no higher from the ground
Round and around, round and around
This circle has an empty sound
The endless full circle for the next in line
The endless full circle
Take the red line, the green line
The silver or blue
Any line you can think of except for the yellow
Take a trip with your family and see where they go
Give them a free ticket it's the best thing to do
And if you wind up on the circle line
Hell, it's not from lack of options
Then if you run into the yellow
Well that's up to you
Round and around, round and around
Getting no higher from the ground
Round and around, round and around
The circle has an empty sound
The circle has an empty sound
Round and around, round and around
Round and around, round and around
Round and around, round and around
And go round
And go round
The endless full circle for the next in line
The endless full circle are you the next in line
Round and around and around and around
Round and around and around and around
Round and around and around and around
She tries not to shatter, kaleidoscope style
Personality changes behind her red smile
Every new problem brings a stranger inside
Heplessly forcing one more new disguise
Christine, the strawberry girl
Christine, banana split lady
Christine, the strawberry girl
Christine, banana split lady
Singing sweet savages lost in our world
This big eyed girl sees her faces unfurl
Now's shes in purple now's shes the turtle
Distintegrating
Christine, the strawberry girl
Christine, banana split lady
Christine, the strawberry girl
Christine sees her faces unfurl
Now's shes in purple
Now's she the turtle
Disintegrating
Christine, Christine
Christine, the strawberry girl

Christine, the strawberry girl
Christine sees her faces unfurl
Christine, Christine, Christine
Christine turn into faces
Disintegrating

Oh, the air was shining,
Shining like a wedding ring
Barbed like sex
I felt 10,000 volts
My chest was full of eels
Pushing through my usual skin
I opened up new wounds
Pouting, shouting
Oh love - like liquid falling
Falling in cascades
Oh love-lorn victims laughing
Laughing in cascades
The sun was rich
Rich with a song of sin
My breath melted my words
Into strange alphabets
Tormenting my tongue
Pouting, shouting
The heartbeats were echoing
Echoing the revolver
Emptying into my mouth
I pulled a face from my pocket
And smiled a leper's grin
I felt somebody close
You clamber up and look behind
Their watchful eyes, the helping hands
A hen that's fierce and painted blue
With red eyes wants to swallow you
A dragon dives and soars on tracks
The hands that strap you to it's back
You turned around and look behind
Their smiling eyes won't help you down
Their tiny hands, their tiny feet
Such little hearts to miss a beat
Grotesque dwarves in mirrored rooms
Pulled and taut a thousand yous
Staring back through stinging tears
Remembering those fun house thrills
The paintbox tunes and wild balloons
Their watchful eyes, you start to swoon
Oh, painted vile in lurid hue
The snarling horse that waits for you
It's motor whirs and colors curl
Inside your head the monsters whirl
It's motor whirs and colors curl
Inside your head the monsters whirl
In sucked out
Time stood still
Roundabout back
Carousel
Time stood still
And you remember it well
In sucked out
Time stood still
Roundabout back
Carousel
Time stood still
And you remember it well
Carousel
Someones in cold storage
Seeking Heinz main-courses
Craving for a raw love
He'll hide you from the cleaver
He'll hang with you forever
Longing for a fresh meat
By hook or by crook
You'll be 1st in his book
For an impaled affair
By hook or by crook
You'll be last in his book
Of flesh oh so rare
Be a carcass, be a dead pork
Be limblessly in love, be limblessly in love
Be limblessly in love, limblessly in love
Be a carcass, be a dead pork
Be limblessly in love, be limblessly in love
Be limblessly in love, limblessly in love
Someone's left in cold storage
Thawed in Heinz main-courses
Carving for a new tin
He got you with the cleaver
He hung you up forever
Anticipating new skin
Out of the frying pan
And into the fire
58th variety
Out of the frying pan
And into the fire
Mother had her son for tea
Be a carcass, be a dead pork
Be limblessly in love, be limblessly in love
Be limblessly in love, limblessly in love
Be a carcass, be a dead pork
Be limblessly in love, be limblessly in love
Be limblessly in love, limblessly in love
In love with your pain
In love with the bleeding
In love with the pain that you have felt
As you became a carcass, we became a carcass
Carcass, carcass, you became a carcass
Carcass, carcass, carcass, carcass
Carcass, carcass, you became a carcass
In love with the stumps
In love with the bleeding
In love with the pain that you now feel
As you became a carcass, we became a carcass
Carcass
Get him in but don't whine you swine
Troubled weather's on its way
Tempests threaten us today
There's no respite from long dark nights
Just the fantasy of spring
From the hailstones of summer
To a scorching winter land
A frozen death sleep, then this heat
Beats down on this buckled land
Flames lick closer to the core
From city limits fireball
And in a headless chicken run
Race red and screaming fire engines
Then the cannons came
Oh 'neath the brooding sky
Beneath its baleful eye
The cannon shot, the cannon crack
Disturbing night dreams
People fled in droves
To the lakes and to the shores
Left behind a near ghost town
Save the life of the cannons resounding
Still there was no rain
No rain, no rain, no rain
Once more in the line of fire
Hovers the preying sky
The cannons aim jabs at the eye
Heralding the rain
Heralding the rain
Oh, heralding the rain
Sickly sweet, his poison seeks
For the young ones who don't understand the danger in his hands
With a jaundiced wink see his cunning slink
Oh, trust in me my pretty one, come walk with me my helpless one
Candyman
Syrup lies upon your tongue
Gelatine saliva spills the flash of a guillotine a smile
Candyman
Oh, candyman
No pity for him, their misery screams unspeakable things
No pity for him, their misery screams unspeakable things
Candyman
A cool missile, yes, it's in his smile
With open arms to welcome you beware the masked pretender
He always lies, this candyman
Those lips conspire in treachery to strike in cloak and dagger, see
Candyman
Oh, candyman
And all the children, he warns, don't tell those threats are sold
With their guilt and shame they think they're to blame for candyman
Candyman
Candyman
Candyman
A crumpled future in your fist
The killing streak ascends sun kissed
And the fire starter from within
Pokes out from fever blistered grin
King Salamander that's his name
A desert maker that's his aim
The benign cremator, branding iron in his hand
Eager and willing to torch the land
All fire and brimstone, this Jack-O-Lantern
He likes to watch the buildings burn
His ardor smoulders, phosphorous flies
He radiates with urgency, hypnotize
Stoke the furnace, feed his need, this thirst for fire is all he seeks
He's the blazing rubber making tracks, the blue touch paper at your back
All fire and brimstone, this Salamander King
He basks while all around him burns
Giddy up, burn-up, not fade away
These words ignite and pave his way
Giddy up, burn-up, stoke it up and turn it up
Sings these words in fervid frame
All fire and brimstone, this Jack-O-Lantern
He likes to watch the pyres burn
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack jump over the candlestick
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Sunrise breaks its fatal perfume
And I'm dizzy to distraction
The scented clutches of a siren's lament
Embrace the sound of enchantment
Five fathoms deep, the lovers leap
The lanterns of skin beckon us in
O Belladonna
Belladonna
Daylight devours your unguarded hours
Burnt and charred, this bride of scars
O Belladonna
Belladonna
Five fathoms deep, the lovers leap
The lanterns of skin beckon us in
O Belladonna
Belladonna
Nightfalls decent shrouds her intent
In a halo of sharks and a skeleton mask
O Belladonna
Lost in the glare, all of us stare
The patterns of pain, scream out your name
O Belladonna
The jewel, the price
Looking into your eyes
Cool pools drawn your mind
What else you find
I hear a rumour - it was just a rumour
I heard a rumour - what have you done to her
Myriad lights - they sayd I'd be impressed
Arabian Knights - at your primitive best
A tourist oasis - reflects in seedy sunshades
A monstrous oil tanker it's wound bleeding in seas
I heard a rumour - what have you done to her
I heard a rumour - what have you done to her
Veiled behind screens
Kept as your baby machine
Whilst you conquer more orifices
Of boys, goats and things
Ripped out sheeps eyes - no forks or knives
Myriad lights - they sayd I'd be impressed
And I'm hearing the whispers from my window
and I'm hearing something scratching on the inside
Could I feel the sea beckoning me
oh, could it be can I see?
Voices
on the air
Voices
on the air
And I'm feeling like a moody situation
and I feel the waves laughing with contempt
Could I feel my senses leaving me?
oh, could it be can I see?
Voices
on the air
Voices
on the air
Voices
on the air
could it be can I see?
You can see her now high as the horizon
Fall into the quicksand and brainstorm my mind
Balancing on tip-toe, sharpened to the glow
In a tangle of thunder calling helplessly below
Sleepwalking
On the Highwire
Sleepwalking
Into the open palm of the empty sky
You can't hear her now you can't reach her at all
Spiral of persuasion twists until freefall
Balancing on tip-toe, angled clutch and flow
An accident at the circus, falling helplessly below
Sleepwalking
On the Highwire
Sleepwalking
Into the open palm of the empty sky
Sleepwalking
On the Highwire
Sleepwalking
Two black holes staring
From deep in the coal mind
Murder in mind-murder deep in the coal mind
Aphids and triffids bump mad into earwigs
Eating their way-through the green brain vegetation
Mutter mutter eyelids wonder
Twitching in time to troubled slumber
Come mind this coal mine
Come mine this coal mind
It's dark in here and it's been a long time
In need of ignition
In need of nutrition
There's famine in mind
There's murder in mind
Blank sockets squinting from the hot coals
Scorching
More holes in the coal mind
The pit is imploding
Headlines and hooklines bump
Blind into lifelines
Murder in mind- someone throw him a line
O, Madonna medusa
I spy a loser
Madonna medusa
I spy a loser
Ignition nutrition and now ventilation
A sigh of relief from deep in the coal mind
Sun blew his roof off-stopped murder in mind
O, Madonna medusa
I spy a loser
Madonna medusa
Are you still dying darling?
Are you still in pain?
Are you still crying
Despite the morphine in your veins?
A fluorescent haze hangs and for a second makes you
Invisible but you try in vain to reach out through
The life-support machine and all the multicoloured
Tubes that pump and drain
Are you still dying darling?
Are you still dying darling?
All this wasting away
All this prolonged misery and
All this stripping away of dignity is
Killing me
That expression on your face
Pleading through your agony
Are you still dying darling?
Are you still sighing
Shall I end it for you?
You'll see
I'll make it easy for you
Just one blink and I'll help you to break through
Where Never Never Land beckons to you
You can dance with Peter Pan
Make rings around the moon
Are you still dying darling?
Are you still dying darling?
No more injections
No more medications
No more complications for you
I'll lessen the load for you
No more no more no more
No more are you still dying darling?
Are you still dying darling?
Are you still dying darling?
Are you still dying darling?
In midnight guise these cobalt eyes
Pierce the indigo skies
In tearing through a Prussian army
Hence the royal hue
Forget-me-nots and violet plains weep titanium chains
Of sapphire days and turquoise dreams
In floating ultra-marine
Something blue--something sparkling through?
Out of the blue, I'm reminded of you
Forget-me-nots and violet plains weep titanium chains
Of sapphire days and turquoise dreams
In floating ultra-marine
Something blue--something sparkling through?
We've been waiting, inside our fears
Eyes that scorn you, imprison you with tears
Now awoken, rise up your new age schemes
Like the shooting sun, mirrors your golden dreams
We'll wait for you 'til dawn - it's ringing in
To stare back at the eyes that scorn
We've been sinking, with every step they spurn
Now we're thinking, it's time for them to burn
Crept up slowly, with a pocket full of beams
Softly spoken, "Take these eyes and see"
And we'll curse the years of stone
We'll laugh in the eyes that scorn - ringing in
We'll light them one by one, touched by the shooting sun
Flames run in golden streams, echoing golden dreams
We'll kiss them one by one, just like the shooting sun
We'll burst the years of stone,
We'll laugh in the eyes that scorn - ring it in
(fading)
We'll burst the years of stone,
We'll laugh in the eyes that scorn - ring it in
We'll light them one by one,
We'll burst the years of stone - touched by the shooting sun
We'll laugh in the eyes that scorn
We'll kiss them one by one
We'll burst the years of stone - like my shooting sun
Come and meet deliverance Blind faith will set you free Eat the hand that feeds the host Easter man now bleed
A burning bush, a burning bower Sitting pretty in your ivory tower
Throw them to the lions
Straying from the glory path Into salvation's jaws Mock the man that wears the crown Bless this night of claws
Throw them to the lions
Laughing in the ashes Like Nero razing Rome Your prophet mumbles nonsense Carved in blocks of stone
Listening to their murmurings Trespassing through the topiary Lulled by siren perfumes Of their seductive petal openings
Cannibal roses Enticing out noses With exotic aromas Then they bite off our noses Whilst stood on our toeses
Red snappers and finger pops Fighting off psycho pomps Ring a ring a roses Cannibal roses
And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
A hand-me-down dress from who knows where
To all tomorrow's parties
And where will she go and what shall she do
When midnight comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door
And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
Why silks and linens of yesterday's gowns
To all tomorrow's parties
And what will she do with Thursday's rags
When Monday comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door
And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
For Thursday's child is Sunday's clown
For whom none will go mourning
A blackened shroud, a hand-me-down gown
Of rags and silks, a costume
Fit for one who sits and cries
For all tomorrow's parties
She sits and cries...
Something strange is happening
My bones do ache and my ears, they do ring
I could pull and tear my skin
I hear and smell and I want to scream
The whispering and a scratching to be let in
From outside and from within
By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes
There's something evil on the wing
Something wicked is fast approaching
Rushing through a hidden wind
Nothing good is what's in store
It's nothing new and it's rotten to the core
And a-howling at my door
We're dragged helpless in the undertow
The quicksand surround and swallow us whole
By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes
Just around the bend
Rushing on the wind
Here it comes
It hurts
There's a pain in my head
I wish it would stop
But it never stops
I can feel it coming... I'm getting weaker
Please help me... I'm getting weaker
I'm getting weaker
Please help me
I wish I could help myself...
Let me out of here... I belong out there
Son of a bitch, son of a bitch
Let me out of here... I belong out there
Never say die... I must never die
Let me out of here... I belong out there
You son of a bitch... I'll pull your hair
Let me out of here... I belong out there
You son of a bitch... I'll pull your hair
Never say die... Never say die, I must, I must never die
Scarecrow grins he's growing very tall
Growing tall under the golden sun
Growing with the children of the corn
Sending out the message of a strange tongue
A message of the sun
Young skin stretched in over apallis grin
The crimson spilling golden crops of hair
Spilling everywhere
Watch the children of the corn below
One by one they're following the sun
Got to run
Following the sun on the run
Following the sun
Don't be ashamed of what you've done
You must not run
This is what she saw ...
The unsuspecting horse was held fast to the ground
Whilst some soldiers slit open its belly
The guilty gypsy was shoved inside the horse's belly
With only his head protruding from the dying
Beast, another soldier, then sewed up the wound
With the culprit inside, condemned to die, along
With your mouth around the bottle-then you smash it on the hearth reach out for another one-don't look back on the past a chair through the window-then through the looking glass the crystal splinters shimmer-bathe the pavement in moondust
laughing in the crimson rain-we feel no pain with shards in out soles we'll dance again and again oh again and again amidst the laughter and the crimson rain
The ice house preserves
with incestuous flowers
their nightly perfume overpowers me
the stamens kiss
entwined devouring
the heart will melt whilst the ice remains
erogenous touch-of brother and sister
the ice retains life-no offspring to bear phallic flower etched into my memory
a feline form on a frosted pane
not ashes to ashes
not dust to dust
a beckoning bouquet
of blossoming lust
oh will you stay-until this moment's complete? oh let me freeze you-with this fragrance so sweet we shall not slither and wither away
Kiss the girl-kiss the girl
hands around the steering wheel
caress the shiny vinyl feel
don't you miss the girl?
miss the girl
seduced reflection in the chrome
there's petrol stains outside your home
kiss the girl-kiss the girl
your loving strokes are fatal charms
revenge bites back into her arms
you didn't miss the girl-you hit the girl you hit her with a force of steel
she's wrapped around your burning wheels
I Hate You I Hate You I Hate You I Hate You...
Drop dead-
You stinking little creep
Drop dead-
With your emotions so cheap
Your poisoned mind-
It's disgusting everyone
We don't care if you vanish in thin air!
Drop dead-
It's a dead drop
You're a dead loss
Drop dead
You should be pushed down-
Down into the ground amongst the worms-
And other spineless things
Don't you see you're embarrassing to me
I can't stand that phony way you banter!
Drop dead-
It's a dead drop
You're a dead loss
Drop dead
You're so pathetic-
An insipid, dried up slug
Keep your mouth shut you impotent little slut
I'm so ashamed to be connected with your name
You're so lame-
I wish you'd never been to blame
Drop dead-
It's a dead drop
You're a dead loss
Drop dead
Those words-
Tight-lipped and mealy-mouthed
It wasn't hard to realise that they were lies
Judging from the flies you've attracted from the skies
So just get lost-
fuck Off!
And disappear into the compost!
Drop dead-
Stinking little creep drop dead!
Drop dead!!
Little orphans in the snow
With nowhere to call a home
Start their singing
Waiting through the summertime
To thaw your hearts in wintertime
That's why they're singing...
Waiting for a sign to turn blood into wine
The sweet taste in your mouth...turned bitter in its glass
Israel...in Israel
Israel...in Israel
Shattered fragments of the past
Meet in veins on the stained glass
Like the lifeline in your palm
Red and green reflects the scene
Of a long forgotten dream
There were princes and there were kings
Now hidden in disguise...cheap wrappings of lies
Keep your heart alive with a song from inside
Even though we're all alone
We are never on our own when we're singing
There's a man who's looking in
And he smiles a toothless grin
Because he's singing...
See some people shine with glee
But their song is jealousy
Their hate is clanging...maddening
In Israel...will they sing Happy Noel?
Israel...in Israel
Israel...in Israel
Giant sized flowers
giant sized bugs
giant sized gecko
is making his path
undergrowth running
a chorus of frogs
a parakeet's picnic
all writhing in a tub
panoramic banana
a passion fruit samba
pale skin is itching-a tropical fever
creature crawl and creatures call
all creatures great and small
gecko sits and watches all
Platform ranting in the trees
disturbed voices on the breeze
huddled 'round the mad eyes screamer
a pointed finger - the tin can schemer
Mad eyed screamer - Mad eyed screamer
Mad eyed screamer - Mad eyes screamer
a pointed finger - the tin can schemer
Mad eyed screamer - the corner speaker
Could be a preacher - could be a teacher you want the world to meet your maker
now a lecher transforms a traitor
with a petrol flaring eye ....
Come and see the corner speaker
come and his suit dripdry
the passers-by have one obsession
to hear his raving to the sky
Mad eyed screamer on your knees
Mad eyed screamer you are not pleased
with the chatter in the trees
your balls are freezing in the breeze
Mad eyed screamer - Mad eyes screamer
mad eyed screamer - Mad eyed screamer
your balls are freezing in the breeze
Sioux starts off, with:
Time, is like a dream,
Now, for a time,
you are mine.
Let's hold fast,
to the dream,
that tastes and sparkles like wine.
Morrisey enters...
who-who knows if it's real,
or just something we're both...
(duet)
... dreaming of.
What seems like an interlude now,
Could be the beginning of love.
(duet)
Loving you, is the world that's strange, So much more than my heart can hold,
Loving you makes the whole world change. (d)
Loving you, I could not grow old.
No-nobody knows,
When love will end,
so 'til then, sweet fiend.
Time, is like a dream
and, now, for a time,
You are mine.
Let's hold fast to the dream
that tastes and sparkles like
kula 'ula 'ula poni
'alani melemele polu
'akala 'oma 'oma 'o
Come to the festival of colours
celebrate the festival of colours
shake your serpent thrashing hair
come and tint the sleeping air
across the seas from India
but a rainbow can start anywhere
clutching handfuls of the powder
throw it everywhere
chanting out their many names
kick it to the wind...
kula 'ula 'ula poni
'alani melemele polu
'akala 'oma 'oma 'o...
The dawning is over
the morning is over
and I can't look into your eyes
a cold November morning
a shivering new dawning
I watched your energy slide
it's sad to see it dying-that fire once so lively now three sad tears have fallen from my eyes a dampened need for fire-a kindled desire the power just vanished from your eyes
this feeling is crying
the sea it is sighing
for spirits that just give up and die
the dawning is over
the mourning is over
What can I do - I know they've gotten to you When you say that your whites
have an aerial blue
What's happened to you - since I last say you I thought I knew your name - but it's not you but it's not you
You're talking in a balloon
in this tidy room
sounding like a commercial
for a serial
I wish you could feel the way that I feel I wish you could feel but your so unreal your so unreal
What can I say - what can I say
all the traits you had have all gone away get up and wash at the right time of day and greet the world with the right thing to say
You're so ideal - you're never down at heel you're so ideal - but you're so unreal
She hates the man and he hates the man
Because something strong inside
Has been denied them
But not him, oh, not him
He hates the girl and she hates the girl
Because something weak implied
They fought to push aside them
But not her, oh, not her
The girl isn't alive but the man is dead
Because it's all been said before
The girl isn't alive but the man is dead
Because you only have your mentor to draw your whore
Dead lumps of meat melt in this heat
Dead lumps of meat melt in this heat
She hates the man and he hates the man
Because something strong inside
Has been denied them
But not him, oh, not him
He hates the girl and she hates the girl
Because something weak implied
They fought to push inside them
But not her, oh, not her
This girl isn't alive but the man is dead
Because it's all been said before
The girl isn't alive but the man is dead
Because you only have your mentor to draw from
Dead lumps of meat melt in this heat
Dead lumps of meat melt in this heat but not them
Oh, but not them, oh, but not them
But not them, but not them
Oh, but not them, oh, but not them
She stepped into the hall of mirrors
Where she discovered a reflection of herself
Sometimes she saw her real face
And sometimes a stranger at her place
Even the greatest stars discover themselves in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars find their face in the looking glass
She fell in love with the image of herself
And suddenly the picture was distorted
Even the greatest stars dislike themselves in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars dislike themselves in the looking glass
She made up the person she wanted to be
And changed into a new personality
The artist is living in the mirror
With the echoes of himself
Even the greatest stars change themselves in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars live their lives in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars fix their face in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars fix their face in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars live their lives in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars live their lives in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars...
The bursting balloon coctails are soon
young glands young flesh invade the room a sardonic mood ughh...
watch the rich fatty eating raw fish with avid curiosity
oh piggy squeals and donkey brays-at a sober party doggy barks and horsey neighs-try to shock the party
impaled on pleasure impaled on a spear impaled with danger impaled with fear
a disfigured dismembered sex with a third world cast young glands young flesh the beating heart
oh piggy squeals and donkey brays-at a sober party doggy barks and horsey neighs-try to shock the party
the bursting balloons cocktails are soon young glands young flesh penetrate the room they fall on the camera lens against the tumble dry screen on the edit room floor lies a messier scene
I float quietly
Without a sound
Forever and ever 'til the end of time
And see myself lying still at the scene of the crime
Lying still at the scene of the crime
Like blood in the body
Like wind in the water
I passed over to the sea of light
Follow me into the sea of light
The sea of light
The miracle skin from the rainbow's edge
Let it rain down, let it descend
Riding on a river of stars
The heavens open at the tunnel's end
Like blood in the body
Like wind in the water
I passed over to the sea of light
Follow me into the sea of light
Like blood in the body
Like wind in the water
Let it rain down, let it descend
Sea of light
Zoo time is she and you time
The mammals are your favourite type, and you want her tonight
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos, elephants and tacky tigers
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me that's gonna leave
Flying domestic flying
And when the stewardess is near do not show any fear
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You are a khaki-coloured bombardier it's Hiroshima that you're nearing
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me that's gonna leave
Daily, except for Sunday
You dawdle in to the cafe where you meet her each day
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
As twenty cannibals have hold of you, they need their protein just like you do
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me that's gonna leave
Shower, another shower
You've got to look your best for her and be clean everywhere
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
The rain is pouring on the foreign town, the bullets cannot cut you down
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me that's gonna leave
Census, the latest census
There'll be more girls who live in town though not enough to go 'round
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You know that this town isn't big enough
Not big enough for the both of us
This town isn't big enough
Not big enough for the both of us
Bad word
Or bad deed
Unpunished invites grief
Here's
Rawhead and Bloodybones
Reaching from
Dark cupboard
Crouching under stair,
Lurking in chimney
Pond or well
We're down here
Held here
Dragged here
And drowned here by
Rawhead and Bloodybones
Pop-eyed
Horns
Bushy-tailed
Long teeth and
Claws as well
In the sharp gust of love my memory stirred
When time wreathed a rose a garland of shame
It's thorn my only delight war torn
Afraid to speak, we dare to breathe
Majestic, imperial a bridge of sighs
Solitude sails in a wave of forgiveness
On angels wings
Reach out your hands, don't turn your back
Don't walk away
How in the world, can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
Close to you 'till the last beat of my heart
At the close of day the sunset cloaks
These words in shadow play
Here and now, long and loud
My heart cries out
And the naked bone of an echo says
Don't walk away
Reach out your hands I'm just a step away
How in the world can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
Close to you till the last beat of my heart
How in the world can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart till the last beat
It glittered and it gleamed
For the arriving beauty queen
A ring and a car
Now you're the prettiest by far
No party she'd not attend
No invitation she wouldn't send
Transfixed by the inner sound
Of your promise to be found, oh
Nothing or no-one will ever
Make me let you down
Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
Kiss them for me, if I am delayed
It's Divoon, oh it's Serene
In the fountains pink champagne
Someone carving their devotion
In the heart shaped pool of fame, oh
Nothing or no-one will ever
Make me let you down
Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed
On the road to New Orleans
A spray of stars hit the screen
As the 10th impact shimmered
The forbidden candles beamed
Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed
Kiss them for me, kiss them for me
Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed
Kiss them for me
If your memory serves you well
We were gonna meet again and wait
So I'm goin' to unpack all my things
And sit before it gets too late
No man alive will come to you
With another tale to tell
But you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode
If your memory serves you well
I was gonna confiscate your lace
And wrap it up in a sailor's knot
And hide it in your case
If I knew for sure that it was yours
But it was oh so hard to tell
And you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode
If your memory serves you well
You'll remember that you're the one
That called on me to call on them
To give you your favors done
And after every plan had failed
And there was nothing more to tell
You knew that we would meet again
If your memory served you well
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode
If your memory serves you well
Coronets rest on a death's head mask
No-one is safe while the curfew lasts
But crusted orbs glitter, scepters gleam
While helmets of blood fill the screen
They look away and then they say
"For the good of the land, for the love of the man"
Standing alone, sitting alone
On the throne of the regal zone
Old limbs hang in the torture room
While old kings hang in the portrait room
Their noble eyes gaze on the uneasy dance
Of the squirming body on the marble plate
They look away and then they say
"For the good of the land, for the love of the man"
Standing alone, sitting alone
On the throne of the regal zone
Regal zone, alone
Standing alone, sitting alone
Alone, regal zone
Alone, regal zone
Regal zone
Regal zone
They look away and then they say
"For the good of the land, for the love of the man"
Standing alone, sitting alone
Alone, regal zone
Alone, regal zone
Alone, regal zone
Regal zone
deep in the heart
of a seething beast
think of bright lights
a splendid feast
but something's missing
she's feeling low
something's missing
she's going home
take me back -- I'm feeling low
take me back -- I'm going home
take me back -- I'm so alone
take me back I'm travelling home
suspicious stranger
there's something wrong
she is changed
ah but this is not
she is back
but she's not home
she is back
but she's still alone
she came back after all this time
she came back to warning signs
all is black when the lights are on
nothing rhymes its been so long
deep in the heart
of a seething beast
think of bright lights
a splendid feast
where you arrive
can be home
where you come from
isn't always home
take me back -- I'm coming home
take me back -- where I belong
take me back I'm leaving home
Following desire in your eyes, in your eyes
You're mine, you're mine, all mine
Following the signs in your mind, your crazy mind
You're mine, you're mine, all mine
Bring me the head of the Preacher man
From the sickening daze...
Oh the rotting sun washes down
The moonshine boys
The vultures drool
They pluck the gold dust from his eyes
And pick his bones until they're clean
The book of sorrows - The American dreams
The book of sorrows - The American dreams
Bring me the head of the Preacher man
On the blazing trail...
Heaven holds lone star promise
El Dorado - the insane theatre
Once more we rise
To drain the last of liquid sleep
The gift of chance
Eating the worm
The viper drops and dances
And everything stops and dances
We tumble down these lonely days
She falls into frame with a professional pout
But the Polaroids ignite upon seeing their subject
And the aperture shuts, too much exposure
Voyeur sucks into focus, floodlit the glossy kiss pit
But as emulsion drips down, down
The aperture shuts, too much exposure
Come into this room, come into this gloom
See the red light rinsing, another shutterslut wincing
The sagging half wit sister, pretty, pretty picture
Of an ancient nipple shrinking, that Kodakwhore winking
Till the aperture shuts, too much exposure
Come into this room, come into this gloom
See the red light rinsing, another shutterslut wincing
See the red light rinsing
Chasing a monsoon over the dune
Oh fly me to the moon, get me there soon
I don't have to prove I'll last longer than you
One hump or two any handicap will do against you
I'll be there soon-over the moon
I'll be there soon-over the moon
Chasing a monsoon over the dune
Oh there's a planet in my kitchen There's something funny in the soup Mop the floor, lock the door Flying saucers in the room
Did you hear that fly?
Knives and spoons of mountain dunes A freezer full of loony tunes Detergent bubbles There's millions of those buggers And there's a bucket in the moon
Did the kitchen sink wink?
Tornados of cornflakes And snowflakes Teacups in orbit Hello? Did you hear that fly?
Well I'm not waiting any longer I'll just sneak back in the larder And wait Plant Kitchen's taken over
When she was sensitive, she understood me
Well, she understood you and me and things in 1943
She does all these things that I can't stand
I get jealous when she stays with another man
She cracked
I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked
I'm hurt, you're right
Well, she cracked, I won't
She did things that I don't
She, self-destroyed, necessary to self-enjoy
I, self-developed, necessary to self-help
And She cracked
I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked
I'm hurt, but all right
Well, she cracked, I won't
She did things that I don't
She, eat garbage
Eat shit and get stoned
I, stay alone
Eating health food at home
She cracked
I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked
I'm hurt, but all right
And She cracked
I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked
I'm hurt, but all right
And She cracked
I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked
You dip your hands into my flesh
And say you won't reveal a scar
I must have faith in this procedure
It's a miracle, it's a wonder
A thousand hidden needles
In a thousand covered nerves
Stick pins in my receptacles
Look to your Voodoo doll, your mojo
Staying alive at five
For you to cure my ailments
Another soul is saved
With your bogus medications
What color shall we have today?
Depends on how I feel you say
Consult your research on the media
See blue, will calm my hysteria
Staying alive at five
For you to cure my ailments
Another soul is saved
With your bogus medications
Staying alive at five
With your empty containers
Another corpse ornaments your waiting room
A placebo effect reversed
A placebo effect
A placebo effect
Will you ever ever regret the placebo effect?
A ravenous greed for a brood to feed
A lusting spawn on a weekend fawn
Do you hunger for this, hunger for this?
Sucking leaches feel the need
Sucking dry unsated stomach pops
Sharpened knives, oh, with flying sparks
Sagging bodies with stretch marks
And your belly aches
Do you hunger for this, hunger for this?
Hunger for this, bled white with avarice
As the rust creeps
Corrosion seeps a rotting seed
Eat me, oh, feed me
With your belching foul breath
Your destructive kiss, death
Do you hunger for this, hunger for this?
Hunger for this, just a taste of a sweet kiss
Shanghaied on a locust flight
And the thirst from a vampire bite
Fills the emptiness inside
Consuming everything green eyed
We hunger, we hunger
We are hunger for this
Hunger for this
Hunger for this
The bliss of a sweet kiss
Hunger for this
(Hunger for this)
Hunger for this
(Hunger for this)
We hunger, we hunger
We're hunger for this
(Hunger for this)
Hunger for this
(Hunger for this)
Weaving in his basket chair
Twist you round a lock of hair
Made of straw -- the wicker man
Made of straw -- I'll blow your house down
Bishops falling from the windows
The lightening makes your hair stand on end
This dervish frenzy -- will make you run around
This dervish frenzy -- will turn your head around
Blow the house down
Stretching a rubber band
Miracles trip our feet where we stand
Shift the ground -- caterpillar man
Crumbling castles in the sand
Blow the house down
Feebly we put our heads out of our foxy lairs
We feel the chill from the night scare
Standing in the storm -- waiting for the flash to crash
Counting seconds before we turn to ash
It's getting nearer...
Blow the house down
This dervish frenzy -- will turn your head around
Standing on the stairs that want to fall down
It's getting nearer don't turn your head around
Made of straw
A lighted match
Burn the house down
Weaving in his basket chair
Twist you round a lock of hair
Made of straw -- the wicker man
Made of straw -- I'll blow your house down
Turn your head around
Pillars of salt watch as it all burns down
Down to the ground...
In the sharp gust of love
My memory stirred
When time wreathed a rose
A garland of shame
Its thorn my only delight
War torn, afraid to speak
We dare to breathe
Majestic
Imperial
A bridge of sighs
Solitude sails
In a wave of forgiveness
On angels' wings
Reach out your hands
Don't turn your back
Don't walk away
How in the world
Can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
Close to you
'til the last beat
Of my heart
At the close of day
The sunset cloaks
These words in shadowplay
Here and now, long and loud
My heart cries out
And the naked bone of an echo says
Don't walk away
Reach out your hands
I'm just a step away
How in the world
Can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
Close to you
'til the last beat
Of my heart
How in the world
Can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
'til the last beat
'til the last fleeting beat
This catacomb compels me
Corroding and inert
It weights and tries to pull me
Must I resist or re-assert?
The unchanged and the unchangeable
Doing the zombierama
Singing Oh come and be like me,
We're all sisters and brothers
Ejected to this state of being
Don't bury me with this
I'm in a state of catalepsy
Can I really exist?
Clawing from the inside
Drowning in your chant
Thoughts come flooding through me
Despairing unity
The unchanged and the unchangeable
Doing the zombierama
Singing Oh come and be like me,
We're all sisters and brothers
Red and white carnations
Can't intoxicate my brain
This blissful suffocation
It is driving me to pain
Oh what a bloody shame
The unchanged and the unchangeable
Doing the zombierama
Singing Oh come and be like me,
We're all sisters and brothers
I'm not your sister
Or your brother
Don't bury me with this
Join hands-join hands
We're all sisters and brothers
Sisters and brothers
I can't relate to you
Ready? (I'm ready!)
O! I'm gonna get you in the end!
Getcha! Getcha! Getcha!

You'll never, never, ever get to heaven.
You'll never climb the ladder to heaven.
So just shake it, shake it, shake it,
Shake it baby - and twist and shout.
Our father which art in heaven.
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done.
Let me take you down
To testify
Under the brow of a sparkling sky
We'll dance away
A distant day
And shout our sins
In a passion play
Over we go
Diving for pearls
Over we go
From the edge of the World
Let the fire fall in
The footsteps we leave
Painted on the ground
We'll watch the stars
Come crashing down
Upon our heads
Like a madding crown
Over we go
Diving for pearls
Over we go
From the edge of the World
Let me take you down
To testify
Under the brow of a sparkling sky
We'll dance away
'Til the day is done
Then rise again
To unwrap the Sun
Over we go
Diving for pearls
Over we go
From the edge of the World
So many fools blocking my motion
Clouding my eyes must be the potion
Spots on my eyes must be the lotion
Spots on my eyes must be the lotion
Love in a void, it's so numb
Avoid in love, it's so dumb
Love in a void
So many bigots for my liking
So many critics too few writing
Rabid dogs that aren't biting
Rabid dogs that aren't biting
Love in a void, it's so numb
Avoid in love, it's so dumb
Love in a void
Jaded reputation on which you're staking
Lots of money for the making
For all the stars they're just faking
For all the stars they're just baking
Love in a void, it's so numb
Avoid in love, it's so dumb
Love in a void
Love is, love is, love in a void
Avoid in love, it's so numb
So dumb
Love is, love is, love in a void
Avoid in love, it's so numb
So dumb
Love in a void, it's so numb
Love in a void, avoid in love
It's so numb, so dumb
Your parties fall around you
Another night beckons to you
Your parties fall around you
Another night beckons to you
Shadows look as you resist the gloom
Faded hues issue forth and bloom
A bed of leaves for a lover
Awake with a kiss and rise asunder
And when the party's over
You retreat in a realm of slumber
In your mind, crystal lights rebound
Wheels spin round and you hear the sound
Of autumn's call at party's fall, autumn's call
Through rose-tinted glass you still remember
The gladness, not sadness, only laughter
In your mind vicious lights rebound
Wheels spin round and you hear the sound
Of autumn's call at party's fall, autumn's call
The smile in the mirror grows weaker
The laughter you heard is growing fainter
Your parties fall around you
The night forgets to rouse you
Your party's fall astounds you
An aura of sadness abounds you
Glad rags sigh, maybe you're alone
Maybe you're alone inside, don't hide
Hurting all the time, hurting deep inside
Don't cry, don't cry
My happiness depends on knowing
This friend is never alone
On your own, a party on our own
We'll have a party on our own, inside
F**k you, I win this prize
Stardom pardons the lies
The miles, the minutes passing by
My window
(Yeah Yeah Yeah)
Rising up through the ashes and grime
A new me on the other side
Hello, Hello, I'm breaking through
This old skin
(Woo-oo woo woo, woo-oo woo woo)
Hello, Hello, I'm coming through my new skin
(Yeah yeah yeah)
So take the dips with the tricks
Gimme shimmy shimmy hip shake
Hello, Hello, let's kick out the trash of ((anybody got a guess?))
(Woo-oo, woo woo, woo-oo, woo woo)
Hello, Hello, I'm coming in my new skin
(unintelligible utterance)
(Yeah yeah yeah)
F**k you, I win this prize
Stardom pardons the lies
The miles, the minutes pissing by
My window
(Woo-oo, woo woo, woo-oo, woo woo)
Hello, Hello, I'm coming in my new skin
Hello, Hello, I'm hungry for some new skin
Hello, it's me, I'm coming for you in my new skin
Hey, hey, let's kick out the trash
Hey, hey, let's kick out the trash
The word you learn to love (The disapproval that you hate)
That's Mother (From Mother)
They teach you to respect... (Makes you always want to please)
Mother (Mother)
The one who keeps you warm (The one who keeps you warm)
And shelters you from harm (And shelters you from harm)
Watch out she'll stunt your mind (She'll open up your mind)
'Til you emulate her kind (To make you good and make you kind)
Is that Mother? (Mother)
Downstairs I don't know (Downstairs I don't know)
If it's the springs in her bed (Why I feel safe in my bed)
Or her joints I hear (When I know I'm alone)
Creaking overhead (She must be watching overhead)
Mother (Mother)
She'll twist the words you speak (She'll kiss and say goodbye)
If she thinks you're near escape (If you want to go away)
Mother (Mother)
So she clutches at her brood (So she gathers up her brood)
And sits across its face (And smiles into their face)
She sucks up all its energy (She beams down vital energy)
And smothers their last breath (She gave us our first breath)
Oh Mother (Mother)
Got to get up, get into life
Got to get up and live this life
Got to get up and win this life
No more looking down -- look up
Skyward up your eyes -- devour the sun now!
Gonna shake my bones gonna shed my skin
Shake out what's mine, shake out this thing
I'm gonna shake my bones, gonna shed my skin
Shake out what's mine, shake out this thing
I've been here too long -- now I'm up
Skyward up this song -- devour the sun now!
Bad luck you say -- it's just not your day
But you've got to reach out -- grab your destiny
Kick up the dust -- kick up a storm
Kick out the past and take control
There's no-one else -- it's up to you
Are you gonna wake up, or cry boo hoo?
No-one else but you can rise up
You know what to do got to get up
No more looking down -- look up
Come and claim your crown -- got to get up
Into the light, I see it fine
Into the light, our hearts entwine
Remember when your time again
Remember when your time again
Standing in the light
Always sitting on the line
Never on a side
Always wanting to be right
Standing in the light
I never wanted to be right
Now I'm attracted by the light
And blinded by the sight
Into the light
Into the light
Into the light
Into the light
Into the light, I see it fight
Into the light, a new horizon
Bleached into white, kept out of sight
Bleached into white, kept out of sight
Standing in the light
Always sitting on the line
Never on a side
Pushing out the light
Standing in the light
I never wanted to be right
Now I'm attracted by the light
And blinded by the sight
Remember when your time again
Remember when your time again
Into the light, I see it fine
Into the light, our hearts entwine
Remember when your time again
Remember when your time again
Dead ahead in the night
Burning in the light
And knowing that it's right
Driving in the night
Dead ahead in the night
Burning in the light
And knowing that it's right
Driving in the night
Remember when your time again
Remember when your time again
Into the light
Into the light
Into the light
Into the light
Into the light
Into the light
Into the light
Into the light
Into the light
