Jonah Hex (2010)

Actors

Plot
During Grant's presidency, Jonah Hex is a remorseless bounty hunter. In the Civil War, he was a rebel whose honor put him afoul of a Confederate general, Quentin Turnbull, who murdered Jonah's family while Jonah watched. As a result of the ordeal, Jonah's face is disfigured and he can talk with the dead. After staging his own death, Turnbull, with a group of rebel stalwarts, hatches a plan to bring the Union to its knees. Grant wants Hex to stop it. While the nation readies to celebrate Independence Day, Hex and an unlikely ally have little time to stop Turnbull and his weapon of mass destruction.

Quotes:

[from trailer]::Lieutenant Evan: Quentin Turnbull surfaced about a month ago.::Lieutenant Grass: We want Turnbull dead.::Jonah Hex: Why didn't you just say that to begin with?

[a dozen Union soldiers burst into Lilah's room]::Jonah Hex: Christ, woman, how many men you seeing today?

Jeb Turnbull: You killed me, Jonah!::Jonah Hex: You drew on me, Jeb.::Jeb Turnbull: Yeah, that was a mistake.::Jonah Hex: Well, obviously.

Jeb Turnbull: You disobeyed a direct order.::Jonah Hex: To burn down a hospital. Your father was gonna kill all those people, just to make a point. I couldn't stand for that. I'm surprised you could.::Jeb Turnbull: He was our commanding officer, he was my father! I didn't have a choice.::Jonah Hex: Neither did I.

Jeb Turnbull: I've been watching you, and I've been watching him, and I gotta tell you, it's getting real hard to tell the difference between you.::Jonah Hex: Your father is a monster, you hear me?::Jeb Turnbull: And you ain't? From where I sit, you're just two men bent on murdering people to make your own pain go away. Life like that, it sounds a hell of a lot like being damned.

[Jonah rides into town, dragging three dead bodies with his horse]::Jonah Hex: These the boys you wanted?::Stunk Crick Mayor: The Clayton boys?::Jonah Hex: That's right.::Stunk Crick Mayor: It would appear we have a little problem, Mr. Hex. They's four Clayton boys. This here's only three. I don't see anyway we could pay you the agreed-upon "reconciption"...::[Hex tosses him a burlap sack. The Mayor glances inside, and retches]::Jonah Hex: The rest of him was too fat for my horse.

Dumbass Outlaw: He don't look so tough.::Bartender: He looks tough to me.::Dumbass Outlaw: Not to me. Watch this.::[draws a knife]::Dumbass Outlaw: Hey, Hex! What happened to your face-?::[a gunshot blasts him through a window, and Hex lifts his hat off the bar, revealing his pistol]::Jonah Hex: Cut myself shaving, what happened to yours?::[drops a coin on the bar]::Jonah Hex: For the broken window.

Stunk Crick Mayor: You surely have done us quite a favor.::Jonah Hex: Transaction's all it was. I'll collect my hundred dollar bounty on them and be on my way.::Stunk Crick Mayor: That there, Mr. Hex was more of a limited-time offer.::Jonah Hex: But you'll pay it just the same.::Stunk Crick Mayor: Hell, Mr. Hex, there's an unscrupulous character or two would pay double that for your stinkin' hide!::[Hex glances at the undertaker's]::Jonah Hex: Five coffins...::[counts the Mayor, the Sheriff and his deputies]::Jonah Hex: Sure you don't need eight?

[Hex rides into town]::Stunk Crick Mayor: Jonah Hex...::Stunk Crick Sheriff: Jonah Hex...::[All the townspeople run inside and slam their doors]

Quentin Turnbull: Explain it to me again, Burke.::Burke: There is no explanation. I gave the bastard two barrels in the chest. By all rights he should be as dead as Billy here.::Quentin Turnbull: Well, Jonah Hex doesn't know how to die. He'll have to be educated.::Burke: I have no problem educating the man.

Reconciliation (2009)

Actors

Plot
RECONCILIATION is a groundbreaking, provocative story about an estranged father and son struggling to overcome the heartbreaking consequences of their past. Grant Taylor (Eric Nenninger) has been troubled by intense childhood memories ever since his wife, Sara (Chelsey Crisp), gave him the exciting news..."You are going to be a dad!" As fatherhood nears, Grant privately wrestles with his embarrassment and anger toward his own father. His memories come to a head when Sara receives a call informing them that Grant's dad, Jeff (Jack Maxwell), is terminally ill and his last wish is to see his son. With Sara's encouragement, Grant reluctantly goes to see the man he disowned at his 10th birthday party, when he found out his father was gay. At the hospice, father and son confront the past as they come face to face for the first time in 16 years. Will Grant forgive his father for abandoning their family? Will Jeff forgive Grant for the hateful words he said years ago? What will it take to reconcile? This thought-provoking film of heartache and triumph will inspire you to love more deeply, seek forgiveness from people you have hurt, and forgive those who have hurt you.

What do you think about?::[silence]::Sandra: You must think about something?::[silence]::Sandra: What about feelings then?::[silence]::Sandra: You must *feel* something?::[pause]::Todd: Fear.::Sandra: Fear?::Todd: Fear and discipline.::Sandra: Now?::Todd: Always.

Church: My daddy was in maintenance and he had a saying, he used to say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

[after Caine 607 loses an eye to Todd during training]::Colonel Mekum: Do you know how much it costs to breed you, you big moron? To train you? To feed you? What good is this man now? He's got no depth perception! All he can do is walk point and take the first hit!

Church: Todd was our best man.::Colonel Mekum: You still don't get it, do you, Captain?::[He draws his pistol and shoots one of the wounded soldiers right between the eyes]::Colonel Mekum: Your men are obsolete.

[after Todd kills the last of the "new and improved" soldiers]::Rubrick: [over radio] Crawler One, do you copy? Crawler Two, do you copy? Are any of you men out there? Can any of you men hear me?::[Todd picks up the radio]::Todd: Your men... are obsolete.

Colonel Mekum: A growl? He heard a growl?::Rubrick: Well, he didn't say the word "growl." He said "a throat noise." But I asked him to imitate it and it sounded like... a growl to me.

[first lines]::Female Voice: [to audience of very young boys] A soldier does not speak until spoken to by a superior officer. A soldier shows no mercy. Mercy is weakness. Weakness is death. A soldier... [squealing pig led in for slaughter]

Law enforcement officials caught alleged gunman Dylann Roof, whose assault on Wednesday came in a year that has seen months of racially charged protests across the United States over killings of black men. Roof was arrested after a traffic stop in Shelby, North Carolina, about 220 miles (354 km) north of Charleston, said police chief Gregory Mullen. "This individual committed a tragic, heinous crime last night," Mullen told reporters. U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said her office was investigating whether to charge Roof with a hate crime motivated by racial or other prejudice. Such crimes typically carry harsher penalties.

Massacre in Charleston: 9 Shot Dead at Historic Black Church, Police Search for White Gunman

Duration: 24:38
Updated: 18 Jun 2015

http://democracynow.org - Police are searching for a white male gunman who opened fire inside a historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina, killing nine people and wounding several others. The victims were attending Bible study at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church when the attack occurred, shortly after 9 p.m. Wednesday. The known victims include the church’s pastor, the Rev. Clementa Pinckney, a state senator, and his sister. Police described the shooting as a "hate crime." Known as "Mother Emanuel," the Emanuel AME Church is home to the oldest black congregation south of Baltimore. It was burned in the 1820s during a slave rebellion and has stood at its present location since 1872. The church has its roots in the early 19th century and was founded in part by a freed slave named Denmark Vesey, who was later executed for organizing a slave revolt.

Charleston Mayor: Church Shooting Is A Hate Crime Charleston Mayor: Church Shooting Is A Hate Crime Charleston Mayor: Church Shooting Is A Hate Crime Police and the Mayor of Charleston, South Carolina, discuss the massacre at a church which left nine people dead. Pictured: The white gunman who shot dead NINE people in mass 'race-hate' shooting at historic black church in Carolina before sparing one woman and telling her, 'tell the world what happened' Police have released CCTV images of a white slender gunman they believe killed nine people in a race-hate crime at an African American church in South Carolina and warned he is extremely dangerous. The suspect opened fire after storming a weekly bible study group at the 150-year-old Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston and opened fire on the room but spared one women so she could tell the world what happened, according to eye witnesses. The city has now been placed on lockdown as police try to track down the man, who they described as a young white male, aged between 21 and 25 and five foot nine in height. They also revealed how the suspect fled the scene in a 'distinctive' getaway car, which they believe is still in the Charleston area. Eight of the victims died at the scene, and one later in a hospital. At least one injured person is being treated in a hospital. Rev. Clementa Pinckney, pastor of the church and South Carolina state senator, is among the dead and his sister has also reportedly been shot. The city is now on lockdown as a police in bullet-proof vests launch a huge manhunt to find the killer, who entered the church and sat down quietly before suddenly standing up and opening fire. According to Dot Scott, president of the Charleston NAACP, a female survivor told her family members the gunman came into the church at around 9pm. Mr Scott told the Post and Courier that he told the woman she could escape and said he was letting her live so she could tell the world what happened. Meanwhile, family members who were being briefed by chaplains after the shooting reportedly said that a five-year-old girl survived the attack after she was told to play dead by her grandmother.

This happened at a historic black church in Charleston and it's being called a hate crime. A white man walked into a historic African-American church in Charleston, South Carolina, and opened fire during a Bible study class, killing nine people Wednesday evening. The suspect was still at large early Thursday morning. And the shooting at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, the oldest AME church in the South, is being investigated as a hate crime. “The only reason someone would walk into a church and shoot people that were praying is hate,” said Charleston Mayor Joe Riley. Eight churchgoers died at the scene; a ninth at a hospital, police said. Officials wouldn’t say how many people were at the prayer service during the shooting. There were survivors, said Charleston Police Chief Greg Mullen, but he didn’t elaborate. Historic significance Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church has been a presence in Charleton since 1816 when African-American members of Charleston’s Methodist Episcopal Church formed their own congregation after a dispute over burial grounds. It was burned to the ground at one point, but rebuilt. Every Wednesday evening, the church holds a Bible study in its basement.

Witnesses say a gunman entered Emanuel AME Church, a historic African-American church, Wednesday night during a prayer meeting. He killed the pastor, state Sen. Clementa Pinckney, and eight parishioners. The suspect, described as a white man in his early 20s, fled the scene and is still at large. Charleston Police Chief Greg Mullen is calling the shooting a hate crime. Mullen briefed reporters Thursday morning. Anthony Mason reports. Nine people were killed late Wednesday at a historic African-American church in Charleston, S.C. after a white gunman walked in during a prayer meeting and began shooting in what authorities described as a hate crime. Charleston Police Chief Greg Mullen told a press conference early Thursday that the gunman, described as being clean-shaven and approximately 21 years old with sandy blonde hair and a slender build, was still at large and "extremely dangerous." "This is a tragedy that no community should have to experience," Mullen said. "It is senseless and unfathomable in today's society that someone would walk into a church during a prayer meeting and take their lives." "The only reason that someone could walk into a church and shoot people praying is out of hate," said Charleston Mayor Joseph P. Riley. "It is the most dastardly act that one could possibly imagine, and we will bring that person to justice ... This is one hateful person." Mullen said the scene was chaotic when police arrived, and the officers thought they had the suspect tracked with a police dog, but he got away. He also announced that a reward for information leading to the shooter's capture would be offered Thursday and that the FBI would aid the investigation. Authorities said the crime scene investigation had been complicated by a bomb threat that had been called in, forcing police to move members of the media back and close off a large section of the street where the shooting took place.

Pastor, 8 others, fatally shot at black church in Charleston, SC; police call it a hate crime

Order: Reorder

Updated: 18 Jun 2015

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — A white man opened fire during a prayer meeting inside a historic black church in downtown Charleston on Wednesday night, killing nine people, including the pastor, in an assault that authorities described as a hate crime. The shooter remained at large Thursday morning. Police Chief Greg Mullen said he believed the attack at the Emanuel AME Church was a hate crime, and police were looking for a white male in his early 20s. Mullen said the scene was chaotic when police arrived, and the officers thought they had the suspect tracked with a police dog, but he got away. "We will put all effort, we will put all resources and we will put all of our energy into finding this individual who committed this crime tonight," he said. The FBI will aid the investigation, Mullen told a news conference that was attended by FBI Special Agent in Charge David A. Thomas. Charleston Mayor Joseph P. Riley called the shooting "the most unspeakable and heartbreaking tragedy." "The only reason that someone could walk into a church and shoot people praying is out of hate," Riley said. "It is the most dastardly act that one could possibly imagine, and we will bring that person to justice. ... This is one hateful person." State House Minority leader Todd Rutherford told The Associated Press that the church's pastor, state Sen. Clementa Pinckney, was among those killed. Pinckney 41, was a married father of two who was elected to the state house at age 23, making him the youngest member of the House at the time. "He never had anything bad to say about anybody, even when I thought he should," Rutherford, D-Columbia, said. "He was always out doing work either for his parishioners or his constituents. He touched everybody." The attack came two months after the fatal shooting of an unarmed black man, Walter Scott, by a white police officer in neighboring North Charleston that sparked major protests and highlighted racial tensions in the area. The officer has been charged with murder, and the shooting prompted South Carolina lawmakers to push through a bill helping all police agencies in the state get body cameras. Pinckney was a sponsor of that bill. In a statement, Gov. Nikki Haley asked South Carolinians to pray for the victims and their families and decried violence at religious institutions. "We'll never understand what motivates anyone to enter one of our places of worship and take the life of another," Haley said. Soon after Wednesday night's shooting, a group of pastors huddled together praying in a circle across the street. Community organizer Christopher Cason said he felt certain the shootings were racially motivated. "I am very tired of people telling me that I don't have the right to be angry," Cason said. "I am very angry right now." Even before Scott's shooting in April, Cason said he had been part of a group meeting with police and local leaders to try to shore up relations. The Emmanuel AME church is a historic African-American church that traces its roots to 1816, when several churches split from Charleston's Methodist Episcopal church. One of its founders, Denmark Vesey, tried to organize a slave revolt in 1822. He was caught, and white landowners had his church burned in revenge. Parishioners worshipped underground until after the Civil War.

Top Church, Lustre

Well we had just begun
When the night came down
Sweating rain on everyone
Anyone who was hanging around
You say there's something strange going on
I cannot see a thing
And pretty soon then we'll be drenched to the bone
And my soul is freezi
And we really should decide
Who's taking who for this
Ride the bandwagon into the ditch
Smile for the many you shocked
Bless my soul and drop a stitch
Strike while the irony is hot
And I don't have much time
There's so much left to take
It'd ha
rd to know what's genuine
And what's a genuine fake
I think there's something weird going on
Something unforseen
The best impression of a succubus
That I have ever seen
Before we get too fried
Let's get on with the
Ride the ghost train now into the
dark
Ride it right into the ground
Up through the suburbs, graveyards and parks
Going around and around
If I never see you again
That will be way too soon
And if I ever get over this
I will be over the moon
I hope that something new comes along
omething more my style
I hope that someone else comes along
And makes it worth my while
And it's lust and sloth and pride
That makes me want to
Ride the rollercoaster for all that it's worth
Live it all up to the hilt
If you can't take it with you
Away from this earth
Might as well take it full tilt
Ride the old horse through goldrush town
If that's the kind of company you keep
You're getting very tired and you need to lie down

Top Church, Dome

I saw this film about some people who lived in a dome
In a beautiful field next to a river of foam
I fell asleep before it was over
I must have dreamt of the end
They'd be young forever as long as they stayed in the dome
But barbarians came and set fire to their home
Exposed the dome dwellers to the outside
They must have known it was the end
All of their wealth couldn't save them
All died inside the flames
Destined to make that same old mistake
God that's such a shame
The barbarians picked through the ashes of the dome
Then went on their way, yeah, continued to roam
But a curse was laid upon them
They must have known it was the end
All of their strength couldn't save them
All died inside the flood
Destined to make that same old mistake
The way of all flesh and blood

Top Church, Old Flame

Naomi will not be consoled by your blues
She calls down the crows then she pulls on her shoes
Out into the empty street she walks
Past the little piles of smouldering leaves
Beware, an old flame is still burning there
Don't stare, shadows in
the smoke whisper everywhere
Everywhere, anywhere is nowhere when you don't care

Top Church, Mistress

You're shivering again
After all that we've been through
Is that all you can do
I didn't wanna come here
Now I don't wanna go
Is there some trick involved with this
As if you would tell me so
Everything is going wrong
All my songs are co
ming true
And another thing, that halo you wear on your head
I haven't seen one of those for years
Where have you been
In bed, you're dead
Vanishing again
After everything we've said
It's all too much for your poor little head
I've never ever been
here
I'll never ever leave
Is there some string attached to this
Well I can well believe

Top Church, The Disillusionist

In autumn he comes to this town
When the peoples guard is down
On a day like today
Overcast and gray
Bells were all ringing
The birds stopped their singing
The wind caught in the trees
Screaming to be free
He alights from the platform
his usual uniform
His skin looks like he slept in it
Or had something rotten kept in it
And snakes stir in the thistles
Back of cats neck bristles
'Round vicious lips the fur is stained
The disillusionist is back again
They say that he's famous fr
om the waist down
But the top half of his body is a corpse
His gold won't buy him sleep
His poverty runs so deep
In winter he cracks, in summer he warps
Hang around the backstage door
But he knows what you're waiting for
You rub yourself against hi
s fame
Already ready to bear the blame
He asks you "Did you like my show?"
As if he really wants to know
Then doesn't wait for your reply
He just pulls you back inside
You've started feeling dizzy
It isn't you or is he
Persuade you mentally
Undre
ss you incidentally
Down the swaying corridor
People you feel sorry for
But when he puts the gaze on you
You're amazed at what you'll let him do
He can turn wine into water
Mother against daughter
Juggles busy deadlines
Gets himself off headlines
Surrounded by his minions
Who never have opinions
Performing little tricks for you
Puts it in a fix for you
Smashes your watch with a hammer
Caresses you with camera
And says the magic words
That nobody's ever heard
Now the slur is fading
Reality
all-pervading
It only makes you want him more
It only makes you fawn him more
And he does the Indian rope trick
The one that makes you seasick
And he keeps on filling up your cup
But you keep on filling up
And some of it's done with mirrors
And s
ome of it's done with scissors
And some of it's done with cables
And his hands under the table
It doesn't matter you want to believe
It doesn't matter if you have to leave
You won't escape his orbit
And the things that you must forfeit
And the audi
ence seems familiar
Some of them in particular
Bet you they are his plants
When he plays the game of chance
He reads the minds of jilted girls
And the story really unfurls
Cast a fortune for the man in the suit
Who's suffering is very acute
There's
a rabbit in his hat

Top Church, Swan Lake

Oh my ugly duckling, nobody loves you
Daddy said he'd buy you some ballet shoes
But he spent all he had on hash
And avoiding another crash
Now who will look after you
One night your shoulders will ache
But next day when you wake
You'll sprout wild wings, and fly
Just like in Swan Lake
Oh you helpless birdlings, nobody wants you
How will you ever survive out of the nest
And the wolf will put his nose in
And the water is so frozen

Top Church, Authority

She says it's ok
The rat just burned an end to ten men but
Who's gonna say
It's just not my day
She's got enough stuff to get me tough and
She's not gonna play
The holiday is over
The honeymoon is over
The garden's overgrown
The trust is rusted
The rake's been busted
The seeds are sown
The signs on your breath
What do you expect
Echo in the hall
The ghost of a picture
Still haunts the monster
Bedroom mirror broke
I suppose you'll say she made a fool of me
Oh, but she has authority
It used to be fine
Days full of music, nights full of music
Music all the time
Invisible lies
I tried my best but I transgressed it
Used to be fine
Chances are used up
Finances used up
Energy is low
Letters are returned
Lovers are spurned
Deliver quite a blow
The signs are disaster
I wouldn't put it past her
The diver's in the dark
The stale perfume
In her old room
Hell of a shock
I suppose you'll say she made a fool of me
Oh, but she has authority
I guess that that's old
The curtain comes down the circus leaves town
And leaves the game to fold
I guess that I think
The world keeps spinnin', people keep sinnin'
All the rest is just bullshit
The shadow's getting longer
The widow's getting younger
The cup doth overflow
The luxury of painted
Babies in a crib
On with the show
Life is a tangle
Of one-night triangles
The tangle of life leaps
You sleep like a baby
You're precious as a ruby
Goodbye, everything
I suppose you'll say she made a fool of me

Top Church, Witch - Hunt

People 'round here say you're a witch
They're intrigued in seeing you roast
They really intend to burn you my friend
I think that's the bit they like most
Wake up baby, the mob are on their way
Howling, growling, they want your blood
They're out to get it today
You had to go and cure the mayor's itch
Then you took care of his clerk
You fixed up John Green and the old bishop's spleen
Put everyone out of work
Wake up baby, oh baby open your eyes

Top Church, Day Of The Dead

Day of the dead down in Mexico
You and the dead on a holiday
You ever thought that you'd been here before
You ever did in a desperate way
On the beach stands a donkey who was waiting for you
He hee-haws, stamping his hoof
A fine blue day is tracked by the boys
Nodding up on the roof
And in the meetings held in the darkness
And in the darkness everyone flies
Ethereal monsters stagger in velvet
And I know you're fallin' behind
Drink in the bar down in the motel
I get involved with a prostitute
She's got a skull like a seraphim
I figure she is a messenger
She's at the heart of the festival
She's got the hands of a picadore
She asks the spirits for a romance
She gets a ghost for a paradise
And in the weakness lost in the darkness
How soon the darkness lost all our plans
Come down the mountain decked out in satin
And I know you're fallin' behind
Day of the dead down in Mexico
We write a book on the Alamo
We filled the tank up at Texaco
We buy a trinket for curio
We walk big stuff through the marketplace
Drifting smoke, dollars, and aftershave
I got the mind of Illustrio
Emerging from the jealous cave
Crawlin' out of hell on a chain
And there's a demon down in the darkness
And in the darkness demons are blind
Jokers and aces, brusing on black felt

Top Church, Business Woman

Imagine her, all of her wealth
And in the arms of somebody else
I imagine her in bed
With her communications skills
Calendar full of crooks and pimps
Paying the bills, being well-read
You'll never understand
The wonderful mind I found her to have
The powerful beauty in her eyes
Look at the business woman
She's got a head on her shoulders
Look at the business woman
She's not that much older than you
Could she have fears in her soul
It's not like it flutters, index roles
When she reveals the secret of life
All of the gifts, guilty and swift
Promise her anything, oh the lift
You're gonna have to leave your wife
She'll never understand
The wonderful mind I found her to have
The beautiful power in her eyes
Look at the business woman
She's got a head on her shoulders
Look at the business woman
She's not that much older than you
And when she comes the stars explode
And squeezing results in every load
Just when she comes, she's suddenly gone
Maybe you'll find her, maybe you won't
Maybe she loves you, maybe she don't
Maybe you'll find you are alone
You'll never comprehend
All of the means, all of the ends
The business woman in your arms
Look at the business woman
She's got a head on her shoulders
Look at the business woman
She's not that much older than you
Look at the business woman
She's got a head on her shoulders
Look at the business woman

Top Church, Someone Special

Said I've had visions of weeping
She said I've had the same about you
They come to me sometimes when I'm sleeping
I said that's a way for me too
Now it's been a long time and I don't have the mind
To justify what we've been through
Logic is fine and science can be kind
But it can't define me and you
Yet I thought I had something special to say
But this nightmarish world
Makes you throw your thoughts away
As though I was someone special today
We say why are the innocent bleeding
Is there not a thing we can do
They say please swallow this trust we are feeding
And don't worry, it's bad for you
Now it's been a long show and I thought you should know
It's time for us to play our hand
But words are much too slow they lost meaning years ago
Isn't that how this began
Some say now! The truth is before us
Others say oh no this is not real
Some say be cruel then they'll adore you
Others say you can't touch till you feel
Now its been trip and its only the tip
Of the iceberg I'm trying to melt
Our tickets have been ripped and you've got to bite your lip

Top Church, Spark

I'm saturated. I'm wet with your tears, you spill so easily.
In reflection I'll see you again.
Approach me, soak me.
Faith, faith, breathe.
'Cause it's here, it's where the air is clear,
Where far off things could be quite near.
No repairs are needed, just a spark.
I'm interested, you've always been a subject, that I could learn.
Splendid hils, unconquerable mountains.
Climb, don't ever turn back.
Seed, seed, grow.
(chorus)

Top Church, Tantalized

God I've been asleep so long, I've been away
Back from software limbo the natives call today
I let their promises bind me
I let seductive logic blind me
I embraced a machine, I went through the routine
And I hid from the people who were trying to find me
Till the day comes when you realize
Otherwise you never care
Pandora's box reveals a new surprise
Can't wait to see your eyes, now you've been tantalized
For a hundred and one voluptuous days I broke the law
The labyrinth was closing so we panicked up a door
I let their wanton flesh obsess me
I felt their dreams and drugs assess me
I was hired and fired yet never inspired
Flattering, chattering words to impress me
All that glittered had me mesmerized
Otherwise I would have dared
Guess the nature of our enterprise
Can't stop to sympathize, how you've been tantalized
I turned up in some harsh doomed city on another plane
I couldn't believe the room I got or the guests I entertained
I felt the dirty streets surround me
I let the buzzing swarm confound me
I gave money to ghosts, I insulted my hosts

Top Church, Terra Nova Cain

Turn down the gravity, this is all too heavy
I'll show you how the ancients once travelled
They used to call this a chevy
Just before the continents sank, you could still go outside
I was sitting on a hot off ramp
She pulled up and asked me if I needed a ride
Terra nova cain I need you again
Deep space jam on an alien terrain
Terra nova cain I need you again
Some for the little boys who live down the lane
I should have known there was something amiss
She had unearthly eyes
She had a way of sifting through your mind
Like she'd done it to a million guys
She said will you help with our research
I said take me to your leader
She put her foot down on the oscillation pedal
She was a transdimensional speeder
Terra nova cain I need you again
Protect me from the meteor rain
Terra nova cain I need you again
Put your explosion probe right into my brain
They brought me back after thousands of years
I hadn't aged at all
We used to float around her weightless bedroom
That drove me right up the wall
Terra nova cain I need you again
You dropped me off and you've left me quite drained
Terra nova cain I need you again

Top Church, The Feast

There were many guests at the table
Misfortune, jealousy, and sloth
Acting fine, drink the wine
Spill it on the tablecloth
What a surprise for you to come home to
Look through the eyes that you've grown used to
It's impossible, yes I know
It's too tempting too, I admit
It's unforgivable, but I have nothing to lose
Then when the feast was over
The guests withdrew to the fire
Talking proud, laughing out loud
To pretend, deceive and admire
Rats danced on the Persian rug
The cats fell down drunk in the chair
They reverted again to women and men
If only you had been there

Top Church, The Great Machine

(Kilbey/Wilson-Piper/Koppes/Powles)
A thousand beggars cram the street
You hit so deep into the sheets
Pontoons buckle jungle beats
The day they turned off the great machine
The overworld so slow with ice
Contrary to the committees advice
Oh baby did you look so nice
The day they turned off the great machine
The gardens choke with bursting blooms
Weddings frozen melted grooms
Chasing you through endless rooms
The day they turned off the great machine
The shadows run for phantom trains
Slowly blowing out their brains
Society dames down the drains
The day they turned off the great machine
The day they turned off the great machine
Well I'm waiting for you in the square
Everyone was meeting there
Everyone, yeah, there, unaware

Top Church, The Night Is Very Soft

Tiny drops of water glistened on her black fur
Tailights in earshot, headlights shine through her
And on legs crossed on the red surge setee
Sat next to nothing and she looked right through me, and on
Inside the car sat a sulky blonde
And on her lap the road went on and on
As she dresses I look to the ground
Perhaps I know where the place can be found, and on
Outside, the night is very soft, but where does it end
We'd pile into the Buick, but you've got to have money for that
92 people taking it too fast
They never noticed where their lines are cast, and on
I've got a milk white electric guitar
Walked in the shop and I peeled off the notes

Top Church, The View

Someone fell across me
Regretting their honesty
Shook away their cautious care
Looked right through me like I wasn't there
River came to meet me
Relationships can be like water
Deep and shallow the popular bed
Springs to mind my undetected closure
You'll only scratch the surface
If you bounce around like an adult ball
Oh yeah, oh yeah, it's nice up there
Be a lighthouse, don't block out your view
Whispers in a cream cake
Sweet and quiet again tonight
Goodness on a rare stick
Sometimes healthy living should be crushed
Now I search for hours
Rubble kills my fingers looks
I'll only stop when it hurts a lot
My heart is slender, my wooden tambourine's drenched in blues
Redesign your answer
If you're the post then prove you're tall
Oh yeah, oh yeah, we slid around
Polish your window and don't block out your view
Take this daring leap
Wake you've been asleep
Go attack your life

Top Church, This Ashphalt Eden

I walk alone, this ashphalt eden I must have outgrown
Just flesh and bone, no indication, no way to get home
Now feel their hands, and their demands
And understand the way that it could have been
I remember myself as I wanted to be
When you walk past my cage I'm gonna set myself free
If it was obvious then, well it's just history
It's too late, it's too dark to see
They speak their names
They still walk in fire and can't feel the flames
And understand the way that it could have been
If it was obvious then, well it's just history
It's too late, it's too dark to see

Top Church, This Is It

He had a room in the best part of town
He got a chocolate on his eiderdown
Staring out over roofs at the Cross
Suppose he must have felt somewhat at loss
This is it, oh
This is it
This is it, oh baby
This is it
You couldn't say he was feeling very vibed
What had the quack in London prescribed
You couldn't really say he seemed to care
Sometimes he acted like he wasn't anywhere
This is it, oh baby
This is it
This it it, oh
This is it
Watch the things we've build up start to crash
Even though you've got a fistful of cash
Watching the future it bursts on through
I was one of those who used to envy you
I knew a wise man didn't know a thing
I knew a happy man who made me feel sad
You never know what the other guy is thinking
Too bad
Sometimes you come upon a fork in the road
What was waiting there he never could have known
Split-second difference, one tiny percent
Yeah, he came and he went
This is it, oh baby
This is it
This is it, oh

Top Church, June

June arrives, rumored days
Days of willing it to be
In the nest futures hatch
It's such a lovely thing to see
Oh my God
Like an angel wound
What fortune
Like a child in a field
So it goes, so it yields
June is here
There is love
In the background constantly
From the west
Lights go out
It's such a lonely thing to see
Oh my Lord
Talk of devil's food
What fortune
Lock the fruit
In a seed
So it grows
So it needs
Oh my soul
Soul like her cocoon
Long gone June
Her dark sides
Her bare fields

Top Church, Invisible

Sitting in the shadows and the evening oscillating
Feeling light and feeling like it's a-gonna change
Hoping for a moment for some gentle consolation
Waiting at the station where the treats are out of range
She's sitting in a carriage being jostled by the motion
Overhearing conversation, the grinding of the steel
Scenes fly past the curtains that the darkness paints uncertain
And memories are meaningless, her motives are concealed
Through countrysides and mountains and the village by the ocean
Where the stranger's waiting for her in the plushness of his car
Winding and rewinding, pushing all directions
Till the limit of implosions which is never very far
All I ever wanted to see was just invisible to me
Out there in the distance the horizon meets resistance
The summer falls down drunken on the longest of the days
Rushing past the ruins of the churches and the Porches
Reflected in the mirrors and the echoes in the haze
He drums impatient fingers on the chrome and on the leather
Running through the reasons in the corners of his mind
Sifting tiny diamonds on his shaky mental islands
Where he often claims asylum from the structures left behind
The wind blows through the headstones and the milestone's making music
The melody reminds us the girl's still far away
Asleep in her compartment, dreaming of the darkness
As the train speeds on the darkness to the approaching day
All I ever wanted to see was just invisible to me
All I ever wanted to see was just invisible to me
All I ever wanted to see was just invisible to me
All I ever wanted to see was just invisible to me

Top Church, Hunter

A silver lamp-lit sign
Flashes in the rain
Inside the taxi
That takes me to my plane
And the party's over
With a head that throbs
It's none of my business you see
I'm just doing my job
I'm gonna track you down
I'm gonna catch your scent
I'm go
nna spring your trap
I'm gonna track you down
You were last seen leaving Tony's Bar
With a dark suspicious man
And some intoxicated woman
'Cause your wife doesn't understand
A carnation in your buttonhole
Greed inside your veins
Smooth threats and
promises
Hotel rooms and chains
Closing in that snow and musk
Leave you high and dry
First you're gonna see her

Top Church, Grind

The whine in your hand is worth two at the bar
And everybody knows what you've been drinking
Disgraceful sky flecked with a nightmare of stars
And everybody knows how you've been synching
Long distance century buzzes and fades
I wonder why you've not resigned
Previews processions and parades
You've got to grind, grind it out
Line up the arrows, push off the top
This can cause sustain forever
And once it's started up, it cannot be stopped
At least it's holding us together
Long distance century buzzes and fades
An automatic charge on your mind
The glittering minutes, jangled decades
We've got to grind, grind it out
A vortex appears, unleashed by the crash
A moment marred by hesitation
Bedazzled surgeon chases the gash
But we don't need that operation
Long distance century buzzes and fades
Elysian Fields not far behind
Find me a witness amongst these shades
They've got to grind, grind it out
Long distance century buzzes and fades
I hope the deaf can lead the blind
Lift me up into those whirling blades

Top Church, Maya

Where, how did you notice?
Why, what can't you see?
Yeah, if that's all the difference it makes
Yeah, it makes it all different for me
Now you're lost in this moment
Now outside of time
Now, now you remember it all
Haa, now that reminds me
Well, what can you do now?
Where everything's done now?
Ehh, we really need something out there

Top Church, Macabre Tavern

First night of summer the air comes rushing in across the
Bringing strange birds from beyond
Deep in some, she's gone to another place
Far far from here, sand filled waves crash down
And churn on a moonlit beach, and white
I will drink with you to forget, if you have a brain I will
Eat with you, and in doing so
Since the beginning of time
With purchases intended
The future ingests us as the past spits us out
Lead to ridiculous one night schemes
Never do anything twice
Many dark nights and scramble for attention
Many a dream of open possibilities with conscious discontentment
That's what they want, that's what they want to hear
A miserable relic of ecstasy
A ruinous affair or an unexplained death
A kick in the head from a velvet boot of tristesse
And a cruel pinch of weary irony, misery monger

Top Church, Lady Boy

An open door
An extended hand
What can I say
I understand
She talks like a bird
Yet she walks like a man
She'll be here tonight
I understand
She hunts in a pack
Yet she ends up alone
She tells you it's not alright darling
Why'd you worship that stone?
Hold me closer lady boy
There's a rope that's dragging you out of this world
It doesn't care if you're heavy girl
Hold me closer lady boy
If you look, you can see that it's just you and me
There's nothing left of our world
So you think it's a sin
I bet it's a miracle
You think that you're safe
I tell you, you're critical
The merciless Gods
Who sometimes pour down their scorn
They cannot die
And also cannot be born
Hold me closer lady boy
There's a rope that's dragging you out of this world
It doesn't care if you're heavy girl
Hold me closer lady boy
If you look, you can see that it's just you and me
There's nothing left of our world
An open door
An extended hand
What can I say
I understand
I understand
I understand
I understand
Hold me closer lady boy
There's a rope that's dragging you out of this world
It doesn't care if you're heavy girl
Hold me closer lady boy
If you look, you can see that it's just you and me

Top Church, KINGS

See history fade, it's crystal clear
Aurora what you doing here
Buttering the mouths of theives
Shutter speed your bleeding leaves
In gardens in the orient
Liklihood is good and spent
Herod nods beneath the palms
Holds poor baby in his arms
Tunis and Sardinia
The oceans growing hungrier
Beneath these walls we'll sleep tonight
Beneath this sky we'll glide so bright
And kings will come, years will pass
Stars burn cold beneath the glass
And days will glow in distant time
In this storied haze the zephyrs graze
In deserts where the dust storm blows
And lush black swamps where mandrake grows
We're marching laughing to the drum
Waiting for those kings to come
And kings will come and years will pass
Stars burn cold beneath the glass
And days will blow in distant time
In this storied haze the zephyrs graze
An infant with the voice of a crone
In Nebuchanezzars parking zone
Calls out my lord your end is nigh
I didn't mean to make you cry
In deserts where the dust storm blows
And lush black swamps where mandrake grows
We're marching laughing to the drum
Waiting for those kings to come
The circus sun in Nero eyes
The lions and the christians rise
Software sings and hardware hears

Top Church, Further Adventures Of The Time Being

They built the pyramids, toiled with tons of stone
Irrigated deserts, made giant golden thrones
Built palaces in India and a dome on the moon
Illustrated ceilings, praised God with strange choirs
Fed the five thousand, built cities of spires
Felt the pull of science unravel in their minds
Charted celestial bodies and were punished for their finds
Conquered snow-peaked mountains, drove jungles to retreat
Were drowned in vicious rapids and were heralded for their feats
Fantasized in Babylon, built a home in space
Scaled the walls of China against all human odds
Won battles without hope and saw men turned into Gods
Still they hide their faces well unbetrayed by Heaven or hell
Only traces to be found although their history resounds
Disconnected they displayed all the discoveries they made
And now they wander 'round the earth beyond the realms of death or birth
If you look, you'll see them there like clouds hangin' in the air
And they said the earth was flat, sailed off the world into a vat
Turned the planets into toys then played marbles like small boys
Invented love, invented hate, hung them off the arms of fate

Top Church, Feel

For all time
Looking for something to remind me
Something out the corner of my eye
Why can't I feel it?
Why should I try?
Bump into a stranger
But that stranger is strangely familiar
How could I let it slip by
Why can't I feel it?
Can you tell me why?
When I nearly had the connection sussed
It slips right off my tongue
And timing's off, things get jumbled up
In a fever when you are young
But I know who's in there behind those eyes
So say goodbye
There can never be an ending
We are endless like the sky
Why can't I feel it?
Is it just a lie?
Why can't I feel it?
For all time?

Top Church, Don't Move

Holiday for two
beautiful furniture
powdered gun drifting up inside
Cretaceous man become just what I am
Now don't move, don't move
Ooooh don't move
Composed of solid song, we get along
Distance crunching honchos with echo units
Sue me if you want, there's nothing left
Now don't move, don't move
Oooh don't move.
Now mix it up with water like a sacrifice to slaughter
Take off your helment lay down your cable
Pick it up (?) earthshaker, Poseidon heart-breaker
Don't move don't move
Ooooh don't move
No neo-Henrik Ibsen with a prehistoric Gibson
Could begin to do what I have almost done
Now look into the sunset before the final credit
Don't move don't move
The miracles (Americans ?) come falling, the miracles come crawling
I'm scared of something nasty (Do you know what kind of snake ?)
Forget the memories dear, that I was ever here
Don't move don't move

Top Church, Maybe These Boys...

Framed up baby, know her place
Slippery salmon all over her face
Browsing down through the mirrored hall
See Arizona standing ten feet tall
Her father's smart, plays his part
Twirls his star and watch them start
Oh no no don't wander off the set
We haven't reached the borders yet
Then into town he rides in grim
All the mercenaries are following him
Ripped and raw, lays his glove on the door
Walks in and tells the man on the floor
Maybe these boys want to do some talking
Your room's a mess, it's ugliness
But I go on living in it till you say yes
The curtains are new, but the windows are old
All the stories passing through already been told
We live in a style where trust is a drag
To hold up your end means the middle will sag
Some blackhearted actors interfered in your scene
And you can't stand success or the place where it's been
The fader's been placed, judgment passed down
Staying up all night till pure sleep drags you down
Ripped and raw, her voice at the door
Walks in, expecting him, finds something more
Says maybe these boys want to do some talking

Top Church, Seance

Alone, at the end of the day
As I stand before the relics
Of what used to be you and me
You turn with the tears in your eyes
Not understanding that you are free
Free of me
Like songs, our warmth fades away
Turns into coldness
Like the words that we say, today
And as the city glows, electric people nobody knows
Electric dreams, nobody knows
When you touch my skin, the feeling is electric
I hoped that our destiny sloped
Ever upwards, now it curves away
And falls, like rain
And the windows of children
I see the future, just sliding away, and false

Top Church, Colombus

The king had something changed within him
I should have told him no
Oh Colombus, I never should have let you go
Now aching wires, midnight fires
Things I could not know
Oh Colombus, I never should have let you go
You don't suppose there'd
Be room in here somewhere for me
I think I just need
Someones words to reassure me
I don't blame any of you, and I don't blame myself
Waiting for my small reward
It's going to come somehow
Oh Colombus, I wish that you could see us now
We don't posess a single empty tear
Or furrowed brow
Oh Colombus, I wish that you could see us now
You don't suppose there'd
Be room in here somewhere for me
I think I just need
Someone's words to reassure me
I can't change any of you, I can't change myself
The man had something strange about him
He should have let me know
Oh Colombus, I wish I'd never let you go
You don't suppose there'd
Be room in here somewhere for me
I think I just need
Someones words to reassure me
I don't blame any of you, and I don't blame myself

Top Church, A Box of Birds

It's all too much
It's all too much
It's all too much
When I look into your eyes
Your love is there for me
The deeper that I go inside
The more there is to see
It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around you
And everywhere it's what you make
For me to take it's all too much
Floating down the sea of time
From life to life with me
Makes no difference where you are
Or where you'd like to be
It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around you
And all the world is birthday cake
So take a piece but not too much
Set me on a silver sun
Where I know that I'm free
Show me that I'm everywhere
And get me home for tea
It's all to much for me to see
A love that's shining all around here
The more I learn, the less I know
And what I do is all too much
It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around here
And everything is what you make
For me to take it's all too much
[Incomprehensible]
We're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take you higher
Good God
With your long blond hair
And your eyes of brown
With your long blond hair
And your eyes of brown
Too much
Too much
Too much
...

Top Church, Fading Away

Don't come to pieces in my hand
White stars reflecting dust and sand
That perfume makes me think of grief
Shake the faith shake the belief
Who's there to say that we're living this moment
Feels like I'm in a play
The sets and the props of this, your apartment
Seem to be fading away, fading away
So I wander through these rooms
I feel the orbit of the moons
And I dream what I become

Top Church, Fraulein

One night I saw all this
The ship that drifted in
And from that afternoon you changed
Some fallen leaves were in the drive
A stranger's voice above the wind
The difference was the color of Lorraine
She said that mourning almost tasted blue
Oh Fraulein, that was you
Your phone would ring and ring and ring
The shadows on the beat
The car abandoned long before, when I was free
A message crumpled said something
Yet the language was unknown
Are old mistakes forgotten just like me
She said she's leaving with the crowds
She wants to throw this all away
She said I'm thinking this out loud
That's what I thought you'd say
One night I saw all this
The man who paid the bill
A glance along the noise
Hey baby that's our song
The seagulls all flew away
And when I turned to ask you where
And when I turned to ask you why

Top Church, Glow Worm

You're so easy to love
You're so easy to adore
You're easy to want
I always want more.....
The way you talk
It puts me in a dream
Makes me feel like the cat who had the cream
You're so easy to love
You're easy to be with
I'm telling everybody that you must be a gift from higher planes
As a broken soul below I always wanna be living in your glow
You're so easy to love
You're so easy just to like
Don't change a thing
Cos everything's just right....
You fly like a swan
You sing like a bird
I wanna tell you everything
But I can't find the words
You're so easy to love
You're so lovely just to touch
So beautiful to see
I wanna see so much....
Alone in your head
I wonder where you roam
It doesn't really matter if you always come home
You're so easy to love
So nice just to kiss
You're standing in the light
I'm bathing in the bliss
Beautiful as hell
Wonderful as well
Don't you know I'm buying whatever you can sell
You're so easy to love
So easy to be round
Asleep so sweet but with your tiny sleeping sound/hand
I hold you in my arms
I see you in my mind
I need you every day
I need you every night
You're so easy to love
You're so easy to admire
You've got me by the heart
If anyone inquires
You're soft and you're strong
You're cool and your warm
Delicate, intricate, triumph over form
You're so easy to love
You're so crucial to my life
I want you to know
That everything's alright....
The way that you love
It's pure and it's strong
If you stay around

Top Church, Hotel Womb

Volcano pierce the air, ashes block out the sun.
Down in the lair, well I met her there
With a price for everyone.
I paid eighty dollars for this wedding ring,
I couldn't take it off if I tried.
And the cactus sure tastes strangely sweet
As it goes down inside
I dream I'm safe in my hotel womb.
Soft and soul made, it's a wonderful room.
I wish I'm back in my hotel womb.
Slip through the crack, to that wonderful room.
Sudden voltage in the night, with a rainforest girl.
As we float downstream to the Amazon River
Where the black waters swirl.
I say, why are you people wearing those masks?
I say, can we be reconciled?
She says the mother of the storm has to roam the sky
Searching for her child. (Chorus)
Morning comes at last, and she's lying by my side.
She's got the face of the widow who keeps following me
And the body of my bride.
I say, why are those buildings swaying like trees?
I say, can we stop for a while?
She says, can't you hear the city that's hidden in there?

Top Church, Desert

I, I am the stranger this time around
You, you are the changeless sounds of sand
I could be here forever riding this death
You, you are the distance, my clown
I fall down in the sun
I become everyone who ever walked this way
Where the desolate places meet the oases
Empty spaces of today
I, I am the journey into the haze
You, you are the hill of yesterdays
I, I am the pulse of the heat

Top Church, Destination

Our instruments have no way of measuring this feeling
Can never cut below the floor, or penetrate the ceiling.
In the space between our houses, some bones have been discovered,
But our procession lurches on, as if we had recovered.
Draconian winter unforetold.
One solar day, suddenly you're old.
Your little envelope just makes me feel cold,
Makes destination start to unfold.
Our documents are useless, or forged beyond believing.
Page forty-seven is unsigned, I need it by this evening.
In the space between our cities, a storm is slowly forming.
Something eating up our days, I feel it every morning.
Destination, destination.
It's not a religion, it's just a technique.
It's just a way of making you speak.
Distance and speed have left us too weak,
And destination looks kind of bleak.
Our elements are burned out, our beasts have been mistreated.
I tell you it's the only way we'll get this road completed.
In the space between our bodies, the air has grown small fingers.
Just one caress, you're powerless, like all those clapped-out
swingers.

Top Church, Warm Oily Voices

Baby sleep Dark in a winter of Coral
And sheets of powdering snow
In a cafe somewhere wont you visit us there
But you drink up your wine and you go
The people next door are making these noises
That Seeping into this dream
The cars in the street with there warm oily voices
Starting to whisper the theme
The smoke in this place must have gone to your head
And we're falling and flailing down (YEAH)
And the metre keeps ticking outside on the road
And the outskirts ******* of town
The people next door are making these noises
Seeping into this dream
The cars in the street with there warm oily voices
Starting to whisper the theme
Morning brings aching, amnesia shadows , like a tray of
colours and rice
In an old river bed of yellows and reds
And your hands and feet are like ice
The people next door are making these noises
Seeping into this dream
The cars in the street with there warm oily voices
Starting to whisper the theme
The people next door are making these noises
Seeping into this dream
The people next door are making these noises
Seeping into this dream

Top Church, Sisters

Anna sits beside her research
Silence in the dappled moonlight
Sleeping cat and dying fire
Embers of the past conspire
All her books are closed and scattered
And she feels that nothing matters to her
Outside this dream her sister frequents
Like a cobweb catching fragments
She approaches like a vision
She says "Anna, do you hear me?"
But the picture's always shuttered
All the distant thoughts that flutter to her
I can see them all, I can hear them call
And as she falls I lean to say good-bye
Breathing all the wasted hours
Talking to the dying flowers
Dwarfed by spires and tangled towers
We don't ask the reason why
Anna comes and goes in shadows
Paintings of the open windows
Her photograph is always faded
Her sister's eyes are blank and shaded
Don't you understand her science
Merging in a strange alliance to her
We're together in the future
You and I and her together
All our fated are intermingled
We are plural, we are single
We are leaving for a meeting
And last seen the weather sleeting for her

Top Church, Fly Home

Listen... collect your thoughts, don't hide
If you... can face yourself, collide
Blue sheet of sky dazzles your eyes
And leaves you... slumped against the night
They captured you and chopped off your hand
Left for dead
Buried your body in soft, soft sand
Fly home
Listen... patience will repay
All the empty arms to take you in
Pale luminescent glow
Surrounds you... till you can't see it's there
I'm callin' fire from low within
Tall and dead
You can't give up cause you're so far in
Fly home
Ancient... veiled image cast
Reminds you... the future's like the past
Time split into a close field
Haunted you... usin' up your fear
Somethin' hateful in your head
Kick it out
You stole it hard but your wings are dead

Top Church, Lost My Touch

(Streets are burnt-out shells and insurance jobs)
(Temporary spell and hell in a drop)
(Drops of hell like some divine comedy)
(It won't sell and that's the tragedy)
(I know my way home, I can get there alone)
(The day I need you they can feed me to the lions)
(You can stop trying to get it started)
(Its heart is gone, it's shot for the last time)
(It's past time, it's meantime)
(It's all over in between time)
(It's like Halloween time)
They don't owe me anything
Now I'm on the line, now I've lost my touch
They don't touch anything
Every passing hour all becomes too much
I don't owe you anything
(There's a weaker echo in the other speaker)
(A weaker echo of my own voice)
(Reduced mechanically and electronically)
(Symphony of frequency delivering a slithering sound)
(A pound of flesh caught in the mesh)
(A pressure, a special deluxe digest it)
(You guessed it, I missed it)
I don't owe you anything
Now I've lost my power, now I'm out of touch
They don't touch anything
Every passing hour all becomes too much
I don't owe you anything
Now I've lost my power, now I'm out of...
(Should you, would you, could you, good)
(Could you look good back on the street)
(Your feet get cold, isn't it too old)
(I've been told you should have sold your soul)
(It's not worth anything out here)
(Not worth the earth you're standing on)
(Earth, Mother Earth)
(Earth, sweet Mother Earth, what are you worth?)
They don't owe me anything
Now I'm on the line, now I've lost my touch
They don't touch anything
Every passing hour all becomes too much
I don't owe you anything
Now I've lost my power, now I'm out of touch
I don't owe you anything...
(What'd he say, his name's Ray)
(He wasn't dominating, woman-hating)
(Sensitive guy, one two three)
(That's how he is, he is and ought to be)
(Everything is cool till you buck your need)
(To sheet if you want to eat, and breathe the air)
(While you knock somebody off their feet)
(Not there, if you wanna beware)
(It's not really fair, it a way of sayin' tough stuff)
(It's tough to get enough and you laugh and laugh)
(You can't get the staff, hold on to the laugh)
(It's my craft, it's finished, it's kaput, it's over)
(Finito, Benito, dead, Fred)
(Gone, Frisson, like old Hong Kong)

Whether Prada, Gucci, Versace
My coochie draped in Le Perla, watches like Liberace
From my head to my stockings

Ain't no stoppin' me, naw 'cuz I'm on fire like a cigarette
Get higher when the beat quick we stick
Shittin' on niggas to heeze on 'em just to eat quick

Somebody sure love me

Top Church, My Little Problem

You must have heard about my little problem
Ah, come on, you must have heard about it
It's no ordinary problem
Look in my eyes, there can be no doubt about it
And of course, it gets worse at night
It gets late, things start to change
The clock is stopped, thermometer is bulging
Hot, late night bound to make us estranged
Softer me all over your shoulders
Cold shadow in the glare of the glow
Factory billboards on outskirts of cities
Shine down new attractions to the traffic below
Remember this day, remember this road
Remember this secret secret, I remember you
A certain flash, a certain light
Abandoning the afternoon as it sinks into the night
Flourescent bedroom flicker starts to tech me to wonder
I hear a mandolin and hear the springs
Out the wardrobe floats the hint of a rumour
Dressed in your blue velvet finest things
Can you hear the voices that I constantly talk of
Am I the only one to succumb to their rule
Well, I know the form that it's taking
It's not making sense anymore
They way you say you just wanna help me
The way your clinging is slinging me under
The strength I need already denied me
Your big ideas and your ideas and your little wonder
Remember this day, remember this road
Remember this secret secret, I remember you
A certain flash, a certain light
Abandoning the afternoon as it sinks into the night
Some people don't come over because of my problem
I heard the top guy won't answer his phone
I wonder if he has the same kind of problem
Little difficulty of his own
So take this plastic and lend me some wheels
Or maybe I'll try to fly
No reservations, I'll see how it feels
When I'm over your house, up in the sky
And when the sun is squeezing through the blinds
You will be far away
Deep afternnons see the moon in the shadows
Deep in your dream, I hear you say
Have you heard about my little problem
I just know that it isn't a secret
It's just a very ordinary problem

Top Church, The Dead Man's Dream

Once I had a name, forgotten now
I breathe the air in a century of wonder
I can hear it now, in darkness, ivory birds
Gorgeous machines, the sound they made like thunder
The gardens drink, honey jewels and rapids
The pageants passed down avenues of splendour
On long afternoons, by enchanted ways
'pon elephants, so well I do remember
Lords and priests and talking beasts
Golden carts and telepaths
Crystal skulls and screaming gulls
Women glow tattooed with woe
Coloured mists of amethyst
Memories strong and days were long
Dragons glide on mountainside
Mandrake root, angel fruit
Sighing winds on silver skins
Asian transubstantion
Unicorns, electric storms
Junes and moons and afternoons

Top Church, Loveblind

Have I told you 'bout the case
Of the man who had no face? (Sure I have)
His wife suspected something
That's why she brought me in
We arranged to meet one night
At a bar called Aphrodite's (On Second Street)
When I looked into her eyes
I quickly realised (Danger)
The price was right, the deal was struck
I don't think that she gave it a thought
It was clear to see that the lady was Loveblind
It was clear to see, it was clear that she was Loveblind
Out into the foggy night
Into the city's blurry light (I drove alone)
I wondered then what kind of place
Would make a man lose face
I pieced together clue by clue
Just what a faceless man would do (It wasn't hard)
Who would he love, where would he go?
Places faceless men would know (On Second Street)
I was close, I was near
But that woman just wouldn't hear
It was clear to see that the lady was Loveblind
It was clear to see, it was clear that she was Loveblind
Loveblind...
Next morning came, as mornings do
I had a shave that was close, too (A close shave)
In the mirror, in my space
There was a man without a face
I rang my client and I banged on her door
I told her it was me that we was lookin' for
It was clear to see that the lady was Loveblind

Top Church, Lullaby

We come to pay homage to the Golden one
We share and bear the message of your newborn son
We follow paths, falling stars
In and out of mangers other barns
Opportunity knocked you up I guess
Gave you your little baby success
You've got potential, you have the gift
You have the chance to heal a million rifts
We've been sent to sing a lullaby for you
We've been sent to sing a lullaby
We've brought oils, gold and wine and bread
Dreaming pillows for his divine head
Astrologers all, we plot the charts
And wise men, we can look into people's hearts
A doom is on this child, that I can see
He don't belong in this time of you and me
His life will not be very long
Before you know it, he will be gone
We've been sent to sing a lullaby for you

Top Church, A Different Man

Inside himself,
He runs to look in the mirror
And the face that stares right back
Has never been any clearer
But look at the doubt in his eyes
He's not the one to blame
It was a different man, no he's never been here
You can be so close, you can be so near
It was a different man, playing different cards
You can be so soft, you can be so hard
Inside himself,
He follows the wrong directions
Perfect English words all right
But with the wrong inflections
But look at the dust at his feet
He's not the one she loves
It was a different man, no he's never been found
You can be so up, you can be so down
It was a different man, no he's never been there
You can be halfway, you can be all there
Inside himself,
He thinks that he looks the same
And the mind that thinks it all out
Never noticed any change
But look at the doubt in his eyes

Top Church, A New Season

Shaded crystal water, bathed in by God's daughter.
Sighing whispers near, a new season passes here.
Sensory gifts to all who come
Soak up the stars and setting sun.
It's strange and wilder, ageless bechilder
Saved by fire, touched and finer.
Gray stands the tower in the distance.
Days pass like warm sun on the face.
A new season.
Shared is the cure to conquer lonliness.
It's strange and wilder, ageless bechilder
Saved by fire, touched and finer.
Peaceful, blissful union is the priestess.

Top Church, The Maven

Here comes the maven, he's coming around
He's such a connoiseur, he's such an autograph hound, yeah
He's got sixteen yes-men and they tend to agree
There's a lover but without any eyes
He's got my number but he's got the size, yeah
And if you measure up a short trip could be wise
Just turn the light off when you go (leave it dark)
Just turn the jury on you go (make them bark)
We'll send a sign to you over the sea
There goes the maven, sowing his seed
One for the rock, one for the hand that feeds, yeah
He reaps the harvest with a sleight of hand
Just say the magic word, he's at your side
Beware his magic touch, his plans are cheery and wide, yeah
He sleeps through the winter in a white-white land
Just turn the light off when you go (leave it dark)
Just turn the jury on you go (make them bark)
We'll send a sign to you over the sea
Here is the maven, draining the cup
He takes your arm then he beats you up, yeah
There is a surfeit of everything you crave
Here is the maven, signing the check
He orders dinner, so what the fucking heck, yeah
There is a surplus of everything you save
Just turn the light off when you go (leave it dark)
Just turn the jury on you go (make them bark)

Top Church, Two Places At Once

Life in hive city
Somewhere in the east
Flowing down a crowded street
As though I am or I will be released
Can't stop yawning, clear blue morning
In mourning no more
Come and see the wild things
Just beyond the door
But there's an old man here who claims that he knew you
In another life
I'm not sure what he said
And could it be that he still thinks you're his wife
I've been waiting seems like eternity
I've been waiting, waiting for you
I'm still waiting, if you remember me
I'll be waiting, waiting for you
Drink and sing on a desert wind behind here
The ghosts have laid there fine little clay to rest
But who they they left and what they thought they stayed for
Is crumbled in their life's dusty caress
They were so blind
They were so blind
Hiding in a hotel room
Somewhere in the west
I heard they brought a priest in to sanctify the place
But it remained unblessed
Things move around
My guitar sometimes plays itself
They say it's static electricity but
Yesterday it took twenty dollars off the shelf
There's a young man here, says, May or June, another town
The children cry and ask where their mother is
Gonna have to let them down
I've been hurt... I've been around
I've been waiting seems like eternity
I've been waiting, waiting for you
I'm still waiting, if you remember me
I'll be waiting, waiting for you
Lifted shelves are fading in the valley
Where once the sea had strength enough to reach
And out of twisted metal I've discarded for Gaea's curse
Noone here can quite translate the verses they wanted to preach
They were blind
They were so blind
They were so blind
They were so blind
I've been waiting seems like eternity
I've been waiting, waiting for you (so blind)
I'm still waiting, if you remember me

Top Church, Never Come Back

Well I came to this land where the snow and the sand
Cover my footprints with ice
The cool grey sea calls me "come and be free"
And I almost take that advice
And in the night I cling to the names
Of the women I wanted and the men that I blamed
And their scorn that scorches my tracks
One thing I know you can never come back
Oh darling please meet me in the dark empty streets
Won't you bring me the things that I need
No-one is waiting where she used to stand
Just the jagged thorns of the weed
And in the day they drink their hot wine
And I long for the things that can never be mine
So your pretty clothes do not unpack
As plain as the day you can never come back
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Top Church, We Both Know Why You're Here

There is no reason to struggle
Nothing on earth you should fear
You say you received it but I just don't believe it
We both know why you're here
You never make an appointment
You never make anything clear
You say you're for real like that's a hell of a deal
But we both know why you're here
You need it and you read it and you feed it and you don't believe
It's just a joke
You follow it you swallow it and then you like to wallow in it
Like civilized folk
Who like thier rewards nice and easy
But you thought you were the four musketeers
You say you've got the stuff but there's never enough
And we both know why you're here
You say some rich man really loves you
Did you really think he's sincere
He wants all you got, that isn't a lot
And we both know why you're here
You walk it and you talk it but you never balked in it
Like nothing's wrong
You rush it and you crush it I'd hate to ever see you suss it

Top Church, Cortez The Killer

He came dancin' across the water
With galleons and his guns
Lookin' for the new world
A palace in the sun
On the shore lay Montezuma
With his cocoa leaves and his pearls
In his halls he often wondered
With the secrets of the worlds
And his subjects gathered 'round him
Like the leaves around a tree
In their coats of many colors
For the angry gods to see
And the women all were beautiful
The men were tall and strong
He offered life in sacrifice
So that others could go on
War was just a legend
Hate was quite unknown
And the people worked together
And they lifted many stones
And they carried them to the flatlands
And they died along the way
And raised up with their bare hands
What we still can't do today
And I know she's living there
She loves me to this day
I still don't know where
Or how I lost my way
He came dancin' across the water
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer

Top Church, Decadence

Watch her out there on display
Dancing in her sleepy way
And all her visions start to play
The icicles of our decay
Marlene, drink it to Marlene
Fading flowers in her hair
She's suffering from wear and tear
She lies in waterfalls of dreams
And doesn't question what it means
Marlene, we drink it to Marlene
And all along the desert shore
She wanders further evermore
The only thing that's left to try
She says to live I have to die
Marlene, we drink it to Marlene
Marlene, we drink it to Marlene
She whispers sadly, "Well, I might"
And holds herself so very tight
Then jumping from an unknown height
She merges with the liquid night
Marlene, Marlene
We drink it to Marlene
Her lovers wrap her mist in furs
And tell her what she has is hers
When they take her by the hand
She slips back in the desert sand
Our Marlene, we drink it to Marlene, Marlene
What she needs is made of glass
And lovers worship as they pass
And each one says, "Well, now she's mine"
But all drink solitary wine
Marlene, Marlene
Fare thee well, fare thee well
Marlene, Marlene
Fare thee well, fare thee well, fare thee well
Marlene, Marlene

Top Church, Disappointment

Far below the surface, where the women sway
Green shadows greet another day
Drowned for the moment, on an empty ocean bed
And I cannot lift my head
Late for an appointment, clothes everywhere
I cannot find my memory anywhere
Ah disappointment just doesn't care
Off in the distance just waiting there
Take back her keys, what shall we do today
Maybe a little lunch down at the ghost cafe
Sand in my sandals, my blood feels like red wine

Top Church, Drought

You'll never see a dark cloud hanging round me
Now there is only blue skies to surround me
There's never been a gray day since you found me
Everything I touch is turning to gold
Oh, you can colour my world with sunshine yellow each day
Oh, you can colour my world with happiness all the way
Just take the green from the grass and the blue from the sky up above
And if you colour my world just paint it with your love, just colour my world
Just as long as I know you're thinking of me
There'll be a rainbow always up above me
Since I found the one who really loves me
Everything I touch is turning to gold
So you can colour my world with sunshine yellow each day
Oh, you can colour my world with happiness all the way
Just take the green from the grass and the blue from the sky up above
And if you colour my world just paint it with your love, just colour my world
Sunshine yellow
Orange blossoms
Laughing faces
Everywhere, yeah
So you can colour my world with sunshine yellow each day
Oh, you can colour my world with happiness all the way
Just take the green from the grass and the blue from the sky up above
And if you colour my world just paint it with your love, just colour my world
Colour my world

Top Church, Angelica

Stretching out to catch, stretching out to catch
Stretching out to catch to send a message
(Angelica I'll warm you up...)
Crashing down, crashing down
Crashing down in a shower of sparks
Crashing down, crashing down
Crashing down in a shower of sparks
The civilised gentleman, the civilised gentleman
The civilised gentleman is gonna be nice
The civilised gentleman, the civilised gentleman
The civilised gentleman isn't gonna be nice
To you tonight, to you tonight
To you tonight unless you pay me
Pay me good, pay me well
Pay me with a trip to hell
She reaches for him in a jealous moment
She reaches for him in a jealous moment
She reaches for him in a jealous moment
I've got a verbal caress
I've got it, I've got it in the mouth
It's here for you, we'll share it
My tongue is wet, my tongue is wet
This verbal caress is gonna get wet
(Angelica I'll warm you up...)
Little Johnny Jamison jumped on a jaywire
I saw them walking by the factory
Beer glass falling on the bowling alley
Jook out Johnny your father's inside
And Johnny's gonna lie, and he's hiding on the elevator
Temper risks and he's gonna make a thing of it

Top Church, Chromium

Silver needles
Golden eagles
Frightened faces
Basket cases
Jags and riches
Queens and witches
Electric mantras
And tight-fitting dreams
Never been so high
Never been so low
Never been so high
Gilded flowers, long-lost hours
Morning programs with fake suntans
Neo-maniac in the cul-de-sac
Otherwise it's this ennui
Chromium platin'
All this waiting brings me down
Suffocatin'
All those colors bring me around
Broken records
Faded labels
Songs to sing to
When you were young
A tattooed pierced arm
Fresh and perfumed
Switch your prison
Fly away
And jewels on your fingers
Tears in your dresses
Fabulous mansions
And damp little rooms
This one intrigued me
This one will grow
Purity sleeping

Top Church, City

There, smoke turns into serpents in the air
Beware, there's no sanctuary anywhere
On this very spot, a great city once stood
It oozed with evil but it felt so good
Well I don't know
Where did it go?
And here, there's lots of method in their madness dear
And we're considering remaining here
In this very house a giant was born
With two angry eyes and one sharp black horn
Well I don't know
How could he grow?
The fountains gush wine
The chimneys spurt flowers
Where me and my friends pass the fleeting hours
Well yes and no
Where did they go?
Goodbye, there's no reason, there's no alibi
I'll try to write you a letter from the cyclone's eye
On this very day, a hundred years before
They opened up the future like it was a door
Well I don't know
Where did it go?
The towers stretch up, the spires spiral odd
Behind the vicar's gate, the sign, "Beware of God"
Well I don't know

Top Church, Comedown

You should decide what you want to believe in
How can I describe what I?m receiving
It?s like the marquee says, one night at the stage
You want to live forever but you don?t want to age
I just can?t help wondering
It?s such a waste of time
The life-buoy in the life-boat, he was a sailor
You could not describe him, oh the words would just fail you
And Justine?s laced up tight in her shoes
You?re gonna get it whatever you choose
I just can?t help wondering
It?s such a waste of time
That?s the blues man
That?s the big town
That?s the rebound
That?s the comedown
As high as a mountain as fast as a first
Lying beside a fountain dying of thirst
And the marquee says, "One night at the stage
Wait ?til I let this soul out of it?s cage"
And I just can?t help wondering
It?s such a waste of time
That?s the blues man
That?s the big town
That?s the rebound
That?s the comedown
That?s a weird trick
That?s a bad hit
That?s the rebound
That?s the comedown
That?s the blues man
That?s the big town
That?s the rebound

Top Church, After Everything

Now that it's over I found myself fleeting
The sound permeated all directions at once
I never said goodbye to the family, lovers
Brothers and daughters, the rest of the bunch
It seems so strange that the things I was chasing
Have all evaporated like a distant dream
Petty ambition, petty obstruction
Something in between
I really thought it would go on forever
Never believed they would sever the ties
All of the questions remaining unanswered
A stranger's reflection in a stranger's eyes
Here is a child playing in a garden
Here is an old man with a broken heart
Here comes a train to take you away
It all goes 'round and 'round and comes back to the start
I was never really sure what I was waiting for
When the moment came I was looking away
Obsessed with a past, scared of the future
Never took the time to be here today
And I really thought it would go on forever
Never believed they would sever the ties
All of the questions remaining unanswered
A stranger's reflection in a stranger's eyes
After everything now this happens
It's not a grand illusion, it's a stupid little trick
The show must go on, these people have paid
You're standing in the wings feeling kinda sick
Never really sure what you were waiting for
When the moment came you just couldn't choose
The fog weeps down over the marine city
Standing backstage trying to pull on your shoes
I really thought it would go on forever
Never believed they would sever the ties
All of the questions remaining unanswered

Top Church, All The Young Dudes

Well, Billy rapped all night about his suicide
How he kick it in the head when he reached twenty-five
Speed jive don't want to stay alive when you're twenty-five
And Wendy's stealing clothes from marks and sparks
And Freedy's got spots from ripping off the stars from his face
Funky little boat race
Now, the television man is crazy
Saying we're juvenile, deliquent wrecks
Oh man, I need TV when I got T-Rex
Oh brother you guessed
All the young dudes carry the news
Boogaloo dudes carry the news
All the young dudes carry the news
Boogaloo dudes carry the news
Now Lucy looks sweet 'cause she dresses like a queen
And she can kick like a mule, it's a real mean team
But we can love, oh yeah, we can love
And my brother's back at home with his Beatles and his Stones
We never got it off on that revolution stuff
What a drag, too many snags
Now I've drunk a lot of wine and I'm feeling fine
Gonna race some cat to bed
Is this concrete all around or is it in my head?
Oh brother you you guessed
All the young dudes carry the news
Boogaloo dudes carry the news
All the young dudes carry the news
Boogaloo dudes carry the news
All the young dudes
(Hey, dudes)

Top Church, Much Too Much

There's a fire in the eastern perimeter
There's an alligator in the stew
And everybody who's going to heaven
Would they kindly stand in this queue
Because there's far too many
And there's much too much
When the news sinks in holding on to our skin
I only want to give you a touch
At the break of day I was breaking
At the fall of night well I fell
Like a fool I wept as the starbeams crept
Illuminating this hell
And there's far too many
And there's much too much
When the news sinks in holding on to our skin
And I only want to give you a touch
Don't ask me if I'm ready
I'm standing with my ticket in hand
When the boss comes back and he looks at this crack
He sure aint gonna understand
And there's far too many
And there's much too much
When the news sinks in holding on to our skin
I only want to give you a touch

Top Church, Nightmare

I wanna consume, I wanna eat up a mountain
Drink up an ocean, dream up a world
I wanna consume, I wanna smoke up a forest
Shoot up a river, run up the bill
I want women and men
And when the whole damn thing is over
I want it all back again
Yeah maybe I'll be happy then
We'll ride the nightmare every night
Riskin' our dreams
And then we'll fall from such a height
We'll split our seams
I wanna devour
I wanna suck up your power
I wanna smell all the flowers
I wanna use up my useless hours
I wanna absorb, I wanna absorb your spirit
Feed off your soul, drain out your youth
I wanna absorb, I wanna become your lover
Erase your master, live out your life
I want your time, and your thoughts
I want the things your sugar daddy bought you
What the alchemists and magicians sought
I want starboard, I want port

Top Church, The Blurred Crusade

On a day like this, a hundred lifetimes ago
You on a shore, across the point
I looked through my hands and you drew me a line
When you were mine
On a world like this, a hundred turns left to go
Deep in a room, which I've never seen
Outside it's so cold but I'm waiting for time
When you were mine
Plenty of islands between now and then
Rocks break the boats of the painted face men
And they drown, and they're born
And they live once again
And this all happens
When you were mine
In a storm like this, a hundred kisses of snow
You with another so easily sleep
What's real and what's dreamt become close and entwine
When you were mine

Top Church, Starfish

A war's being waged and the world's just a stage (in this city)
The real estate's prime, the number plates rhyme (liquidity)
Wear a gun and be proud, but bare breasts aren't allowed (in this city)
Dream up a scam and then rake in the clams (liquidity)
(It's neither here nor there) It's neither here nor there
North and south and east and west
(It has to be somewhere) It oughta be somewhere
North and south and east and west
I take my payment, I catch my flight,
And don't wait up for me tonight
(And you might find me there) and you might find me there
North and south and east and west
Have a quick throw or host your own show (in this city)
To a wolf from a lamb for just half a gram (liquidity)
The face of today just a scalpel away
Restore your lost soul for two dollars plus toll (liquidity)
Backs are patted when calves are fatted (in this city)
The emperor's clothes are host for the proles (liquidity)
The guys with the brains are all bitter and vain (stupidity)
The guys with the luck got the bimbos and bucks (liquidity)
(Chorus)

Top Church, Freeze To Burn

People getting frightened 'cause the night is very thick
When I think about you sister, we need to panic here
You better take an arrow, you better take a sled
When it starts blowing just remember what I said
You gotta freeze until it burns
You gotta burn until you learn
You gotta learn until you seize
You gotta freeze until you burn
People think they're dreaming, they're really wide awake
I did it for the money and for goodness' sake
Meet me in the igloo with a factual gaze
Help me to decipher the shadow of this maze
You gotta freeze until it burns
You gotta burn until you learn
You gotta learn until you seize
And you freeze until you burn
Now look
Fire in the rude banks, eyes inside the grave
Everything is opposite, right now it's too late
When you hear the birdsong stop, when you see the glow
That's the only certainty that you'll ever know
You're gonna freeze until it burns
You're gonna burn until you learn
You're gonna learn until you freeze
Freeze until you burn
OK
You're gonna freeze until it burns
You're gonna burn until you learn
We're gonna love it when you freeze
Freeze until you burn
Alright

Top Church, Get Over It

Walking down the street, I'm walking down the street
People drift by and they dance a certain beat
I'm walking towards you with flower in my hand
One of these days you're gonna understand
The lives fall away (?) but the road goes on
I lose my way inside a song
Sing about the things that you've never had
It's funny how I'm happy when you're sad
Where can I get over it ?

Top Church, Sing-Songs/Remote Luxury/Persia

Badman's woman with that look in her eye
You stop to wonder as she passes by
Something inside you is never the same
Something outside you is always to blame
Follow her home where she lives with some friends
They have some good things to add to the blend
The games expanded, invaded the place
You're the only one who's forgotten his face
You're saying no no no I must be on my way
But it really has been a pleasant night
And you go so slow hope they'll ask you to stay
And indifference gives you a fright
Walking outside you come to a door
You go inside and you wonder what for
At least it's good to be out of the wind
You turn around and the clocks all begin
Just like the winter your memory thaws
Just like the ocean your memory pours
So many pieces to match or to find
So many doubts to have in one mind
It's hard to see how the tables have turned
It's hard to see how the people have learned
It's hard to watch the past drizzling past
It's hard to watch them picking the cast
And it stacks up badly that it never makes sense
You sense that sensation is who's paying the rent
And she beckons to you with her fingers and lies
She says: can't you slice the price of your paradise

Top Church, All See It Now

You shouldn't have to feel so frightened
And you just wanna feel enlightened baby, in front of you
Oh my what love can do
You shouldn't have to hide in darkness
Its not such a good likeness baby, less of you
Oh yeah what love can do
And we all see it now
You talk a lot without a purpose
You walk around just like circus baby, is it true ?
That's what love did to you
You've got a friend who's very famous
I know you'd never ever shame us baby, but look at you
That's what fame can do
And we all see it now
You took a lot of people with you
And now expect them to forgive you, you're not through
That's what it means to you
And then you lie down on the sofa
You know you shouldn't really bother baby, I'm here too
That's what it does to you
And we all see it now

Top Church, Uninvited, Like the Clouds

The streets are paved with money
Where nothing's ever sold
Rain falls while it's sunny
And sights worth more than gold
The fires alive are burning
To warm those in the fold
Like never before
Like never before
Like never before
With a portal left to be tried
And find you're not denied
Even filmed in grey at a matinee
It's like never before
Daybreak's a sign for many
Whose work is not in vain
Worth less without any
But measured not by gain
A game that all are winning
As they're guided down destiny lane
Like never before
Like never before
Like never before
With a portal left to be tried
And find you're not denied
Even filmed in grey at a matinee
It's like never before
A night pierced with stars
Like never before (never before)
And time wears the scars
Like never before (never before)
The song's sad melody
Like never before (never before)
And pain's just a memory
Like never before (never before)

Top Church, El Momento Descuidado

Well I'm walking through town as the evening comes down
And it's easy to hope that you're here
In my fine linen suit and my smouldering cheroot
Well disposed to a night of good cheer
The candles and lamps and the losers and champs
Horses all covered in foam
If you don't show then I just do not know
If I'll wait till the cows come home
I remember the day that you first came my way
Yes it stays in my mind like a song
I remember the night when you first caught my sight
And in spite of all that's gone wrong
The moon and the stars and the gentle guitars
You stepped to the microphone
You sang like a lark in the warm fragrant dark
I could listen till the cows come home
When it's raining and cold and love's losing its hold
And you feel like you just want to sleep
And the friends that you trusted, left you all busted
And the hills that you climb are all steep
Yeah your lovers and cronies have all turned out phonies
Sold you a bag full of bones
I'll keep waiting there still on that last final hill
And I will till the cows come home
Though I'm in this valley
I'll fear no evil if you will walk by my side
Though danger's around us, strangers all hound us
Your light will still be my guide
The villains and freaks with their vulgar antiques
And critiques that simper and moan
Oh they twist and they turn
But I'm just standing firm
And I will till the cows come home

Top Church, Numbers

Oh yeah, your one and only life
Ripped from the earth with these bare hands
You dare, question the ritual, despite continual
Threats of gonna get you all
1 law for the officers, 1 for the gentlemen
2 bad you, 3 know, what it's 4
5 for this awful dive, 6 for the genetics
7 for the lucky pricks, who went into heaven
Nightmare, we ride for miles and miles
Following the howling of our prey
Out there, reload our yellow rigs
Scrambling for shelter, dig a void, decay
1 for the flaming sun, 2 for the location
3 for the martyrs and the stars
4 for the wind and sand, 5 so you understand
6 for the slips 'twixt the cup and the lips
1 for the cockpit blues, 2 for the Panzer crews
3 for the vast and molten sky
4 for the failed talks, 5 for the knives and forks
6 for forbidden kicks, all the yobbos in the sticks
1 law for the officers, 1 for the gentlemen
2 bad you, 3 know, what it's 4

1 for the flaming sun, 2 for the location

Top Church, Monday Morning

Beyond the city, and evening dust
Dreams and thunder rattle the rust
You had an idea that you won't have again
She's forgotten your name and hopes you'll do the same
Start of the ash, and the end of the flames
Burning you turning you
There was a lifetime spent in the sun
Hundreds of chances, blew every one
Dice rolled, double six, double six, double six
Owner of trouble, flesh blood and bricks
You had an idea that you won't have again
She's forgotten your name and hopes you'll do the same
The start of the ash and the end of the flames
Turning you burning you
Oh monday morning, the cracks become quite clear
Oh monday morning, take me back, leave me hare
Beyond the city, and evening dust
Dreams and thunder rattle the rust
You had an idea that you won't have again
She's forgotten your name and hopes you'll do the same
Start of the ash, and the end of the flames

Top Church, I Am a Rock

A winters day, in a deep and dark December
I am alone, gazing from my window into the streets below
On a freshly fallen, silent shroud of snow
I am a rock, I am an island
Don't talk of love, well I've heard the word before
It is sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried
I am a rock, I am an island
I have my books and my poetry to content me
I am sheilded in my armor
Deep within my room, safe within my womb
I touch noone and noone touches me
I am a rock, I am an island
And a rock feels no pain

Top Lyle Lovett, Church

I went to church last Sunday
So I could sing and pray
But something quite unusual
Happened on that day
Now church it started right on time
Just like it does without a doubt
And everything was all just fine
Except when it came time to let us out
You know the preacher he kept preaching
He told us I have one more thing to say
Children before you think of leaving
You better think about the Judgment Day
Now everyone got nervous
Because everyone was hungry too
And everyone was wondering
What was the next thing he would do
And the preacher he kept preaching
He said now I'll remind you if I may
You all better pay attention
Or I might decide to preach all day
And now everyone was getting so hungry
That the old ones started feeling ill
And the weak ones started passing out
And the young ones they could not sit still
And the preacher's voice rose higher
So I snuck up on the balcony
And I crept into the choir
And I begged them brothers, sisters, help me please
I said when I give you a signal
I said when I raise up my hand
Won't you please join with me together
And praise the Lord I have a plan
And the preacher he kept preaching
Long is the struggle, hard the fight
And I prayed, Father please forgive me
And then I stood up and with all my might
I sang
To the Lord let praises be
It's time for dinner now let's go eat
We've got some beans and some good cornbread
And I listened to what the preacher said
Now it's to the Lord let praised be
It's time for dinner now let's go eat
Yes and I did give a signal
Yes and I raised up my hands
And then joined with me the choir
Yes every woman, child, and man
They sang
To the Lord let praised be
It's time for dinner now let's go eat
We've got some beans and some good cornbread
And I've listened to what the preacher said
Now it's to the Lord let praised be
It's time for dinner now let's go eat
And the preacher he stopped preaching
And a hush the church did fill
And then a great white dove from up above
Landed on the window sill
And the dove flew down beside him
And a fork appeared right in his hand
And with everybody watching
The preacher ate that bird right there and then
And now everyone got really nervous
And the preacher he did start to glow
And as we watched in disbelief
These were the words he spoke
He said now Mama's in the kitchen
And she's been there all day
And I know she's cooking something good
So let's bow our heads and pray
And he sang
To the Lord let praises be
It's time for dinner now let's go eat
We've got some beans and some good cornbread
Now listen to what the preacher said
He said to the Lord let praised be
It's time for dinner now let's go eat
And the moral of this story
Children it is plain but true
God knows if a preacher preaches long enough
Even he'll get hungry too
And he'll sing
To the Lord let praises be
It's time for dinner now let's go eat
We've got some beans and some good cornbread
Now listen to what the preacher said
He said to the Lord let praised be
It's time for dinner now let's go eat

Top Church, You're Still Beautiful

It was only seven years ago
Your mirror finally broke
Your little bunch of followers turned you into a fool
The butt of all their vicious jokes, screaming
You're still beautiful baby
Nobody can take that away
You're still beautiful baby
Even when you fall down that way
You turned up backstage at the palace
We thought you was wearing a mask
I felt so fucking embarrassed
When you looked at your reflection and asked, you asked
Are you still beautiful baby
Nobody can take that away
You're still beautiful baby
Baby don't believe what you see
Once upon a time I would have killed for you
I'm sorry that you got in this mess
But you're the walking picture of Dorian Gray

Top Fabolous, Church

Now in this world that we live in, there's all kinds of pimps
You got ya playas, ya ballas, ya macs, ya gorrilla
pimps that take what they want
Ya all-star pimps... Pimps that (?)
Pimps wit nothin but the Gators on ya feet (Preach to em brother)
Nice pimps, mean pimps
I feel like the angel of God
All I gotta do is drive the Range through and nod
It's like I was put here to put layers in the air
Put squares in my ear, put squares in the chair
Put pairs in the rear
I even put 20 inch footwear in my spare
Lord knows I gotta stay on them spinners
Dis verse is like grace that you say on your dinners
Girls come wit me knowin that they gonna be sinners
But, I'ma sense of relief
And I ain't never been a trick kinda like its against my belief
If she got it from me then I'm convinced she a theif
But they say God giveth and He taketh away
And I can do the same thing when I shake with the 'K
If a nigga make a mistake wit the pay, Goddamit
At the club I get right in
So if heaven got a ghetto I should fit right in
God loves me
Now just what kind of ho are you?
Are you a tough ho, or a soft ho? (That's right)
Are you a big ho, or a little ho? (Lil' teenie weenie)
A domestic ho, or an international ho?
A rich ho, or a broke ass ho?
Yea, me momma got my name from the Baptist who made
tha wrong moves wit the women and died for it
You make the wrong moves when you come and you try for it
New York City of God
I 'den saved some of New York's prettiest broads
I'm spittin the gospel
I hit my apostle's wit the coke that'll heal a sick
soon as it get in they nostrils
A Dros Trios, bring the organs on ya
A 40-Caliber'll turn ya to a organ donor
And a day or two, you'll be a morgue aroma
While I go city to city fillin the pieu's up
I ask God to forgive me while I'm fillin the Uz' up
Demons won't let me see a man fillin my shoes up
I ease 'em wit a sermon, but that ain't hard
When I'm in the Beamer before they released 'em to the Germans
You prolly got the man you love wit you
But wouldn't you rather have the Man above wit you?
Can I get an Amen
Now some of ya'll are pimps, And some of ya'll are hoes
But the rest.. the rest of ya'll.. don't think I don't know
Ya just a hater.. They hate what you got
They put a black eye on on the game whenever they play
They piss in the pool, And they fart on the elevator
Then look you in the face, Like they think you did it
They hate change (They hate change)
And they hate progress
They hate me and they hate you
They hate they own momma
Cuz they think its her fault that they ain't got shit
But I'm here to tell ya today
That if you a hater
Then you are the outter take or your own business (Amen)
And someody just put 25 dollars in the collection plate
So I'ma go up on the corner
And buy me a fish sandwich
Y'all hold it down, I'll be right back

And don't you ever forget

We're about to get in this song, "Church"
A.K.A. "It's Reality"
Aiyyo, wake up, wipe the sleep from ya eyecracks
It's time to focus y'all, fix ya I-MAX
In other words, listen to the brother's words
Ingest these anecdotes with hope
And ya ass, may learn how to cope
It's not always good just to get by
Who's coverin' when ya stakes when ya bet high?
You're cha-sin', cars, clothes and rocks
Identify with the goods you got
Make sure it's V-S-One, not
And perfect, leavin' you one clear
I really don't care to see ya tattoos there
I'd rather see you graduate the school year
Black folk, go put a book in ya face
But first give the hook a taste
Bring the preacher in
Heal, heal, y'all
We comin' healin'
It's real, it's real
It's realer than real, realer than real
Heal, y'all
We comin' healin', so better heal
It's real, it's real
It's realer than real, realer than real
It's a sick world that we live in, let some tell it
Some put it in books, some yell it
You need to make your own choice
Be your own voice
Set ya soap-box up, let your talk fight
Pull ya socks up, get ya walk right
Or the chalk might outline ya one day
You oughta try steppin' outside you one day
You circle 'round yourself
Like you the answer
To the question of your inner son
But keep ya falsehoods to a minimum
We all need a little church
A life update, keyword, update
If they don't serve change, don't bite the bait
Instead'a givin' you a share, servin' you a dish
I lead you to the water, show you how to fish
Ain't nothin' wrong makin' that bread wid'it
But don't let the bread get to ya head, geddit?
And now admit it, when you can't stand alone
I wanna stand up, give all the pretend up
And get a full blast of my demands of
The rhyme runner said the man's come
There's something in our words that reveal, sho 'nough real
Heal y'all, we come to heal
So let it heal you
It's real, it's real
It's realer than real, realer than real
Heal y'all, we gonna heal it
So let it heal
It's real, so real
It's realer than real, for real, for real
The early bird gets the worm in this rotten apple
But explore deep and you will the find the seed
Plant more ether, get your mind free
We roll passsionate, put your lights last in it
You're holdin' fear too close, unfasten it
And like old age invades youth, invade falseness with truth
Replace rebelling with rebirth, face new dwelling, that's your turf
Now kick back and put your feet up on the sofa
Relax, learn how to punch back and do your work to the max
The payoff's much sweeter than the payback
Even the haysack needle wouldn't play that
So let's pray at, church, church
Heal, heal y'all
We comin' healin'
It's real, it's real
It's realer than real, realer than real
Heal y'all, we comin' healin'
So let it heal
It's real, it's real
It's realer than real, realer than real
Reality, reality, real
Reality, reality, real
Reality, reality, real
You know what I mean? Rap outsold crack
You know, so rap, or hip-hop culture
However you wanna dice it, you know what I'm sayin'
It's the most powerful drug there is, man
It changed corporate America, it changed the way you feel about me
It change the way that I, I do my thing now
Busta was the one who came out, on the award show and said that
Hip-hop provides jobs for people who don't even love the shit

Top Church, Anna Miranda

Is it worth it
A new winter coat and shoes for the wife
And a bicycle on the boy's birthday
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
By the women and children
Soon we'll be shipbuilding
Well I ask you
The boy said 'DAD THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE ME TO TASK
BUT I'LL BE BACK BY CHRISTMAS'
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
Somebody said that someone got filled in
For saying that people get killed in
The result of this shipbuilding
With all the will in the world
Diving for dear life
When we could be diving for pearls
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
A telegram or a picture postcard
Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
And notifying the next of kin
Once again
It's all we're skilled in
We will be shipbuilding
WITH ALL THE WILL IN THE WORLD
DIVING FOR DEAR LIFE
WHEN WE COULD BE DIVING FOR PEARLS

Top Church, Take It Back

She said thanks for the present
Thanks for the future too
But it'll take something better than this creature you left
To make me come back to you
You better take it back (take it to the bottom)
Take it back (take it to the bone)
Take it back (take it anywhere I go)
Take it back (take it all night long)
When I first arrived in this brand new life
With my halo and clean slate
But then I dabbles and I meddled until I couldn't backpedal
And I hate my fate
I want to take it back (take it to the bottom)
Take it back (take it to the bone)
Take it back (take it anywhere I go)
Take it back (take it all night long)
She said thanks for the memories
She said thanks for the booze
She said thanks for everything that made me sing
These elemental breakdown blues
Why don't you take it back (take it to the bottom)
Take it back (take it to the bone)
Take it back (take it anywhere I go)
Take it back (take it all night long)

Top Outkast, Church

Man, have you ever really wondered
Like why are we here? What the meanin to all of this?
Sometimes life can keep you down, with your face all in the dirt
(HALL-LE-LU-JAH)
Now if you feel that left behind, need to get up and go to church
(HALL-LE-LU-JAH)
Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh
(HALL-LE-LU-JAH)
Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh..
(HALL-LE, LU-JAH)
Big, slide into the mode, time to drop a load
My life is goin downhill like some cardboard in the snow
My bank account is frozen, I
don't think that I can get out this hole
Feel like the figure four leglock
Like the jury went away and then they came back deadlocked
I can't move, I can't eat, I can't even breathe
Can't even buy a decent sack without the stems and the seeds
No trees, no P's to ease the stress of everyday livin
But homeless people gotta suck it up wherever they livin
The unforgiven or the unwillin, live a life of sinnin
And expect to be as pure as an infant in the beginnin
But what about repentance?
What about detention?
What about you eating dinner in the devil's kitchen?
But what about repentance?
What about committing the same sin
over and over again and again and ah..
Why are we here? Huh? Huh? Huh?
Please tell me - what are we here foooooooorrrrrrrrrr?
Life, is nothin but a dream, so peaceful and serene
Unless you're bein evil then you on the devil's team
Well I receive what you want to believe
But soon you'll have to sew those bad seeds
Please, any man can ask, to get a pass
or a cleansing of sin to grant another chance
Perhaps another glance of the light at the end of the tunnel
Talk to the coach or break out the huddle
Whatever should you fumble your rebuttal should be subtle
Cause he who lives in the upper room is never gullible
As you survey the syllables and sentences

Top Church, Paradox

You are a paradox to me, a senseless maze
I run around, I'm looking for you all of my days
The more that you want it, the more that you need it
The less that it does
Run out it's rough, too much is enough
And that's what it was
I cannot bear to share you, we can't be alone
You make me drift up and float, and fall like a stone
The more that I see you, the more that I miss you
The less that I care
I know I should try to kiss you goodbye, but
You're never there
I've got a nickname for you, I call you weakness
I get a little strength out too, or is it meekness
The more that you want it, the more that you need it
The less that it does
Run out it's rough, too much is enough
And that's what it was
You are a paradox to me, a contradiction

Top Church, Towards Sleep

Trust her distant island cluster
Protecting her from intrusive things
I know I really shouldn't trust her
She's looked at all my dreams
Chorus:
Now she's hiding out in the distance somewhere
Falling down towards sleep
Gotta get a little feeling out there
Gotta get in deep
(Second time only)
Before she goes to sleep, to dream about guitars
One of the sisters is a flight assistant
One of them is a plane
One of them is a typhoon
Never going back again
One of their mothers was a mother lode
One of them was a mermaid
One of them was a long gone woman
Do you think that's funny ?
Chorus

Top Church, Busdriver

Busdriver, busdriver you have taken me too far
And I feel that I've been lost
And I don't know where we are
Busdriver, busdriver I never saw your eyes
When we left the sun was up
Now, moons are in the sky
I woke up this morning
But I don't remember how
There was nothing left to care about
Oh busdriver where are we now
Busdriver, busdriver I don't recognize this town
Someone called me miles ago
You must have heard the sound
Busdriver, busdriver there's noone else but us
And I can't picture any time
When I wasn't on the bus
I was late this morning
It was early I was sure
There was nothing left to think about
Oh busdriver there just must be more
Busdriver, busdriver there's noone else but us
And I can't picture any time
When I wasn't on the bus
I woke up this morning
But I don't remember how
There was nothing left to talk about
There was nothing left to think about
Now there's nothing left to care about

Top T-Pain, Church

Top Church, Florian Trout

Florian Trout was a distant boy, he lived in a very strange town
Where was he, you may well ask, when the widow's house burned down
I've seen his face in windows, his voice upon the wind
I felt his hand upon my shoulder
I felt like I had sinned
Take your time, make your way
Watch your step, watch your step
Searched for him in nightmares
I've been led through the dark
Postcards from a paradise with shadows and with sharks
In the furtive gestures, in the lighting's flash
Over static airways, detour round the crash
Take your time...
How deep is the deepest ocean
How high is the sky
You have love and sweet devotion
I wonder why can't I
Florian Trout was a brilliant mind gruesome in precision
Analytic like a knife, sharp like an incision
Blue and purple in the night he goes about his business
Seldom even looking out into the silver distance
Take your time...
Florian Trout was a distant boy, he lived in a very strange town
Where was he, you may well ask, when the widow's house burned down
I wonder how he feels right now when evening shades are falling
Lonely in his capsule with all of heaven calling
How deep is ....

Top Church, Aura

We all came back from the war
I wish somebody would tell me the score
We raked old Posiedon over the coals
Shook his shells, shaked his shoals
Where can a soldier fix himself a drink
Forget the noise, forget the stink
And the opium is running pretty low
'Cause when the pain comes back, I don't want to know
Across yonder ocean the natives are fierce
Their ears are filled their teeth are pierced
But it's not their spears that spill your breath
They kill their enemies by loving them to death
We were on some battlefield
I felt something soft go through my shield
I felt something warm enter my guts
I was bleeding bad but there were no cuts
They captured three of us, took us back to their village
After a long long time I could decipher their language
They worshipped Baal, they worshipped the sun
They worshipped the son of the evil one
They were more than voracious, they sucked our ambition
They let me go on one condition
That was when I came back to my native shore
I tell you they don't want to play with us anymore
But a part of me will never be free
And the part that's free will never be me
But a thing of love and beauty is in my head
A message from my enemies, and here's what they said
They said that love = hate
And death = fate
An enemy always = an adorer
But priest = aura
And life = time
And time = space
And space = sublime
And human = race
Oh and woman = man
And pot = pan
The fauna ought to equal the flora
But priest = aura
And beginning = the end
The end always = the start
But straight = bent
The mind sometimes = the heart
And you = me
The land = the sea
Richer = poorer

Top Church, Chaos

I wasn't expecting this
Now everything is destroyed
Underneath us are the nothings
Underneath them is a void
Beyond that void is a place
Where figments from bad dreams are banished
Childhood nightmares all come seeking
And adult lo
gic nearly vanished
Chaos
None of this is what I wanted
I truly asked for what I got
Bang the gavel, it's lawlessness
I can't unravel the knot
Half this wretched town is starving
While the other half are bloated
Everybody hates the bastards in p
ower
But their pill is sugar coated
I didn't need any of this
I feel anxiety in my neck
The consequences now apparent
Feeding back unchecked
Incessant blue in spiral coils
Fingers underneath the skin
Adrenaline is not my mistress
But she always k
nows just where I've been

Top Church, Youve Got To Go

There's a distant light shining over you tonight
You've been transformed, you'll always be my storm
In the Tuscan dusk you're swooning under moons of musk
You touch the texture of the tiles and miles away
A visitor waits for you to show
You've got to go
In the plum sun dunes rippling to a frail tune
You've been conveyed, you'll always be my lifetimes blade
Along the alpine drive uncertain how to be alive
You love the fragments of a smile and miles away
A courier invokes your name you know
You've got to go
And another heart breaks, you're wasting all the time it takes
You've been assigned, you'll never be too far behind
Wait for a bus to come, you know another verse to hum
You thrust the windows for a while and miles away
Your servants searching high and low
You've got to go

Top Church, Roman

Oh what a feeling baby, knowledge and brutaltiy
Whose soul you stealing baby,lost your immortality
Another empty conquest, Venus set me free
Oh what a ritual father, father why you leaving me
They've found another martyr, rather it was him than me
They took away his language, then his memory
He said "I'm never, never coming back again
Oh what a battle master, what a noble enemy
We have to kill them bastards, then compose an elegy
I thought I saw their leader fallen on his knees
He said "I'm never, never coming back again
Oh what an ending baby, prominse you'll remember me
I'm not pretending baby, your sweet and wicked treachery
Water all my orchids, save my dynasty

Top Church, Metropolis

There'll never be another quite like you
I'm so involved with everything you do
Don't say nothing good will ever come of this
Don't say the damage is worse than it is
Back in Metropolis, circuses and elephants
Where the oranges grew
Back in Metropolis nothing can ever topple us
When I'm standing with you
You stare down at some crowd from your trapeze
And when you fell they fell down on their knees
And when you broke they scrambled for a piece
And when you spoke I felt their anger freeze
Back in Metropolis, circuses and elephants
Where the oranges grew
Back in Metropolis nothing can ever topple us
When I'm standing with you
Back in Metropolis talk about a holocaust
And then visit the zoo
Back in Metropolis the weather is ridiculous
What's it all leading to
And it's only a day away
We could leave tonight
You could sleep along the way

Top Church, Louisiana

(Kilbey/Wilson-Piper/Koppes/Powles)
Empty birdcage in her room
Curtains pulled against the moon
Follow her down to Louisiana
Hotel room bedside manner
God I've got to get back soon
She wriggles like a fish in a net
Details you can never forget
One thing or another
Never any (bother?) considering the (regret?)
//or//
Never anybody causing me no regret ?
That's my story
Cost a fortune
Louisiana
Black rain falling in the night
Strangers meet in the lamp light
Once in her life Louisiana
Standing alone out on the veranda
Christ I must have been a sight
She struggles like a leaf in the wind
Waiting for the music to begin
One thing or another
Always (miss the other lover ?)
Look what a state I'm in
That's my story
Nothing special
Louisiana
Billy moved to Abilene
Lou is searching for morphine
Next stop is Louisiana
No-one there with a welcome banner
I don't suppose that they're too keen
She juggled her gentlemen friends
And suddenly the war ends
Coming home finding other men in hiding
Biding her lonely weekends
What a story
Cast of thousands
Louisiana
Empty birdcage in her room
Shadows shrunk against the moon
Follow her down to Louisiana
Hotel room bedside manner
God I've got to get back soon

Top Church, Myrrh

Top Macklemore, Church

[Jim Valvano speech at the 1993 ESPY Awards:]
Time, time is very precious to me. I don't know how much I have left and I have some things I would like to say. Hopefully at the end I'll have something that will be important to other people too.
[Geologic:]
Stand up, sit down, stand up again
Morse Code sent to God, are you listening?
He must have been too busy fixing other shit
No call, no response shows the opposite
We confess to the man who was faceless
I still do the same but to thousands of strangers
Went through some changes, some said I'm faithless
'Cause I replaced the altar with a basement
I often fought the explanation of where people go when their bodies let go of the soul
Does it just turn cold?
Or do we get judged and told where to go?
And if so, how the fuck would you know if nobody came back and said I'm telling you, bro?
I could never get past the shit that was spit out the pastor's lips
And the rapper's started making more sense
I guess that's the reason that some people cringe when they kids get a hold of my shit
If the grip of a God is insistent on not questioning if he truly exists
No wonder that I got caught up in the music it filled my spirit to the brim, amen
Motha fucker
[Macklemore:]
This is my offering card
The only thing I have to offer is bars
The only time I felt like I was talking to God
Was in my Walkman walking with Nas
Alright see I be going to Sunday school every week
In the back trying to read, but see that something was off
Maybe it was 'cause I was trying to huddle in the yard
Preacher didn't connect when he would mumble the Psalms
I was in my head and I was bustin' with Pac
Takin' off my wifebeater and getting drunk in the park
After that part, I found God, it wasn't Jesus
Some psilocybin and the ink released him
I began to hold communion every time my music came out the speakers I used it
And it fuled my movement I believed in, voice of reason, just me and my Adidas
And I could achieve it, I put my hand over my heart, pledge allegiance
I solemnly swear by the faith that raised my since Kool Herc dropped the needle
The South Bronx, that's hip-hop's Egypt
The word of our God is manipulated and twisted by the same system
That is infiltrated and falsely interpreted Jesus
One life, one love, one God, It's us, treated your neighbor how you would want to be treated
The universal laws of God, don't look too far it's right here, us human beings
The spirits right here and I don't have to see it
Now every time I want to connect with God I put my headphones on
Then I nod, grab my pen, my pad, let it seep in, in
And that's my process
And God's always watching
Got God in my Walkman

Top Church, Laughing

Five o' clock, fade away the shadows
Leaving by the window or the door
And they're laughing
Laughing at you anyway
Yeah they're laughing
Laughing at you every day
Eight o' clock, underneath the lamplight
Slow poison from a tiny little wound
And they're laughing
Laughing at you anyway
Yeah they're laughing
Laughing at you every day
I understood before I knew
I realized I'd spend my life coming back to you
Twelve o'clock, in the building of the mirrors
Recoil from my elongated twin
And he's laughing
Laughing at you anyway
Yeah he's laughing

Top Church, In This Room

Oh the avenging angel
Shiver in the way of her stare
I will admit that she never loved me
But I admit that I didn't care
And it's too damned late to buy the gate
And why close it if your heart isn't there
And since you know it all
I could give you a call
I could give you something fine to compare yourself to
My eyes begin to ache in the cold electric light
There are no windows in this room
In which we've been sitting all our lives
Some incredible distance
Some incredible place
Sometimes I think, sometimes I sink
In some incredible race
And it's too damned soon for a man of fortune
To have to run or lose his face
And since you know it all
I could give you a call

Top Church, Lost

Sometimes I'm wondering under prehistoric skies.
I feel it's all beginning right before my eyes.
I must go back, reexamine my love.
Here she comes with the penetrated stare.
I don't know when, but I wish I knew where.
Quick calculation, there's not nearly enough.
Because we're lost, because we're lost.
Cold desert stars, feel them sparkle and frost,
They are so lost.
Follow her down to worship some god.
Who never speaks to me, I wonder if that's odd.
Then he says you're never listening.
The pursuit of adulation is your butter and your bread.
It's an exquisite corpse and its lips are red
And its teeth are glistening.
But you are lost, but you are lost.
Now hang up 'cause the lines are all crossed,
You are so lost.
If you're alone and you're feeling blue,
Everyone in Persia probably feels like that too.
I just hope they don't believe like you do.
Here she comes with her unforgiving web.
Almost forever I've been drinking these dregs.
It must be time to change our brew, cruel, view.
Before we're lost, before we're lost.
Look at the map, add up the cost,

Top Church, Life Speeds Up

The clouds in the sky are all rushing by
A stare's just a backwards glance
The years and the days are all melting away
Yet you still won't take a chance
But life speeds up, don't you know, don't you know
The push and the throb, the threat of the mob
The crack's not a secret this time
The mouths and the doors, now I can't shut anymore
Keep running, you're falling behind
The world spins alone, the weight of it groans
I get dizzy just turning the page
The air holds us down and we're stuck on the ground
Trying to slip off our age
Come to the window come to the door
Given under my hand given under the law
I gave you everything you still want more
They gave you some mad forgotten war
Now it's time to slow things down
Because I told you life speeds up
Tell me how it happened did it hurt did you cry
Did you ever feel yourself falling out of the sky
Did you ever lie awake and wonder why
Did you ever fall asleep and dream that you died
We grind to a halt and we start again
We come to a corner but it's only a bend
And all those broken promises they never end

Top Church, In A Heartbeat

Your room is damp, your love's turning cold
Where is the meaning I thought we could hold
I can't believe what's happened to you
I stand back and watch, there's nothing I can do
Poetry, a delicious joke
All your flame going up in smoke
Just once more, just once again
If I ever get caught here, you'll know who to blame
In a heartbeat and a heartbeat's all that it takes
In a heartbeat see your heartbreak
I play some records but the words are too strange
I call you sometimes but your number's been changed
I will remember every smile and tear

Top Church, Essence

The universe is female
Eluding the science of men
You sway and you swagger with your mean little dagger
You're gonna blow it again
I'll prove her existence in everything
The soul of her rivers and stones
Her acquiescence in everything
Her essence, her presence, her bones
Lust and law take the masculine
Ambition and war take the boys
Pin the tail on the alpha male
A little man making big noise
It's not the engine or chassis
It's not the weapon or length
Your war dance I guess got this place in this mess
But there's something that's stronger than strength
Metaphor is a goddess
A king that's fit for a queen
The opposite side of that armored old hide

Top Bob Welch, Church

Well come down from your church
And talk to a man
Who knows that he loves you
And wants to understand
He knows why you cry
When you were young
You got down on your knees
You prayed for someone
Someone you could believe
Yeah, you put your faith
Right in his hands
Oh, when he let go
You couldn´t understand
Welcome down from your church
And talk to a man
Who knows that he loves you
And wants to understand
He knows why you cry
Fallen angel, temptation had you lost
Single girl, you´ve been double-crossed
Hold on holy one, some day you´ll be saved
And I want to be the one
On that blessed day
When you come down from your church
And talk to a man
Who knows that he loves you
And wants to understand
Fly down from your perch
And walk with a man
Who knows how to love you
Yes, I believe I can

Top Church, Another Earth

At the back of your mind
Where you hide your real self
Lay down your head
You see her once more
She wants the moon and stars
She, she needs her time and space
She wants (another Earth - Bastard Universe)
Wants another Earth
She wants the moon and stars
At the end of the day
When the light is so soft
You take off your mask
See she's never around
She wants the moon and stars
She, she wants the world to end
She wants (another Earth - Bastard Universe)
Wants another Earth
She wants the moon and stars
She, she wants the world to end
She, she needs some time and space
She, she wants another Earth
She needs some time and space

Top Church, The Moon And The Sea

The boat goes out, surrender yours
It could be any day
The fishermen shout, approaching storm
It's just like yesterday
Sometimes I can't tell what I'm doin' here
Am I s'pposed to be a clown or a buccanneer
From the vaguest clue to the faintest idea
A Roman holiday
Chorus:Surrender smiles, epiphanies
It's almost every day
And the sea's in my bed
And the moon's in my head
We live in a house upon the hill
Its just a mile away
We look out to sea
Dawn's early light
It chased the night away
Sometimes I can't tell if I'm you or me
Alone in this room with the moon and the sea
Listen to the space where she used to be
Another life away
Chorus

Top Church, Oxydental

Sixteen spirit voices in a menal melange
The disembodied chorus in a bucket of flange
Baby serpents dreaming at the bottom of their eggs
Occidental drone driving their legs
Somebody somewhere must have figured it out
Leaving it open for apostles of doubt
Banging on a tabla till the kingdom comes
Feel it in my fingers and my thimbles and thumbs
Einstein sent a cruiser to another dimension
Strange little beasties on the surface tension
A plague of maharishis in a post-ecstatic haze
Is this the way you've been wasting your days

Top Church, Take Your Place

These are the marks you made
You never meant to fade
They come in to take your place
And these are the stories I heard
Come back, a sad farewell
They come in to take your place
But all of the treasure you saved
And none of the lives you lost
Will come in to take your place
And three (free ?) are the days in May
But not one single moment
Will come in to take your place
Will come in to take your place (repeat)
They come in to take your place (repeat)

Top Church, Fog

Don't even try reading my mind again
It's the second time I've caught you
Rummaging around in my head
I know what you're after yeah
And I've hidden it where you will never look
I know you like to remember things that never happened
I don't like driving in this fog
I don't like struggling in this web
And if I ever wake up
As if you'll ever wake up
The people in here are getting hungry again
They hunger for something intangible
Something even you can't provide
It hurts to think that in a hundred years
We'll all just be microfiche
Our names and the names of our songs
Cataloged and filed away
I don't like driving in this fog
I don't like struggling in this web
And if I ever wake up
As if you'll ever wake up
Didn't think I felt so empty
Emptiness can feel so good
I see the perfect life is the life of a tree
Yeah the life of a tree is the life for me
But you chop me up for wood
Don't ever try reading my mind again
It's the second time I've caught you rummaging
Around in my head
I don't like driving in this fog
I don't like struggling in this web
And if I ever wake up
As if you'll ever wake up again

Top Church, Room Full Of Diamonds

Standing in a room full of diamonds
I don't know which way to turn
Girlfriend's in the next room with her boyfriend
She's handing out the keys
Silence to the underdog
The one who don't get a job
Talks about the boys in her life
I don't believe a single word she says
And she's lying and crying, lying and crying
What am I supposed to do
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
Why did she have to leave so soon
I used to be in love though not the first time
It was the daughter of the mayor (man ?)
She talks about the men in her life
I don't believe a word
'Cause she's lying, crying, lying, crying, lying, crying, lying, crying
She's lying and crying, crying
What am I supposed to do
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
Why did she have to leave so soon
Standing in a room full of diamonds
I don't know which way to turn
Girlfriend's in the next room with her boyfriend
She's handing out the keys
She's lying and crying, crying, lying and crying
Room full of diamonds

Top Church, Fighter Pilot....Korean War

A thousand powdered parts
Past the sun and moon
The hint of timelessness splashed
On this afternoon
And they tell me I'm inside
When I run and when I hide
I want to touch you
I think my courage must
Never leave this room
It's like the history that
Hides in the monsoon
And they tell me I'm alive
But when I lean into a dive
I want to touch you
At home they think we must be fools
The sky or street, they're both as cruel
When you're running low on fuel
And I ran out books ago
Last night I overheard your prayers
It's emptiness that scares
Or disappearing in thin air
To a lost place down below
Once upon a time
In a distant land
I felt the rising sun
Focused through my hand
And they tell me I'm so changed
But if I ever was the same
I want to touch you
The action calls me away

Top Church, Deep In the Shallows

Come down, another day
Morning streaked on a perspex screen
The screaming beaked blackbirds peck
The wrecked eyes of last week's lies
The sandman gets shallow sleep
He tries to weep for the grown-up things
One last peep for policemen
A'resting in the woodland side so steep
Oh and I hope I'm not going too fast for you
And don't believe it when they say it's over
It's not over
There's an ice age due on Wednesday
Overcast sky, blocks of fortune
The bridges sigh, the sweethearts are blank
They never thank, you know they never even try
Winking at the paperboy, paperwork
Overloaded portrait
Let it jerk you back to yesterday
That's where the curtains start to fray

Top Church, Magician Among the Spirits and Some

We press on and on
Funny how the future's always waiting for you
When the day has gone
We hide away
Shadows that stalk you
The wind that calls your name
Voices in the thunder
Don't understand what they're saying
We build monuments
To celebrate our glorious dead now
Iron and cement
Above their tombs
We cast out our nets
Drag up the struggling contents surely
We must not forget
That hunger looms
Shadows that stalk you
The wind that calls your name (shadows that stalk you)
Shadows that stalk you
Child cries and he learns
And doubt returns
In the Darkest hours
We restle with our ancestors
We resist their power
The power of being
In the coldest night
Huddled 'round the dying embers
Praying for the light
Might set us free
Fingers that soothe you
Shadows that stalk you (the jokes that make you sleep)
Intricate harness
Shadows that stalk you (the harvest that you reap)
Man stalls, he flies
Man falls and he rise
We press on and on
Funny how the future's always waiting for you
When the day has gone
We hide away

Top Church, Forget Yourself

Baby I know there's people out there starving
Baby don't go, you got the wrong idea
Baby don't say there's people out there laughing
Baby that way it's gonna take me years
You're blowing hot and cold
I want you heart and soul
A pretty pal curiously [1: 30] won't give me what you sow
Some day I think that nothing outside matters
Some day you blink, you miss a thousand years
Some day I pray, falling dumbly to my bed
Some day you stay till the audience appears
You're blowing hot and cold
I want you heart and soul
A pretty pal curiously [2: 54] won't give me what you sow

Top Church, Of Skins & Heart

I'm not exact but I'm not insane
I clutched at someone in the dark again
It's so hard to remember her name she never said
It was in a story that I wanted to write
The details weren't important, the plot was slight
No-one asked what happened that night she never said
Get out of bed, pull on a shoe
I've got a notion what we ought to do
Here's a number you can try to ring
I'm still thinking about all the things she never said
I parked my car by some memories
And told my story to the laughing trees
They don't know what's wrong with me, she never said
All the letters had the wrong address
Did you notice who cleared up the mess
What the date was is anybody's guess she never said

Top Church, Russian Autumn Heart

Combustion, suggestions, roaring engines
Jewels and lathes that build a world
Titanic Howard Hughes, an aimless king
Always spoiling the best things you done
So red squares and wavy leaves
Delicate glass kisses, delicate lips
Russian autumn heart
Testing, digressing, falling to the earth
Red-hot spaceships with soil so rich
A trillion pennies for a handful of dust
A sight only witnessed by a mountain of ice
So red squares and wavy leaves
Sibling link meets Manchurian mink
Russian autumn heart
Combustion, suggestions, roaring engines
Jewels and lathes that rule the world
Titanic Howard Hughes, an aimless king
Always spoiling the best things you done
So red squares and wavy leaves
Delicate glass kisses, delicate lips

Top Church, Shell

Hello sweet creature
Won't you give me some bloodlike guarantee
I've been listening to myself too long
And they're making a prophet out of me
I'm as empty as a shell can ever be
I've been walking through the desert
No it must have been the library
Reading a book which once gave me hope
Now it's making a fool out of me
I'm as empty as a shell can ever be
Lazy dreaming, half remembering, half remarkingto myself
Never noticed that the crowds were leaving
Never looked for anyone else
Now it's market day almost every day
Yet they give away their love for free
I'm just waiting for a ship to come
And it's making a slave out of me
I'm as empty as a shell can ever be
Lazy dreaming, half remembering, half remarking to myself
Never noticed that the crowds were leaving
Never looked for anyone else
Hello sweet creature
Won't you give me some bloodlike guarantee
I've been listening to myself too long
I've been walking through the desert
Must have been the library

Top Church, Ricochet

(Kilbey/Wilson-Piper/Koppes/Powles)
After the demise of our beloved leader
Everybody knew that something had to give
Cassandra she told me
But no-one would believe her
I wish I had helped her more than I did
We tried to overcome the threat of the monster
We tried to kneel down and call up the beast
Maria she told me
That her kid had just appeared one day
I just can't tell who I adore the least
The rivers run astray
Ricochet
Night feels just like day
Ricochet
And everybody just walk away
In one side of my mind resides a controller
In one side of my mind revolves a/the relief
And one pain in my brain remains unchanged
I say you cannot explain the grief
Once in a while when the wind has slowed down
Me and the girls visit struggle town
There's a shop down there
Selling skulls (spells/stones) and powder
But/we don't ask any questions about her/it
You can't be a lover if you want to keep on using
What are you using that's stronger than the love
Sometimes I'm knocked out by the damage that you're doing
Knocked out, locked out, push comes to shove
Listen to the wind tearing at the windows
Watching how the white moon melts into the cloud
Important little tyrants, impotent little pharaohs
Men/man of sorrows lost into the crowd
The rivers run astray
Ricochet
Night feels just like day
Ricochet
Everybody walk away
So if the ladies ask you over to play

Top Church, Song for the Asking

I am a sailor on the water, did not find me through the dark
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know where you go
I don't know, I don't know why I loved you so
You said it was alright, it stayed with me all night
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care where you are
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care who you are
You said it was too hard, you took out your trump card
Song for the asking, song for you obviously
Song for a singer, song for a B movie
Song for the asking, song for you and me
I don't think, I don't think, I don't think I've ever been to the brink
I don't think, I don't think, I don't think I'll have another drink
You said it was enough then you called my bluff
Song for the asking, song for you especially
Song for the singer, song for a B movie
Song for the asking, song for you and the sea
I don't guess, I don't guess the answer will be 'Yes'
I don't guess, I don't guess, I don't guess you can't wait to undress
You said it was ready, I held myself steady
Song for the asking, song for you especially
Song full of nothing, song for the royalty

Top Church, Perfect Child

In a garden, in a kitchen
On an earth beyond adventure
On an island in the sea
As a message from the future
As a man who held the answers
As another man comes crashing as me
Inside your eyes I see the blackness of dead space
A man could float forever and never find this place
Lie down my perfect child, this is but a dream
From a time when sorrow was set free
From a land of doubt and misery
From a suburb listed locally
When the sun was blotted out 'the sky
When the wind will refuse to die

Top Church, Reptile

Too dangerous to keep.
Too feeble to let go.
And you want to bite the hand.
Should have stopped this long ago.
Go now, you've been set free.
Another month or so you'll be poisoning me
With your lovely smile.
I see you slither away with your skin and your tail,
Your flickering tongue and your rattling scales
Like a real reptile.
Had you coiled around my arm.
How could you ever know
How I loved your diamomd eyes?
But that was long ago. (Chorus)
And I should have believed Eve.
She said we had to blow.
She was the apple of my eye.

Top Church, No Certainty Attached

(Kilbey/Wilson-Piper/Koppes/Powles)
You can't confuse me
You can't take me on as you are
You don't dare refuse me
Cos I know where in the garden you buried your star
Slow down, low down
You better break it up
No certainty attached
Slow down, low down
No certainty attached
Gulls in the harbour
You feel tiny pangs of pain
I thought you wore the cat's pyjamas
Is there something here should be explained ?
Slow down, low down
You better take it off
No certainty attached
Slow down, low down
No certainty attached
I'll keep on riding on my star,
I'll hold on to it's icy edge,
I'll keep on crashing out of space,
I'll keep on...
Girls in the windows
Windows in the houses in the streets
Street street streets in the city
City in the country from the clouds
Slow down, low down
You better break it up
No certainty attached
Slow down, low down
No certainty attached
Slow down, low down
Slow down, low down
We're gonna rise above it all
We're gonna pull the curtain back
We're gonna drop right out the sky

Top Church, Nonapology

Excuse me, you know I hate to complain
But I never argue, I shouldn't have to explain
There's a million restless reasons in here
I can't repeat again
Lizards eating flies in the oriental sun
Swaying towers lean attention
Out where the currents run
I've seen what you think is unseeable
Disagreed with what you think's disagreeable
I think and I blink of my own accord
Your vested interest seems so small
Sorry to waste your time
Maybe I was never here at all

Top Church, Night Of Light

Dishwater cafe in a torn paper street
A rundown future let me down now everything's complete
Uncurling human tragedy apparently a parody
Send my love upstairs to me she used to be a symphony
I let her go into the night
Night of light, satellite, quite a sight to see
Dream importer's underling who answers to the boss
Can't afford a breakage, I'll pay for any loss
Uncurling human tragedy there's definately a remedy
Let her come and look for me she used to be the enemy
(Chorus)
Seaside town in winter, I'm trying to write my book
She's broken down, it's raining, I said I'd have a look
Uncurling human tragedy appropriately a mystery
She tells my story back to me she said I'll live this chapter
till eternity

Top Church, Disenchanted

Well look at you,
Hands full of money you always wanted to have
Saying sweet life is a downright drag
Down to the very last seed in the bag
As if it's never gonna end
And the scene is through
Summer slipped under in this neighborhood
I'd like to hold onto you if I could
But now I'm gonna have to let you go for good
My disenchanted friend
They say that character you play is rising fast
So you get drunk, make a half second jump
And experience it as the past
But this is it, the closer you get
The deeper you go, the tighter the net looks to me
Do you enjoy the view
They say it makes you dizzy your first time up there
Till you get used to breathing rareified air
Auditioning for the part of Mr. Despair
Well I know him personally
And this hotel's a zoo
You gotta be some creature to get a room in here
You can live like a king on a throne of tears
It's a mighty long way from the innocent years
And it waits inevitably
(Chorus)
And I'm asking you
If you think that success is its own reward
Now then go and see what your persistence has scored
The voice is a'calling and it can't be ignored
You might be underground but you're overinsured
You used to be unknown now you're mapped and explored
You like to be untouched now you're handled and pawed
And it's never gonna end

Top Church, Telepath

You got no reason to go
I'll make it up, I don't know
You got no reason to stay
Anyway, any day
The flowers down the side of the house this morning
The tiny wheels within the whirl
A date pulled backwards and then left drowning
So the future can't uncurl
You've got no reason to laugh
Lead you down, telepath
You've got no reason to cry
Anyhow, any why
The women by the shore in the night are leaving
The angry dawn slyly grins
The soul scraper air that the boys are breathing
Assembled parts, tiny sins
You've got no reason to live
Pheromone
You've got no reason to die
Anyhow, any time
The music and the traffic and the rain are blending
The water meters, the fire escapes
Children in the present moment unending
Nobody knows their former shapes
You've got no reason to live
Pheromone
You've got no reason to die

Top Church, Summer

At the sea in the sand
You were free to my hand
As we touched behind the wind
Left so much outside our skin
You never stay in all four dimensions
You never ever return when you're gone
One more summer in surf city
Solarized recollection
Well, the sun and its rays
Are as one throughout space
And my mind's always on you
First a light, I'll break through
You never stay in all four dimensions
You never ever return when you're gone
One lonely summer in surf city
A solarized recollection
What a night to start writing about this
Tall palms grasp the summer clouds
And anchor the stormy sky to the ground
Outside the ghosts of Jaguars and Impalas
Roll along the storm roads
Leaving damp marks where they had passed
The air it hisses as they go
It stands aside with a decisive sigh
It reaches for this back fleeting

Top Church, The Unguarded Moment

So hard
Finding inspiration
I knew you'd find me crying
Tell those girls with rifles for minds
That their jokes don't make me laugh
They only make me feel like dying
In an unguarded moment
So long
Long between mirages
I knew you'd find me drinking
Tell those men with horses for arms
That their jokes don't make me bleed
They only make me feel like shrinking
In an unguarded moment
So deep
Deep without a meaning
I knew you'd find me leaving
Tell those friends with cameras for eyes
That their hands don't make me hang
They only make me feel like breathing
In an unguarded moment
In an unguarded moment
In an unguarded moment
In an unguarded moment
In an unguarded moment
In an unguarded moment
In an unguarded moment
In an unguarded moment
(In an unguarded moment)
In an unguarded moment
(In an unguarded moment)
In an unguarded moment
(In an unguarded moment)

Top Church, The Porpoise Song

My, my, the clock in the sky is pounding away
There's so much to say
A face, a voice, an overdub has no choice
It cannot rejoice
Wanting to see, to know and to be crying to the sky
And the porpoise is waiting goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Clicks, clacks, riding the backs of giraffes
For the laughs is alright for a little while
The ego sings of castles and kings
And things that go with a life of style
Wanting to feel, to know what is real, living is a lie
And the porpoise is laughing goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Top Church, Antenna

Why do you always wrongly assume
That you're so well aware of what's happ'ning there,
Right here in this room?
You're just an antenna, you're just a wire.
There's a thousand tongues wagging in your ears tonight,
And you turn around and you call me a liar.
Lightly babe, oh the fine lights cannot find you.
She stay out my way, it's the pulse I am aligned to.
And everything you say, you'll need that breath one day.
Well, you're just an antenna, you're just a code.
You translate like a book, the fuses all cook.
You eat humble pie and it tastes of the road.
Lightly babe, oh the fine lights cannot find you.
She say, that's the way, that's the fate I am resigned to.
And everything you say, you'll need that breath one day.
You're just an antenna, you're just a gauge.
You disturb my slumber and round up the numbers
And put them inside your velvety cage.
Lightly babe, oh the fine lights cannot find you.
She say, make my day, and the sunlight will not blind you.
Lightly babe, oh the fine lights cannot find you.

Top Church, Youth Worshipper

Youth worshipper, goddess of ruin
Youth worshipper, like you know what you're doing
I'll bet the sun and rain never touch your face again
Race against the time
Youth worshipper, hope you know what you're worth now
Youth worshipper, Like you're paying the earth now
You want the child back, want an aphrodisiac
To fill the crack with time
Hooves and horns and teeth and bones
I'm gonna stitch you up when you come unsewn
Youth worshipper, wrapped in blue fox and ermine
Youth worshipper, got no pity for vermin
Your engines and machines drink your fuel and steal your scenes
They come between in time

Top Church, Song In Space

You, you wake up late
Yet you're asleep inside a dream
Then you feel something
Superimposed upon your thoughts
They say that in the future
Every man and woman will be a star
And everybody's shining
And it's blinding and they don't see too far
You can't spend the whole song in space
Next you move outside
You feel grey rain upon your skin
In the muted hush
The raindrops crash, the seconds roar
They say we're all assembled
From the tiny pieces of the red shift
The elevator's later
But it's swifter to just wait for a lift
You can't spend the whole song in space
Yeah
Life, the new frontier
An interlude eternity
You, you drink some wine
You had a smoke, you got to smile
They say that at the speed of light
The particles all get quite excited
But out here in this universe
It's bursting and we're all so delighted
You can't spend the whole song
You can't spend the whole song in space
You can't spend the whole song in space
You can't spend the whole song in space
You can't spend the whole song in space

Top Church, Under The Milky Way

This is it!
Breaking up or breaking through,
Breaking something's all we ever do,
Shoot straight, travel far,
Stone crazy's all we ever are,
But I don't care for lies,
And I won't tell you twice,
Because when all else fails,
Dead Men Tell No Tales
Shooting up away and back,
A bit of guts is all that you lack,
Far behind the stable door,
I know you've met that horse before,
But I don't care for sky,
And this sure ain't no lie,
At the end of all the tracks and trails,
Dead Men Tell No Tales
You used to be my friend,
But that friendship's coming to an end,
My meaning must be clear,
You know pity is all that you hear,
But if you're doing smack,
You won't be coming back,
I ain't the one to make your bail,
Dead Men Tell No Tales

Top Church, Tristesse

Here in this desert, beneath the sun and stars
Still troubled by the rumblings of a million distant cars
Please be good to me tonight, let me find my way
The air has some command in it I cannot disobey
A gunfight in Dodge City, a murder in Bombay
All these deeds and worldly needs I must shrug off today
All my life spent searching for prowess
Left me lying here with you, tristesse
I was working in an orchard that grew the strangest fruit
It wasn't Mother Nature that made those trees take root
Your children cannot hear you, they only want your loot
You hold on to their essence like a parachute
They never believed you were in distress
Now you've gone and left them with tristesse
Oh, waters inflamed
Ah, fires burning out
Ah, ice melting down
Ah, fires burnt out
A hotel suite in a rich man's town, a hut in Botany Bay
A prisoner by my own device, a mountain in my way
I'm gonna have to alter my address
"Cause I can't stay much longer with tristesse"
And they call this carnival progress

Top Church, Transient

Here for now, here for now
An island coincidence away
Boarding a train always leaving today
Approaching a station starts to slow
Ushered out, no will against the flow
Dark as the night comes to share
With stars in her hair
And grand majestic flair
Framed, a world passes by
With the sound of a young girl's sigh
Man carrying a brow
Smoke rises from the crowd
Here for now, here for now
Tug in the sound as if to say
There's left a part of now in yesterday
The hurry for fear to miss the show
Not as strong as the wind's eternal blow
Wondering if the leaves will fall in May

Top Church, She Comes In Singing

You've got a lot of nerve
Gonna get what you deserve
You've gone around the curve
You got a face like Raphael
You got a heart like a blue whale
And your heart is not for sale
You got a mind like magazine
You got a taste like Florentine
And a lot that's in between

Top Church, Trance Ending

Strange girl sing
Think all my life to me
Wild things you bring
Bring drums and bells to me
We dance and sway
Sway like the drunken priest
We dream all day
Day of the wedding feast
Dark hooded eyes
Eyes of a stallion
We roll the dice

Top Church, Gypsy Stomp

According to my calculations
It ought to be around here somewhere
In spite of human limitations
My estimation is it's out there
Don't get cute with me
Expecting mutiny
Here is the object
Here is the logic
This is the subject
Is that what you wanted ?
(Listen to me)
I'll do what you want
Never mind your reputation
Just get in fast and get out faster
What we need is concentration
Or the creation of disaster
And don't be close to me
It aint necessary
This is the limit
This is the finish
This is the limit
The modules diminish
(Listen to me)
I'll do what you want
Here is the object
Here is the logic
This is the subject
Is that what you wanted ?
Postpone all the celebration
Get on quick and get off quicker
Listen, for your information
In this situation we must not bicker
Don't put the blame on me
It's the same for me
This is the limit
This is the finish
This is the limit
The modules diminish
(Listen to me)
I'll do what you want
Here is the object
Here is the logic
This is the subject
Is that what you wanted ?
According to my calculations
It ought to be around here somewhere

Top Church, Tranquility

I heard about Maria, she hated the rat race
And she escaped to a beautiful place
Birds of neo-paradise groove in the trees
The name of her town is Tranquility
Protected by her mantra
Following the formula
In the sun thy will be done
Chasing her rainbows
Talking with the animals
Who say "You see, it's Tranquility"
Under shifting dimensions horizon returns
Smoke in the distance as Babylon burns
Summer in the river scattering the net
Long to remember that hasn't happened yet
Protected by her mantra
Following the orchestra
In the sun thy will be done
Chasing her rainbows
Talking with the animals
Who say "You see, it's Tranquility"
Protected by her mantra
Following the nebula
In the sun thy will be done
Chasing her rainbows
Talking with the animals
Who say "You see, it's Tranquility"
Boys I've had enough
There's no more smooth just rough
Don't go looking for me
Leave me

Top Church, Church

Sometimes when this place gets kinda empty
the sound of the breath fades with the light
I think about the loveless fascination
under the milky way tonight
lower the curtain down on Memphis
lower the curtain down on me
I got no time for private consultation
under the milky way tonight
wish I knew what you were looking for
might have known what you would find
and it's something quite peculiar
something shimmering and white
it leads you here, despite your destination
under the milky way tonight
wish I knew what you were looking for
might have known what you would find
wish I knew what you were looking for
might have known what you would find
and it's something quite peculiar
something shimmering and white
leads you here, despite your destination
under the milky way tonight
wish I knew what you were looking for
might have known what you would find
wish I knew what you were looking for
might have known what you would find
under the milky way tonight
under the milky way tonight
under the milky way tonight

Top Church, Priest = Aura

Top Church, Undo

God it's so high, God it's so high
Why don't I fly, why don't I fly
Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye
Elegant god, elegant sigh
Why don't you try, little advice
Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye
Just you and I, just you and I
Sweeter than pie, down in Bondi
Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye
Summer seaside town in motion
Holiday girl down by the ocean
Evenings are warm, just before the storm
You don't understand that it's all in your hands
And the graphs and the charts are pulling us further apart
Eight floors/ace stores [3:57, 5:50, 7:35] with their CDs online
Crashing in our field, wasting our time
And I don't care a bit of a fiddle-de-dee
What the phantom power is doing to me
It's tracking in the black, such audacity
We're not going back and that's that and that's all it can be
Lionized cats with their mirrors intact
Clawing our sides, tearing our back
I never took a potshot at a wounded beast
But I guess you never really met the deceased
I told all your enemies to come to the feast
If it comes to the crunch we'll do lunch with the bunch from the east
Cultures holding at the rockets controls
Slippery and when ready like this great country scrolls
If you're fucking with your enemies, you're killing your friends
This is where your reign of terror/pleasure ends
I know you'll understand that's a message he sends
But it's bad and it's sad and it's mad and I've had to give a dent

Top Church, HEYDAY

The king had something changed within him
I should have told him no
Oh Columbus, I never should have let you go
Now aching wires, midnight fires
Things I could not know
Oh Columbus, I never should have let you go
You don't suppose there'd
Be room in here somewhere for me
I think I just need
Someone's words to reassure me
I don't blame any of you, and I don't blame myself
Waiting for my small reward
It's going to come somehow
Oh Columbus, I wish that you could see us now
We don't posses a single empty tear
Or furrowed brow
Oh Columbus, I wish that you could see us now
You don't suppose there'd
Be room in here somewhere for me
I think I just need
Someone's words to reassure me
I can't change any of you, I can't change myself
The man had something strange about him
He should have let me know
Oh Columbus, I wish I'd never let you go
You don't suppose there'd
Be room in here somewhere for me
I think I just need
Someone's words to reassure me
I don't blame any of you, and I don't blame myself
Columbus

Top Church, Ripple

Tiny baby, so naive
I can't believe what you believe
You were once so happy here
It may not be Eden or summer in Greece
You may not even find the Gold Fleece
In the drag of this atmosphere
Now I don't want to bring up a delicate matter
No I'd much rather bribe or flatter you
'Cause flattery gets me everywhere
But you punctured my tires, you crossed all my wires
I brand your acolytes as a pack of liars
And the fire's s
inging everywhere
Buckle like a wreck on the cold green sea
Like you were a ripple in my memory
I leant you some collateral to buy new clothes
It went out the window and up your nose
And that's the end of the money
Yeah you walked down the aisle for another mile
I'd walk a million miles for one of your smiles
And you can have all the money soon
You're so deluxe, you're so divine
You're so fifty light years ahead of your time
You're a little, you're a ripple
You're the human sacrifice to the goddess of ice
Your hairdo is filled with diamonds and lice
And you're hardly off the nipple
Another little glitch in continuity

Top Church, Radiance

When a cloudy morning rain touched our little town
Three small sisters and a friend walking in the fields
A strange light in the sky blotting out the sun
Whatever happens next changes all our lives
And the children ran home sobbing and half blind
Said our lady has a message for mankind
Frightened and bewildered, not making any sense
Dazzled by the Virgin's radiance
And the icons in the church, crying tears of blood
The water in the wells curing all who drank
Pilgrim lunatics arrive in a ragged stream
In the fields around the village sprang up tents
People from the outside world want more evidence
Four tired children questioned day and night
All they can remember is Her blinding light
So the circus drifts away and the noise dies down
Life goes on as before all the people came
And the children never say what her message was
And the children ran home sobbing and half blind
Said, "Our lady has a message for mankind"
Frightened and bewildered, not making any sense
Dazzled by the Virgin in her radiance
People from the outside world want more evidence
People from the outside world want more evidence

Top Sean Price, Church

Big word halitosis
multiple scoliosis
Doctor Kill, giving the rap dosage
Postage stamped, signed, sealed, delivered
Distributed through out the hood, muthafucka, what's good?
Exciting, unorthodox, biting, ought to stop fighting
Fuck it, now I'm forced to box
You got 22 tattoos, you 2Pac
You tattoo much, touch like 2Pac, dude, that sucks
Smack saliva, out the side of ya face
I ain't trying to be rude
But dude, you fruit, so I gotta make grace
(Jesus Price has all the time)
Yeah, all praises due to the rhyme, ya'll niggas is foul
Fuck it, Sean'll shoot two from the line
Two for the nine, I leave lead in ya jaw and ya rock
These niggas ain't ready for war, let 'em know
rookies
ain't ready for retardation
In it's realest form in rap, this street car racing
Rebellious, rederic
heat start blazing
After that, I seen Caucasians, in the streets all taping shit up
They could be trying to piece ya faces back together
You keep on playing,
Yeah, The Loudmouf Choir, luger lifting your name
The word-a-matician, magician,
David Blaine on your chain
Oops upside your head, we smack you oops upside your head
You wearing suits and a towel on your head
And eating soup with the noodles and eggs
Ok, new word, respeckanize my gangstaforcation and g-dentials
You scared to fire, banging your face through ya Jeep window
Get ya window shot up, in a residential area
And left, fuck a ocean and
sea-ment you
This time it's the principality, punk
You a point to prove, put the pistol back, you'se a punk
Push your shit all the way off, a producer para-loser
Yeah, pussy, that's you, chump
All that yackety yackety, your teeth, where the animals be
You get your ass beat, baddily, gradilly, P, Alkatraz
Beast Master
See all kind of red dots on ya face like bad acne
Nappy piece to be praying for ya niggas
While I'm getting my vulture on, preying on ya'll bitches
(Ruck, Rock, Ruck N Roll, get you both on this collar hydro)
Yeah that's how I got my Bronx bitch, she breakdance and
bomb trains
The fifty pop blocker, while giving me bar bread
Asking you car banger, and she go all way
She gone, go where I say, she know where ya'll stay, suckas
Yeah, ya'll niggas 'ready to die', blast the sket
And then you realize, ain't no fucking 'life after death'
Smash your chest with a fucking medicine ball
You think you nice, but I'm better than ya'll
Listen, Tommy Tee on the beat, Loudmouf is the Choir
Heltah Skeltah on they job, and you fuckas is fired
The fire supplier, forget your squad

Top Church, Reprieve

When you're gone
And no more tracks for me to run on
When you're gone
I couldn't see a way out
You show me I was wrong
When you sleep
You never know the vigil I keep
Watch you sleep
Peaceful like a Buddha
Yeah, you're miles deep
When you smile
It makes the whole damn thing worthwhile
When you smile
Reprieve is gonna come down
We'll live awhile in a while
When you're gone
No more tracks for me to run on
When you're gone
Couldn't see a way that I was wrong
When you sleep
You never know the vigil I keep
Watch you sleep
Peaceful like a Buddha
You're so deep
When you smile
It makes the whole damn thing worthwhile
When you smile
Reprieve is gonna come down a little while
Reprieve is gonna come down a little while
When you're gone
No more tracks for me to run on
When you're gone
I couldn't see a way out
You show me I was wrong
When you sleep
You never know the vigil I keep
To watch you sleep
Peaceful like a Buddha
You're miles deep
When you smile
It makes the whole damn thing worthwhile
'Cause when you smile
Reprieve is gonna come down

Top Church, No Explanation

You pull the sheets around you throat
Talking like the harpy again
I've got this heartache in my coat
Since I don't remember when
It's guaranteed to live and to bleed
And you feed it with your bitterest lies
Hope you can see what that's done to me
But I don't care to look into your eyes
There's no explanation
Dreamtongued man from the golden land
Standing with the keys to your door
I had to laugh as I shook his hand
Didn't know he'd been here before
I know him well but I never can tell
If he sees right through my futile disguise
Hope you can see what that's done to me
But I don't care to look into your eyes
There's no explanation
Walking alone down the path to your home
On a silent and sensual day
It almost could be my very own
Before I went and lost my way
Directions aren't clear when you're standing here
And you cheer me with your faithless surprise
Hope you can see what that's done to me
But I don't care to look into your eyes

Top Church, Nothing Seeker

I'm sorry if I come across as thoughtless
I'm happy if I come across at all
It's useless when the ending becomes endless
I'm early 'cause there's nowhere else to go
I hope you don't think that I'm angry
I hope you don't think that I'm wrong
I hope you don't think that I'm frightened
I hope you think that I belong
It's funny that I seem to be so careless
I'm certain that it's easy to be sure
It's always when the night has become outrageous
It's not as though we ever lived before
I hope you don't think that I'm brutal
I hope you don't think that I'm dumb
I hope you don't think that I'm different
I hope you think that I'm welcome
I'm sorry if I come across as thoughtless
I'm happy if I come across at all
It's useless when the ending becomes endless

Top Church, Anaesthesia

(Kilbey/Wilson-Piper/Koppes/Powles)
I remember going out yeah
Everything is spinning round
Remember feeling like I'd drowned
Behind the veil is a sea yeah
Only entered into chemically
Anaesthesia down so deep
Anaesthesia's numbing
Anaesthesia's coming to you
I don't know why
Seems like I'm flying
On the ground, in the air
Slow-mo don't know
I can't stop or go
Where's the show, where
I got a feeling about someone
I do not know where
So many things need fixing everywhere
Anaesthesia tells me "slow down a little more"
She says "why not sleep a little more"
And tiptoes softly to the door
Anaesthesia's numbing
Anaesthesia's coming to you
I don't know why
Seems like I'm flying
On the ground, in the air
Anaesthesia's soothing
Anaesthesia's moving with you
I don't know how
It seems like now
It seems like never to me
I remember going out yeah
Everything was spinning round
Remember feeling like I'd drowned
Anaesthesia's numbing
Anaesthesia's coming to you
I don't know why
Seems like I'm flying
On the ground, in the air
Anaesthesia's soothing
Anaesthesia's moving with me
I don't know how
It seems like now
It seems like never to me
Anaesthesia's soothing

Top Church, Already Yesterday

It's already yesterday, we're off the calendar
I heard the sirens play just like an orchestra
Mechanical bird of prey sing for your emperor
Last broken flash of love still in the camera
We don't feel those locks and chains
We won't listen to the lizard part of our brains
Giving the orders
Another morning we'll be gone
I start the car for Ten Mile Beach
And maybe Avalon, across the water
It's already yesterday and nobody's answering
Disconncted, drift away, nobody's questioning
Head silver, feet of clay, who is surrendering
They fall in our heyday, I am remembering
(Chorus)
We can't feel those aches and pains
We won't listen to the voices in the city rain
Giving the orders
Another morning I'll be gone
I start the car for Violet Town

Top Church, Sad

He never should have been in your home
You never should have left them alone
You should have recognized the ice in his eyes
And nothing would be bad enough
And no one would be glad enough
If he was thrown to the jackals and flies
Now there can be no compromise
But the Earth cannot recoil
If only the oceans would boil
If only the sky could cry black rain
If only it would never happen again
I want you to feel that baby's pain
Hate guides him, hate inside him
Hate multiplies and divides him
Suffer killing, suffocate
Suffer children, suffer hate
To never feel the daylight again
Or see the stars at night again
All the little things we take for granted
These deeds are the seeds that have been planted
Sudden adult death syndrome
He never should have been in your home
Hate guides him, hate inside him
Hate multiplies and divides him
Suffer killing, suffocate

Top Church, Sealine

The minute the sting penetrates your finger
You're strapped to the pain like an angry stranger
The moment the rain freezes in the gutter
Caught the flaming birds and their hideous matter
The second the claw lifts up your chin
I'm alone in your head and you can't get in
Somebody said that it's all for you
It's a miracle, let it alter you
But I will not follow you to the sealine
Somebody went and turned it on for you
Revelation baby, you're beautiful
But I will not follow you to the sealine
The instant the transfer hits your account
And it's deep in the black and just one way out
The morning the storm rolled to the coast
We were down to the shake and our silent throats
The evening the trees lash at the window
The roots crawl up, strangle the candles
Somebody said that it's all for you
It's a miracle, let it alter you
But I will not follow you to the sealine
Somebody went and turned it on for you
Revelation baby, you're beautiful
But I will not follow you to the sealine
To the sealine
It's a miracle, let it alter you
Revelation baby, you're beautiful

Top Church, Reward*

The waking sun on a desert plain
The polar star in the sky again
Your open eyes beam out the surprise from them
You're our reward
So unpredictable, so delectable
So undetectable, unsuspectable
You're our reward
There's nothing else after all
You're our reward
Do I still hear her laughter? Come see every laughter
Nothing still matters, the future's scattered
If it's the tactic it's just fantastic
Pure elation, simply anticipation
It's the suggestion, the eternal question
Wasn't feeling possible here and now
It is both of us after all still
Waiting and wanting not knowing what for
The meaning we're standing outside the door
Of everyday living, always the feeling was more
You're our reward
So unpredictable, so delectable
So undetectable, unsuspectable
You're our reward
You're our reward, I still hear her laughter
You're our reward, nothing else matters
You're our reward, if it's the tactic
You're our reward, pure elation
You're our reward, it's the suggestion
You're our reward of the eternal question
Do I still hear her laughter?
Nothing else matters, the future's scattered
If it's the tactic it's just fantastic
Pure elation, anticipation
It's the suggestion to know the eternal question
To know the eternal question
To know the eternal question
To know the eternal question
To know the eternal question

Top Church, Ancient History

Sometimes I wonder how I got mixed up with you
You just cannot comprehend the things that I do
The truth is so fragile, the ties are so true
Lying in the nettles where the blossoms once grew
So now you're asking what is this mystery
And all these questions, ancient history
Sometimes I wonder what is left to be said
If I'm consumed and fading will the children be fed?
The roof is always creaking, the stone has been bled
You say I'm just existing and you leave me for dead
Sometimes I can see your love is a sled
Sliding down the slopes that will lead to your bed
Some of us are white, some of us are red
Some have got these visions going 'round in our heads
As you go just blow a kiss to me
And as it falls, ancient history
Sometimes a joke can get out of hand
Laughing like a conqueror in a new land
Convinced down to his buttons this was how it was planned
Turns his back on ruins, that was nothing but sand
Crossing your Alps the ice and cold blister me

Top Church, Buffalo

Snow came up Friday, I gotta go
Spending winter up in Buffalo
Someone I met there is calling me so
Got to escape the blues man, don't you know
Days of sinking summer packed up and gone
Nothing helps me, there's nothing wrong
It was so pleasant, incandescent, it's over now
We should get going
Lady I know there, name of Christina
Six lonely lifetimes since I've seen her
She takes you places your heart cannot go
During the winter up in Buffalo
Days by her fire, dazed in the glow
Winter surrounds us up in Buffalo
Days of drowsy pleasure in the afternoon dark
We drift together, we drift apart
She's got the wherewithal, she's got the knowledge
It's wonderful
I should be going
Out there the Snow Queen is kidnapping boys
Her block-of-ice heart tunes out the noise
And soft in the bedroom her eyes indigo
Sleeping in the winter in Buffalo

Top Church, Blood Money

Blind with dollars,
Bought and sold.
And you pay for everything in cold, hard cash.
Better read through the fine print, you sift through the ash.
In the hand, blood money.
In the sand, blood money.
She's worth the ransom.
He says, "Do you accept my card,
Or can I pay for it now in cold, hard cash?"
I'm priceless, you're worthless, but it's not a bad match.
And I know you understand, it's blood money.
There's such a big demand, for blood money.
A hundred and fifty grand, blood money.
It's flowing under the land, like blood money.
He's worth the ransom.
She says, "Why can't you get hot?"
Because you pay for this now in cold, hard cash.
You make the front page, I'm gonna bring back the lash.
Then I know you'll understand, it's blood money.
There's duch a big demand, for blood money.
A hundred and fifty grand, blood money.

Top Church, Autumn Soon

The puppetmaster understands the need
The jury needs to feel the greed
And seeds revolve and grow and bleed
The underlife tick tocks
Pushing through my safe ideas
Goodbye heroica you overdosed on years
I ask you for a midnight, you give me a high noon
When winter puts her hands on you
It must be autumn soon
Whatever happened to the leaves that used to fall
Where's the candle I left spluttering in the hall
What's the meaning of the siren's call
I blame it on you all
The underlife tick tocks
And chimes away between
Goodbye heroica, you're not needed for this scene
The flaming dying sunset has collapsed like a balloon
When winter puts her hands on you
It must be autumn soon
I thought I heard her voice upon the tide
It was only the shells and stones that sighed
Old Neptune tosses in the deep and scalds his mermaid bride
And you know, I really tried
The underlife tick tocks
And changes into ash
Goodbye heroica we only accept a cache
I'm here to give you everything, do I have to stoop or croon
When winter puts her hands on you

Top Church, As You Will

You wake up late day is still dawning
You get out on the road
You meet up with a man his face is well worn in
He's carrying a load
On the way to paradise
Summer rain falls, so you head for some shelter
Close to a wall
See a lady dressed in chance you try to help her
She heeds your call
On the way to paradise
Ornamental or warm and gentle
On the way to paradise asyou will someday
You find a hidden door that leads to a garden
And venture through
Sunshines bright a witness to pardon
The world that you knew
On the way to paradise
All is well on the distant horizon
It's there in wait
Get so close, you grow so much wiser
But wake up late
On the way to paradise
Ornamental or warm and gentle
Can you tell heaven from hell
