1.A Ship Named Despair
Stowaway, starless
Washed down by an uncaring tide
Thrown away heartlessly
Crossed out for snaring a ride
On a ship named despair
I shoot flares in the night
But nobody's there...
I don't care
I've no conscience
My memory died
On the day I looked into your faraway eyes...
2.Circles In The Sand
Dehydrated
Slightly decomposed
A wishing stone thrown hopeless to a mirage
Liquid blue just like your dying eyes
I sympathise
I carry you
We are making circles in the sand...
3.Empathy With The Devil
My flavor is the stuff of locusts. Hot chili firebrand spitting
volcano
teeth. Bleeding skies, sulpher mines... The foul breath of
Satan's favorite
gutter worm. You feel me when I'm close - an ice wind of steel
stilettos
hammered in your spine. Quicksilver nausea spinning, spewing
forth and
everything's a mess. every posession you ever had - wrecked -
lying at your
feet. Telegrams that tell you God is dead piled high on the TV.
The
incessant TV. Burbling. Distorted. A cheesecake nun advertising
20 brands
of sea cow lemon shit in 60 different languages. A gargoyle
handjives for
the hard of hearing. Subliminals. Criminals. Phoney buisinessmen
in thick
rimmed glasses. Bad comedians. Laughing bags aping the
Hallelujah chorus -
the forgotton version - out of key (slightly). Just enough to
annoy you.
My flavor is cheap perfume on rotting Man-Ray maggots! Dead
maggots. My
flavor's a wound re-opening by surprise, green fishes eyes
flowing out.
Wriggling things. Gelatinous. Still alive and screaming - out of
key
(slightly). Just enough to annoy you. My flavor's a plunging
elevator a
millisecond before it hits the cellar. A cellar with mutated
rats. Old -
very old - lost teeth. Abortions. Garbage. So pungent it hums -
out of
key (slightly). Just enough to annoy you. My flavor's your
flavor. Deep
within you. Hidden. Waiting to get out...
4.Hyperform
Snakebite spitting spiders eyes
They swallowed up the night
Cried 'meltdown zero marsh of lava'
Had supersonic sight
And barriers of you and me piled 1500 high
Stacked here to here in smoking cans
We blackened out the sky
King met king we heard the bell
They kicked away the board
Flew headfirst into bunkers
Then they started out once more
And you and me were born again
As iron-plated pawns
We scorched our way through libraries
We shredded all the lawns
Til everything was rust and powder
Every stone was turned
And random programs re-arranged the areas to burn
The enemy's years ahead
He's tapped into the phone
He hides beneath the furniture
Knows all the special codes
The enemy's our destiny
He's pulling on the cord
He spits a line I spastic dive
And sell him his reward
I perform.
5.Isis Veiled
They're closing in, I switched the pictures
Painted all the walls
I hung the medals, hid the magazines
As caped crusaders crawled down freedom street
Guns of liberation ushered in the dawn
One guy wears an eyepatch while the other wears a tie
One will play the liberator the other run and hide
I hear the cannons crack a mile down freedom street
Out of sight, out of mind
The ninth wave claimed a thousand while another thousand fled
I'm getting low on beans and marmalade
I share my bed with locust girl she flies
Through the cracks across my head
She is always on my side
She's always on my side
I am always on your side
I'm always on your side
We're all on your side
There, there now...
6.Last Post
I'd like to think of angels
We discussed a happy end
A place with lemon slices
On a shore with violins
Five star waiters
Crates of kill cow wine on a night of steaming sin
It's out there, somewhere
I would bet your missing shoe
And my geiger counter too
Wishing you
7.Love Notes And Carnations
I sit and watch your silhouette
I wonder what you're doing
Who you're with
If you're thinking of me now
Was I just a passing phase
Did we ever really share
Did we just soliloquize
Was I ever really there
If I leave this sheltered space
Will anything be there
Will anything be there
Disinfected disconnected
Waiting in my cage for you to call
Am I living in a cage
With all the comforts I've created
When I want you here
All you do is close the blinds
And leave me crying to a shadow
Locked behind the glass
That shuts me out
That cuts me down
Memories are fading
Surely something slowly burns
Don't you yearn for just a replay for a day？
Disinfected disconnected
Waiting in my cage for you to call
8.Romulus And Venus
everything you gave me lies within a trunk, within a drawer
I burned one hundred photographs or more
I fled across the ocean wioth another face, another name
Nothing but my soul remained the same
But still you came with cases I was forced to let you stay
You bought the locks, the box in which I lay
I tried to get away from you
I tried to make a break
You always see right through me, there's no escape
I can still remember you with coronets, white horses
I would run behind you'd flash a sign I'd dive
Just to serve you
Night time's turned the lady to a girl again, you'd slip away
You tried to kiss my tears away, pretend there was no day to
take me down
Nightshade, blades, Niagra falls - I tried them all six times
You would always run behind me
And you'd find me
Keep me on a leash, on a line
I'm uncomfortably resigned
There's no release till you untie me
Deny me
9.The Running Man
Me - I have my cross to bear
It's twisted flying through the air
The voices that I hear are muffled
There's no-one left but me to share their secrets
I fix my eyes upon the dials
And run through the uncharted miles
Of nothing. I chase my tail I'm chasing trails
Of hollow promises
And it's lonely here.
I'm kept alive (somehow)
I stay tranquilized
I leave - I never quite arrive
Your precious smile is fading.
I'd love to think that there's an end
Right around the bend
But every turn's a tunnel.
I descend.
I'm the running man...
10.Turn Me On Dead Man
I snared you in a photograph
I trapped you on a wire
I amplified you magnified you
1500 times
You strode across the ocean
And you smiled to careful drivers
Swooping low
You'd just say no
And though you never showed
I know you're still alive
Turn me on, my dead man
Give me a little sign
Turn me on dead man
Give me another line
I still watch all your videos
My bedroom is your shrine
On friday all the guys will get toghther
In the ghettos, in the pits
Howling elipso fits
I swing my hips
I mime
Yes I can feel your kick inside
When you feel the time is right
Will you rejoin me as a king
With medallions of rings
And stairway things
That lead from heaven
Will you give me back my innocence
And paint the black sky blue
Just like your shoes
I'll keep my distance, my respect
You choose the hour, I'll be there
11.White Coats And Haloes
Watch your step!
They're all out spying.
Catch your breath
They crawl like lions
I'm flying
I'm flying
I'm diving
Peacemeal
Preservative-free
No artificial coloring
No fleas
No flesh
No trash
No cans of cancer
Tropical disease
I'm clean
Take a bite
I'm tasting amber
Strike a light
I leave DEcember
