"Cascade"

"Cascade"


Oh the Air was shining
Shining like a wedding ring
Barbed like sex
I felt 10,000 volts
My chest was full of eels
Pushing through my usual skin
I opened up new wounds
Pouting
Shouting

Oh, Love
Like liquid falling
Falling
In cascades
Oh, lovelorn victims
Laughing in cascades

The Sun was rich
Rich with a song of sin
My breath melted my words
Into strange alphabets
Tormenting my tongue
Pouting
Shouting

Oh, Love
Like liquid falling
Falling
In cascades
Oh, lovelorn victims
Laughing in cascades

The heartbeats were echoing
Echoing
The revolver
Emptying
Into my mouth
I pulled a face
From my pocket
And smiled
A Leper's grin
I felt somebody close
Pouting
Shouting

Oh, Love
Like liquid falling
Falling
In cascades
Oh, lovelorn victims
Laughing
In cascades

"Christine"

"Christine"


She tries not to shatter, Kaleidoscope style
Personality changes behind her red smile
Every new problem brings a stranger inside
Helplessly forcing one more new disguise

Christine - the strawberry girl
Christine - banana split lady

Singing sweet savages lost in our world
This big-eyed girl sees her faces unfurl
Now she's in purple now she's a turtle
Disintegrating

Christine - the strawberry girl
Christine - sees her faces unfurl

Now she's in purple, now she's a turtle

Christine [2x]

Christine - the strawberry girl
Christine - sees her faces unfurl

Christine [4x]

22 faces'
Disintegrating

Christine [2x]

Disintegrating

"Circle"

"Circle"


Pretty girl of 16
Has fun and runs crazy
Ruined girl of 16
Now a mother, grows lazy
Next a 16-year old baby
Like mother, grows lazy

And her stomach is churning
Whilst her eyes keep on turning
Round and around
Getting no higher
From the ground
Round and around
Round and around
The circle has an empty sound

Father inflicts discipline
Boy rebels against him
He leaves for the big town
For love and adventure
But the words he first heard
Unlike his instincts, run deeper

Now boy beats his children
If they disobey him
And the cat riddled with worms
Chases his tail round
And around

Round and around
Getting no higher
From the ground
Round and around
Round and around

The circle has an empty sound
The endless full circle
For the next in line
The endless full circle

Take the red line
The green line
The silver or blue
Any line you can think of
Except for the yellow
Take a trip with your family
And see where they go
Give them a free ticket
It's the best thing to do

And if you wind up on the circle line
Hell, it's not from lack of options
Then if you run into the yellow
Well, that's up to you

Round and around
Getting no higher
From the ground
Round and around
The circle has an empty sound
The endless full circle
For the next in line
The endless full circle
Are you the next in line?
Round and around

"Cities In Dust"

"Cities In Dust"


Water was running, children were running
You were running out of time
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Were you praying at the Lares' shrine?
But oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
But oh, your city lies in dust, my friend

We found you hiding, we found you lying
Choking on the dirt and sand
Your former glories and all the stories
Dragged and washed with eager hands
But oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
But oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Your city lies in dust

Water was running, children were running
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Water was running, children were running
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Your city lies in dust, my friend
But oh, your city lies in dust, my friend

Hot and burning in your nostrils
Pouring down your gaping mouth
Your molten bodies, blanket of cinders
Caught in the throes
And oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Your city lies in dust, my friend
Oh, your city lies in dust, my friend...

"Cities In Dust (Extended Version)"


Water was running, children were running
You were running out of time
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Were you praying at the Lares shrine?
But oh your city lies in dust, my friend

We found you hiding -- we found you lying
Choking on the dirt and sand
Your former glories and all the stories
Dragged and washed with eager hands
But oh your city lies in dust, my friend

Hot and burning -- in your nostrils
Pouring down your gaping mouth
Your molten bodies -- blanket of cinders
Caught in the throes...
And oh your city lies in dust

"Coal Mind"

"Coal Mind"


Two black holes staring
From deep in the coal mind
Murder in mind-murder deep in the coal mind
Aphids and triffids bump mad into earwigs
Eating their way-through the green brain vegetation

Mutter mutter eyelids wonder
Twitching in time to troubled slumber

Come mind this coal mine
Come mine this coal mind
It's dark in here and it's been a long time
In need of ignition
In need of nutrition

There's famine in mind
There's murder in mind
Blank sockets squinting from the hot coals
Scorching
More holes in the coal mind
The pit is imploding
Headlines and hooklines bump
Blind into lifelines
Murder in mind- someone throw him a line

O, Madonna medusa
I spy a loser
Madonna medusa
I spy a loser

Ignition nutrition and now ventilation
A sigh of relief from deep in the coal mind
Sun blew his roof off-stopped murder in mind

O, Madonna medusa
I spy a loser

Madonna medusa
I spy...

"Cocoon"

"Cocoon"


Here in my cot -- where my cot loves me
I'll stay here a while -- in the cotton wool cocoon
'Til the chrysalis is ripe -- 'til the time is right
With this feeling of insecurity
I have to shrink back inside -- run and hide

Back in the cocoon -- hugging my knees
Watching my insides -- the skinned glow-worm writhings
Lying in blankets -- I've been here a while
Tapping out rhythms -- against the mattress and wall

The heat melts the sheets -- another layer is peeled
Tapping out rhythms...
Just my cot, the wallpaper and me
I've been here awhile -- tapping out rhythms

Still finding charms in the memory of those constrictor arms
Glowing in the dark in my luminous green
A pearl beaded lizard -- bathed in a gossamer scent
With my heat detector lip-pit -- pulling at the newly formed tissue
Lying in blankets -- I've been here awhile
Tapping out rhythms... against the mattress and wall

Waiting... to loose the bandages
Waiting for new appendages
Lying in blankets -- I've been here a while
I've been here too long -- banging out rhythms
Listen for other tappings...
Banging out rhythms
Back in the cocoon

"Congo Conga"

"Congo Conga"


Six foot high in the sky
Jive and jibe the Watutsi tribe

Watch the conga eel push,
Squeeze in deadly steel
His next Congo meal

Carramba, carramba, to the Congo Conga
We can do the can-can to the Congo Conga

Bow down to the Mau Mau
Whilst humming the Congo Conga
Now we say "meow!" to the nasty Mau Mau

Deep in the heart of this quagmire
Dance the Congo Conga
Vipers of Zaire
Raised heads and shook their fears

Carramba, carramba, to the Congo Conga
We can do the can-can to the Congo Conga

Six foot high in the sky
Jive and jibe the Watutsi tribe
Please don't cry Watutsi tribe
You're still high up in the sky!

We can do the can-can
to the Congo Conga

"Cry"

"Cry"


Cry for the bird with broken wing
Cry for the world that will not spin
Cry for the loss of innocence
Cry for a love, turned loveless

Sometimes I think of you, when I'm alone

Oh no Cry...

Nothing will ever be the same
All is ruined and put to shame
Tears and stars are one and the same
When I look up through my focused lens

But sometimes I think of you, when I'm alone

Oh no Cry... tears and stars confide, collide then die
Deep inside tears run dry, but I cry and cry.

Tiger skins and elephant tusks
In guilted mountains seep disgust
I look at you and I want to speak
For once in a while be a man and weep
'Cos all the dolphins and whales have gone
All good tidings and hopes have blown
All our nightmares are flying home
And it's too late to do anything but...

Cry...
Tears and stars collide, confide then die
Deep inside tears run dry, but I cry and cry
Cry...
