"New Skin"

"New Skin"


Fuck you, I win this prize
Stardom pardons the lies
The miles, the minutes passing by
My window

(Yeah Yeah Yeah)
Rising up through the ashes and grime
A new me on the other side
Hello, Hello, I'm breaking through
This old skin

(Woo-oo woo woo, woo-oo woo woo)
Hello, Hello, I'm coming through my new skin

(Yeah yeah yeah)
So take the dips with the tricks
Gimme shimmy shimmy hip shake
Hello, Hello, let's kick out the trash of (anybody got a guess?)

(Woo-oo, woo woo, woo-oo, woo woo)
Hello, Hello, I'm coming in my new skin

....

(Yeah yeah yeah)
Fuck you, I win this prize
Stardom pardons the lies
The miles, the minutes pissing by
My window

(Woo-oo, woo woo, woo-oo, woo woo)
Hello, Hello, I'm coming in my new skin
Hello, Hello, I'm hungry for some new skin
Hello, it's me, I'm coming for you in my new skin

Hey, hey, let's kick out the trash
Hey, hey, let's kick out the trash
Hey, hey, let's kick out the trash...

"Nicotine Stain"

"Nicotine Stain"


It's just a habit
When I reach to the packet
For my last cigarette
Until the day breaks
And then my hand shakes
But it it's just driving me insane
When the smoke gets in my brain
I can't resist it

Wallow in that ash bath
Soaking up the fumes
And see the nicotine stain
Start to spread

I'm so congested
Cos north, south, east and west
Catarrh rests on my chest
Congealed and twisted
Cough up and shift it
But I can feel my lungs collapse
Sinking deep into my lap
I'm so useless

Wallow in that ash bath
Soaking up the fumes
And see the nicotine stain
Start to spread

I'm so useful
If you don't want to fight
Just give your foe a fright
Say you'll drop me
On every country
See all will be stone dead
When the nicotine stain spreads
Just light me

Wallow in that ash bath
Soaking up the fumes
And see the nicotine stain
Start to spread

"Night Shift"

"Night Shift"


Only at night time I see you
In darkness I feel you
A bride by my side -- I'm inside many brides
Sometimes I wonder...
What goes on in your mind, always silent and kind
Unlike the others...
Fuck the mothers kill the others
Fuck the others kill the mothers
I'll put it out of my mind because...
I'm out of my mind with you
In heaven and hell with you...

My Night Shift sisters
Await your nightly visitor
They don't bother me
No they don't bother me

The cold marble slab submits at my feet
With a neat dissection...
Looking so sweet to me -- please come to me
With your cold flesh -- my cold love
Hissing -- not kissing
A happy go lucky chap -- always dressed in black
He'll come to you, he'll come to you

My Night Shift sisters
With your nightly visitor
A new vocation in life
My love with a knife

Fuck the mothers kill the others
Fuck the others kill the mothers
I'll put it out of my mind because...
I'm out of my mind with you
In heaven and hell with you...

"Not Forgotten"

"Not Forgotten"


You buried it so deep
So safe in hidden sleep
But like a tell-tale corpse
Rises to the surface
Over-ripe and bloated
In naked time-lapsed truth
Thought it was lost forever
Remember this

How long has it been
Or have you forgotten
When you first forgot?
Now resurrection the phoenix
Aflame with pride and conceit
Remembers this

Wind blown trees outside
Applauding like the ocean
To the cacophony inside
The waves come rushing in
A crashing whispering
Drowning they drink me

Ah not forgotten
This is not forgotten
Remember this

"O Baby"

"O Baby"


The cracks in the ground grin up at me
Even the creases in my shoes smile up at me
Thought it would end in tragedy
But I'm swimming around in your glory

O baby
O maybe
I'm the lost and found

Look at the stars they're raining down
Even these jewels want to kiss your crown
Don't be afraid it's just your face
Has that effect on heavens' treasure case

O baby
O maybe
You're a paragon

I haven't felt this way before
Impossible to ask for more
Unanswered prayers that went before
Lie like leaves upon the floor

Hang all the world and universe
When I'm with you they always seem perverse
I'm in a state of weightlessness
When I inhale your angel breath

O baby
O maybe
I'm the lost and found

"Obsession"

"Obsession"


Do you hear this breath?
It's an obsessive breath
Can you feel this beat?
It's an obsessive heartbeat
Waiting to be joined with its obsession

I close my eyes
But I can't sleep
The thin membrane can't veil
The branded picture of you
The signs and signals show
The traffic lights say go
Again you baffle me
Pretending not to see, oh
Me

I broke into your room
I broke down in my room
Touched your belongings there
And left a lock of my hair
Another sign for you

You screamed into my face
Get the hell out of my place
Another sign for me?
Can you forgive me?
For not understanding your ways

You know sometimes
You take it all too far
Then I remember
It's a game between you and me
A divine test for us two
It's all in my imagination
Yes, they even say that our mission
Is only
My obsession

Do you hear this breath?
It's an oppressive breath
Suffocating in the poison
Of your obsession
Can you feel this beat?
It's a possessive beat
Your pulse stops in the claws
Of your obsession

"Ornaments Of Gold"

"Ornaments Of Gold"


Silver couches to recline upon
And ornaments of gold
Silver moonbeams dance in fountains
Below shining citadels
Surrounded by silver gates ascending silver stairs
Eureka on angelic prayer wafts in and scents the air
With ornaments of gold
To warm my soul from the growing cold
Ornaments of gold

We can drink from silver vessels
We can feed from silver bowls
Then I'll give you gilded treasures
Annointed by intoxicating oils
Drenched in riches unimaginable
Your splendour drips with jewels that are so beautiful

And ornaments of gold
Warm my soul from the growing cold

Adorable rewardable you
From head to toe I'd love to cover you
And smother you in ornaments of gold

In honeydew I'd love to cover you
Oh lover do bring

Ornaments of gold
Protect our hearts from this cruel world
Ornaments of gold

"Overground"

"Overground"


Got to give up life in this netherworld
Got to go up to where the air is stale
And live a life of pleasantries
Mingle in the modern families

Overground--from abnormality
Overboard--for identity
Overground--for normality
Overboard--for identity

This limbo is no place
To be a digit in another space
In another crowd
I'm nameless bound

Overground--from abnormality
Overboard--for identity
Overground--for normality
Overboard--for identity

Overground--I'll be worse than me
Overground--it's clear to me
I'll be worse than me

"Painted Bird"

"Painted Bird"


On lead-poisoned wings -- you try to sing
Freak beak shrieks are thrown -- at your confusing hue
The peacock screaming eyes -- show no mercy no mercy

Painted bird -- it's absurd
Just a tainted bird -- hurting their twisted nerve

The flock will make you choke -- on this sadistic joke
And the whippoorwills -- they make a din
In laughing unison -- you're hitchcock carrion
In laughing unison -- you're hitchcock carrion
Carry on

Painted bird -- it's absurd
Just a tainted bird -- hurting their twisted nerve

I hear your sorrow -- maybe tomorrow
You'll lose your sorrow
When a fated weather will cleanse away
That painted feather -- and all that sorrow

A coquette in fur purr for the painted bird
Confound that dowdy flock -- with a sharp-honed nerve
Because we're painted birds by our own design
By our own design
And there's no more sorrow

Have you heard -- about the painted bird
Just a tainted bird -- hurting their twisted nerve
We've lost our sorrow -- now it's tomorrow
No need to hide your feather until a fated weather
No more sorrow...
Now we're painted birds -- mocking that twisted nerve

It's absurd...

"Paradise Place"

"Paradise Place"


Look to the hills -- now look at my face
Do you notice my eyes -- are they in the right place?

There's a Mantovani backdrop -- to pucker-up a tummy tuck
A voice soft as lint -- mashed up with shades of pink

You can hide your genetics under drastic cosmetics
But this chameleon magic is renowned to be tragic

Look to the hills -- now look at my face
Do you notice my eyes -- are they in the right place?
