"Dancing On Glass"

"Dancing On Glass"


With your mouth around the bottle-then you smash it on the hearth reach out for another one-
don't look back on the past a chair through the window-then through the looking glass the crystal spli
Shimmer-bathe the pavement in moondust

Laughing in the crimson rain-we feel no pain with shards in out soles
we'll dance again and again oh again and again amidst the laughter and the crimson rain

With your mouth around the bottle-then you smash it on the hearth forget tomorrow's mess-
because right now is the best... I guess we're dancing on glass...

"Dazzle"

"Dazzle"


The stars that shine and the stars that shrink
In the face of stagnation the water runs
Before your eyes...

Swallowing diamonds
A cutting throat
Your teeth when you grin
Reflecting beams on tombstones

A jamboree of surprises
Playing Russian roulette
Or the Lucky Dip
A clenched fist to your heart
Coal dust on your lungs

A silver tongue for the chosen one
Heavy magnum in your side or a bloody thorn
Skating bullets on angel dust
In a dead sea of fluid mercury
Baby piano cries
Under your heavy index & thumb
Pull some strings -- let them sing

The stars that shine and the stars that shrink
In the face of stagnation the water runs
Before your eyes...
Dazzle -- It's a glittering prize
Before your eyes...
It's a glittering prize...

"Dear Prudence"
(originally by The Beatles)



Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful, and so are you
Dear Prudence, won't you come out and play

Dear Prudence, open up your eyes
Dear Prudence, see the sunny skies
The wind is low, the birds will sing
That you are part of everything
Dear Prudence, won't you open up your eyes?

Look around
Look around
Look around
Look around

Dear Prudence, let me see you smile
Dear Prudence, like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
Dear Prudence, won't you let me see you smile?

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful, and so are you
Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play

Look around round round round round
Look around round round round round
Look around round round round round
Oh, look around, look around

Look around round round round round
Look around round round round round
Look around around
Oh, Look around around

Look around round round round round
Look around round round round round
...

"Desert Kisses"

"Desert Kisses"


Desert kisses in the sand
Engulfing joints, engulfing land
Tidal fingers cling to rocks
A deadly grip, a deadly lock

Cursed and pissed into the ocean
Willfully caused a great commotion
But only for a stifled moment
Then it was back to still life motion

A sideways crawl, a sideways scrawl
The cancer crab is on us all
I kissed your face, I kissed the sand
I heard you sigh, there was no sound

Thrashed and spat back at the ocean
But there was nothing, no commotion
Just my lonely, stupid notions
Trapped again in still life motion

Sinking down -- with just my sound
Sinking down -- running on the moving ground
Sinking down
Sinking down -- without a sound
Sinking down -- sleeping on the moving ground
Sinking down

Desert kisses in the sand
Engulfing joints, engulfing land
Tidal fingers cling to rock
A deadly grip, a deadly lock

Sinking down -- the world is round
Sinking down -- there's no-one around
Standing on the moving ground
Sinking down -- the world is flat
There's no-one here to question that
Sinking down -- without a sound
Sinking down
Sinking down -- the world was round
There was no-one around
Sinking down...

"Dizzy"

"Dizzy"


Dizzy - oh dizzy

Scorpio rising on the horizon
Thunder tumbling from the mountains
Harpy sirens strangle silence
A piece of mind - left dying

Dizzy - oh dizzy

Below their waves, below their grace
Your hair is gorgeous
Dancing harmonic, dancing hypnotic
Left dying

Dizzy - oh dizzy
[repeat]

"Double Life"

"Double Life"


At the top of the stairs is a locked room
My secret chamber that no outsider views
For entry is forbidden prohibited
Behind this door is my other self

Not a picture in a frame nor a fresh disguise
But my other self, immobile inert and sanguine
My narcissus kisses exhale crimson breath
And pump ruby to the lip

I stand before myself not Jekyll nor Hyde
Not sibling nor twin separated at birth
I stand before myself unaccountable

I dreamt that I had feet of clay
I dreamt I crossed the seven seas
And when I woke not knowing
I knew I led the double life

All I ever needed is twice removed
I spit my bile in an airless temper
In this vacuum a vampire reversed
This one who breathes life into me

And even dull mirrors reflect the tarnished twosome
I stand before myself not another me
Not doppelganger nor witless clone
I stand before myself unrepentant

I dreamt of sin and aftermath
I dreamt of centuries laid bare
And when I woke not knowing
I knew I led the double life

"Drifter"

"Drifter"


Drifter -- sleepwalk
Drifter -- sleeptalk
Awake to who is following

Moving -- like water
Moving -- drifting on the wind
A drifter coming in
Then I dreamt that I awoke
And all around was asleep
With eyes in the back of my head
Awake to who is following

...Drifter coming in
Never touching down -- never leaving ground
A twilight world in which we roam
Still we don't belong -- drift on

At daybreak -- we walk
At daybreak -- we talk
Ready to tear up the world

Drifter -- sleepwalk
Drifter -- sleeptalk
Your everywhere is home
Yet you never take hold
Wanting to live everywhere
Not wanting to live anywhere
A twilight world in which you roam
Still you won't belong -- drift on

"Drop Dead / Celebration"

"Drop Dead / Celebration"


I Hate You I Hate You I Hate You I Hate You...
Drop dead-
You stinking little creep
Drop dead-
With your emotions so cheap
Your poisoned mind-
It's disgusting everyone
We don't care if you vanish in thin air!
Drop dead-
It's a dead drop
You're a dead loss
Drop dead

You should be pushed down-
Down into the ground amongst the worms-
And other spineless things
Don't you see you're embarrassing to me
I can't stand that phony way you banter!
Drop dead-
It's a dead drop
You're a dead loss
Drop dead

You're so pathetic-
An insipid, dried up slug
Keep your mouth shut you impotent little slut
I'm so ashamed to be connected with your name
You're so lame-
I wish you'd never been to blame
Drop dead-
It's a dead drop
You're a dead loss
Drop dead

Those words-
Tight-lipped and mealy-mouthed
It wasn't hard to realise that they were lies
Judging from the flies you've attracted from the skies
So just get lost-
Fuck Off!
And disappear into the compost!
Drop dead-
Stinking little creep drop dead!
Drop dead!!

Celebration...

"El Día De Los Muertos"

"El Día De Los Muertos"


I hear you say
It's All Souls day
And you've come to play
For the lost ones
The unadorned ones
Here today

El Dia de Los Muertos
El Dia de Los Muertos
Bailamos, El Xantolo!

Kiss the bride
Dance with me
Come rattle these bones
Come and shake my tree
Embrace me irreverently
Now with marigolds
Shower me!

There is more time than life
One never dies twice
There is more time than life
One never dies twice

Wearing quetzal plumes
Through eight underworlds
Death comes shining
A thousand bright colours
And music out of this world
Serenades to bony twirl!

Me lleva el diablo
La muerte va de viaje
Esta es musica del otro mundo
Buenos noches y adios
Hasta luego mi amigos
See you in heaven or
See you in hell
All will be leveled
All will be well
Bailamos, El Xantolo!

Me lleva el diablo
La muerte va de viaje
Esta es musica
Del otro mundo

"Eve White / Eve Black"

"Eve White / Eve Black"


It hurts
There's a pain in my head
I wish it would stop
But it never stops

I can feel it coming
I'm getting weaker
Please help me
I'm getting weaker
I'm getting weaker
Please help me
I wish I could help myself

Let me out of here
I belong out there
Son of a bitch, son of a bitch
Let me out of here
I belong out there

Never say die
I must never die
Let me out of here
I belong out there

You son of a bitch
I'll pull your hair
Let me out of here
I belong out there

You son of a bitch
I'll pull your hair
Never say die
Never say die, I must, I must never die

Let me out of here
I belong out there
Son of a bitch
