"Hybrid"

"Hybrid"

It's a hybrid of me -- I'm a hybrid of he
You're a misfit of me -- I'm a misfit of you... in limbo

Carbon copies run blue -- a reminder for you
But they're only skin deep crumpled shells in a heap
Marked "cheap"

Surrogate heads of a no-no domain
Shoulders form rows to make waves again
Catch the next plane
When you walked through the door marked "enter if you dare"
Reasoned with a friend marked "do not bend"
Bit on that finger marked "handle with care"

A tear soiled your cheek -- a broken finger on the floor
A mess in sawdust -- a shop window burst... no repairs

It's a hybrid of me -- I'm a hybrid of he
You're a misfit for me -- I'm a misfit for you
In limbo... do you speak the lingo?

"I Could Be Again"

"I Could Be Again"

Through glowing gloom, I see the flicker of treason
Dancing on the picture of what might have been
This minute will last a day, these days will last for years
And those years that take ten lifetimes to pass without a reason

To be again
I could be again
To be again
I could be again

Rising up. the notion of rejuvenation
Oh yes, I could be again
I could be again
Rising up, I could be again

Taking form, a complete transformation
Just us, the cameras, and those wonderful people out there in the dark
This minute will last a day, these days will last a year
And those years that take ten lifetimes, I won't let you disappear

To be again
I could be again
To be again
I could be again

In the dark
From such a tiny spark
It's me again
I could be again

I could be again
I could be again
I could be again
It's me again
I could be again
I could be again

"I Promise"

"I Promise"

When a samurai cries it's like an unloved child
And when a sad child sighs you can hear the sound of
lovers cry - lovers cry

Wait until the dark for the night dog's bark
Where the ravens beat their wings on broken promises -
on broken promises

I promise

When a promise lies it's like a friend that dies
When a flame has died all you can do is sigh
Oh sigh sigh oh sigh sigh

And when the samurais die oh loveless child
And the nightingale sighs at the saddened
blackened sky
you will hear the sound of lovers cry
On broken promises

I promise

"Ice House"

"Ice House"

The ice house preserves
With incestuous flowers
Their nightly perfume overpowers me
The stamens kiss
Entwined devouring
The heart will melt whilst the ice remains

Erogenous touch-of brother and sister
The ice retains life-no offspring to bear phallic flower etched into my memory
A feline form on a frosted pane

Not ashes to ashes
Not dust to dust
A beckoning bouquet
Of blossoming lust

Oh will you stay-until this moment's complete?
oh let me freeze you-with this fragrance so sweet we shall not slither and wither away
The door will lock shut-when the ice names the day

"Icon"

"Icon"

My eyes went up to Heaven
You didn't say I'd be blind
Without them

Icons -- feed the fires
Icons -- falling from the spires

Thine eyes rain down from Heaven
You always said I'd be blind
Without them

Icons -- feed the fires
Icons -- falling from the spires

Those words hang like vicious spittle
Dribbling from that tongue
Close your eyes to your lies
Force feed more pious meat

Those nebulous codes and disciplines
Stick in that new born throat
Instill a lie -- an artificial eye
To view a perfect land

Icons -- feed the fires
Icons -- falling from the spires

Can I? -- stick skewers in my skin
And whirl a dervish spin
Can I? -- set myself on fire
To prove some kind of desire

Icons -- feed the fires
Icons -- falling from the spires

The guilt is golden
The guilt is golden
Those ageless lies
The shuttered eyes
It's the nightpiece
It's the Icon

"Il Est Né, Le Divin Enfant"

"Il Est Né, Le Divin Enfant"

Il est né le divin enfant,
Jouez hautbois, résonnez musette.
Il est né le divin enfant,
Chantons tous son avènement.
Depuis plus de quatre mille ans
Nous le promettaient les prophètes,
Depuis plus de quatre mille ans
Nous attendions cet heureux temps.
Une étable est son logement,
Un peu de paille est sa couchette,
Une étable est son logement,
Pour un dieu quel abaissement.
O Jésus, ô roi tout puissant,
Tout petit enfant que vous êtes,
O Jésus, ô roi tout puissant,
Régnez sur nous entièrement

"Interlude"
(with Morrissey)

"Interlude"
(with Morrissey)

Time is like a dream
Now, for a time, you are mine
Let's hold fast to the dream
That tastes and sparkles like wine

Who knows if it's real
Or just something we're both dreaming of
What seems like an interlude now
Could be the beginning of love

Loving you, is the world that's strange
So much more than my heart can hold
Loving you makes the whole world change
Loving you, I could not grow old

No-nobody knows when love will end
So 'til then, sweet fiend
Time is like a dream
And now, for a time, you are mine
Let's hold fast to the dream
That tastes and sparkles like

"Into The Light"

"Into The Light"

Into the line
I see it fine
Into the line
Our hearts entwine
Remember when
Your time again
Remember when
Your time again

Standing in the light
Always sitting on the line
Never on a side
Always wanting to be right
Standing in the light
I never wanted to be right
Now I'm attracted by the light
And blinded by the sight
Into the light...

Into the light
I see it fight
Into the light
A new horizon
Bleached into white
Kept out of sight
Bleached into white
Kept out of sight

Standing in the light
Always sitting on the line
Never on a side
Pushing out the light
Standing in the light
I never wanted to be right
Now I'm attracted by the light
And blinded by the sight
Into the light'

Dead ahead in the night
Burning in the light
And knowing that it's right
Driving in the night...

Into the light...

"Israel"

"Israel"

Little orphans in the snow
With nowhere to call a home
Start their singing
Waiting through the summertime
To thaw your hearts in wintertime
That's why they're singing

Waiting for a sign to turn blood into wine
The sweet taste in your mouth -- turned bitter in its glass
Israel... in Israel
Israel... in Israel

Shattered fragments of the past
Meet in veins on the stained glass
Like the lifeline in your palm
Red and green reflects the scene
Of a long forgotten dream
There were princes and there were kings

Now hidden in disguise -- cheap wrappings of lies
Keep your heart alive with a song from inside

Even though we're all alone
We are never on our own when we're singing

There's a man who's looking in
And he smiles a toothless grin
Because he's singing
See some people shine with glee
But their song is jealousy
Their hate is clanging -- maddening
In Israel... will they sing Happy Noel
Israel... in Israel
Israel... in Israel
In Israel will they sing Happy Noel

"Jigsaw Feeling"

"Jigsaw Feeling"

Send me forwards--say my feelings
But all the signals--send me reeling
Jigsaw Feeling

One day I'm feeling total
The next I'm split in two
My eyes are doing somersaults
Staring at my shoe

My brain is out of my hand
There's nothing to prevent
The impulse is quite meaningless
In a cerebral nonevent

Send me forwards--say my feelings
But all the signals--send me reeling
Jigsaw Feeling

Five fingers do my walking
Ten toes unravel 'Knots'
Amorphous jigsaw pieces
Falling into slots

Send me forwards--say my feelings
But all the signals--send me reeling
Jigsaw Feeling

So I just sit in reverie
Getting on my nerves
The intangible bonds that keep me
Sitting on the verge...
Of a breakdown
Of a reaction
Of a result

Complete me... maybe... defeat me
