"Anna Miranda"

"Anna Miranda"



Anna Miranda I've been waiting here
On my verandah, southern hemisphere
All of the slow storms which blow the dust across the sky
Anna Miranda I've been waiting here
Wish I knew what you were looking for

Anna Miranda distance alters all our words
Time meanders, discord and music of the birds
All of the dark storms which drive the rain across my face
Anna Miranda I've been waiting here
Wish I knew what you were looking for

Anna Miranda well it's serious
The salamanders are delirious
All of the black storms which shake the fruit down from the trees
Anna Miranda yeah it's serious
Wish I knew what you were looking for

Anna Miranda I've been waiting here
On my verandah, almost seven years
All of the wild storms which cause the flowering buds to burst
Anna Miranda I've been waiting here
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Then I might have known what you would find

(Thank you and goodnight from The Church!)

"Another Earth"

"Another Earth"



At the back of your mind
Where you hide your real self
Lay down your head
You see her once more

She wants the moon and stars
She, she needs some time and space
She (wants another Earth) (Bastard Universe)
(Wants another Earth) (hear it coming now)

She wants the moon and stars

At the end of the day
When the light is so soft
You take off your mask
See she's never around

She wants the moon and stars
She, she wants the world to end
She (wants another Earth) (Bastard Universe)
(Wants another Earth) (hear it coming now)

She wants the moon and stars
She, she wants the world to end
She, she needs some time and space
She, she wants another Earth
She needs some time and space
She wants another Earth

"Antenna"

"Antenna"



Why do you always wrongly assume
That you're so well aware of what's happening there
Right here in this room?

You're just an antenna, you're just a wire
There's a thousand tongues wagging in your ears tonight
And you turn around and you call me a liar
Lightly babe, oh the fine lights cannot find you
She stay out my way, it's the pulse I am aligned to
And everything you say, you'll need that breath one day

Well, you're just an antenna, you're just a code
You translate like a book, the fuses all cook
You eat humble pie and it tastes of the road
Lightly babe, oh the fine lights cannot find you
She say, "that's the way, that's the fate I am resigned to"
And everything you say, you'll need that breath one day

You're just an antenna, you're just a gauge
You disturb my slumber, round up the numbers
And put them inside your velvety cage
Lightly babe, oh the fine lights cannot find you
She say, "make my day, and the sunlight will not blind you"
Lightly babe, oh the fine lights cannot find you
I may never pray to the fortune that's behind you

"Anthem X"

"Anthem X"



According to evidence
We all descended from god's magnificence
The holy world, a diamond tower
We are the sirens of this ruined lie

Oh you fools, glow glorious
Return the fire that was stolen from us
A million things must come and pass
We are the casing and the cover and the cast

Come inside, pull you down
Let light and music and honor be born
My golden ones who dare to fight
You stand against the fabrications of the night

Writing tunes with much revere
Preserved by people and cut and battered here
Take those blows, stand your ground
Or wander lost and never to be found

"Anyway"

"Anyway"



Empires crumble in the distance
Violet crumble in my bowl
Conspiracy theory, Timothy Leary
None of this is good for my soul

Salamander extravaganza
What if I sing like Mario Lanza?

Anyway, in my own way
I don't make sense any more
It's so hard to fake
One lucky break
Champagne and cake

Young Master Morris has a closet in the forest
But where were the bears when he let down his hair
Pieces of ice dragging over the windscreen
Look out Wonderland we're bursting through the black screen

Anyway, in my own way
I don't make sense any more
It's so hard to fake
One lucky break
Cocaine and cake

Millions of consumers are lost in the rumors
Overhead the weather sparked lava on their leathers
Fighting real fires with the rabbis and the friars
The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker

You know that all of them are users
None of them are takers
Making Sunday music with their tom-toms and their shakers

Anyway in my own way
I don't make sense any more
It's so hard to fake
One lucky break
Champagne and cake

Anyway in my own way
I don't make sense any more

"Appalatia"

"Appalatia"



Appalatia
You're such a beautiful high
Applicator/At the gates of
A pale blue desire

Cloudy in my memory
Like one long moment can be
Such a godly gift
(You're such a beautiful high)

Turning favor on
Every day I'm watching you
Learning our love song
In this way it's changing you

Fascination, your secrets of life/alive
In the ascending, brings on an ultimate smile
Water in the lamplight
Danced along this shared night
Singing with the star shine
Until the morning sun blind

Burning slowly on
Everyday I'm missing you
Yearning not for long
Searching everywhere, I'm gaining you

You're such a beautiful high
Such a beautiful high

Water in the lamplight
Danced along this shared night
Singing with the star shine
Until the morning sun blind

Journey up and on
Every day becoming you
Burning as you lay
(Searching the world)
On this day becoming you
(I'll search beneath the world)

This'll be your shelter
Someone must have built it
Leave her and I felt her
A river and a delta

"As You Will"

"As You Will"



Wake up late, day is still dawning
Get out on the road
Meet up with a man, his face well worn in
He's carrying a load
On the way to paradise

Summer rain falls, head for some shelter
Close to a wall
See the lady dressed in chance, you try to help her
She heeds your call
On the way to paradise

Find a hidden door that leads to a garden
And venture through
Sunshines bright, a witness to pardon
The world that you knew
On the way to paradise

Ornamental, or warm and gentle
On the way to paradise
As you will some day

All is well, the distant horizon, it's there in wait
Get so close, you're so much wiser, but wake up late
On the way to paradise

Ornamental, or warm and gentle
Can you tell heaven from hell
As you will some day

"Aura"

"Aura"



We all came back from the war
I wish somebody would tell me the score
We raked old Poseidon over the coals
Shook his shells, shaked his shoals

Where can a soldier fix himself a drink
Forget the noise, forget the stink
And the opium is running pretty low
'Cause when the pain comes back, I don't want to know

Across yonder ocean the natives are fierce
Their ears are filled their teeth are pierced
But it's not their spears that spill your breath
They kill their enemies by loving them to death

We were on some battlefield
I felt something soft go through my shield
I felt something warm enter my guts
I was bleeding bad but there were no cuts

They captured three of us, took us back to their village
After a long long time I could decipher their language
They worshipped Baal, they worshipped the sun
They worshipped the son of the evil one

They were more than voracious, they sucked our ambition
They let me go on one condition
That was when I came back to my native shore
I tell you they don't want to play with us anymore

But a part of me will never be free
And the part that's free will never be me
But a thing of love and beauty is in my head
A message from our enemies, and here's what they said

They said that love = hate
And death = fate
An enemy always = an adorer
But priest = aura

Yeah, and life = time
And time = space
And space = sublime
And human = race

Oh and woman = man
And pot = pan
The fauna ought to equal the flora
But priest = aura

And beginning = the end
The end always = the start
But straight = bent
The mind sometimes = the heart

And you = me
The land = the sea
Richer = poorer
And priest = aura

"Authority"

"Authority"



She says it's OK
The rent just went on entertainment
But who's gonna say
It's just not my day
She's got enough stuff to get real tough
Well, she's the girl who plays
The holiday is over, the honeymoon is over
The garden's overgrown
The trust is rusted, the link's been busted
The seeds are sown
The sounds of my breath, what do you expect
Echo in the hall
The ghost of the picture still haunts the master
Bedroom mirrored wall

I suppose you'd say she made a fool of me
Oh, but she has authority

It used to be fine
Days full of music, nights full of music
Music all the time
Invisible light
I try my best but I transgressed
It used to be fine
The chances are used up, the finances used up
The energy is low
Letters are returned, lovers are spurned
Delivered quite a blow
The signs of disaster, I wouldn't put it past her
The dagger's in the dark
The stale perfume in her old room
Heart of a shark

I suppose you'd say she made a slave of me
Oh, but she has authority

I guess that that's all
The curtain comes down and the circus leaves town
The leaves begin to fall
I guess that that's it
The world keeps spinning, people keep sinning
And all the rest is just bullshit
The shadow's getting longer, the widow's gettin' younger
The cup doth overflow
The luxury of pity, babe this wasn't pretty
On with the show
Life is a tangle, a one night triangle
Some tangle of life limbs
You sleep like a baby precious as a ruby
Goodbye everything

I suppose you'd say she made a fool of me
Oh, but she had authority
