Operation Peter Pan

Operation Peter Pan


Operation Peter Pan Lyrics
hola
Rojo
Morning to you
You always helped me chase demons away
Don't know what I'll do without you
So Pan is the name of the plane
second to the right
Straight on 'til morning
That's where I'll be waiting
Second to the right
Straight on 'til morning
hola
Tick-tock
My time is up
Pedro says
I will forget him in days
In my new life, no room for a lost boy
Boys can be so dumb sometimes
second to the right
Straight on 'til morning
That's where I'll be waiting
Second to the right
Straight on 'til morning
Straight on 'til morning
kiss Pedro for me

Ophelia

Ophelia


Ophelia your secret is safe
Ophelia you must break the chain
Some girls will get their way
Some fathers will control from the grave
Ophelia you must remember

Veronica's America is not like
Is not like Charlotte's, one to savor
Cosmic flavor
Then Alison whispers, "remember
Change waltzes in with her sister Pain
Waiting for you to send her away
Wish her well break the chain
Break the chain"
I feel you

Ophelia
"The Eve of St. Agnes",
A poem he can't reach you in
Ophelia you know how to lose
But when will you learn to choose
Those men who choose to stay
Those mothers who won't look the other way
Ophelia you must remember

Veronica's America is not like
Is not like Charlotte's, one to savor
Cosmic flavor
Then Alison whispers," remember
Change waltzes in with her sister Pain
Waiting for you to send her away
Wish her well break the chain
Break the chain"
I feel you
Ophelia

Original Sinsuality

Original Sinsuality


There was a garden
In the beginning
Before the fall
Before Genesis

There was a tree there
A tree of knowledge
Sophia would insist
You must eat of this

Original sin?
No, I don't think so
Original sinsuality
Original sin?
No, it should be
Original sinsuality
Original sin?
No, I don't think so
Original sinsuality

Yaldaboath
Saklas
I'm calling you
Samael
You are not alone
I say
You are not alone
In your darkness
You are not alone
Baby
You are not alone

Pain In My Hole

Pain In My Hole


I've got a pain in my hole,
And it could be this boy i know,
Or it could be,
Some big man in a suit somewhere,
Could be that fifteen percent i got sitting at his desk,
After all them royalties,
Trying to be,
Could be that boy,
That i buy furniture for his sweet sweet little penis,
Could be all these boys,
Want to shit off me,
I said...
I said...
I said...
One thing darling,
Beautiful men,
When you think all the chicks are taken,
Let me say one thing,
You ain't getting my bse.

Pancake

Pancake


I'm not sure who's fooling who here
As I'm watching your decay
We both know you could deflate
A seven hurricane
Seems like you and your tribe
Decided you'd rewrite the law
Segregate the mind
From body and soul

[Chorus:]
You give me yours
I'll give you mine
Cause I can look your god
Right in the eye
You give me yours
I'll give you mine
You used to look my god
Right in the eye

I believe in defending
In what we once
Stood for
It seems in vogue
To be a closet
Misogynist homophobe

A change of course in
Our direction
A dash of truth
Spread thinly
Like a flag
On a popstar
On a Benzodiazapene

[Chorus]

Oh Zion please
Remove your glove
And dispel every
Trace
Of his spoken word
That has lodged
In my vortex

I'm not sure who's fooling who here
As I'm watching your decay
We both know you could deflate
A seven hurricane
You could have spared
Her - oh but no
Messiahs need
People dying in their
Name
You say "I ordered you a
Pancake"
You say "I ordered you a
Pancake"

Pandora's Aquarium

Pandora's Aquarium


Pandora
Pandora's Aquarium
She dives for shells
With her nautical nuns
And thoughts you thought
You'd never tell
I am not asking you to believe in me
Boy I think you're confused
I'm not Persephone
Foam can be dangerous
With tape across my mouth
These things you do
I never asked you how

Line me up in single file
With all your grievances
Stare but I can taste
You're still alive below the waste
Ripples come and ripples go
And ripple back to me

Pandora
Pandora's aquarium
She dives for shells
With her nautical nuns
And thoughts you thought
You'd never tell

Line me up in single file
With all your grievances
Stare but I can taste
You're still alive below the waste
Ripples come and ripples go
And ripple back to me

I am not asking you to believe in me
Boy I think you're confused
I'm not Persephone
She's in New York somewhere checking her accounts
The Lord of The Flies was diagnosed as sound

Parasol

Parasol


When I come to terms to terms with this
When I come to terms with this
When I come to terms to terms with this
My world will change for me
I haven't moved since the call came
Since the call came I haven't moved
I stare at the wall knowing on the other side
The storm that waits for me

Then the seated woman with a parasol
May be the only one you can't betray
If I'm the seated woman with a parasol
I will be safe in my frame

I have no need for a sea view
For a sea view I have no need
I have my little pleasures
This wall being one of these

When I come to terms to terms with this
When I come to terms with this
When I come to terms with this whip lash
Of silk on wool embroidery

Then the seated woman with a parasol
May be the only one you can't betray
If I'm the seated woman with a parasol
I will be safe in my frame
I will be safe
In my frame
In your house
In your frame

Per And Pete And Me

Per And Pete And Me


i can feel the life runnin' out of me workin' here at pete's
two years ago it was just the thing
workin' cars part time every week
i met 'em both at a drag race
they both dressed pretty snappy that day
pete's wife peg put the make on me
while pete just looked the other way

now no one can say what your future will hold
or what your life will have in store
we went home that night
pete passed out on the couch
and then peg pulled me down on the floor
well, i know she knew what she was doing
forbidden fruit, but what the hell, i bit
that's all it took, my fate was sealed
that night the flame was lit

and every night when the lights go out
pete drinks his booze and then he passes out
and i hear a footstep outside my door
and then i remember what i started working here for

peg and pete and me
one and one and one make three
peg and pete and me
one and one and one make three
now tell me what would you do if you were in my shoes?

tonight peg, we gotta stop this thing
i don't know if we can, peg said
"don't worry, now pete's asleep and i've got a certain plan
you know everything is in my name," she said,
"and anyway i love you so very much
he'll never feel a thing
just like he never woke up
and after that it will be just us."

every night when the lights go out
pete drinks his booze and then he passes out
and i hear a footstep outside my door
and then i remember what i started working here for

peg and pete and me
one and one and one make three
peg and pete and me
one and one and one make three
now tell me what would you do if you were in my shoes?

the next morning when i woke up peg was gone
but the detective said, "son, you gotta come downtown with me
'cause we know you killed pete dead."
the jury found me guilty
and sent me up for ninety-nine to life
and if there's any advice i can give from this cell
never trust a rich, dead man's wife

peg and pete and me
one and one and one make three
peg and pete and me
one and one and one make three
now tell me what would you do if you were in my shoes?

Pirates

Pirates


Traveled far from my home
Foreign streets paved with stone
Deep in my dreams, Moroccan sand
Now I sail my ship
On dry land

There is a light that
Shines on the frontier
Pirates yeah
Pirates
And on a dark night
When you feel lonely
And the world just
Can't understand you
Pirates yeah
Pirates
Yeah

Steal the jewel, watch it break
It cuts with an eye, I can't escape
The ruby heals, alone I stand
When I sail my ship
On dry land

There is a light that
Shines on the frontier
Pirates yeah
Pirates
And on a dark night
When you feel lonely
And the world just
Can't understand you
Pirates yeah
Pirates
There is a light that
Shines on the frontier
Pirates yeah
Pirates
Yeah

There is a light that
Shines on the frontier
And baby someday
We're gonna be there
Pirates yeah
Pirates
And on a dark night
When you feel lonely
And when the world just
Can't understand you
Pirates yeah
Pirates
There is a light that
Shines on the frontier
Pirates yeah
Pirates
There is a light that
Shines on the frontier

Playboy Mommy

Playboy Mommy


In my platforms I hit the floor
Fell face down
Didn't help my brain out
Then the baby came before I found
The magic how to keep her happy
I never was the fantasy
Of what you want wanted me to be
Don't judge me so harsh little girl
So you got a playboy mommy
But when you tell em my name
And you want to cross that bridge all on your own
Little girl they'll do you no harm
Cause they know your playboy mommy
But when you tell em my name
From here to Birmingham
I got a few friends

I never was there was there when it counts
I get my way
You're so like me
You seemed ashamed
Ashamed that I was
A good friend of American soldiers
I'll say it loud here by your grave
Those angels can't ever take my place

Somewhere where the the orchids grow
I can't find those church bells
That played when you died
Played Gloria
Talkin' 'bout Hosanah

Don't judge me so harsh little girl
You got a playboy mommy, come home
But when you tell them soldiers my name
Cross that bridge all on your own
Little girl they'll do you no harm
They know your playboy mommy
But I'll be home
I'll be home to take you in my arms
