The Moth
03:44
|
|||
Scratch out your name
Cracked open like a rock inside a flame
Do you soften with pain
Return to the wall again
Its many eyes of rust
In winged silver dust
in the lamplight it cast
its meaningless, its past
Its melting to its night
it moves toward the light
its many eyes a lie
It will eat you alive
Shes The Moth
Failure is strange
Kept all the insects inside a cage
Drawn to the flame
Your ignorance and rage
A thousand dead eyes
The winged silver flies
When the lamplight dies
The meaningless lies
It clings to its curse
It moves where its worse
Its many eyes abide
It eats you like a fly
Shes The Moth
Golden in its art
Mold inside its heart
Creation then it dies
Fruit in its demise
Its mask before a flame
Behind it is your name
Waking you in fright
A million eyes at night
And you wake up in twilight
Fill the room with firelight
It betrays you in its eyes
It swallows you alive

Faded Things
03:56
|
|||
Hearts left at the abattoir
Deluded women and their faded husbands
Grandma's phone that never rang more twice
Just wanted to hear a voice
It was easier when you were young
just push your cart down aisle one
All the fools are getting old
Machines fill up the road
birds sway in silence on the bow
put your shoes under the bed
forget about what we said
you practiced all the answers in your head
Beautiful people one day hate their mirror
Looking too deep and drowning in a puddle
alive by the sun that burns you
It was easier when you were young
A taste of madness on your tongue
high we'll glide into the sun

Geraniums on Windowsills
03:21
|
|||
I never had the lamps to light with you at night
I smoked in Amsterdam
In East Tupelo where they believe with all their heart that
Elvis is alive
Geraniums on windowsills get watered still in Graceland
Geraniums on windowsills get watered still in Graceland
Dead alive you hid from lights so long I could no longer
Hear you sing my song
Where cliffs and clouds collide will you try now to
Apprehend the light
Geraniums on windowsills get watered still in Graceland
Geraniums on windowsills get watered still in Graceland
Poured out of me like wine
Madmen wait to die in line
In your Memphis mansion did priscilla observe her
Fingernails all day
And everynight you dreamed you could renew a man whose
Heart is turned away
Geraniums on windowsills get watered still in Graceland
Geraniums on windowsills get watered still in Graceland
Poured out of me like wine
Madmen wait to die in line

Ghost
03:08
|
|||
In your platinum wig you had put on your lipstick tonight
Usual alibis, the leaves of the trees blew not quite right
And now it's just me here with a ghost in my house
A mind of betrayal in a flickering hotel room
Behind window glare you saw my headlights
And now its just me here, not a sound in my house
Boat breached at unknown waters
Thora was not like this before
Casing parking lots the child sleeps so well
an iron horse I had ran too late to the war
And now its just me here with a ghost in my house
You wouldnt come down and see the red leaves shake
Hey hey I hate your name
And now its just me here with toys in my house
my daughters toys in my house
I hear the rain blow against my window
the devil and the fool
watching for the setting sun
but i only see the moon

Grocery Store
04:03
|
|||
Im tracking flying saucers that come silently over every day
from the kitchen radio keeping records of all the activity
Like my blood pressure machine going missing from the counter
where i work at the grocery store
how can i help you
The spying water is on the walls and I can hear breathing everyday
from the light bulbs in my room where the FBI is
reading all the things Im writing down in secret codes
regarding things i shouldnt know about
but i know they know i know
How can i help you
Telephone lines they wired into my spine
I feel it every day
The guilded lies that glass over my eyes
moving shadows every day
I will publish details of the bomb that they are building in mind
that will explode like the cries of dancing children over
tambourine trampolines and the sounds of motorcycles
Shaking windows by the counter where I work at the grocery store
How can I help you
This song is just a filler
Shut it off

Female Trouble
03:06
|

I've got lots of problems, female trouble
Maybe Im twisted
They say im insane but i dont care
go ahead and put me in the electric chair
Im bezerk i like it fine
as long as i am grabbing a headline

I Was a Lamb
04:01
|
|||
I was a lamb in a dream
I knelt down to taste the ground
Weren't the kind of things to seperate
We stayed together through the summer
Spring was a time to give birth
my friend gestured her kissed first
the farmers shoes like atom bombs
Dismember me with a song
Mother did you give me all this life to be running
One thousand bees swarm around
the old dog whos destined for the ground
i watch him walk in lines over new grass
The inevitable beauty of our demise
Thrown in the same old black hole
I cannot wake up from the dream
In a mindless nowhere
Found my mother hiding in the wiry brushes
She had been frightened by the passing buses
was it the sound
or the ocean like wave of the flags
No dust reflecting, just winter showed
I forgot myself in the snow
I left little tracks for the shadow of an axe
Flowed into my eyes
All the scenery that led me here
I left it frozen there
Unborn me somehow
Disappear me now
All the leaves of sadness led me here
I never found a way out of the mirror
Who set the moon alight
My heart could hear the music of the spheres
All the hands of kindness led me here
I was grown up to die

Psychopaths
04:33
|
|||
Im not afraid of you
the snake inside
you uncoil my granite
Im sad and you are there to remind
A sharp lit crow
a beak tipped with blood
Your wings stretched out over my
unseasonable mind
And i feel my bones drawn through the dark
and the hell plane tears down and rips me inside
no danger to me, im the last leaf on the tree
I see you .....
I hope that you die
ANd scratch away my cockroach mind
Alive the full moon beats silently inside
Psychopaths can move with the morning sea
You cannot enter inside me
Blind through all these years
Burn me alive
alive inside of here
And you deny
the kingdom of the liar
Id like to set you on fire
Id like to set you on fire
Fire fire fire and you burn
Oooh
Kerosene ill set you on fire
Not afraid of you
monotone of light
So moves in time
my purpose has died

Tragedy of the Breeze
04:09
|
|||
I was given bedding in the sun
A bunk for one until I'm done
And the canaries they were there
Dumb in the trees they died with me
And I went blind gazing through the
Tragedy of the breeze
I never planned this
I did not want it
The wind pushed me here
And as I was absent
Descending downward
I just wandered here
I understood nothing
Never saw it coming
Now I'm just here
Lying, the summer sun wilts the rose
The bones of my shadows in my dreams
Braking through walls as I miss my home
Pulled all the daises from your hair
Walked to my grave and left them there
Now it is raining in the sunshine
Can't see the flies; I've sewed my eyes
Left here with golden roses and
Bare skin in the breeze
I never planned this
I did not want it
The wind pushed me here
And as I was absent
Descending downward
I just wandered here
I understood nothing
Never saw it coming
Now I'm just here
Lying, the summer sun wilts the rose

Embreyo
04:31
|
|||
Claw and change
a bird in the night
sleeping blind
white clouds
black dog is alive
crow cried
You can climb mountains
you can run in the breeze
you are inside a machine of bones
and times running out
Make it to the lighthouse Swimming until youre out of breath
No shelter from the sea wind a witch whispers words of drowning in your ear
Inside your skull youre an embreyo
We all hide the screams of an animal
Head laid on pillows of frozen snow
Cicadas pray that they'll see day
As you sink into your ship of bones and sleep all day
Shine a search light inside of you
Almond eyes mirror fires
Sinking to the bottom of the pool
Spinning round with the room on fire
you will eat your own skin
Fell through the floor again running to the southbound train
It's somewhere new you're running but you turned up paralysed again
Stiffen up your coat
Drink another cup
the devil in your throat
was an eskimo

Green Pines
02:56
|
|||
The sun behind the green pines
Stood on the lawn and I felt my heart beating
the wind blew through the silent avenues
The branches of a sparrow bend beneath the moon
Saw in half your living room
secret heart the secret room
Millions die in afternoons
My house is falling silent soon
Vietnam
Green pines
I keep falling in my dreams
Assassinations and dope raids
You still call me in my dreams
Who you know, what you know
million pounds of cocaine and round and round we go
I dont know where you go
20 tonnes of propane and see the afterglow
Jail-dogs hide skulls on a postcard
policeman peddling crystal shards to you
Flee the floods and teargas the crowds
Caught another butterfly.. or a
Bow-winged blowfly
Milkweed by and by
European magpie

Watch TV
02:45
|
|||
Look at all the planes flying backwards
My robot brain is still asleep
Push the storm under the rug
Stupid keep the plastic candle burning
All day long you watch TV
You don't spend no time with me
Swinging like a storm inside a jacket
Fractured spiders in the sun
The witch burning sheets under the bridge
Tenderize your heart on the chopping board
All day long you watch TV
Garbage piling under me
Look at the moon smiling backwards
Look at the faces on the cars
Put your refrigerator on
Now all your curtains are gone
All day long you watch TV
TV TV TV Kill ME

Walking Home
02:57
|
|||
Inanimate repetitive stairways in skyscraper arteries
Replicate soulless robot-like slaves at the coffee machine
They all line the streets with stones
I'm only walking home and theyre staring at me
Im imagining my bullets roam and they sound like
RATATAT RATATAT
Someone sees me im standing in the rain
but theyre blinded by my headlights
Demons and weathermen, bakers and garbage men
echo in my mind like
RATATAT RATATAT
The rancid smell of cooking bread as the city wakes
Peace for the blacks peace for the whites but
we're all hanging limp off the same vine
We all worship lumps of tin
pictures on the wall
hold scared the rooms that our grandma died in
Laughing fox-wind
beats at the side of the barn
Laughing lying loons
wishing they were back in the same room

Empty Mirrors
04:47
|
|||
You came along and Im just a fly in your spiderweb
Caught here with still shells of lost enemies
Strangers all of us
A still meadow
Navigated rocks and crossed over all your uneven bridges
stillness of ice raining eyes over empty mirrors
Looked at the moon smiling backwards
that old familiar bastard is still here
rivulets of ice still raining in your eyes
Trembling, I dreamed I was dreaming again
I heard your voice in the living room twice
I think your ghost is hiding here
The smell of your perfume has faded through time
the light shone smaller as you moved away
The faded curtains, your garden overgrown
I hold my razor to my ear
Imagined sighs live false in the trees
All the streets are burning here
I painted little drops over the flames I did not see
Your mind was full of garbage just like rivers in the street
Press your rose petals in our dried out book of love
a fragrance i have lost under the mattress on the wooden floor
The sound of cars driving up and down in some kind of misery
Mechanical eternities are not enough
This is the last time I will think of you

99 Horses
03:45
|
|||
Do you remember where all your art has gone?
Where you hide your bones buried in your home
Where your inner child has gone
Wont you please mind the store
Heart still now you wont cry anymore
Brothers there underneath the floor
99 horses that ran through the snow
How sweet your moans that sand me forlorn
First summers day I'll be gone
Do you remember when your little blames turned into one
Nobody and nobodys fault
hundreds of people sighing inside of their windows
Can you please close the store
heart of stone you cant cry anymore
mothers there somewhere in the cracks of the door

Moving On now

Moving On Now
Across these silent hills
and where my shadow fills
I still sang my song
Through the streets I passed along
and when the suns asleep
Under blankets you weep
I'm moving on now
I'm Moving on now
Little birds perched on the wires
Know the world will end in fire
I'd crush your heart of ice
But just to know would suffice
Eastward winds start to roll
Silence in my soul
I'm moving on now
I'm moving on now
When the soft sea wind is aching
You will not hear me go
In the sour fair sunrise-hour glow
I will sigh where the seas leave me cold
In sheets of stolen hues
There were fragmentary blues
Somewhere beyond the sun
Do we sing or do we run
It's clearer to see
You turned your back on me
I'm moving on now
I'm moving on now
