2. Queens of the Circulating Lib I am a queen of the circulating library
I have declared an amnesty
All books may be returned without a penalty
Return the books to me
Return the books
Don't burn the books
You cut down the trees to make paper disease
A Cold CellO Lord, save my sinful soul
From local punishment
From the far-away zone
From being frisked
From the tall fence
From the severe prosecutor
From the Devil or from the devil owner
From small rations
A List of WishesOf joys, the unweighed
Of skins, the unflayed
Of stories, the incomprehensible
Of suggestions, the indispensable
Of youth, the new
Of lovers, the true
Of orgasms, the uncoordinated
Of enmities, the reciprocated
A White RainbowA white rainbow under an unquiet skull
(A roaring aura)
(A tremulous column of air, hanging there)
Moon's milk spills from my unquiet skull
And forms a white rainbow
(A psychosis, a roaring aura)
(Aurora borealis)
A white rainbow
All The Pretty Little HorsesHush-a-bye
Don't you cry
Go to sleepy little baby
Go to sleepy little baby
When you wake
You shall have
All the pretty little horsies
All the pretty little horsies
Amber RainAmber rain is beautiful but wrong
Caught between weak and being strong
It seems these days the weaker ones survive
What an awful way to find out you're alive
A dull warm red water falls
Flowing down to the sea
Where deeper darker waters wait for me
An Unearthly RedGod told me to do it
God told me to do it
He said God told me to do it
God told me to do it
He said God told me to do it
He said God told me to do it
He said God told me to do it
He said God has told me to do it
AscensionBeing your slave, what should I do but tend
Upon the hours and times of your desire?
I have no precious time at all to spend,
Nor services to do, till you require.
Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour
Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you,
Nor think the bitterness of absence sour
When you have bid your servant once adieu;
BackwardsBackwards, backwards
The world ended a long time ago (repeated)
It's moving backwards
It's moving backwards
It's moving backwards
Backwards, backwards
It's moving backwards
Backwards, backwards
Bat Wings(The key to joy is disobedience
There is no guilt and there is no shame)
A moon-piece to fetch up the golden cup
A snow-piece to avoid the great heat of the sun
Is kept in the night and by the light of the moon
An ice-piece so as they seem forever fallen
Bee StingsDon't believe A.E.
See for yourself the summer fields
See for yourself the summer fields
Before the tractor comes and wakes you
Before the cereal is sown Walk along on your own
Don't believe the guidebooks
See the glimmer on a wet stone surface
Be an idiot
Blue RatsBlue rats, watch them patter
Blue rats, pitter-patter
Blue rats, watch them patter
Blue rats, pitter-patter
I'm waiting for the scratch
Of blue rats
Of blue rats
BroccoliWise words from the departing
Eat your greens, especially broccoli
Remember to say "thank you" for the things you haven't had
By working the soil we cultivate the sky
We embrace vegetable kingdom
The death of your father, the death of your mother
Is something you prepare for
Broken AuraAs I fell into the water
I slipped and broke my aura
As I fell into the water
I slipped and broke my aura
As I fell into the water
I slipped and broke my aura
As I fell into the water
- Are you asleep?
Cathedral in FlamesCircle within Circle
And when that hour came
From words they passed to deeds
Spires, Spirals, and Stones rise
'And in the distance
A cathedral in flames'
Given a chance to recover his breath
And exposed
Cave of RosesWhat is your substance, whereof are you made,
That millions of strange shadows on you tend?
Since every one hath, every one, one shade,
And you, but one, can every shadow lend.
Describe Adonis, and the counterfeit
Is poorly imitated after you;
On Helen's cheek all art of beauty set,
And you in Grecian tires are painted new:
Christmas Is Now Drawing NearChristmas is now drawing near at hand
Come serve the Lord and be at His command
And God a portion for you will provide
And give a blessing to your soul besides
Down in the garden where flowers grow in ranks
Down on your bended knees and give the Lord thanks
Down on your knees and pray both night and day
Cold CellО, Господи!
Спаси мою душу грешную
За порядки здешние,
От этапа дальнего,
От шмона капитального,
От забора высокого,
От прокурора жестокого,
От хозяина-беса,
Ended??? we may never meet again
For all we know, on this dusty road again
We won't say goodnight until the very last minute
I'll hold out my hand and my heart will be in it
For all we know this affair may be a dream
They come and go like the ripples in a stream
So kiss me, my darling
Tomorrow was meant for some
Enochian CallingThen hate me when thou wilt; if ever, now;
Now, while the world is bent my deeds to cross,
Join with the spite of fortune, make me bow,
And do not drop in for an after-loss:
Ah, do not, when my heart hath 'scoped this sorrow,
Come in the rearward of a conquer'd woe;
Give not a windy night a rainy morrow,
To linger out a purposed overthrow.
EtherETHER
It's either ether or the other
My mind is back to front
And sometimes absent
And slip the cup
I've taken a sip from the cup that slips into ether
Finite BeesWhen most I wink, then do mine eyes best see,
For all the day they view things unrespected;
But when I sleep, in dreams they look on thee,
And darkly bright are bright in dark directed.
Then thou, whose shadow shadows doth make bright,
How would thy shadow's form form happy show
To the clear day with thy much clearer light,
When to unseeing eyes thy shade shines so!
Fire Of The MindDoes death come alone or with eager reinforcements?
Does death come alone or with eager reinforcements?
Death is centrifugal
Solar and logical
Decadent and symmetrical
Angels are mathematical
Angels are bestial
Man is the animal
Further Back and Faster- We've gone too far. We need... we haven't really got anywhere.
- Anyway, we've gotta go much further out.
- We have to go much further... much further back, and faster.
- Wait a minute.
From the film Performance:
- You've got it! You've got the gift!
- ???
- Yeah! A special energy, pulsating into the ???.

And I was totally devastated ...???... picking up the pieces afterwards ...???... and, ah, it took me about a year to feel safe. I couldn't possibly think of anybody else other than John ...???... I was so distressed ...???... I think it's a dreadful, a dreadful thing.
Love's Secret DomainO rose, thou art sick
Seduce, let loose the vision and the void
Bloodsuckle and honey suck
O rose, thou art sick
O, the vision and the void
The bloodsickle cuts the honey suck
O rose, thou art sick
Paint Me as a Dead SoulPaint me as a dead soul
with a halo of black joy
Medusa in a mirror
etched out in acid
the flesh, the image, the reflection
One who dwells in scarlet darkness
like animals in palaces
drawing blood
PanicAnything will be all right
If you come out in the night
With your life sewn open
Breathe in, put the bone back in
Buried under the skin
Murder in reverse
Out of time and out of place
Paranoid InlaySerenity is a problem
When you've been this close to Heaven
What you really wanted to see
Was the wonders of the underworld
I caught Saint Peter's disease
As he rattled his keys
Now serenity is a problem
Penetralia II- Hello?

Follow the black valley, trail of death.
- Just look at it this way.
Poisons- Kitchen.
- No. No. No. No! No! No! No! No, no, no, no! No! No! No! No! No! No!
- ???... So we know this. We've all gone mad. We've all gone mad. We've all gone mad by now! Touched, touched, touched, touched by Christ's little hand. Have to rearrange reality to come back here to these monoliths.
Red QueenNow you've absorbed it into your system
Now that you've allowed it to be true
Now that you've neutralised it, made it safe, made it yours
Now that you've been photographed, recorded
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do?
Is it so unsafe when you are
Restless DayEach time I wake up
Each time I say
The shifting slow beginning
Another restless day
Down damned indecision
Push me on my way
The shifting slow beginning
Another restless day
Rosa DeciduaRose, I hear your voice near to me
I've put away the poisoned chalice, for now
And lie down amongst the flowerbeds
Whichever stars we walk among
We both seek out the darkest red
The wine was turned to blood again
Without this blood we'd both be dead
SlurRoman land of Roman sands and Roman sons
As I watch the sun sink down
On the blood-red edge of the blood-red town
There are shadows for sale
On the edge of town
On the edge of the night
Is a darkness seen
Snow Falls into Military TemplesSnow falls, slow falls, snow falls, slow falls
Snow falls, slow falls, snow falls, slow falls

Stop like a clock
Like a hole in the ground

Tainted LoveSometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night
Tattooed ManI'm waiting for the crunch of another naked lunch

With the same tattoos as me
And I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him

Tenderness of WolvesWas all in vain, or did you cry?
No need to ask; my tears have run dry
This is the end of my pity
I wait to die
You now the living, me now the dead
You now the living, me now the dead
The Anal StaircaseThe angels kiss our souls in bliss
Measure the extent of a dizzying descent
Down the anal staircase
Down the anal staircase
Put just one foot on the staircase
And the next step you're down here on this face
Down the anal staircase
The Dreamer is Still AsleepHush, may I ask you all for silence?
The dreamer is still asleep
May the goddess keep us from single visions
And beauty sleep
The dreamer is still asleep
The dreamer is still asleep
He's inventing landscapes in their magnetic fields

The Lost Rivers of LondonI'm gonna drown myself in London's lost rivers
I will walk down to the rain
From Hubert Montague Crackanthorpe's Vignettes (1896):
I have sat there and seen the winter days finish their short-spanned lives; and all the globes of light crimson, emerald, and pallid yellow start, one by one, out of the russet fog that creeps up the river. But I like the place best on these hot summer nights, when the sky hangs thick with stifled colour, and the stars shine small and shyly. Then the pulse of the city is hushed, and the scales of the water flicker golden and oily under the watching regiment of lamps.
The bridge clasps its gaunt arms tight from bank to bank, and the shuffle of a retreating figure sounds loud and alone in the quiet. There, if you wait long enough, you will hear the long wail of the siren, that seems to tell of the anguish of London till a train hurries to throttle its dying note, roaring and rushing, thundering and blazing through the night, tossing its white crests of smoke, charging across the bridge into the dark country beyond.
The Sea PriestessМЕГАТРЕК!!!
The Sea Priestess
On the sea coast of Tibet
Egyptian Aztecs are arriving from Norway
They've been varnishing the woodwork for forty-three centuries
Here, Nature is naked, her acrobats bathed in blood
the wheel...Four
When the storm clears and the sun shines
We'll see the country beyond the garden
Oh I was dragged here by an angel
Against my weak will the stronger dictate
Now I stand here, I've scaled the mountain
Things HappenDaddy, do you have a
Cigarette for me, I think
Maybe is getting late
Maybe time is running out
You know, I knew somebody once
Rifled through his drawers
I wasn't that suspicious, but...
You know these things
Tiny Golden BooksDark they were, with golden eyes
Brought golden books from darkened skies
Every word from every world within was written down
They read it all aloud to us with silver tongues of fire
That licked the sun and stars and moon
All space became a choir
Shining shining shining then they left without a sound
Then they left without a sound

Who By FireAnd who by fire, who by water,
who in the sunshine, who in the night time,
who by high ordeal, who by common trial,
who in your merry merry month of may,
who by very slow decay,
and who shall I say is calling?
And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate,
WindowpaneIn the sky and in the eye and
In the sky and in the eye and..
If you want to touch the sky
Just put a window in your eye
See the sun and
See the rain
See the window
See the pain
