13 Arabian NightsThe jewel, the prize
looking into your eyes
Cool pools drown your mind
What else will you find
I heard a rumour - it was just a rumour
I heard a rumour- what have you done to her
20th Century BoyFriends say it's fine
Friends say it's good
Everybody says he's
Just like Robin Hood
I move like a cat
Talk like a rat
Sting like a bee
92 DegreesThe day drags by like a wounded animal
The approaching disease, 92 degrees
The blood in our veins and the brains in our head
The approaching unease, 92 degrees
Long ago in the headlines, they noticed it too
But too late for the loved ones and nearly for you
An ExecutionThis is what she saw
The unsuspecting horse was held fast to the ground
Whilst some soldiers slit open its belly
The guilty gypsy was shoved inside the horse's belly
With only his head protruding from the dying beast
Arabian KnightsThe jewel, the prize
Looking into your eyes
Cool pools drown your mind
What else will you find
I heard a rumour -- it was just a rumour
I heard a rumour -- what have you done to her
Myriad lights -- they said I'd be impressed
BelladonnaSunrise breaks its fatal perfume
And I'm dizzy to distraction
The scented clutches of a siren's lament
Embrace the sound of enchantment
Five fathoms deep, the lovers leap
The lanterns of skin beckon us in
O Belladonna
Blow the house downWeaving in his basket chair
Twist you round a lock of hair
Made of straw -- the wicker man
Made of straw -- I'll blow your house down
Bishops falling from the windows
The lightening makes your hair stand on end
This dervish frenzy -- will make you run around
Bring Me the Head of the Preacher ManFollowing desire in your eyes
You're mine, you're mine all mine
Following the signs in your mind
You're mine, you're mine, all mine
Bring me the head of the preacher
Man in the sickening daze
O, the rotting sun washes down
Burn-UpA crumpled future in your fist
The killing streak ascends sun kissed
And the firestarter from within
Pokes out from fever blistered grin
King Salamander that's his name
A desert maker that's his aim
The benign cremator, branding iron in his hand
Eager and willing to torch the land
CannonsTroubled weather's on its way
Tempests threaten us today
There's no respite from long dark nights
Just the fantasy of spring
From the hailstones of summer
To a scorching winter land
A frozen death sleep, then this heat
CarcassSomeone's in cold storage
Seeking Heinz main-courses
Craving for a raw love
He'll hide you from the cleaver
He'll hang with you forever
Longing for a fresh meat
By hook or by crook
CarouselYou clamber up
And look behind
Their watchful eyes
The helping hands
A hen that's fierce
And painted blue
With red eyes
Wants to swallow you
Cascadeoh the air was shining
shining like a wedding ring
barbed like sex
i felt 10,000 volts
my chest was full of eels
pushing through my usual skin
i opened up new wounds
pouting, shouting
ChristineShe tries not to shatter,kaleidoscope style
personality changes behind her red smile
every new problem brings a stranger inside
heplessly forcing one more new disguise
Christine-the strawberry girl
Christine-banana split lady
Christine-the strawberry girl
Cities In DustWater was running, children were running
You were running out of time
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Were you praying at the Lares shrine
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Choking on the dirty sand
Your former glories and all the stories
Coal MindTwo black holes staring
From deep in the coal mind
Murder in mind-murder deep in the coal mind
Aphids and triffids bump mad into earwigs
Eating their way-through the green brain vegetation
Mutter mutter eyelids wonder
Twitching in time to troubled slumber
Congo CongaOh
Six-foot high
In the sky
Jive and jibe
Watutsi tribe
Oh
CryCry for the bird with broken wings
Cry for the world that will not spin
Cry for the loss of innocence
Cry for a love, turned loveless
Sometimes I think of you, when I'm alone
Oh no Cry ...
DazzleThe stars that shine & the stars that shrink
In the face of stagnation the water runs
Before your eyes
Swallowing diamonds
A cutting throat
Your teeth when you grin
Reflecting beams on tombstones
Dear PrudenceDear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out and play
Dear Prudence open up your eyes
Dear Prudence see the sunny skies
Desert KissesDesert kisses in the sand
engulfing joints, engulfing land
Tidal fingers cling to rocks
a deadly grip, a deadly lock
Cursed and pissed into the ocean
Willfully caused a great commotion
but only for a stifled moment
DizzyDizzy, dizzy
Oh so dizzy
Scorpio rising on the horizon
Thunder tumbling from the mountains
Harpy sirens strangle silence
A piece of mind left dying
El Dia De Los MuertosIt's all soul's day
I hear you say
It's all soul's day
And you've come to play
For the lost ones
The unadorned ones here today
El Dia de Los Muertos
Eve White Eve BlackIt hurts
There's a pain in my head
I wish it would stop
But it never stops
I can feel it coming I'm getting weaker
Please help me...I'm getting weaker
I'm getting weaker
Please help me
Face To FaceFace to face
My lovely foe
Mouth to mouth
Raining heaven’s blows
Hand on heart
Tic tac toe
Under the stars
Naked as we flow
FireworksThe Body is wrapped is shadow
the face is built of cinders
and painc tears thro' your silhouette
as your squeezed by burning fingers
and he's crackling in our colours
with teeth of gelignite
when he sighs his song and pirouettes
Follow The SunScarecrow grins he's growing very tall
Growing tall under the golden sun
Growing with the children of the corn
Sending out the message of a strange tongue
A message of the sun
Young skin stretched in over apallis grin
The crimson spilling golden crops of hair
Got To Get UpGot to get up, get into life, got to get up, get into life
Got to get up and live this life, got to get up and win this life
No more looking down, look up
Skyward up your eyes, devour the sun now
Got to, got to get up now, so get up
Gonna shake my bones gonna shed my skin
Shake out what's mine, shake out this thing
Green FingersHibiscus head-in a flower bed
A finger hewn-planted and sewn
Oh magic in her hands-she could make anything grow
Magic in her hands - she had green fingers
It's curious
Where animals don't go
HalloweenThe night is still
And the frost it bites my face
I wear my silence like a mask
And murmur like a ghost
"Trick or Treat"
"Trick or Treat"
The bitter and the sweet
Happy House Kaleidoscope
1. Happy House
This is the happy house
We're happy here in the happy house
Oh it's such fun, fun, fun
Head CutThe head is the best part
My head cut my woodcut
I saw you in the gallery
With your torso and family
A huge smiling central face
With eyes and lips cut out
But smiling and eating
Helter SkelterWhen I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again
Do you, don't you want me to love you?
I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you
Tell me, tell me, tell me, come on tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
Hong Kong GardenHarmful elements in the air
Symbols crashing everywhere
Reaps the fields of rice and reeds
While the population feeds
Junk floats on polluted water
An old custom to sell your daughter
Would you like number 23?
Leave your yens on the counter please
HybridIt'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
I Could Be AgainThrough 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 wear my memories like a shroudThe night is still
and the frost it bites my face
I wear my silence like a mask
and murmur like a ghost
Trick or Treat
Trick or Treat
The bitter and the sweet
The carefree days
IconMy 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
Into a Swan
What in the world is happening?
What in the world could this be?
I'm on the verge of an awakening
A new kind of strength for me
I feel a force I've never felt before
I don't want to fight it anymore
Into the LightInto the line
I see it fine
Into the line
Our hearts entwine
Remember when
Your time again
Standing in the light
Always sitting in the line
IsraelLittle 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
Jigsaw FeelingSend 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
Kiss Them For MeKiss Them For me
It glittered and it gleamed
For the arriving beauty queen
A ring and a car
Now you're the prettiest by far
No party she'd not attend
Lands EndCome take this hand at twilight's door
I'll meet you there we'll share the moonlit floor
Through the driving rain, colors run in veins
Ozone fills the air, two figures disappear
Come let's take flight, let's quit this scene tonight
Whilst they sleep on endless, in their wrecked designs
Sleep on endless in your wrecked designs
Let GoNautical mile stretch out the years
A space walk, untethered, let go of your fears
A pioneering seed with every step you breed
Walks away from the crouching shuttle
And the countdown crow
Around the globe
Says let go
Little Johnny JewelLittle Johnny Jewel
My little Johnny Jewel
Oh he's so cool
He had no decision
He's just trying to tell a vision
Well some thought it sad
And others thought it mad
They're just scratching the surface
Little SisterHere I sit in paradise
my head between my hands
Little sister, break your vow
break down, the sacred side
little sister, break the rules
break me in two
Love In A VoidToo many fools blocking my motion
Clouding my eyes...must be the potion
Spots on my eyes...must be the lotion
Love in a void...it's so numb
Avoid in love...it's so dumb
Love in a void
Too many bigots for my liking
Love Out MeI smash the glass into my face
Cutting through to my disgrace
Disregard for bone and flesh
How can I be in such a mesh of unlikeliness?
I smash my likeness
At my fingertips
With this blade turned in on me
Cutting an ancient tree
Lunar CamelChasing a monsoon over the dune
Oh fly me to the moon, get me there soon I don't have to prove I'll last longer than you One hump or two any handicap will do against you I'll be there soon-over the moon
I'll be there soon-over the moon
Chasing a monsoon over the dune
Oh fly me to the moon, get me there soon
MirageI'm just a vision on your TV screen
Just something conjured from my dream
Seen through your x-ray eyes, a see-through scene
The image is no images, it's not what it seems
My limbs are like palm trees swaying in the breeze
My body's an oasis to drink from as you please
I'm not seeing what I'm meant to believe in
MonitorMonitor outside
For the people inside
A prevention of crime
A passing of time
They come and they go
It's a passing of time
They come and they go
Nicotine StainIt's just a habit
when I reach to the packet
for my last cigarette
until the day breaks
and then my hand shakes
but it it's just driving me insane
when the smoke gets in my brain
I can't resist it
Night ShiftOnly at night time-I see you
in darkness-I feel you
A bride by my side-I'm inside many brides Sometimes I wonder......
What goes on in your mind, always silent and kind unlike the others......
Fuck the mothers kill the others
Fuck the others kill the mothers
I'll put it out of my mind because...... I'm out of my mind with you
in heaven and hell with you......
ObsessionDo you hear this breath its an obsessive breath
Can you feel this beat its an obsessive heart beat
Waiting to be joined with its obsession
I close my eyes but I cant sleep
The thin membrane cant veil
The branded picture of you
Oh, BabyThe cracks in the ground grin up at me
even the creases in my shoes smile up at me
Thought it would end in tragedy
but I'm swimming around in your glory
O Baby O maybe
I'm the lost and found
Look at the stars they're raining down
even these jewels want to kiss your crown
Ornaments Of GoldSilver couches to recline upon
And ornaments of gold
Silver moonbeams dance in fountains
Below shining citadels
Surrounded by silver gates ascending silver stairs
Eureka on angelic prayer wafts in and scents the air
With ornaments of gold
OvergroundGot to give up life in this netherworld
Got to go up to where the air is stale
And live a life of pleasantries
Mingle in the modern families
Overground--from abnormality
Overboard--for identity
Overground--for normality
Painted BirdOn lead poisoned wings, you try to sing
Freak beak shrieks are thrown at your confusing hue
The peacock screaming eyes show no mercy oh, oh no mercy
Painted bird, it's absurd
Just a tainted bird hurting their twisted nerve
Painted bird, it's absurd
paradise placeLook to the hills-now look at my face
Do you notice my eyes-are they in the right place?
There's a Mantovani backdrop-to pucker-up a tummy tuck
A voice soft as lint-mashed up with shades of pink
You can hide your genetics under drastic cosmetics
But this chameleon magic is renowned to be tragic
Look to the hills-now look at my face
Do you notice my eyes-are they in the right place?
Party's FallYour parties fall around you
Another night beckons to you
Your parties fall around you
Another night beckons to you
Shadows look as you resist the gloom
Faded hues issue forth and bloom
Peek-A-BooCreeping up the backstairs
Slinking into dark stalls
Shapeless and slumped in bath chairs
Furtive eyes peep out of holes
She has many guises
She'll do what you want her to
Playing dead and sweet submission
Playground TwistHanging....
Hanging from your daisy chains
Swinging in the trees
Running from your enemies
And falling on your knees
On your knees
Get down on your knees
Pointing BoneFrom the fury pit, a reek of misery
Like a trumpet groan, tornado moan
The splendor splits like a golden skin
He and the wizards cry like hummingbirds
In treasure glows, your weeping wings
And a slaughter grins, on a pleasure spike
Premature Burialthis catacomb compels me
corroding and inert
it weights and tries to pull me
must i resist or reassert?
the unchanged and the unchangeable
doing the zombierama
singing 'oh come and be like me
Pulled To BitsTongues are clacking words of one vision
One tiny incision and teeth are cracking
on thin air, on thin air
And teeth are cracking on thin air
Pulled to bits--in silence
left rotting on the ground
Slowly pulled to bits--in silence
Rawhead And Bloody BonesBad word
Or bad deed
Unpunished invites grief
Here's
Rawhead and Bloodybones
Reaching from
Dark cupboard
Red LightShe falls into frame
With a professional pout
But the Polaroid's ignite
Upon seeing their subject
And the aperture shuts
Too much exposure
Voyeur sucks into focus
Red Over White
The woods and the town
Covered in snow
All transformed to a fairytale
Like the fresh page of a book opened up
Ready
Waiting
Running townJust a step onto the street
An uncomfortable heat
Rattlers at your feet
In running town
Helter-skelter all a-swelter
The impetus is seething
In running town
ScarecrowHe trembles in the bitter wind
Until it's time for us to speak
Whilst others here are sleeping sound
I'll slip away by floorboard creak
Upon the hill he'll hear my secrets
Shock the colours to bleach inside
Whilst others there are sleeping sound
Sea BreezesI've been thinking now for a long time
How to go my own separate way
It's a shame to think about yesterday
It's a shame, a shame, a shame, a shame
We've been running 'round in our present state
Hoping help will come from above
But even angels there make the same mistakes
ShadowtimeThe voice asleep, the voice has vanished
From the top of the sky to the place below
Touch the surface and the mirror bends
Your words resound, out of control
Freeze into time now
Still inside yet doubt survives
She CrackedWhen she was sensitive she understood me
Well she understood you and me and things in 1943
She does all these things that I can't stand
I get jealous when she stays with another man
She cracked
I'm sad but I wont
She cracked
She's a Carnivalin the heart of the night
she smiles like mardi-gras
spinning in a dizzy haze
her circus head giggles
it's a friendly disease
catching colours from the air
Sick ChildAnd I know I never knew you
your mind your pain I will melt your winter tears
If you say you will
if you could say you will
Convalescing bruised I set my mind awake
dare to take another look
If you say you will
if you could say you will
Silly ThingAlone and left to ponder everything
alone and left to puzzle out all the pain
such a silly, silly, silly thing
you must catch it and cease it while you can
Accusations flying -- colliding cheek to cheek
button up your lip and think before you speak
Oh see him fly into a rage
Sin In My HeartSin in my heart......
sin in my heart flying like a dart
oh sin in my heart
It's beginning to start......
when you're lying like a tart
sin in my heart
when you grovel at my feet
SkinMink, seal and ermine
Smother fat women
I have a noble cause for skin
There's just too many of them
The only necessary cull
Curse the brain inside it's skull
Just a bitch in the manger to the balances of nature
SoftlySoftly into your broken veins
Softly into these broken dreams
Will you ever come home?
Will you ever be found?
Standing on shattered windowpane
Softly I whisper your name
Concealed in bedclothes of frosting cold
SpellboundFrom the cradle bars
comes a beckoning voice
it sends you spinning
you have no choice...
You hear laughter
cracking through the walls
it sends you spinning
StargazerBeen thinking how to escape?
This strait-jacket of constraint
Been thinking what can be wrong?
With feelings that long to belong
Stargazing me
In an upside down sea
Suburban Relapse 1978I'm sorry that I hit you
But my string snapped
I'm sorry I disturbed your cat-nap
But whilst finishing a chore
I asked myself "what for"
Then something snapped,
I had a relapse... A Suburban relapse
Supernatural ThingYour love, your love, your love,
Your love is a supernatural thing
Your love, your love, your love,
Your love is a supernatural thing
When we touch, it gives me some funny feeling in my brain
I'm so possessed by your love sometimes
I don't even know my name
When we kiss, you know you make me hot
Swimming HorsesFalling in your, falling in your in your arms
Fish on a line, learns to live on dry land
Thrown back again to drown
Kinder with poison
Then pushed down the well or a face burnt to hell
Feel the cruel stones breaking her bones
Dead before born
switchSwitch
Different Lives Shuffle(d) Lives
in different places into wrong categories
familiar problems cross the wires
same old faces and fuse humanities
Watch the muscles twitch
for a brand new switch...
Tearing apartI know it's all a game
I know they're all insane
I know it's all in vain
I know that I'm to blame
This tearing apart
I think we all should die
TenantSquatting on doorsteps -- following footsteps
Nocturnal habits are surveyed with interest
So we crawl into corners -- ignore any callers
And imagine our radiators clang for our neighbours
When we crawl on all fours -- upon the cushioned floor
Still they cling to the walls and knock on our doors
And the tendency for tenants is tenacity
The Ghost In YouYou awoke in a burning paperhouse
from the infinite fields
of dreamless sleep
You return to Tiannammen
an eyewitness in a shroud
to see them fall, feel them yield
reliving the terror of the crowd
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
The Killing JarDown where this ugly man
Seeks his sustenance
Down in the blue, midnight flare
A glass hand cuts through the water
Scything into his twisted roots
Then from his eyes
Spring fireflies
Breathing life
The Last Beat Of My HeartIn the sharp gust of love
My memory stirred
When time wreathed a rose
A garland of shame
Its thorn my only delight
War torn, afraid to speak
We dare to breathe
Majestic
The PassengerI am the passenger and I ride and I ride
I ride through the city's backsides
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah, the bright and hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight
I am the passenger
I stay under glass
The RaptureOh, pull on the rein and haul me in
Back to the start where eyes first blink to see
A flowing mane a cut-glass limb
And they're falling soaring so rhythmically
Oh, pull on the rein and haul me in back to the start
Rebirthed in ecstasy with cherubim and seraphic
When I was falling soaring so rhythmically
The Sweetest ChillHearing you in my sleep
Feeling you, your cadence seeps
Whispering in flashback
The specters of your memories
Fall in glistening showers
Such a tender descent
Intones this haunting lament
This UnrestThis unrest beats out my breath
Disconnected thoughts jangle in a mess
This unrest crucifies my chest
Without anesthetic it cuts
Through tumorous flesh
This unrest beats out my breath
Throw Them To The LionsCome and meet deliverance
Blind faith will set you free
Eat the hand that feeds the host
Easter man now bleed
A burning bush, a burning bower
Sitting pretty in your ivory tower
TrophyHeadhunters, headshrinkers and long distance runners
Dust gathers on momentos, dust gathers on proud moments
Young voices grow thick and old
The cheers are distant wearing thin
Take it to the wall
To be hung on the wall
To be viewed by all
Trust In MeOriginal artist: Song from Disney's "The Jungle Book"
by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman
Trust in me, just in me
Shut your eyes and trust in me
You can sleep safe and sound
Knowing I am around
Turn To StoneHigh above the sickle moon
All senseless thought slips and drowns
A place, a time gone out of mind
Reaction swims the opal tide
Oh ferry me down, leave well alone
Ferry me down, turn to stone
Ferry me down, leave well alone
Venus in FursShiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Voices And I'm hearing the whispers from my window
and I'm hearing something scratching on the inside
Could I feel the sea beckoning me
oh, could it be can I see?
Voices
on the air
Voices
on the air
Voodoo DollyShe's your little voodoo dolly
And she's gonna make you lazy
Like a little drum in your ear
Transfixes you to your fear
And now she's transfixed in your fear
And you know she's gonna stay there
Because her nails are deep in your hair
And she made you so ... unaware
We HungerA ravenous greed for a brood to feed
A lusting spawn on a weekend fawn
Do you hunger for this, hunger for this?
Sucking leaches feel the need
Sucking dry unsated stomach pops
Sharpened knives, oh, with flying sparks
Sagging bodies with stretch marks
сhristineShe tries not to shatter, Kaleidoscope style
Personality changes behind her red smile
Every new problem brings a stranger inside
Helplessly forcing one more new disguise
