| 1. | Dazzle | The stars that shine and 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 of tombstones A jamboree of surprises Playing Russian roulette Or the lucky dip A clenched fist to your heart Coal dust on your lungs Asilver tongue for the chosen one Heavy magnum in your side or awoody thorn Skating bullets on angel dust In a dead sea of fluidmercury baby piano cries Under your heavy index and thumb Pullsome strings - Let them sing Dazzle It's a glittering prize |
| 2. | We Hunger | A ravenous greed For a brood to feed A lusting spawn On a weekend fawn Do you hunger for this Sucking leaches feel the need Sucking dry unsated stomach pops Sharpened knives with flying sparks Sagging bodies with stretch marks & your belly aches Do you hunger for this Bled white with avarice As the rust creeps corrosion seeps a rotting seed Eat me - Feed me With your beltching foulbreath Your destructive kiss death The bliss of a sweet kiss Shanghai'd on a locust flight The thirst from a vampire bite Fillsthe emptiness inside Consuming everything green-eyed We hunger |
| 3. | Take Me Back | Deep in the heart Of a seething beast Think of bright eyes A splendid feast But something is missing She's feeling low Something's missing She's going home Take me back - I'm feeling low Takeme back - I'm going home Take me back - I'm so alone Take me back - I'm traveling home Suspicious stranger There's something wrong She is changed Ah but this is not She is back But she's not home She is back But she's still alone She came back after all this time She came back to warning signs All is black when the lights are on Nothing rhymes it's been so long Deep in the heart Ofa seething beast Think of bright lights A splendid feast Whereyou arrive Can be home Where you come from Isn't always home Take me back - I'm coming home Take me back - Where I belong Take me back - I'm leaving home Take me back - I'm coming home |
| 4. | Belladonna | Sunrise 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 skinbeckons us in O Belladonna Night fall's descent shrouds her intent In a halo of sharks and a skeleton mask O Belladonna Daylightdevours your unguarded hours Burnt and charred, this bride of scars O Belladonna Lost in the glare, all of us stare The patterns of pain, scream out your name O Belladonna |
| 5. | Swimming Horses | Falling in your, falling in your in your arms Fish on a line, learning to live on dryh poison Than pushed down a well - or a face burnt to hell Feelthe cruel stones breaking her bones Dead before ??? Words fallin ruins - but no sound She's dying of your shame - she maimed by your pain He gives birth to swimming horses Fish on a line, walking on dry land But back in the water to drown - we drown Floating in sky He gives birth to swimming horses Take a ride on thetide with the assasin at your side The weightlessness under water - forgets in slow motion And washes pointless tortures He gives birth to swimming horses Floating in sky like fishes Can flythrough your arms |
| 6. | Dear Prudence | Dear prudence Want to pcome out and play Dear prudence Greet thebrand new day The sun is up The sky is blue It's beautiful Andso are you Dear prudence Won't you come out to play Dear Prudence Open up your eyes Dear prudence See the sunny skies The wind is cold The birds are singing That you are part of everything Dear Prudence Won't you open up your eyes Look around... Dear prudence Let me see you smile Dear prudence Like a little child The clouds are deep A daisy chain So let me see A smile again Dear Prudence Won't you let me see you smile Dear prudence Won't you come out to play Dear prudence Greet the brand new day The sun isup The sky is blue It's beautiful And so are you Dear prudence Won't you come out to play Look around... |
| 7. | Bring Me The Head Of The Preacher Man | Following 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 Othe rotting sun washes down The moonshine boys the - the vultures drool They pluck the gold dust from his eyes And pick his bones until they're clean The book of sorrows - The American dreams Bring me the head of the preacher man On the blazing trail Heaven holds lonestar promise - El Dorado The insane theatre, once more we rise To dream the last of liquid sleep The gift of chance Eating the worm... the viper drops and dances And everything stops and dances Bring me the head of the preacher man We tumble down these lonely days We tumble down |
| 8. | Running Town | Just a step onto the street An uncomfortable heat Rattlers at your feet In running town Helter skelter all a-swelters The impetus is seething In running town A thousand curses Full speed ahead Lockjaw aggression And buzzing imitations Deride the friendly martian In running town Helter skelter all a-swelter The impetusis seething In running town A thousand curses Full speed ahead If you gaze into her face She'll glare back and drown All refugees in the sea of Running town A thousand curses Full speed ahead Laughter rebounds and strangles That sound in runing town |
| 9. | Pointing Bone | From the fury pit, a reek of misery Like a trumpet groan, tornado moan The splendor splits like a golden skin He and the wizardscry like humming birds In treasure glows, your weeping wings And a slaughter grins, on a pleasure spike When held high by the riverside Like a torn-throat child In a jackals hide Cool water dies, vile diamond eyes Silent in flamingo ease Distant in troubled trance Within a whirlpool, we're breaking our backs The tearsof the moon The sweat of the sun Sacraficial hearts for a pointing bone With a gorgon's head amd a coal of skulls They're kindling fires on open wounds Pointing bone In a jaguar skin, blood matted mane Beacons blaze toward a waning moon |
| 10. | Blow The House Down | Weaving in his basket chair Twist you round a lock of hair Madeof straw - The wicker man Made of straw - I'll blow your house down Bishops falling from the windows The lightning makes your hair stand on end This dervish frenzy will make you run around This dervish frenzy will turn your head around Blow the house down Stretching a rubber band miracles trip our feet Where we stand Shift the ground - Caterpillar man Crumbing castles in the sand Blow the house down Feebly we put our heads out of our foxy laire We feel the chill from the night scare Standing in the storm -waiting for the flash to crash Counting seconds before we turn to ash It's getting nearer Blow the house down This dervish frenzy will turn your head around Standing on the stairs that want tofall down It's getting nearer don't turn your head around Madeof straw A lighted match Burn the house down Turn your head around Pillars of salt watch as it all burns down Down to the ground Blow the house down |
