Cracks
03:05

When cracks appear
on a crystal clear
rivers are born
enshroud the sphere
Fools fall in love
When clocks make up their minds
decide to play with time
Tarnished hearts
are cured and brought
To fools that fall in love
Cracks
Dark diamonds shift in the sky
where tired dreamers lie
Spick and span
The night is grand
When fools fall in love
Cracks

Feelin’ kind of dizzy at the giddiness of destruction
And I’m not prepared to face up with another inquisition
There’s a place where you go where there’s so much information
That will blow your mind with cerebral conflagration
After I recovered from a gubernatorial coma
They soaked me up with benzene and I cherished her aroma
I refused to reveal my centrifugal dominations
So they blazed me down another cauterization
Make the morning benediction
In the fossil laden plain
At the giddiness of destruction
Let the spirit pass this way
Blind justice laid her arsenal upon her children’s breed
But the maze of every troubled is comin’ down on wicked speed
Bury this, bury that, bury everything that moves
That’s the way of life at the giddiness of destruction
Make the morning benediction
In the fossil laden plain
At the giddiness of destruction
Let the spirit pass this way

Daybreak

Don’t fear my fever anymore
only I am to die alone
The frankincense of her legs
leaves me horny and not wanting less
Daybreak ain’t nothin’ gonna change
Unless you shine today
The gore shall never change
Just keep on shinin’ today
Touch my soggy forehead please
life parting rapidly
Sense my dying sensory
strained memory vanishing
Daybreak ain’t nothin’ gonna change
Unless you shine today
The gore shall never change
Just keep on shinin’ today
In the pillow where you lie
Ain’t nobody gonna take my time
Subcutaneous coldness rise
trapped inside this body of mine
You and villagers unify
I must say it’s the daybreak of your prime
Daybreak ain’t nothin’ gonna change
Unless you shine today
The gore shall never change
Just keep on shinin’ today

Lydian Girl
04:04

Setting sun shines red on still waters
and the people enjoy the rest of the day
Concerned, she cups her eyebrows and sees a storm
advancing from far away
She’s done working at gas station 505
that hypethral edifice at Harmony Drive
Deep inside her a humming is foretelling
a tragedy soon to unfurl
Sweat on your temple impearls
How I love you pretty Lydian girl
Sobriety in oblivion world
How I love you pretty Lydian girl
Lydian girl
Swiftly she runs to the port authority
to tell them of the tempest at hand
A cruise ship filled with hundreds of people
will be gone like a keep in the sand
First they listen, then they ignore her
and finally they ask her to leave
Outside she envisions a deus ex machina
of a giant angel roller at sea
Sweat on your temple impearls
How I love you pretty Lydian girl
Sobriety in oblivion world
How I love you pretty Lydian girl
Lydian girl
Angel roller calms troubled water
For the cruise ship to sail safely over

I petitioned and I drove ahead
Left the stall with an unmade bed
A frail position was all I had and it made sad
But they caught me down Highway 1
Derailed my car and I lost my track
They pulled me over and they took my crack, yes they bust my back
God, I’ll die up here
On my own
Only petition will save us
A friendly ear that knows how to listen, now
Lying folded on the open road
A sack of bones with a missing load
I bemoaned for my tribulations and I damned the nation
Above the havoc saw the man upstairs
Addressed his greatness and I made my prayers
He said: “Son, go find a friend to unbosom yourself to”
God, I’ll die up here
On my own
Only petition will save us
A friendly ear that knows how to listen, now

Mantelpiece

Make my dust into a photograph
put it on your mantelpiece
Never forget that it has found its place
it's happy to be where it is
Amongst your prizes and your finery
On a pedestal for all to see
Put me on your mantelpiece
On a pedestal for all to see
Put me on your mantelpiece
Soft rain on the windowpane
White Lady you reside
on Beeford Straight?
brave man open the gate
Inside Ogmore Castle
Where the Lady waits
White-clad, not so old
To be loved that’s what we’re told
Mantelpiece!
More soft rain on the window pane
and the population heard its strains
Ministrations of the household maid
drew attention on the dust displayed
with a duster wiped it all away
removing the picture frame
Put me on your mantelpiece
On a pedestal for all to see
Put me on your mantelpiece
No reason to immiserate
Speak in tongues with malisons of hate
We can mend this broken place
for it seems its not too late yet
Bleach the dirty beds and wash the floors
Open up the windows and the doors
Let the wind come in and drive away the hellion
Mantelpiece!

Sail Away

Travel slow, travel fast
This old ocean baby was a-meant to last
Meant to last now baby, meant to last
Travel slow now baby, travel fast
But they show us no respect
Those hateful minions of the crib salute
Man-babies get outta my way!
Get outta my way!
Sail away, my love, sail away
Oh, oumtsi, oumtsi, oumtsi, come now baby
I believe in the power, the ocean of love
Sail away, my love, sail away

My Scar Is Only Certain
04:17

If you need some piece of action
A sudden thrust, a mutual traction, call me
It's my specialty
Maybe if we’re not uneven
and every mouthed word was given away
I’ll tell you what we’ll we do
You’ll bang the tambourine
and I’ll procure your every need
You’ll bang the tambourine
Lord, lord you’ll bang it mean
Didn’t you know my scar is only certain
So stop hiding behind your curtain
Reveal your best scars to me
You keeps on bangin’ that tambourine
Let me find out what it means to you
I though I knew
I plead shameless before your figure
Couldn’t seduce you but you kept on lingering
So I’ll tell you one more thing
You’ll bang the tambourine
and I’ll procure your every need
You’ll bang the tambourine
Lord, lord you’ll bang it mean
Didn’t you know my scar is only certain
So stop hiding behind your curtain
Reveal your best scars to me
Fingers tenderly applied
Upon the beast of burden
Beast of burden
Don’t you know that
my scar is certain

My Violent Ways
03:18
|

|
Waking up and my first thought is punching the wall
Want to scream but my skin feels like some stranglehold
Dream of being with you by the ocean
To harness my violent ways
Halls of anger become all the streets in my way
‘Bout to break is the thin coat that keeps war at bay
Dream of being with you by the ocean
To harness my violent ways
My keep the balance between my calm and my rage
They say men are kept civil by fear of the cage
But this bedlam inside is much worse than the chains
