Gonna Get Myself A Demon
03:04
|
|||
Got the smirk got the suit, got the church with all the loot, oh Lord
You sing, you pray and you cry, all the tongues you speak in lie, you fraud
In your Bizarro world, I’m the one who’s bound for Hell,
My Demon’s well-trained, he’s got nothing on his brain but you
Filthy teeth, glowing eyes, Darko rabbit wants your life oh yeah!
As you writhe on the bed, with his claws inside your head, oh yeah.
You’re crazy if you’re thinking, you’re getting safely out of here.
By the look on his face, he’s got a special place for you.
That Demon, he’s got soul
That Demon, he’s got souls
Wants to collect them all,
That Demon, he’s got souls.
Got fake faith, got fake love you pretend is from above, amen.
I see no love in your eyes, you’re fucking full of alibis, my friend.
You’re crazy if you’re thinking, you’re getting safely out of here.
He comes from the fire, he’s got such a strong desire for you.
He’s coming for you
Crazy if you’re thinking….

Turpentine
03:02
|

She makes the colours up they run like children everywhere
If I’m allowed I’ll sit and watch them playing in her hair.
The patterns on the ceiling, the rhythms of her breathing
Makes the difference to me, I’m always where I should be.
My turpentine, I’m here, she’s mine
My turpentine
She comes a-walking down, I feel it in my blood and bone
She comes determined to get all those feelings down
When the hate is running, when the crazy’s coming
Makes no difference to us, here in our universe
My turpentine, I’m here, she’s mine
My turpentine
When the hate is running, when the crazy’s coming
Makes no difference to us, we’ve got our universe
My turpentine, I’m here, she’s mine
My turpentine, I’m losing time
My turpentine

Bright Lights Of Despair
03:15
|
|||
The poison food is free, the poison drinks are free
There’s a clanking, whirring death-knell where my heartbeat used to be
The bright lights of despair, keep the prisoners in their chairs
Desperation in the air, the aroma of nightmares.
My fellow zombies ride, I think this one has died
The ashtrays may have gone but we’re all black inside.
Criminal, subliminal death machine
Positively, definitely the best you’ve ever seen
Painted violence, envy and greed
Criminal, subliminal death machine
Favourite dope of mine, the flashing, glowing lines
I hate myself, I love myself, I’ll be drinking nothing but top-shelf.
Criminal, subliminal death machine
Positively, definitely the best you’ve ever seen
Painted violence, envy and greed
Criminal, subliminal death machine
I came at 5 o’clock, I left at 5 o’clock
I think I lost my house while the sun went round the block
Buzzing and flying, rewiring my brain
Au revoir my love until I see your lights again
Criminal, subliminal death machine
Positively, definitely the best you’ve ever seen

Another Perfect Day
04:04
|
|||
There’s something sweet and something deep abut falling off the wagon
And there beneath my own two feet, the shadow that I’m always draggin’
The fox said “sweet, there will be meat, when the sun takes him”
The vulture smiled the flight worthwhile, but they’re both mistaken.
It’s dry for miles and miles, can’t see the way
Another perfect day
My mirage runs my life, it keeps my eyes in line
I see you hiding there, where hope meets the horizon
I sighed and gave it up, pride leaks away
Another perfect day
The killer bees fly at me, they sleep only to rob again
I offer them something sweet, and that keeps them in their place.
This heat is not my style, the wind has whispered for a while
I heard it say, ‘you know you have to pay
For a perfect day
For a perfect day

Made Of Stars
03:48
|
|||
We’re all made of stars, so I know what you are and I like it
We’re all elements, spun around, slightly bent and I like it
Yeah I like it
It’s the distance that you shine, like those forges in the sky
If your heat’s too close to me, don’t know how I will survive.
Re-awakened by all the colours that you sigh
Who wouldn’t want to try burning in your light?
We’re all made of stars, so I know what you are and I like it
We’re all elements, spun around, slightly bent and I like it
Yeah I like it
All the spectrums we can see, all the others in between
Ancient poets got it right, glowing goddess of the night
And I’m taken by, golden glory in your eyes
Green and grey caress, those engines never rest
Nothing happens it keeps happening
Did I imagine I was someone?
Nothing happens it keeps happening
They hit you where it hurts,
Hit you where it hurts
Hit you where it hurts
We’re all made of stars, so I know what you are and I like it
We’re all elements, spun around, slightly bent and I like it
Yeah I like it

Monkey Mind
03:44
|
|||
Try to keep it simple I’m not the Brainiac I used to be
I think I am devolving to that little creature jumping inside me
If man is monkey and monkey man, mine is coming out to shake the tree.
Shiny things distract me all the time
Why can’t I control this monkey mind?
Mr Darwin take a bow, you’ve shown me how my brain got in this mess
I like to think that I’m evolving, some days all I do is regress
We can do amazing things, still we need to beat our hairy chests
Can’t sit still I’m climbing all the time
Why can’t I control this monkey mind
I need him, I need Mr Monkey
You can send him into space
He won’t escape this crazy race
I need him, I feed him
He is a hopeless case a total waste of space
I teach him to reach him
Be all that I can be when the monkey sets me free

How Green The Grass
03:35
|
|||
Mother Nature spare her, I can't live without her
She only went out for a smoke, said "I may be some time"
I kept the water boiling,
If anything should happen, I'm coming after you
Crucified, I'm crucified, strange pain in my side
I don't sleep enough to get to the good parts
You see the cracks I'm falling through
Practised all our lying, practised til we're blue
Why don't you climb in, we'll take them for another spin?
So green the grass that meets my feet (you better come here now)
So bright the sun shines on these
Father Time don't chase her, I need a little more please Sir,
The snow is falling faster, the tiles are turning black
I know I can find a way to turn the future back.
So green the grass that meets my feet (you better come here now)
So bright the sun shines on these
So sweet the path that takes me there
I meet the dark with all that is fair
All that is fair

Something Sweet
03:28
|
|||
The Savoury-Toothed Tiger loves to say:
No more shall he Rome, there is beauty in broken things,
But he had no right to break any
Well that's what you get when you keep pressing the devil's door-bell,
Not that he'd ever seen one.
What happens under the robe stays under the robe
And we trawl his dead-sea scrolls looking for wisdom
Where there is none
Malignant visitor to any boy's home, under threat of Hell
They fawn all over this Prince of Pain
The foulest stench in the whitest crypt you've ever seen.

In The Garden
03:09
|
|||
He’s sitting in the garden, guarding all the flowers
Finally found something useful again
He doesn’t need much money, just enough for beer and biscuits
He talks a lot of rubbish but he likes it anyway.
And he goes on, he goes on
On and on and on
He likes to get a token from another country
He’d never go there even if he had the chance to try
He likes to whine about those of whom he knows nothing
Like an empty barrel filled with echoes of hate
And he goes on, he goes on
On and on and on
The dogs are all that keep him from drifting right away
I swear I heard him weeping, but he’ll never let you say
“Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t you cry”
I’m sitting in the garden, guarding all the flowers
You never know who might come and take them all away.
He likes to whine about me, of whom he knows nothing
I never got the chance to say what you say
And I go on, I go on
On and on and on

Go To Sleep
02:42
|
|||
Go to sleep, your time is drawing near
Head to sheet, you'll get no pillows here
Favourite food, you'll get your favourite food
It's the least we can do, it's the most we will do.
It won't hurt us, we'll pretend it won't hurt us,
Of course it does, but we want revenge
Go to sleep, practise for when you go deep
So deep you can't see the surface.
Someone is free, yeah someone is free
But you will freeze in chemical fire
We're a God-fearing folk, and we live our lives in Heavenly-blessed enlightenment
Where we do certain things and we say certain things
And certainty brings us our peace
And doubt doesn't help, no you know doubt doesn't help
It certainly didn't help you.
So go to sleep, the dawns here are sweet
We'll send you to sleep
God pushes the plunger
