about

First released tune from the forthcoming Marveline album, Savoury-Toothed Tiger.

lyrics

The poison food is free, the poison drinks are free
There's a clanking, whirring death-knell where my heart-beat 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 are 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, 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 our lights again.

Criminal, subliminal death machine
Positively, definitely the best you've ever seen
