Back in the days when one could still walk
barefoot round the town
I met a man, the likes of which
you'll never see
six foot and ten
and I'll say it again
a more luciferian creature
I had never seen, till then
He had a voice weak like a lady's breath
but he began to tell me why
the human race should meet its death
what I would hear
must have been damn near
what Jesus Christ or even Hitler'd say
if he was reborn here
Please do not scream
or leave your seats,
this is the situation:
We're going down
we're going down
I'm having trouble
trying to memorise your name
we're going down
we're going down
get drunk alone or rule the world,
it feels the same
My son, I must be brief
I'm being followed as we speak
my way of life is not too favoured
round these parts
but I won't repent
I only meant
to make them see that we are in for
one very long descent
Now that my time has come
it shall be you who is to sit
upon the head of our society
and pluck out what is left
have no fear, for the
day is near
when all mankind shall finally
lose the things that
they have held so dear

The Animal Song
05:56
|

|
Let me tell you a story
about my old friend
her name was Martha
she was a pig by trade
or at least that's what
I have been told
She lived way back then
in this old dirty barn
full of beautiful piggies
none unlike other
all waiting to be
eaten alive some day
Such is the life of an animal
leaving her pride, serving her time
to be served for a man
every day she's just a-gonna spend
waiting for some cannibal
to kill her to feed
To cut short all that boring
they all have just lied
it feels kinda corny
but little Martha has died
and I never even got to
know her right
And it saddens my mind
they held her no wake
she was so very kind
but all her bones they did take
alas! now she's long gone gone gone

Pair of Scissors
02:21
|
|||
|
Day one, stoned
the sun came up to me
from a well, hot as hell
why'd you have to make a scene
'cause we were both down there
we both saw him stare
in our eyes, no disguise
just the same crown of lies
Whoa
can't you see how they used me?
Turn and turn
you abused me
Whoa
can't you see you're gonna lose me?
Day after day
oh, they used a pair of scissors
Day two, stoned
the inquisition blues
ringing out, there's no doubt
it's the same old story
you were skinned and boned
didn't want to make a mess
but you were looking so pretty
in that gypsy dress
...you were looking so pretty
in that dress I never bought you
Whoa
can't you see how they used me?
Burn, witch, burn
you accused me
Whoa
can't you see you're gonna lose me?
Day after day
oh, they used a pair of scissors

But I Love You
03:12
|
|||
|
I'm the old beggarman dying in the sunlight
I'm abandoned watchdog feasting on the garbage
I'm the one-eyed alley cat sleeping in the gutter
I'm quite unlike anything you have never seen
But I love you
but I love you
I'm retired pocket thief, one-armed man repenting
I'm the no-good mischief, children going haywire
I'm the unthought art review, words without a meaning
I'm your lack of self-control, beauty torn to pieces
But I love you
but I love you
I'm the broken amplifier, records in the attic
I'm the double bass off tune, monkster playing Ming vase
I'm the 52nd street without any music
I'm the 1994 empty round in Seattle
But I love you
but I love you
I'm the dull-eyed loverboy without heart, incomplete
I'm the wine stain on your dress, haberdasher's nightmare
I'm the heathen wicker man, Christian in the furnace
I'm quite unlike anything you have never seen

Godless Glory
05:45
|
|||
|
Sitting here in godless glory
wearing the white-stripe blacks
convict so hollow, without gun
he is feeling the end draw nigh
Looking back in memory lane
soaking away in rain
I still remember days when he was young
I was madly in love with him
But anyway
Time rides on and on
it stops not for love
for murder in art
life goes on, it will not
falter for your deeds
Mouse in a cage, he looks at me
cannot escape the trap
although cunning in instincts, high on me
he's still going to eat the cheese

Shady Lady Killer
03:44
|
|||
|
She is so beautiful
like a devil on the run
in her red car
she is so very very very
very beautiful
she's walking down the street
smiling so carelessly over my way
I find myself looking looking
looking over her
She's the shady lady killer
she's the beautiful malady
she's the gasoline, I'm fire
she's the dancer in my pyre
she's the sweetest little liar
she's the fever getting higher
She's like a butterfly
you'll never grasp
before it's too late
then see her wings burning
burning into ashes
I first ask her gently
then find her eagerly
playing with food
she is the feline
shady shady lady killer
She's the shady lady killer
she's the beautiful malady
she's the gasoline, I'm fire
she's the dancer in my pyre
she's the sweetest little liar
she's the fever getting higher
She makes me paranoid
her soul full of shenanigans
towards all men
she'll wag my leash
and I go pee into her carpet
she carries on her own
and considers wedding gown
one big disgrace
she'll grab my ass
as we go dancing into night
She's the shady lady killer
she's the beautiful malady
she's the gasoline, I'm fire
she's the dancer in my pyre
she's the sweetest little liar
she's the fever getting higher

Don't blame me for this fire
they're building outside
don't think that I am crazy
don't think that I'm insane
ride with me
ride into the rain
into the mud
the dust
so colourful and wild
inside your mind
Watch my back, nothing much more to see
hang on to me, watch your back
I'll watch mine too
I ain't looking at you
no, I ain't looking at you
we've been through this before
I ain't looking at you
I ain't
I ain't
I ain't
I ain't
I ain't
I AIN'T
You make me go and hide
inside your mind
I've been ridin' all night
and I have been here before
again and again
I'll be forevermore
night on your hips, getting lost
you're beautiful beyond cost
I gotta throttle more
the morning's getting close
I wanna ride till the day is gone
I wanna ride the night for long
inside your mind
There's nothing left
but my love of God
though I fear Him not
in spite of my heart

Bad Face
04:03
|
|||
|
Bad Face, he grinned at me
Bad Face grinned at me from the ground
like all the Indian chiefs
he hadn't got much more to do
suddenly this voice inside
booms up like more than just a thought
must be the old man down there,
suppose he's trying to make a call
old man is trying to make a call
”I'm going to make it clear”,
Bad Face went on inside my mind,
”white boy, get vengeance for
what your ancestors did to me
and if you find it hard
to follow what I'm trying to say,
dig up them graveyard bones
dig up them bones so you can see
dig up them bones so you can see”
As a man of reason, I
trust not my blood, my brain instead
so of course I had some doubts
'bout all the things the old man said
and all in all, payback
sounds more like Muslim stuff to me
but saying no to an Indian chief
lecturing from beyond the grave?

Serpents' Court
04:33
|
|||
|
I cannot feel the shame
for this old addiction
try as I might, I can't
it remains consistent
I've been travelling far and wide
searching for that which
I don't want to find
on this side
I've been carrying it back and forth
round and round,
it revolves inside my mind
serpents' court
Lyin' in ground all day
in the sun, motionless
still staring at the viper's nest
trying to find solution

Paved in Gold
07:23
|
|||
|
The night, sand and stars
around me wept
good wine and my friend
insane me kept
four days in burning desert
have drained me from my strength
Flying from coast across the sea
dying unmarked in morning breeze
lying in ground, ”known but to God”
but eternal in fame
A man is walking down
a road that's paved in gold
he's smiling now
'cause winner takes it all
his shadows dance
on last light of the sun
the road is getting
far away from home
The war up in France
did take its toll
in his remembrance
this tale is told
of his glory
and times now passed
when pilots knew their plane
Far away from home
Far away
