Wake up in the dark
The aftertaste of anger in the back of my mouth Spit it on the wall And cough some more And scrape my skin with razor blades Make up in the new blood And try to look so good Follow me Make up in the new blood And follow me to where the real fun is As stale and selfish as a sick dog Spurning sex like an animal of god I'll tear your red hair by the roots And hold you blazing Hold you cherished in the dead electric light Your face I'll never see you this way again I captured it so perfectly As if I knew you'd disappear away Shake dog shake You hit me again You howl and hit me again The same sharp pain Wakes me in the dark And cuts me from my throat to my pounding heart My heart My shaking heart Shake dog shake We slept all night in the virgin's bed And dreamed of death and breathed like sick dogs We slept all night in the virgin's bed And breathed like death and dreamed of sick dogs Shake dog shake Wake up wake up wake up Shake dog shake Wake up in the new blood Make up in the new blood Shake up in the new blood And follow me to where the real fun is Shake dog shake |

The innocence of sleeping children
Dressed in white and slowly dreaming Stops all time I slow my steps and start to blur So many years have filled my heart I never thought I'd say those words The further we go And older we grow The more we know The less we show The further we go And older we grow The more we know The less we show The very first time I saw your face I thought of a song And quickly changed the tune The very first time I touched your skin I thought of a story And rushed to reach the end too soon Oh, remember Oh, please don't change So the fall came Thirteen years A shiny ring and how I could forget your name The air no longer in my throat Another perfect lie is choked But it always feels the same So they close together Dressed in red and yellow Innocent forever Sleeping children in their blue soft rooms still dream The further we go And older we grow The more we know The less we show The further we go And older we grow The more we know The less we show |

All the faces
All the voices blur Change to one face Change to one voice Prepare yourself for bed The light seems bright And glares on white walls All the sounds of Charlotte sometimes Into the night with Charlotte sometimes Night after night she lay alone in bed Her eyes so open to the dark The streets all looked so strange They seemed so far away But Charlotte did not cry The people seemed so close Playing expressionless games The people seemed So close So many Other names... Sometimes I'm dreaming Where all the other people dance Sometimes I'm dreaming Charlotte sometimes Sometimes I'm dreaming Expressionless the trance Sometimes I'm dreaming So many different names Sometimes I'm dreaming The sounds all stay the same Sometimes I'm dreaming She hopes to open shadowed eyes On a different world Come to me Scared princess Charlotte sometimes On that bleak track (See the sun is gone again) The tears were pouring down her face She was crying and crying for a girl Who died so many years before... Sometimes I dream Where all the other people dance Sometimes I dream Charlotte sometimes Sometimes I dream The sounds all stay the same Sometimes I'm dreaming There are so many different names Sometimes I dream Sometimes I dream... Charlotte sometimes crying for herself Charlotte sometimes dreams a wall around herself But it's always with love With so much love it looks like Everything else Of Charlotte sometimes So far away Glass sealed and pretty Charlotte sometimes |

Creatures kissing in the rain
Shapeless in the dark again In the hanging garden please don't speak In the hanging garden no one sleeps In the hanging garden Catching haloes on the moon Gives my hands the shapes of angels In the heat of the night the animals scream In the heat of the night walking into a dream Fall fall fall fall into the walls Jump jump out of time Fall fall fall fall out of the sky Cover my face as the animals cry In the hanging garden Creatures kissing in the rain Shapeless in the dark again In a hanging garden change the past In a hanging garden wearing furs and masks Fall fall fall fall into the walls Jump jump out of time Fall fall fall fall out of the sky Cover my face as the animals die In the hanging garden As the animals die Cover my face as the animals die In the hanging garden |

Get away from me
Get your fingers out of my face This room's so hot This room's so hot I break the walls Get away from me Leave me alone Oh like the pig on the stairs Hangin' in a groovy purple shirt Gasping for air I'm gasping for air I'm gasping for love I'm gasping for air Slit the cats like cheese Then eat the sweet sticky things Suck harder suck harder Suck your insides insides out Blood thick swimming round your feet As you're choking choking Choking on the fleshy words Give me it give me it give me it Deaden my glassy mind Give me it give me it Make me blind One step back and one step down And slip the needles in my side My head is cold My hands are cold My heart is cold My heart is black And stops every fucking night Every night I wait until it stops Sing birds sing birds sing birds sing Get away Give me it |

I called you after midnight
Then ran until I burst I passed the howling woman And stood outside your door We walked around a lake And woke up in the rain And everyone turned over Troubled in their dreams again Visiting time is over And so we walk away And both play dead then cry out loud Why we always cry this way? I kissed you in the water And made your dry lips sing I saw you look Like a Japanese baby In an instant I remembered everything... I called you after midnight Then ran until my heart burst I passed the howling woman And stood outside your door I kissed you in the water And made your dry lips sing I saw you look Like a Japanese baby In an instant I remembered everything... |

It doesn't matter if we all die
Ambition in the back of a black car In a high building there is so much to do Going home time A story on the radio Something small falls out of your mouth and we laugh A prayer for something better A prayer for something better Please love me Meet my mother But the fear takes hold Creeping up the stairs in the dark Waiting for the death blow Stroking your hair as the patriots are shot Fighting for freedom on the television Sharing the world with slaughtered pigs Have we got everything She struggles to get away The pain and the creeping feeling A little black haired girl Waiting for Saturday The death of her father pushing her Pushing her white face into the mirror Aching inside me And turn me round Just like the old days Caressing an old man and painting a lifeless face Just a piece of new meat in a clean room The soldiers close in under a yellow moon All shadows and deliverance under a black flag A hundred years of blood Crimson the ribbon tightens round my throat I open my mouth and my head bursts open A sound like a tiger thrashing in the water Thrashing in the water Over and over we die one after the other Over and over we die one after the other One after the other It feels like a hundred years A hundred years |

Come closer and see
See into the trees Find the girl While you can Come closer and see See into the dark Just follow your eyes Just follow your eyes I hear her voice Calling my name The sound is deep In the dark I hear her voice And start to run Into the trees Into the trees Into the trees Suddenly I stop But I know it's too late I'm lost in a forest All alone The girl was never there It's always the same I'm running towards nothing Again and again and again |

10:15 on a Saturday night
And the tap drips under the strip light And I'm sitting in the kitchen sink And the tap drips Drip drip drip... Waiting for the telephone to ring And I'm wondering where she's been And I'm crying for yesterday And the tap drips Drip drip drip... It's always the same |

Standing on a beach
With a gun in my hand Staring at the sea Staring at the sand Staring down the barrel At the Arab on the ground See his open mouth But hear no sound I'm alive I'm dead I'm the stranger Killing an Arab I can turn and walk away Or I can fire the gun Staring at the sky Staring at the sun Whichever I choose It amounts to the same Absolutely nothing I'm alive I'm dead I'm the stranger Killing an Arab Feel the steel butt jump Smooth in my hand Staring at the sea Staring at the sand Staring at myself Reflected in the eyes of The dead man on the beach The dead man On the beach I'm alive I'm dead I'm the stranger Killing an Arab |
