: Dangerous rhythm Dangerous rhythm Dangerous rhythm in the air Stranger to stranger We're both dressed for danger Something is generating here Oh, take off your halo For the all-night inferno Something is happening in the air It's not like anything I've ever known before And I don't care Surging and merging Urgent and urging Soft as a footstep on the stair The red light is on now My gravity's gone and how I can feel something in the air It's not like anything I've ever known before And I don't care ( twice and fade) |

My sex
Waits for me Like a mongrel waits Downwind on a tight rope leash My sex Is a fragile acrobat Sometimes I'm a novocaine shot Sometimes I'm an automat My sex Is often solo Sometimes it short circuits then Sometimes it's a golden glow My sex Is invested in Suburban photographs Skyscraper shadows on a carcrash overpass My sex Is savage, tender It wears no future faces Owns just random gender My sex Has a wanting wardrobe I still explore Of all the bodies I knew and those I want to know My sex Is a spark of electro flesh Leased from the tick of time And geared for synchromesh My sex Is an image lost in faded films A neon outline On a high-rise overspill My sex ( and fade) |

I found the bones of all your ghosts
Locked in the wishing well While birdsong gourmets dragged empty nets I slumbered in my shell In mitternacht, die mensch-maschine Kissed me on my eyes I rose and left the fire-ladies Glowing lonely in the night With all the pornographers Burning torches beneath the sea: I want to be a machine I want to be a machine I want to be a machine I want to be a machine I stole a cathode face from newscasts And a crumbling fugue of songs From the reservoir of video souls In the lakes beneath my tongue In flesh of ash and silent movies I walked at boulevards again A nebula of unfinished creatures From the lifetimes of my friends I hope your innocence has depraved me Broadcast me, scrambled clean Or free me from this flesh Let the armchair cannibals take their fill In every cell across wilderness We'll trip such a strangled tango We'll waltz a wonderland affair Let's run to meet the tide tomorrow Leave all emotion dying there In the star cold beyond all of your dreams Ah! |

Streets I knew were raining, changing
Addresses were rearranging The cold boy from the suburbs he left there He'd read the book of no return And me, I burnt your picture For the ashes of the lords For you had played your games too well As the martyr and the boss: I suppose I chose a good introduction From a formerly trusted friend A good introduction to life at rainbow's end Life at rainbow's end Life at rainbow's end Here I am a millionaire Sown into these dreams I burnt all the maps that lead here So no-one can ever follow me Only lonely parties start At the dark side of this world The gangster with the broken (?) arm Plays deaf cards for the girls I saw the final vicar make confession to a dancer He stood upon the bridge at dawn And the dancer kissed my cancer |

Enter me gently
I break in the light Cover my eyes With the rags of my life Was I dreaming? Or did you say The frontiers are falling It's time to be slipping away Let's slip away Let's slip away All things fall from me The bonds and the veils All things blow by me My sorrows have sails Was I dreaming? Or did you say The empires are fading It's time to be slipping away Let's slip away Let's slip away What am I to do? Don't leave me What is there to say? I really... We're just wasting time Let the night takes its place Colour my eyes With the dusk of this wonderful day Let's slip away Let's slip away Letters from lovers Are lining my grave Some came too early And some came too late Were you speaking? Or did I say The frontiers have fallen It's time to be slipping away As you call me My hands they fall open My mouth it is frozen The stumbles is I'm falling slowmotion Dissolve |

Somehow we drifted off too far
Communicate like distant stars Splintered voices down the 'phone The sunlit dust, the smell of roses drifts, oh no Someone waits behind the door Hiroshima mon amour Riding inter-city trains Dressed in European grey Riding out to echo beach A million memories in the trees and sands, oh no How can I ever let them go? Hiroshima mon amour Meet beneath the autumn lake Where only echoes penetrate Walk through polaroids of the past Future's fused like shattered glass, the sun's so low Turns our silhouettes to gold Hiroshima mon amour |

Sometimes I find I drift away
Behind a distant smile Light years ago I think someone spoke Quizzical glances behind cigarette smoke She drew the curtains at the end of the day And then we laughed because the room sailed away Fancy glitter in the summer arcades Then autumn leaves fall by a winter lane Piano echoes and the perfume still lingers But you fell through my fingers like sand With a distant smile A distant smile A distant smile Somehow I always seem to be Adrift in other times with a distant smile (???) the sound of the streets The city's glittering like diamonds in heat Our secret destination, touch down in the haze As the cameraman pans away Hey look, it's a long lost horizon Private oceans you can surface a sunrise in Hearts well ? dodging logic But nevertheless still permanently surprised Behind a distant smile A distant smile A distant smile Somehow I always seem to be Adrift in other times behind a distant smile You will see (?) |

Playing the game
With the chips on my shoulder Checking in the mirror As my coffee cup gets colder Stagger and swagger Combing my hair If tomorrow's not there Then at least today's all mine [Chorus] While I'm still alive While I'm still alive While I'm still alive Strutting my stuff I'm blagging the damage From coupling with headlines I was suckled on salvage The fighting's exciting The age is dramatic I'm crackling with static Just jiving to survive [Chorus] Take a stroll down the side roads, I know you want to A shock in the dark can be good for your heart, oh yeah [Chorus] Scuffling along On the crest of a wave Laughing and grafting Or jerking and working Striking a match Where life is a gas I need the flash To make it all worthwhile [Chorus] |

No reply
I'm trying hard to somehow frame a reply Pictures, I've got pictures, and I run them in my head When I can't sleep at night Looking out at the white world and the moon I feel a soft exchange taking place Merging with the people on the brains (?) Whirling my face in conversation Slow motion Slow motion Hush, can you feel the trees so far away? Hush, can you feel the breeze of another day? When we held each other close in the night While we wheeled away in our own light Stepping sideways into our own time Such a simple way Slow motion Slow motion - 간 주 중 - And we held each other close in the night While we wheeled away in our own light And some of us from another time And drifted away Slow motion Slow motion |

Waiting, we were waiting
As the traffic moved through all our hearts and our heads But things were different then For the quiet men Shifting, things were shifting Through the walls and hall, there were no walls at all For the quiet friends Of the quiet men Oh, the quiet men Oh, the quiet men Springtime, there was sunshine Through the window panes, down all the English lanes Where they walked again The quiet men Talking, they were talking Of the times to come, and all the time that's gone And they smiled again The quiet men Oh, the quiet men Oh, the quiet men - 연 주 중 - Listening, they were listening As the season changed and all the reasons changed And people came and went By the quiet men Walking, they were walking Through the rainy days, looking at all the faces But no-one ever noticed them The quiet men Oh Oh, the quiet men |

Talking in the window as the light fades
I heard my voice break just for a moment Talking by the window as the light fades I felt the floor change into an ocean We'll never leave here, never Let's stay in here forever And when the streets are quiet We'll walk out in the silence Listening to the movement that the night makes I let the room fade just for a moment Sitting in the shadows that the leaves make I felt the floor change into an ocean We'll never leave here, never Let's stay in here forever And when the streets are quiet We'll walk out in the silence Listening to the music the machines make I let my heart break just for a moment Listening to the music the machines make I felt the floor change into an ocean We'll never leave here never Let's stay in here for ever And when the streets are quiet We'll walk out in the silence |
