The body is wrapped in shadow
The face is built of cinders And panic tears thro' your silhouette As you're squeezed by burning fingers And he crackling in our colours With teeth of gelignite When he sighs his song and pirouettes Thro' a dance of dynamite We are fireworks - slowly, glowing Bold and bright We are fireworks - burning shapes Into the night His fuel is our frustration And dreams begin to ache And all the while we wear a party smile And happily we shiver And happily we shake Oh shake, shake, shake We are fireworks - slowly, glowing Bold and bright We are fireworks - burning shapes Into the night Twist and turn - burn, burn, burn Twist and turn - burn, baby, burn |

Get your head down to the ground
Shake it all around -- a dirty sound Put your knees into your face And see if you can race -- real slow It's a slowdive -- when you die slow Oh it's a low jive -- do the slowdive Now you jump back like a hound Emit a howling sound Dig those limbs into the floor And holler out for more And you revel in the dips When your backbone slips Taking honeysuckle sips From your rolling hips It shifts and it shifts It's a slowdive -- when you die slow When you come alive it's a low jive Do the slowdive |

Falling in your, falling in your in your arms
Fish on a line, learns to live on dry land Thrown back again to drown Kinder with poison Then pushed down the well or a face burnt to hell Feel the cruel stones breaking her bones Dead before born Words fall in ruins -- but no sound She's dying of your shame -- she's maimed by your pain He gives birth to swimming horses Fish on a line, walking on dry land But back in the water to drown -- we drown Floating in sky He gives birth to swimming horses Take a ride on the tide with the assassin at your side the weightlessness under water -- forgets in slow motion And watches pointless tortures He gives birth to swimming horses Floating in sky like fishes can fly through your arms |

The stars that shine and the stars that shrink
In the face of stagnation the water runs Before your eyes... Swallowing diamonds A cutting throat Your teeth when you grin Reflecting beams on tombstones A jamboree of surprises Playing Russian roulette Or the Lucky Dip A clenched fist to your heart Coal dust on your lungs A silver tongue for the chosen one Heavy magnum in your side or a bloody thorn Skating bullets on angel dust In a dead sea of fluid mercury Baby piano cries Under your heavy index & thumb Pull some strings -- let them sing The stars that shine and the stars that shrink In the face of stagnation the water runs Before your eyes... Dazzle -- It's a glittering prize Before your eyes... It's a glittering prize... |

Got to give up life in this netherworld
Got to go up to where the air is stale And live a life of pleasantries Mingle in the modern families Overground--from abnormality Overboard--for identity Overground--for normality Overboard--for identity This limbo is no place To be a digit in another space In another crowd I'm nameless bound Overground--from abnormality Overboard--for identity Overground--for normality Overboard--for identity Overground--I'll be worse than me Overground--it's clear to me I'll be worse than me |

Water was running, children were running
You were running out of time Under the mountain, a golden fountain Were you praying at the Lares shrine? But oh your city lies in dust, my friend We found you hiding -- we found you lying Choking on the dirt and sand Your former glories and all the stories Dragged and washed with eager hands But oh your city lies in dust, my friend Hot and burning -- in your nostrils Pouring down your gaping mouth Your molten bodies -- blanket of cinders Caught in the throes... And oh your city lies in dust |

I am the passenger
And I ride and I ride I ride through the city's backside I see the stars come out of the sky Yeah the bright and hollow sky You know it looks so good tonight I am the passenger I stay under glass I look through my window so bright I see the stars come out tonight I see the bright and hollow sky Over the city's ripped backside And everything looks good tonight Singing... Get into the car We'll be the passenger We'll ride through the city tonight We'll see the city's ripped backsides We'll see the bright and hollow sky we'll see the stars that shine so bright Stars made for us tonight Oh the passenger How how he rides Oh the passenger He rides and he rides He looks through his window What does he see He sees the sign and hollow sky He sees the stars come out tonight He sees the city's ripped backsides He sees the winding ocean drive And everything was made for you and me All of it was made for you and me 'Cause it just belongs to you and me So lets take a ride and see what's mine Singing... Oh the passenger He rides and he rides He sees things from under glass He looks through his window side He sees things he knows are his He sees the bright and hollow sky He sees the city sleep at night He sees the stars are out tonight And all of it is yours and mine And all of it is yours and mine So lets ride and ride and ride and ride Singing... |

Down where this ugly man
Seeks his sustenance Down in the blue, midnight flare A glass hand cuts through the water Scything into his twisted roots Then from his eyes Spring fireflies Breathing life Into a roaring disguise Needles and sins, sins and needles He's gasping for air In the wishing well Dust to rust, ashes on gashes Hand around the killing jar A soft hoodwink of shadows The size of make-believe Punching through his spike of rage A glass hand cuts through the water Snuffing out the magic fury Then from inside Bolt lightning cries Swiftly crushed The final, muffled sighs Needles and Sins, Sins and Needles He's gasping for air In the wishing well Dust to rust, ashes on gashes Hand around the killing jar Hand around the killing jar |

In the sharp gust of love
My memory stirred When time wreathed a rose A garland of shame It's thorn my only delight War-torn, afraid to speak We dare to breathe Majestic Imperial A bridge of sighs Solitude sails In a wave of forgiveness On angels' wings Reach out your hands Don't turn your back Don't walk away How in the world Can I wish for this? Never to be torn apart Close to you 'Til the last beat Of my heart At the close of day The sunset cloaks These words in shadowplay Here and now, long and loud My heart cries out And the naked bone of an echo says Don't walk away Reach out your hands I'm just a step away How in the world Can I wish for this? Never to be torn apart Close to you 'Til the last beat Of my heart How in the world Can I wish for this? Never to be torn apart 'Til the last beat 'Til the last fleeting beat Of my heart |

It glittered, and it gleamed
For the arriving beauty queen A ring, and a car Now you're the prettiest by far No party she'd not attend No invitation she wouldn't send Transfixed by the inner sound Of your promise to be found Nothing or no one Will ever make me let you down Kiss them for me, I may be delayed Kiss them for me, if I am delayed It's divoon, oh it's serene In the fountain's pink champagne Someone carving, their devotion In the heart shaped pool of fame Nothing or no one Will ever make me let you down Kiss them for me, I may be delayed Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed On the road, to New Orleans A spray of stars hit the screen As the 10th impact shimmered The forbidden candles beamed Kiss them for me, I may be delayed Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed Kiss them for me, I may be delayed Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed |

The voice asleep, the voice has vanished
From the top of the sky to the place below Touch the surface and the mirror bends Your words resound, out of control Freeze into time now Still inside yet doubt survives It all begins beneath the skin No-one is near, no-one will hear Your changeling song takes shape In Shadowtime Turn your wish to a vapour, the silhouette fades Eclipse your blue eyes and the outline remains From the house of the moon to the stars up above Amidst the comets, first sight of love So begin the countdown Falling sky, a solar sigh It all begins beneath the skin No-one is near, no-one will hear Your changeling song takes shape In Shadowtime Shadowtime Catching fire, taking hold All that glisters leaves you cold No-one is near, no-one will hear Your changeling song takes shape In Shadowtime Shadowtime |

Face to face -- my lovely foe
Mouth to mouth -- raining heaven's blows Hand on heart -- tic tac toe Under the stars -- naked as we flow Cheek to cheek -- the bitter sweet Commit your crime in your deadly time It's too divine -- I want to bend I want this bliss, awww, but something says I must resist Another life -- another time We're Siamese twins writhing intertwined Face to face -- no telling lies The masks they slide to reveal a new disguise You never can win -- it's the state I'm in This danger thrills and my conflict kills They say follow your heart -- follow it through But how can you -- when it's split in two? And you'll never know You'll never know One more kiss -- before we die Face to face -- and dream of flying Who are you? -- who am I? Wind in wings -- two angels falling To die like this -- with a last kiss It's falsehood's flame -- it's a crying shame Face to face -- the passions breathe I hate to stay...but then I hate to leave And you'll never know No, you'll never know No, no You'll never know You'll never know You'll never know You'll never know |
