Mercury Rev - Yourself Is Stream (1991) by Mercury Rev (보컬) on maniadb.com

Those seducers [4x]
bombed out lovers, gallant red flocks of mellow seducers, fine [find?] eager seekers, deep deef down
beautiful lines from above and we're all a-glow
raise her head and things get warm, hold on to its leg, before it flies away
sun lit walks, I feel no harm, my primitive words match my primitive heart [hide?]

it's not as easy as it may seem, remember that yourself is steam

[chorus] and of course it don't mind, chasing a bee inside a jar [x2]

Then like sheep led to sacrifial slaughter, they don't mind, but they oughta, all the time (they oughta)
their pretty shells are so inviting, well protected
their eyes are rivers, they give me shivers

[chorus]

it's not time for the real life [live?] sign, it's not time for these fears of mine [x2]
i'm feeling troubled, i'm feeling trapped, can't shake that bubble off my back



it's not as easy as it may seem, remember that yourself is steam [x2]

it's not time for the real life sign, it's not time for these fears of mine
i'm feeling troubled, i'm feeling trapped, can't shake that bubble off my back
i feel no harm, i feel no harm, ...feel no harm

[chorus]

its not as easy as it may seem, remember that yourself is steam

what once was lost will never be found, keep spinning in circles until you break new ground

so you come dripping from the hive
glittering as you arrive
high half as long and twice as bright
see you burning from both sides (from both sides)
see you burning from both sides (from both sides)

you come slipping down the slide
dragging me by your side
phony colors in your eyes
soul's obscene but I don't mind (I don't mind)
you're so obscene but I don't mind (don't mind)
yea yea yea yea yea yea

you come whipping through my life
flipping out like some old wife
your syringe mouth is open wide
you go insane I go inside

No, I won't chicken out
Hey, wait, babe
Wait up now
Hey babe, wait up now
If we could find a space

Where we could both stretch out
Roll like Coney island cyclones
No, I won't chicken out
No, I won't chicken out

No doubt babe
No doubt now
No doubt babe
No doubt now

I spend all day
On your mom's couch
Spend all night
And I won't chicken out

No, I won't chicken out
Let's go out tonight
Find a sunny space
Picking up the skylab

Throw it back in space
No, I won't chicken out (I'm not messing with you)
No, I won't chicken out (I'm not messing with you)
No, I won't chicken out (I'm not messing with you)
No, I won't chicken out (I'm not messing with you)

I see blue
I see black
I see you
In a crack

I see snow [icy snow?]
I see cold [icy cold?]
I see someone
Getting old

and it's cold outside
so cold outside

I need pink
I need green
I need someone
Who sews up seams

I need everything

But it's cold outside
So cold outside

I see all the colors of the spring
I see you wearing my ring

And it's warmer outside
It's so much warmer outside

and it's warmer

Still you're there

I see you
in a crack
crack...
crack...
I will crack

I've seen you eat away
slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine*
I've seen you chisel away
slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine

and you wonder why I leave so soon
how I get so high sink to the bottom of your room

I've seen you fritter away
slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine
I've seen you whittle away
slow as a glacier makes its way down to the spine

And you wonder why I leave so soon
how I get so high sink to the bottom of your room

I wonder why I stay
slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine
I've seen you eat away
slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine

I wonder what to do


slow as a glacier takes to move on through the world

And you wonder why I leave so soon
how I get so high sink to the bottom of your room

And you wonder why I leave so soon
how I get so high sink to the bottom of your room

I've seen you chisel away
Hammer in place always in time
I've seen you chisel away
slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine

And you wonder why I leave so soon
how I get so high sink to the bottom of your room

I sensed a new scent
So innocent and bent.
I sense a new scent that's innocent and spent.
I feel good. Not so good.
