The sun-slapped southern son
Asked eleven questions
Answered all but one
Shuffled his knuckles
He was bone-tired wild
Been on the run
Ever since he was a child
Perhaps it was the boredom
Or maybe it was the tan
That drew her so quickly
To the strange man
He felt her spark from across the room
The last flaming light
In a dying saloon
Her lipstick kicked loudly
While inside she rubbed bored
She’d heard of the man
Who could never keep his word
Perhaps it was the boredom
Or maybe it was the tan
That drew her so quickly
To the strange man
And maybe it was her lips
Or the fulness of her wit
That drew him so fatefully
To take that twisted sip

Nature is Dead

Heard someone say
Nature is dead
Maybe it’s the toxic fumes
Gone to their head
Either way I smell gas
Or is it the cinder
Of too many years
Of indifference gone past?
Strike while the iron is hot
Give all the love you’ve got
Cos there’s just some things
That can’t be fixed by a robot
I heard someone say
That Nature is dead
Maybe it’s the toxic few
Who bit from the hand
That kept them fed
Strike while the iron is hot
Give all the love you’ve got
Cos there’s just some things
That can’t be fixed by a robot
Heard someone say
Nature is dead
Maybe the toxic fumes
Have gone to their head
Either way I’m filled with dread
Artificial solutions
To our careless pollution
Don’t they know some things
Are damn sacred?
Strike while the iron is hot
Give all the love you’ve got
Cos there’s just some things
That can’t be fixed by a robot

Goblin Shark

She stared at the line between sky and sea
And asked me
What am I to do today?
What will I achieve?
For I may never leave a lasting legacy
But still I will live
This life given to me
The awkward burden of what to do
When you feel the flat face of time
Watching over you
She asked how many years it would take
For her spirit to disintegrate
She whispers to unknown ears
What will come of us in a thousand years?
The awkward burden of what to do
When you feel the flat face of time
Watching over you
She said if I listened to these ferns unfurling whispers
Would they tell me of all they’ve witnessed?
There’s something bigger than us
I wonder how long the sea has existed
If I drink it will I know?
There’s something bigger than us
And if we’re plunging for coal
Where will the Goblin Sharks go?
Where will the Goblin Sharks go?
The awkward burden of what to do
When you feel the flat face of time
Watching over you

Glass Ceilings

I’ve taken the hit
But I kind of just accepted it
I’ve reached a glass ceiling
It’s giving me a funny feeling
When will I get over it?
I’ve stopped wanting you
To listen to what I say
Cos when I try to speak
You turn and look away
But my silence won’t be
The price I pay to keep you around
Cos you’re tomorrow’s yesterday
You tell me honey, it ain’t you
It’s just I don’t want to commit
Though my heart drags
My mind’s aware there’s more out there
It’s time to ditch this
I’ve stopped wanting you
To listen to what I say
Cos when I try to speak
You turn and look away
But my silence won’t be
The price I pay to keep you around
Cos you’re tomorrow’s yesterday

Le Vertige (chaque jour)
02:35
|

Chaque jour je t’aime plus
Mais quand je dors
J’imagine la vie sans toi
La folie prend mon corps
Sorry, if I take it out on you
Chaque jour je t’aime plus
Mais dans mes rêves
Tu es parti
Je suis seul dans notre lit
Don’t s’pose you’d miss me?
Chaque jour je t’aime plus
Mais quand je me réveille
Je sens les rayons du soleil
Je regarde ton visage
A le recherche des indices
Que les images de la nuit
Etaient fausse
Yes, I’m sorry again for questioning you
What’s a madame to do?
