lyrics

The tap still drips.
The cactus dies
Consciences bounce off satellites
The spider still hangs inside the brass church bell
Because the flies are attracted to the blood of Christ
Still talk with a lisp,
Smoke 40 a day
Can’t think of what to say,
‘Til three days later
When the moments passed
Sailed into the sunset
Drunk at the wheel of the Mary Celeste
And your head
Falls off like a coconut

I was a prisoner
At the mercy of impossible dreams
My heart still screams for a human
Human being

Lost in your gaze,
King’s Cross station
Where boy meets girl
Clash of titans

Going thru the shredder

Positive equals negative
Life owes no favours and I ask for none
But I lost the battle for your funny looks
A torn out page in your history book
All the hairs on the back of my neck stand up
When I walk through the valley of your vampire love
Synchronized swimming with meaningless words
Cleverly disguised as the secret of the universe
Dying in the arms of a praying mantis
Hidden in the body of a Greek goddess

I was a prisoner
At the mercy of impossible dreams
My heart still screams for a human
Human being

Lost in your gaze
King’s Cross station
Where boy meets girl
Clash of titans

Going thru the shredder

If only they could speak
But no one heard their screams
Front London to eternity
Between this world and the next
You’ll never be eclipsed
From London to the unwritten

Lost in your gaze,
Kings cross station
Where boy meets girl
Clash of titans

Going thru the shredder
