lyrics

Ramsgate/Naoshima

Tears, little ribbons twisted running in the rai
When in pain, she says:
“it's neural, it's neural,
it's neural, it's neural,
it's neural, it's neural,
it's neural, it's neural
I cannot control, the things I do
No, I cannot control the things I do!
There are timeworn when I feel that everything around me’s real
But there are times when I feel where my body cannot feel
And I am nowhere near where I need to be."
So I say:
“Lay easy, for tomorrow we are free"
And in sleep we return to palace's of our own
But I remain afraid of where she finds herself in the morning

Well the tide is now King round here and he takes command of all!
At the wall below us, the young ones cease to be
And the world out there is a picture in the frame
Of sea and blue,
The Sea and The Blue,
The moving sea,
And The Blue

The Sky, the Sea, and The Blue
Like a Sugimoto,
Standing on the point in full view
A year ago-
February in the rain
That’s when I first heard The Ocean scream your name
But my ears are shot, so I don’t know if thats true
And if its is, anyway then what are we to do?

So what is left? What remains here for us two?
It’s the shred of a scent
It’s the Red, of the deepest darkest hue
Its the ghost ships in the the darkness,
It’s time arrow, that we can't undo
It’s the ridge-line in the mist,
The avalanche that’s due its fall
In the blackness of that room
Brings the Nothing,
Then the Revelation calls
The time and the silence,
Oh the waiting
Is the price for pay for all;
'til I'm pierced by The Archer:
Stretch, I am here to wait with you

So keep on hanging on, hanging in,
'til we have broken through
So keep on hanging on, hanging in,
'til we have broken through
So keep on hanging on, hanging in,
'til we have broken through
So keep on hanging on, hanging in,
'til we have broken through

The Killing Words London

My mind is an ashtray
Filled with coins-
But an ashtray nonetheless
Dreams of avarice, dreams
of returning to the fold. Dreams
of St. Francis of Assisi- out there all alone
Naked within the wilderness,
vision well-sprung bittersweet
bearing down on the bottom of the barrel-
But dreams of avarice nonetheless. ... more
