NEW BLUE KID
Shimmy shimmy hey hey don't look down
New Blue Kid walk into the sunrise
With your jellybean eyes. Tell me lies
Lunar Head welcome to the corner
With the 3d face. What a place
Look at us now see how we run
Oh the cyclones we go around in cyclones
New Blue Kid walk into the ceiling when you're reeling
With your headlights on. Count to one
Lunar face igniting like the flashes of the lightning
With the clouds in your head. Glide instead
Look at us now see how we run
Oh the cyclones we go around in cyclones
New Blue Kid walk into the sunrise
With your jellybean eyes. Tell me lies
Lunar Head welcome to the corner
With the 3d face. What a place
Look at us now see how we run
Oh the cyclones we go around in cyclones
Shimmy shimmy hey hey don't look down

UNKINDEST CUT
The thinnest dreams blossom in the spring
They say they've thought of everything
In her hands a discounted bouquet
The cage is locked, no turning away
She sees the violence in the hall
She sees the unkindest cut of all
Beneath the veil two wooden eyes
Stare into the last surprise
He shines his fists in anticipation
The chains are gleaming for the consummation
She sees the violence in the hall
She sees the unkindest cut of all
She sees the violence in the hall
She sees the unkindest cut of all

LONGER THAN THE DAY
Your sister says she doesn't want you here
She thought she made it clear
And now the rapping on the door
Is louder than before
It's longer than the day
The thirteenth card told you what to do
Nothing you could choose
Now you sit staring at the blade
It's longer than the day
It's longer than the day
Now you're pleased. Now you're appeased
Inside you now the lion and the lamb
Are in a traffic jam
You look as though you need a rest
Perhaps it's for the best
It's longer than the day
Now you're pleased. Now you're appeased.
It's longer than the day.

The Circle

THE CIRCLE
Bleeding tears today you might run too far
Locked in the shouting away form your mother's car
Watch out, watch out for every pair of eyes
Come down join the circle
Hear the buises flow watch our tails grow
Come down join the circle
Feel the grund explode as we corrode
You should have seen that dero's face
The teacher and the bell come and put you back into your place
Too small for pain and nausea's prize
Come down join the circle
Hear the buises flow watch our tails grow
Come down join the circle
Feel the grund explode as we corrode
Broken fingernails scratch at the wall
Too far gone now to hear your mother's call
The power shuts off and you realise
Come down join the circle
Hear the buises flow watch our tails grow
Come down join the circle
Feel the grund explode as we corrode

SUSAN BURN
Immortal wounds dissolve her pain
She listens to the silent rain
Formless in a rusty chain
The silent world of Susan Burn
Strains toward another turn
The silent world of Susan Burn
She walks until the edge of time
A pride of lions comes to tea
But she's dreaming of the sea
The deepest place for charity
The silent world of Susan Burn
Strains toward another turn
The silent world of Susan Burn
She walks until the edge of time
Surrender is her final plan
She builds her cages in the sand
No hope for the superman
The silent world of Susan Burn
Strains toward another turn
The silent world of Susan Burn
She walks until the edge of time

13TH CHILDHOOD
Swimming through my 13th childhood
Headaches come and go like you should
If there was a chance I could fall into another sleep
One important day I'll make my mind up
One cool day I'll make my mind up
See if you can look the other way
See if you can keep yourself away
From a day
Sulphuric dreams in my 13th childhood
Faces burn like napalm on wood
I don't talk talk costs too much, so expensive
One important day I'll make my mind up
One cool day I'll make my mind up
See if you can look the other way
See if you can keep yourself away
From a day

ROOM ON THE EDGE
In a room on the edge, second floor,
I stare at the ceiling and listen for the door
They're playing outside, cooking up fun
Chasing goblins on the run
Watch the bed grow twice its size
A starving roach looks for a prize
Come inside, come inside
It's like walking through the rubble of Hiroshima
In a room on the edge my vision's blurred
Tell me a wish I've never heard
In a room on the edge, through paper walls,
I hear them laughing in the hall
Watch the bed grow twice its size
A starving roach looks for a prize
Come inside, come inside
It's like walking through the rubble of Hiroshima
In a room on the edge...
In a room on the edge there's broken glass
And all the curtains are made of brass
Watch the bed grow twice its size
A starving roach looks for a prize
Come inside, come inside
It's like walking through the rubble of Hiroshima
In my room on the edge.

The Keeper of the Gate

KEEPER OF THE GATE
Morning comes again with promises
Sunshine on the lawn, unwelcome guest
Shaving with your aging eyes, the mirror's lying
Lies don't mean much, lies just grate
He walks past but he never sees
The keeper of the gate
Into work into the clock whose hands don't move
Same daydream of a man jumping off a roof
Flirting won't pay cover your eyes
Your coffee's gone cold
Dreams don't mean much they're all too late
He works for but he never sees
The keeper of the gate
Never ask questions about your fate
Chasing every rumour for
The keeper of the gate

BEAT 225
Go down to the place where heads shrink fast
Look into someone else's past
Switch on switch off see what gives
Find yourself a disused relative
On beat 225
Buy and sell you lifetime plans
As long as money changes hands
The ghostly dreams that haunt the bars
Are locked away in chemical jars
On beat 225
Well, you can never tell
Where your depression ends
The shape of all your friends
Life, life in this beehive
You might enjoy the drive
On beat 225, Beat 225
Beat 225

BE BRAVE
In a happy place we walk away we walk away
In a tear stained face we look away we look away
So blue
Waves of faces of words
No sound
Words surround
In a happy world there are no words, there are no words
In a wordless world
Behind a wall behind a wall
No sound at all
Waves of faces of faces
Be brave
Perpetually
Be brave...
etc ...

DISMANTLE
Now there is no time. There is no form or space
I feel like steel. I feel like a backwards chase
I melt so well
I dismantle
Tables and chairs dance like flames. They laugh
The cradle's burning. It laughs
I burn so well
I dismantle
I live in a burning ocean
I swim through sound and motion
I sink so well
I dismantle
