The Knowing Dirge
Now remain very quiet
Keep your eyes open
I can still see through my own eyes
In the shadow of what's real
dig a hole down in the sand
where you know you left it all
the things that make you understand
And guide your hand
Then you turn with watering eye
to the sky in your surprise
all that sand used to be you
before you opened it so wide
And the sand is your blood and the hole is so big
and you shake and you pray and you beg
You know why
You know why
With your watering eye you've got a hole inside
such a wretched life, don't look so surprised
You know why
Yeah
You know why
Yeah-yeah Hoo hoo hoo
Yeah-yeah Hoo hoo hoo
Yeah-yeah Hoo hoo hoo
Yeah-yeah
YouYouYou
You did this to yourself again
Gunning for a bluer sky
Swallowed the dose
cut your own rope
Just to know it all
Do you know it all?
You took down the dose
cut your own rope
Wanted to show yourself everything
You ran through the wire
tasted the fire
You can't feel anything at all
Yeah-yeah Hoo hoo hoo
Yeah-yeah Hoo hoo hoo
Yeah-yeah Hoo hoo hoo
Yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah Hoo hoo hoo
Yeah-yeah Hoo hoo hoo
Yeah-yeah Hoo hoo hoo

Cinema
Flesh disolved in acid of light
Nine hundred hours of hallucinitory intoxication

Clean Plastic Baby
Think of me
Doctor Morris dial 188, please
Doctor Morris please dial 188
Oh! What joy! A child of our own
Oooh, such a handsome child
With a fusebox smile
I think he's trying to speak now
he's got nothing to say
He must have nothing to say
Nothing, you say?
I cannot hate you
Why should I bother?
I never felt anything anyway
Dark in the bedroom
Why should you bother?
You never saw each other
why should you see me now?
Yeah-yeah get it up
The child can't do anything right
Oh, why can't he be like us?
Tell me why?
Clean the mind off this plastic baby
You took these eyes, set them in deep
I just repeat what you said
I just repeat what you reap
You set this flesh up on these bones
what you said
I just repeat what you said
Clean off this plastic baby
I'm through with patience
I'll wait no longer
You never waited for me anyway
This thing inside me
it's growing stronger
It's going to tear
Tear until it sees the light of day
The child can't do anything right
Oh, why can't he be like us?
Tell me why?
Clean the mind off this plastic baby
Yeah
Clean the mind
Clean the mind off this plastic baby
I grow impatience
I'll wait no longer

You set these eyes deep in this face
And I just repeat what you said
I just repeat what you reap
You put this flesh up on these bones
I just repeat what you said
Make me repeat what you said
Make me repeat what you said
I just repeat what you said
The story you told still rings in my head
The young men came down
down to the river, to wash their hands of the mud
The young men came down
down to the river, to wash their hands of the blood
See all the young men come down
after the stoning, to wash their hands of the mud
To wash off the mud
To wash off the blood
Repeat what you said
Repeat what you said
Repeat what you said
The women came down
down to the lakeside, to wash their legs of the blood
See all the women come down
after the birthing, to wash their legs of the blood
I saw the women come down
down to the water, to wash their legs of the blood
The blood, The blood
You just repeat what you said
Repeat what you said
Oh, just repeat what you said
Repeat what you said
You just repeat what you said
Keep still child
I'm washing your insides away
That's a good boy
You know we love you

Everything will be alright
We are here to help you
Stay calm
Protect you
And serve you
Keep you down
Yes officer, big law man
I love you too, you motherfucker
You motherfucker
Hup
Catholic man, make no mistake
But press that nerve down and see the face
The face of order is far from Christ
It has cheeks already bloody, and rage in it's eyes
Rage
Johnny was a law man from the age of five
Now he watches over me and helps me stay in line
And as he masterbates the chrome
his thumb pulls lightly back the hammer yeahah
Salivating wildly, he says he'd like me to try it again
Protect you
And serve you
Keep you down
Yes officer
Big law man
I love you too
you motherfucker
You motherfucker
war now
I have seen reality, he says, In a new light
I know where the evil is, and I know I am right
Ripping through the human garden
cutting out the weeds
I was given orders to do anything I please Please
Oh, Johnny was a law man from the age of five
Now he watches over me and helps me stay in line
And as he masterbates the chrome
his thumb pulls lightly back the hammer
Salivating wildly, he says he'd like me to try it again
Try it again Try it again
Try it again Try it again
Yeah
Don't bow to the race that is dying inside
Rotting and swollen with a righteous pride
Kick to the face, kick to the face, spit in the face and say
Try it again, you little fucker
Try it again

Pet
Only one is a wanderer, two together are always going somewhere
(Vertigo)
Honey on the tongue
I wish I could be a bit like you
Paper in my teeth
I wish I could be a bit like you
I've been made a pet
A chain one mile long
Bleed me every hour
Keep me from growing strong
Honey on the tongue
I wish I could be a bit like you
Bit like you
Get my every wish
Nailing down my feet to be with you
Pulling back my lips
Showing all my teeth to be like you
I've been made a pet
A chain one mile long
Bleed me every hour
Keep me from growing strong
Honey on the tongue
I wish I could be a bit like you
Bit like you
Just a bit like you

Persecutor
Why are you persecuting me?
Why are you against me?
Here we go
Ohoh
I am of alien intelligence
At least they say so
I could show you anything
Unless I want to
Many people run away from me
I make them angry
They don't like the way I shake
I am reminded Yeah-yeah
Oh, I am reminded
Yeah
Oh, Stop and take a look at where your words are falling
Listen to where your wisdom goes
Oh, you might be disappointed
just how much your victim knows
Kick in
Oh, I am sickened
Oh, you won't listen
You won't listen
oh
No
oh
Go Go Go Go
Ohh
Little girl has learned a lesson today
She has a value
Get up and change the sheets again
Late night with Gallo
Many people run away from her, yeah
She makes them angry
They don't like the way she moves
She is reminding
Yeah- aw yeah
Oh, she is reminding
yeah
Oh, stop and take a look at where your words are falling
Listen to where your wisdom goes
Oh, you might be disappointed
just how much your victim knows
You better kick in
Oh, I am sickened
Oh, you won't listen
Did you wake up today?
Did you wake up yesterday?
Did you wake up today?
Well, if you woke up yesterday
will you wake up tommorow?
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
tomorrow, wake up tomorrow, wake up tomorow
Oh, tomorrow, tomorrow, oh tomorrow
You came up from the water
down into the village now
followed me to my home
Spoke to me and said
Don't worry,
'cause this is only meant to be
just like a warning to you from me
And I am only meant to be
affectionate

Bottle
Start my day, I hit my head with the door
Grab hold of the chair
and pull myself from the floor
Still isn't clear what that was for
Recognized, things buried in here
Fruit ripe for the pickings
and thoughts of fear
You can't let it get too easy to assume what isn't clear
Tell me 'bout those good old days
Older ones and better ways
Ways I cannot change today
Tell me why
I'll tell you why
Teeth like a dog can getchya back in the game
And each new problem
drives you further from sane
Topics take a root in all the things that cause you pain
One more day and not a bad start at all
Less weight on your shoulders
can make you feel tall
This bottle stands empty waiting for me to call
Tell me why
Tell me why

The Sad Ballad of Danny Boy
Danny?
Danny boy
Danny?
That's right my name is Danny Boy
and I like to drink at night
I go down to the pub, wherein I buy myself a pint or three
I like to go out drinking, 'cause beer it is my life
until I come home
and lay eyes upon my darling wife
Say Oh Danny won't you go home earlier tonight?
You're daughter doesn't know you
You're giving us a fright when you say
Say, somethings wrong with anyone who's not like me
With you the violence just comes so easily
You never learn, I have to teach you constantly
With you the violence just comes
Hush now
You know my name is Danny Boy
and I'll buy another round
Then off to the market when this place closes down
'Cause I say drinkings always done when the sun's up in the sky
Sun is always up somewhere, it's your turn to buy
And I say
Oh, Danny won't you go home earlier tonight?
Your son he doesn't know you
And you're giving us a fright when you say
Say, somethings wrong with anyone who's not like me
With you the violence just comes so easily
You never learn, I have to teach you constantly
Hush now
Hush now
Hush now
Yeah

Crawl Into You
I'm talking about my life
I can't seem to get that through to you
I'm not just talking about one person
I'm talking about everybody
I'm talking about my life
I can't seem to get that through to you
I'm talking about form, I'm talking about content
I'm talking about inter-relationships
I'm not just talking about one person
I'm talking about everybody
I'm talking about form, I'm talking about content
I'm talking about inter-relationships
I'm talking about my life
I can't seem to get that through to you
I'm not just talking about one person
I'm talking about everybody
I'm talking about form, I'm talking about content
I'm talking about inter-relationships
I'm talking about God, the Devil, Hell, Heaven
Do you understand?
Finally?
Down comes the day
I'm going to crawl into you
Deep into you
Take up my hands
spread you in two
see through your eyes
Make all your fears come true
Under your flesh
shivering there
feel out your lies
I'm gonna crawl into you
Yeah
Oh
I'm gonna crawl into you
Who are you?
Who are you??
I'm talking about my life
I can't seem to get that through to you
I'm not just talking about one person
I'm talking about everybody
I'm talking about form, I'm talking about content
I'm talking about inter relationships
I'm talking about God, the Devil, Hell, Heaven
Do you understand?
Finally?
