Track Lyrics
Cascade Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh the air was shining
Shining like a wedding ring
Barbed like sex, I felt 10,000 volts
My chest was full of eels, pushing through my usual skin
I opened up new wounds
Pouting, shouting
[Chorus]
Oh, love like liquid falling
Falling in cascades
Oh, lovelorn victims
Laughing in cascades
[Verse 2]
The Sun was rich, rich with a song of sin
My breath melted my words into strange alphabets
Tormenting my tongue
Pouting, shouting
[Chorus]
Oh, love like liquid falling
Falling in cascades
Oh, lovelorn victims
Laughing in cascades
[Verse 3]
The heartbeats were echoing
Echoing the revolver
Emptying into my mouth
I pulled a face from my pocket
And smiled a Leper's grin
I felt somebody close
Oh, pouting, shouting
[Chorus]
Oh, love like liquid falling
Falling in cascades
Oh, lovelorn victims
Laughing in cascades, ohh
Oh, love like liquid falling
Falling in cascades
Oh, lovelorn victims
Laughing in cascades, ohh
[Outro]
Love like liquid falling
Falling in cascades
Lovelorn victims
Laughing in cascades
Oh, love like liquid falling down
I'm falling in cascades
Oh, lovelorn victims
Laughing, laughing in cascades
In cascades
In cascades, in cascades
Obsession Lyrics
7 ContributorsObsession LyricsDo you hear this breath?
It's an obsessive breath
Can you feel this beat?
It's an obsessive heartbeat
Waiting to be joined with its obsession
I close my eyes but I can't sleep
The thin membrane can't veil the branded picture of you
The signs and signals show
The traffic lights say go
Again you baffle me
Pretending not to see, oh, me
I broke into your room, I broke down in my room
Touched your belongings there and left a lock of my hair
Another sign for you
You screamed into my face "get the hell out of my place"
Another sign for me?
Can you forgive me?
For not understanding your ways
You know sometimes you take it all too far
Then I remember it's a game between you and me
A divine test for us two
It's all in my imagination
Yes, they even say that our mission
Is only my obsession
Do you hear this breath?
It's an oppressive breath
Suffocating in the poison
Of your obsession
Can you feel this beat?
It's a possessive beat
Your pulse stops in the claws
Of your obsession
The signs and signals show
The traffic lights say go
Again you baffle me
Pretending not to see, oh, me
Circle Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pretty girl of sixteen has fun and runs crazy
Ruined girl of sixteen, now a mother, grows lazy
Next, a sixteen-year-old baby, like mother, grows lazy
And her stomach is churning
Whilst her eyes keep on turning
[Chorus]
'Round and around, 'round and around
Getting no higher from the ground
'Round and around, 'round and around
The circle has an empty sound
[Verse 2]
Father inflicts discipline, boy rebels against him
He leaves for the big town for love and adventure
But the words he first heard, unlike his instincts, run deeper
Now boy beats his children if they disobey him
And the cat riddled with worms chases his tail
[Chorus]
'Round and around, 'round and around
Getting no higher from the ground
'Round and around, 'round and around
The circle has an empty sound
[Verse 3]
The endless full circle for the next in line
The endless full circle take the red line
The green line, the silver or blue
Any line you can think of except for the yellow
Take a trip with your family and see where they go
Give them a free ticket, it's the best thing to do
And if you wind up on the circle line
Hell, it's not from lack of options
Then, if you run into the yellow
Well, that's up to you
[Chorus]
'Round and around, 'round and around
Getting no higher from the ground
'Round and around, 'round and around
The circle has an empty sound
The circle has an empty sound
'Round and around, 'round and around
'Round and around, 'round and around
'Round and around, 'round and around
'Round and around and around
[Outro]
The endless full circle for the next in line
The endless full circle, are you the next in line?
'Round, 'round and 'round and around and around
'Round and around and around and around
'Round and around and around and around and around
Painted Bird Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On lead-poisoned wings
You try to sing
Freak beak shrieks are thrown
At your confusing hue
The peacock screaming eyes
Show no mercy
Oh, no mercy
[Chorus]
Painted bird
It's absurd
Just a tainted bird
Hurting their twisted nerve
Painted bird
It's absurd
Just a tainted bird
Hurting their twisted nerve
Painted bird
[Verse 2]
The flock will make you choke
On this sadistic joke
And the whippoorwills
They make a din
In laughing unison
You're hitchcock carrion
In laughing unison
You're hitchcock carrion, carry on
[Chorus]
Painted bird
It's absurd
Just a tainted bird
Hurting their twisted nerve
Painted bird
It's absurd
Just a tainted bird
Hurting their twisted nerve
Painted bird
[Bridge]
I hear your sorrow
Maybe tomorrow
You'll lose your sorrow
When a fated weather will cleanse away
That painted feather
And all that sorrow, sorrow, sorrow
Ooh
[Verse 3]
A coquette in fur
Purr for the painted bird
Confound that dowdy flock
With a sharp-honed nerve
Because we're painted birds
By our own design
By our own design
And there's no more sorrow, sorrow, sorrow
[Chorus]
Have you heard
About the painted bird
Just a tainted bird
Hurting their twisted nerve
We've lost our sorrow
Now it's tomorrow-morrow
No need to hide your feather
Until a fated weather
No more sorrow, sorrow
We've lost our sorrow
Now we're painted birds
Mocking that twisted nerve
Painted birds
It's absurd
Cocoon Lyrics
8 ContributorsCocoon LyricsHere in my cot where my cot loves me
I'll stay here a while in the cotton wool cocoon
'Til the chrysalis is ripe
'til the time is right
With this feeling of insecurity
I have to shrink back inside
Run and hide
Back in the cocoon hugging my knees
Watching my insides the skinned glow-worm writhings
Lying in blankets, I've been here a while
Tapping out rhythms, tapping out rhythms
Against the mattress and wall
The heat melts the sheets
Another layer is peeled
Tapping out rhythms, tapping out rhythms
Just my cot, the wallpaper and me
I've been here awhile
Tapping out rhythms, tapping out rhythms
Still finding charms in the memory of those constrictor arms
Glowing in the dark in my luminous green
A pearl beaded lizard bathed in a gossamer scent
With my heat detector lip-pit pulling at the newly formed tissue
Lying in blankets, I've been here awhile
Tapping out rhythms, tapping out rhythms
Against the mattress and wall
Waiting, waiting to loose the bandages
Waiting for new appendages
Lying in blankets, I've been here a while
I've been here too long
Banging out rhythms, listening for other tappings
Banging out rhythms, banging out rhythms
Banging out rhythms, listening for other tappings
Banging out rhythms, banging out rhythms
Back in the cocoon
Back in the cocoon
Back in the cocoon
Tapping out rhythms
Tapping out rhythms
Tapping out rhythms
