SHE IS THE LEADER
Three days later when we emerged
The machine was waiting for me
Bright, shaped metal just like they’d promised
We gathered round, no warmth from this white spark
I climbed up first just to test it
Somebody had to and I was the leader
There was no-one to ask and I was the leader
Three days running and now everyone’s a little raw
Snake bite jumpy, got the jitters from the knockdown
Fall asleep then you wake up, fall asleep then you just wake up
Come Friday cold water will make a better sound
Till then, stoke the stove and keep a watch out
But I see visions of floating lovers,
love argent on a field verte
But I follow because she is the leader
SCREAM FOR ME
Bleeding heart
Loving vein
Empty Head
It’s made that way
When I got you all alone
When I got you on my own
There’s one thing you can do for me
There’s one thing that I really need
Scream for me
Scream for me
Scream for me
Hundred miles
All we need
Asphalt carpet
Guilty speed
When I got you all alone [etc.[
Flash that shiny, in your eyes,
Little shiny, that hypnotize
Climb right in, We’ll fast away
Leave your soul, No time to pray
If I die, Before you wake
Scream for me
Coal fire lovin
Make you free
Catch me lookin
The hell you see
When I got you all alone [etc.]
DISTANT LAND
Open up a dove but don’t for-
Get to leave its feathers on so
When you peel it back you see its
tiny rib cage and I
know you want to touch soft on its
Shiny many-colored neck and
Wrap you all around yes with her
Wings of grey do it
Stare into a little eye a
a simple life in every blink but
Stare in even closer till you
See the veins now you’re
Pushing right past the
Reflection of your own eye looking
Deeper to the bottom to an
empty plane singing
If you fall in love then you had
Better keep your voices down you
Stay away from windows douse that
Open flame and when you
See your lover’s life right there be-
side yours like the next train through the
glass as you travel speeding
side by side
It’s the beauty that is real
All the stories are just dreams
Its all we need its all we need
Got a question have you?
Funny I’ve got one for you so
Think of every minute every
Thing you’ve had every
Time you smell blood, or fresh
Dirt, or burning wires is it
Stories you believe or are you
living and true that’s all
It’s the beauty that is real
All the stories are just dreams
Its all we need its all we need
Monarchs
You’re half awake at dawn
Ignoring all of the gloom
It’s best to get your rest
Somewhere outside this room
But it will be time to get wasted
Come Sunday afternoon
The sky is raining lead
And it feels just like a tomb
Advance on every front you can
‘Cause morning’s coming soon
Our hearts jumped in our heads
And we’re really not in the mood
So advance on every front you can
‘Cause morning’s coming soon
As monarchs lift the sky
Ascending from the eaves
A glint in the creator’s eye
That’s given unto thee
Eclipse Sky
Oh, oh, foolish me
Lost again in a cicada symphony
I listen hard as the night comes on
Flat on the ground and waiting for dawn
Underneath the Eclipse Eye
Where the shade is divine
Hesher Ricky blows on the fire outside
He’s got everything he needs to stay alive
But all his coals may freeze tonight
Hesher Ricky is here to keep them alight
Underneath the Eclipse Eye
Where the shade is divine
This eclipse could be
Divine reasoning
But the silence now
Is a temporary thing
The shattered glass wakes
Echos that ring
Eternity is
A temporary thing
The shattered glass wakes
A spirit comes on
This temporary thing
Goes on and on and on and on
