Headless Pin Up Girl

Way up in the hills I could be anyone
I waited in the car until the men were gone
In the scaly chest of every lizard king
Beats a frozen heart that can't do anything
You can't see it in the books upon our shelves
You don't know what I get up to by myself
Saw a shaman once who told me who I am
Although I try my best to answer nature's call
There is a side of me that you don't know at all
What am I doing here I didn't do nothing wrong
Sometimes I'm filled with guilt but it don't last for long
You can't see it in the books upon our shelves
You don't know what I get up to by myself
Saw a shaman once who told me who I am
Gave a ring to me that didn't fit on my hand
I remember when I saw inside the shell
Like the head of a demented army
Like the tail of a wolf without a jaw
In the minds of those that want to harm me
In the body of a painted screaming whore
In the light of ego burning up id
Is the shadow of a doubt that can't be cured
Hunting for me as its master did bid
Like a panther or the beast of Bodmin Moor
From the deepest frontal lobe vibrations
Comes the figure of a headless pin up girl
I know all the other beach crustaceans
Don't believe this slimy oyster hides a pearl

(Don't tell me)
You don't know the word for what I've got
(Forget me)
Told me I was dying when I'm not
(My sisters)
Mourning me since the day I was born
(got blisters)
Most of what they pour on me is scorn
(I've lost it)
Searching for the peace within my mind
(My glossed lips)
Find it near impossible to find
(I study)
Rereading the lady of shallot
(Mind's muddy)
Don't know if my mirror's crack'd or not
(In the shadow world)
(In the shadow world)
Six-thousand shards of glass and me
Chant my death-song
The clouds look dark but not for me
Or my death-song
(Keep breathing)
Stop to take a breath between the waves
(It's seething)
Wait for the temptation that I crave
(Everyone)
Stare at me when I walk in the room
(It's not wrong)
Eating forbidden fruits of the loom
(Whatever)
Needs must when the devil drives my lust
(Forever)
Perverts they were grinding me to dust
(I shiver)
I'm half sick of shadows in the mirror
(And quiver)
Find them near impossible to clear

Killer Bees
03:09
|

Run to the mountains
Float on the seas
Acid rain fountains
And killer bees
Tinned food at knife point
Don't lose your head
Not quite alive
But not yet dead
Doesn't matter at all
I roll my eyes when sirens call
Not got my face on
So I wait for dark
Swallow my innocence
But don't eat my heart
Hate behind my eyeballs
Try to play it cool
Focussed on survival
Like the other fools
Doesn't matter at all
(Killer bees are coming and I'm lost in a swarm of my own)
I don't remember what I can't recall
(Nowhere left to hide when your mind is denied)
Unprepared for the fall
(The end is nigh and I'm getting high on my own)
I roll my eyes when sirens call

Deranged

The preacher told me that he thinks that I'm mad,
I joined a cult and fucked up everything I had,
Yeah thanks a lot for your superior insight
My teacher asked me how did you get so strange?
I feel normal but I might just be deranged
Don't understand why everybody's so uptight
Killing time and trying to be
Like the people on TV
You get good at that
The inane reality
Of a human wannabe
Need my head looked at
At first I thought that I should just stand my ground
I didn't dare, they'd crucify me upside down
I used to sneak round in the darkness at midnight
And then I'd stay there 'til the spell breaks at dawn
Eat all the roses and then fall into the thorns
Something about all this that just didn't feel right

Digitalis
02:35

Climb over the wall and through the trees
They got here supernaturally
On nights that you weren't dreaming of me
The magic mushroom cloud's sacred to me
A symbol of fertility
It blows my mind externally
She lay there til the break of dawn
And cursed the day that I was born
Apocalypse in human form
I put each finger in a fox's glove
A different kind of different love
Of raining poison death from above
It's in your eyes Alice
Your brain is full of Malice
I'll sort you out with another
Dose of digitalis
And then she put a ring on me
Got stuck there for eternity
She never meant a thing to me
Dropped out and had a dozen kids
We killed them on the pyramids
The craziest thing we ever did
I found her bones in the lost city
At terminal velocity
A primitive lobotomy
Now we walk the earth forever cursed
The foulest slime in the universe
Of all the things around we are the worst
Drink from your golden chalice
In the ivory palace
I'll bring you down with a double
Dose of digitalis
Woke up this morning feeling rough
A beautiful world full of ugly stuff
10 000 years now I think I've had enough

Lying down stripped, nothing to lose
Tell me the tale, stone table blues
Tanks rolling up, planes crashing down
I went to find the wreckage; it's the talk of the town
Got to the place to see what it's like
Steeply uphill, best leave my bike
I watched the tribe dance round the flames
1400 people there were chanting my name
Another shot in the dark
(Of the world underground)
Accursed with the black mark
(Turn this place upside down)
Followed around
Followed around
Fought to the death, won me the throne
Wearing a crown made from the bones
I feel the glare on the whites of my eyes
Face in the air, forever watching the skies
Got my head shaved, nothing to lose
Feeling it now, stone table blues
Then the high priest told me the plan
Said I could read the mind of the digital man
Another shot in the dark
(Of the world underground)
Accursed with the black mark
(Turn this place upside down)
I try hard to remember
(Every time you're around)
Sunlight on the dismembered
(Woah woah)
Followed around
Followed around
