I caught a glimpse of your eyes last night In a restless dream Waking out of green field blue seas and stars Your eyes arise like the specters of flowers I turned out the light and clicked fast the door And the book falls I had so many thoughts So many signs I made sense of nothing at all His green dream is unreal The crickets sing Across deserts and plains The lost feast Their shimmering teeth are marking the passing of time A cloud falls A bird shivers and sings Its beak is stained with night Pure gold The dark is waiting The darkness is hungry The deep is angry And the telephone rings on A film screen descends SongtexteAnd the silent movies play Buster Keaton falls and rots As Big Ben sings and boils on an endless swamp The silence is treacle-thick And calls us to prayer Paint God with your blood And fill haunted women with knives and kites and gauges and valves And make them weep long hymns To gaseous and clumsy mortality While the fish descend Remember, remember Remember, remember Remember, remember Remember, remember Oh the burning ember Embedded in your chest The soul watches TV and gorges itself on blood and popcorn And that's what I call decay And that's what I call decline And that's what I call decadence and degeneration Hard times, Mr. Lindsay? You have stopped my watch at the stroke of three And you call for the police There's a time for tea And a time for expiring When your notice to quit is in the post You should know Your little cow and calf is gonna die And God gave Noah the rainbow sign And then he said "It's the fire next time" God gave Noah the rainbow sign And then he said "It's the fire next time" God gave Noah the rainbow sign And then he said "It's the fire next time" God gave Noah the rainbow sign And then he said "It's the fire next time" God gave Noah the rainbow sign And then he said "It's the fire next time" And God gave Noah the rainbow sign And then he said "It's the fire next time" And God gave Noah the rainbow sign And then he said "It's the fire next time" And God gave Noah the rainbow sign And then he said "It's the fire next time" It's the fire next time It's the fire next time Oh it's the fire next time It's the fire next time Aus Songtexte Mania
