I remember a girl so very well,. The carnival drums all mad in the air. Grim reapers and skeletons and a missionary bell,. O where do we go now but nowhere ?.

With a crooked smile. And a heart-shaped face. Comes from the West country. Where the birds sing bass. She's got a house-big heart. Where we all live.
Along crags and sunless cracks I go. Up rib of rock, donw spine of stone. I dare not slumber where the right winds whistle. Lest her creeping-soul clutch this heart of thistle.
Alice wakes. It is morning. She is yawning. As she walks about the room. Her hair falls down her breast. She is naked and it is June. . Standing at the window.
This is the way your life ends?On a slab in my basement. Perplexed by your loss of limbs. And wondering where your face went. Inside my den. Random pieces of corpses hanging.
This is my body. Pourous, flagella-like due to decomp.. This is my blood. Fermented well-aged sanguine. Putrid cocktail. Decayed red blood cells now reliquefy.
Destroyers in nature. It's just the fabric of us, our mistakes -- feeble-minded. Moderate -- to severe - idiocy. The "most intelligent" creatures on the planet.
As we dance. Here in this empty apartment. Echoes of laughter. Will haunt me for after. Put your memories in boxes. Cut all your losses. Romance left this place long ago.
This gloomy weather doesn't break it any. Break it anymore. The sun abandoned us for blue skies somewhere. Blue skies somewhere warm. The world outside my window is scratching at my door.
You're running off far away from all I thought we had. Just stay a while let me take your mind back. To imagine if our shadows had stood their ground that day.
Let me be the one. Let me find an answer. Let me kiss the sun. Happy ever after. Something that once saved me. Is just about to break me. Climb the stairs with me.
Well Im sitting here thinking,. Just kinda wondering,. Thinking about you and me.. And when you cross my mind,. Every single time,. I smile and think of what we could be..
The day we laid in the shade. ooo the sweet sweet love we made. in the safety of his arms. i wait for the skies bright stars. . i'm still waiting. there under those stars.
I once knew this angel. Who lived in the desert. And late at night. When the moon was full. Wed lay together. In a pool of water. Look up at the sky. And our hearts would soar.
Where are my buds from yesterday?. Men who raised me up when I was down. Mates who kept their faith in me. Guys who always handed me the crown. . Where are my old confidants?.
As cold as ice. Wrapped round your brain. And darkness unfolds. Youre breathing in pain. . Its been freezing here. In this Land of Shattered Dreams. Its been freezing here.
Baby, Ive spent my whole life. Chasing all the wrong things. But now I know what really matters. Now I know what it all means. . Theres no house so grand I need to own.
One night. We spoke of God. In a cloud of high blue smoke. At the first midnight stroke. . One night. We spoke of God. Atop a steep quiet hill. We pondered our free will.
In the 21st Century, ALL major wars will be water wars....... . Water is blood. . Dry red blood. On the lips of wild dogs. In the night. Suck the wounds of dead men.
