Sk's First Song (excerpt)

As I was coming home up the street. I saw a sight that almost made me sick. I saw my girl, my lovely Sue. Walking 'round with you.

Silvermine

Silvermine, I'm falling into this. Silvermine and no way through. Silvermine I can't relinquish this. Silvermine neither can you. . I led him down to it.

Silencer

The silence is wrong. He/You can't find the hotel. It was a while back. It's just a shell. And the place where it stood. Just a field full of weeds. It's a done deal (don't forget the silencer).

Shell

Hello sweet creature. Won't you give me some bloodlike guarantee. I've been listening to myself too long. And they're making a prophet out of me. I'm as empty as a shell can ever be.

She Counts Up The Days

At the heart of her outrage. There lies a veil of tears. Stories of lost times. She'll spread among the fields. And we touched the land. Of weeds where nothing grows.

Shakedown

Isadore Columbine woke up in the dunes. How she came to be there no one ever knew, shakedown. They took him in for questioning, they didn't get a thing.

September 13

You never shoulda used magic. To summon me back here. The consequences could be rather tragic. But that's a real good trick my dear. . And all the time I'm under the impression.

Selfish Portrait

Got your whiskey and Coke. You may appreciate this joke. You seem like a decent bloke. You're doing pretty well. No one could never tell that. . You've got your guitar by a string.

Seasick

Starboard and port. Comes creeping in the mist. I'm lost in thought. Lost in the thought of this. . Seasick. Seasick. . The lovers flowing in. The traffic comes and goes.

Running From The Body

You've been here before. I've seen that face before. I opened the door to you. . You've got the power. That's why I like you. Yes, it's true. . Inside on the ceiling.

Random Pan

Good times are a'coming. Well I saw it in a vision. I heard it in evangelist's sighs. Down beyond the station. Yonder lies salvation. In the afternoons and the skies.

Ramble

The very second time I walked in this room. You knew that I was gone. And just the way the sun slanted in. Made it all seem wrong. . I know you say you love me.

Providence

Remember when I told you. You were pretty lost. It seems you had it up to here. You just paid the cost. . All I have, all I need. All you got is providence.

Pretty Ugly, Pretty Sad

I turned around to see the clown. He made no sound, his face was down. He was crying, dying to laugh another smile. Down the empty avenues. I stood inside his worn-out shoes.

Pony Express

It's easy on the man who tries. It's easy when he tries to buy surprises. Ravens in the black sky. . It's easy when the angel cut her hair. And said despair you've got the righteous.

Pain In My Temples

Dionysus and apollo are up in the sky. Their brand of contradiction makes me want to cry. For four thousand years I've been accruing my bones. Looking for a God who won't leave me alone.

Out Of This World

Almost polite, they point a finger. Chase the muslin designs. Almost as blind, shrug your shoulder. Look what you're leaving behind. . On the way out, out of this world.

Out Of The Pink Sky

Othertime

You arrive here unexplained. I can't believe the chance you took. I can't believe you're back again. Sister come in from the rain. Those images are fading now.

Number Eleven

Plane crash in the desert. Everybody walked away. Suitcase open to the breeze. Light lifting up pretty heavy. . So we climbed out, looked around us. Your shirt stuck to your skin.
