Cibachrome Blue Lyrics - Momus

Take a voyage through the heart of darkness 

To the sound of violins 

On a sleeper train across the face of the moon 

Discover many things 

Go transatlantic, transpacific 

'Til the scales fall from your eyes 

Amplify the longing, exaggerate the heat and rise 

Paul at Damascus and Christopher Columbus 

Only found what they knew 

Close your eyes and you may find it too 

RNA and DNA in a post-ethical age 

Nothing is true 

We move like shadows across the stage

Originator man, originator man 

Make me a sun in the palm of your hand 

A rising and setting sun 

Deflowering, 24 hours, reflowering 

Going out of fashion 

Coming back into fashion 

Catch the fruit as it falls for me 

Hang it on the tree again 

(Sunshine in the darkness) 

I guess I've come to throw some shade 

(Moving in the aftershock) 

This time I've come to pull some weight 

(Forwards through the crossfire) 

We move with hands outstretched 

Like the passionate forms we are 

Carbon based lives born in exploding stars 

(The helix and the spiral) 

Transatlantic, transpacific 

Four minutes and 33 seconds of love 

Photos 

Originator man, originator man 

Make me a sun in the palm of your hand 

A rising and setting sun 

Deflowering, 24 hours, reflowering 

Going out of fashion 

Coming back into fashion 

Catch the fruit as it falls for me 

Hang it on the tree again 

A prophet predicted a space probe 

That predicted the start of a world 

An impossibly remote opportunity 

A flash of the dice in the game of chance 

Played by a lonely young girl 

Then came a messiah, a second messiah 

A third messiah then another messiah 

Then everything changed 

Signal to noise, boys will be boys 

And girls will be boys 

Increment is decrement, Christ is anti-Christ 

And so on and so on - to cry is to laugh 

There are multiplications and variations 

There is no true path 

Originator man, originator man 

Make me a sun in the palm of your hand 

A rising and setting sun 

Deflowering, 24 hours, reflowering 

Going out of fashion 

Coming back into fashion 

Catch the fruit as it falls for me 

Hang it on the tree again 

Call him cut creator, originator 

Or call him another name 

All the basking sharks on the barrier reef 

Call him The Oyster Man 

He's diving for pearls, throwing them back 

Watching the signs, making it new 

Experimental worlds 

In Cibachrome blue 

(Sunshine in the darkness) 

Take a voyage through the heart 

To the sound of violins 

On a sleeper train across the face of the moon 

Discover many things 

(Moving in the aftershock) 

Paul at Damascus and Christopher Columbus 

Only found what they knew 

Close your eyes and you may find it too 

(Forwards through the crossfire) 

We move with hands outstretched 

Like the passionate forms we are 

Carbon-based lives born in exploding stars 

(The helix and the spiral) 

Ragamuffin boy, Scheherazade 

A commonplace book of styles 

Lying in the olive grove 

God smiles
