The Family And The Fishing Net Lyrics - Plays Live - Peter Gabriel

Suffocated by mirrors, stained by dreams 

Her honey belly pulls the seams 

Curves are still upon the hinge 

Pale zeros tinge the tiger skin 

 

Moist as grass, ripe and heavy as the night 

The sponge is full, well out of sight 

All around the conversations 

Icing on the warm flesh cake 

 

Light creeps through her secret tunnels 

Sucked into the open spaces 

Burning out in sudden flashes 

Draining blood from well-fed faces

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

 

Desires form in subtle whispers 

Flex the muscles in denial 

Up and down its pristine cage 

So the music, so the trial 

 

Vows of sacrifice, headless chickens 

Dance in circles, they the blessed 

Man and wife, undressed by all 

Their grafted trunks in heat possessed 

 

Even as the soft skins tingle 

They mingle with the homeless mother 

Who loves the day but lives another 

That once was hers 

 

The worried father, long lost lover 

Brushes ashes with his broom 

Rehearses jokes to fly and hover 

Bursting over the bride and groom 

 

And the talk goes on 

 

Photos 

 

Memories crash on tireless waves 

The lifeguards whom the winter saves 

 

Silence falls the guillotine 

All the doors are shut 

Nervous hands grip tight the knife 

In the darkness, till the cake is cut 

Passed around, in little pieces 

The body and the flesh 

The family and the fishing-net 

And another in the mesh 

 

The body and the flesh
