Lyrics Just like you I am a wandererWandering, wondering Outrunning all my previous livesSo cleave to me just like a tiny storm A raining and a thundering Coming out of clear blue skies - "All I Know" There were many guests at the tableMisfortune, jealousy, and slothActing fine, drink the wineSpill it on the tablecloth - "Feast" And she beckons to you with her fingers and liesShe says: can't you slice the price of your paradise. ~ A Month of Sundays Like a womb, the night was all around ~ Disappear Ugliness you have to know, beauty you can't teach ~ Disappear You stare down at some crowd from your trapezeAnd when you fell they fell down on their kneesAnd when you broke they scrambled for a pieceAnd when you spoke I felt their anger freeze. ~ Metropolis I paid eighty dollars for this wedding ring, I couldn't take it off if I tried... ~ Hotel Womb She put her foot down on the oscillation pedal, she was a transdimensional speeder... ~ Terra Nova Cain The pines smell sweet in the frozen air,and their silhoutte's just fading there,the wolves crouch close, against the snowbut where we're running I don't know,In villages and soft sad townsthe candles sway as night comes down,cold bones creak and strange beasts cry,watching shadows in the sky...All I have, all I need, all I got.....is providence. ~ Providence On this very spot a great city once stood,It oozed with evil but it felt so good... ~ City It's never as good as I hoped or as bad as I feared ~ Into My Hands In the space between our housessome bones have been discoveredbut our procession lurches onas if we have recovered... ~ Destination Great cities, or the endless beautiful plains stretched out beforehis jaded gaze and disappeared into the nothingness of his feeling. ~ Fall in Love Follow her down to worship some godWho never speaks to me, I wonder if that's oddThen he says you're never listening. ~ Lost The universe is femaleEluding the science of menYou sway and you swagger with your neat little daggerYou're gonna blow it again ....I'll prove her existence in everythingThe soul of her rivers and stonesHer acquiescence in everythingHer essence, her presence, her bones. ~ Essence The world keeps spinning, people keep sinningall the rest is just bullshit. ~ Authority You can't be a lover if you want to keep on usingWhat are you using that's stronger than the loveSometimes I'm knocked out by the damage that you're doingKnocked out, locked out, push comes to shoveListen to the wind tearing at the windowsWatching how the white moon melts into the cloudImportant little tyrants, impotent little pharaohsMen/man of sorrows lost into the crowd ~ Richochet Sometimes I wander under prehistoric skysHere she comes with a penetrating starecold desert stars feel and sparkle like frost, they are so losthis seed of adulation is your butter and your bread,it's an exquisite corpse and its lips are redIf you're alone and you're feeling blue,everyone in Persia probably feels like you do. ~ Lost Why are those buildings swaying like trees? ~ Hotel Womb Close to you, hear all you sayEven though you're continents away ~ It Doesn't Change I've got a nickname for you, I call you weaknessI get a little strength out too, or is it meekness ~ Paradox Everything is going wrongAll my songs are coming true ~ Mistress Inside the car sat a sulky blondeAnd on her lap the road went on and onAs she dresses I look to the groundPerhaps I know where the place can be found, and on ~ The Night is Very Soft Beyond that void is a placeWhere figments from bad dreams are banishedChildhood nightmares all come seekingAnd adult logic nearly vanished ~ Chaos Our instruments have no way of measuring this feelingHad ever got below the floorOr penetrate the ceiling ~ Destination So now we're cruisin' down this shuddering highway with the dead sun shining on my back. ~ Myrrh Loving, we've been loving, but sometimes hate is betterYou can't keep out the killers with love, manHating, we've been hating, but only love can heal up the hate ~ Nightfriends External links Category:Musicians Category:Bassists Category:Living people Category:Vegetarians
