Crisis

He: I have a bloody crisis,
you bring your teeth to bare.
She: You have a bloody crisis,
I bring my teeth to bare.
Love as shelter, love as rain.
Love is pleasure, love is pain...
He: I saw the inner sanctum,
you torched the whole affair.
She: You saw the inner sanctum,
I torched the whole affair.
Love as shelter, love as rain.
Love is pleasure, love is pain...
Love, it connects you,
disconnects you.
It's a crisis of the heart.
Love, it directs you,
misdirects you.
It's a crisis of the heart.
He: Dreamt I was spider-bitten,
trapped in a web of Voltaire.
She: You are just living out your,
your worst nightmare.
He: Saw myself suspended,
think I was caught in a snare.
She: Forgot to tell you, baby,
oh, I was there.
Love as shelter, love as rain.
Love is pleasure, love is pain...
Love, it resurrects you,
then rejects you.
It's a crisis of the heart.
They: And out of the darkness,
we discovered deep despair.
Found some common ground,
a new world that we could share.
'It is not known where angels dwell.
Whether in the air, the void, or the planets.
It has not been God's pleasure
that we should be informed of their abode'...
Love as shelter, love as rain.
Love is pleasure, love is pain.
Love as shelter, love as rain.
Love is pleasure, love is pain.
I want you to understand,
this is all part of the plan...
Love as shelter, love as rain.
Love is pleasure, love is pain...

Oh, the noose around my neck.
Oh, this blood-red amulet.
I feel the dragon breathing fire.
And devil dogs they do conspire...
I want you to love me.
Just love me
until I suffocate.
I want you to love me.
Love me.
Oh, love me
until I suffocate.
My heart is yours to strangulate.
Love me.
I want you to love me
until I suffocate.
The kiss that seals my fate...
Oh, the heavens open wide.
But oh, no angels are inside.
An empty space for me to hide
and harbor my resentment.
Love me.
I want you to love me
until I suffocate.
I want you to love me.
Love me.
Just love me
until I suffocate.
The kiss that seals my fate.
Oh, the monolith is gone.
Oh, the circle has been drawn.
I see now I was just a pawn,
a silver ship in Babylon.
Love me.
I want you to love me
until I suffocate.
My heart is yours to strangulate.
Love me.
Love me.
Oh, love me
until I suffocate.
The kiss that seals my fate...

Willamettero

Willamettero,
you emerged from
the very bottom
of this dirty river.
Willamettero!
King Of Sturgeon!
You are the kraken,
the kraken of Portland…
Willamettero...
Willamettero…
Willamettero,
we touched a nerve.
I know, I know.
Willamettero.
We get what we deserve.
Willamettero,
I snuck a kiss.
I know, I know.
Willamettero.
In this abyss.
Willamettero,
we touched a nerve.
I know, I know.
Willamettero.
We get what we deserve.
Willamettero,
I snuck a kiss.
I know, I know.
Willamettero.
This bittersweet abyss...
From Oswego
to the Willamette.
You’ve terrorized thousands,
maybe tens of thousands.
Floodwater rising,
fires are burning.
You slippery monster,
big as a building…
Blood is pouring
over the spillway.
A crack in the dam and
flooding the city.
We're conjuring angels,
and daft, little demons.
Our city is leveled.
Willamettero…
Willamettero…
Willamettero...
Willamettero,
we touched a nerve.
I know, I know.
Willamettero.
We get what we deserve.
Willamettero,
I snuck a kiss.
I know, I know.
Willamettero.
In this abyss.
Willamettero,
we touched a nerve.
I know, I know.
Willamettero.
We get what we deserve.
Willamettero,
I snuck a kiss.
I know, I know.
Willamettero.
This bittersweet abyss...
I broke a heart.
But I put it back together.
Then I stopped the beat,
with my mind....
Willamettero,
You are a scourge from
the very bottom
of this dirty river.
Willamettero!
King Of Sturgeon!
You are the kraken,
the kraken of Portland…
Silt under slick rock.
A circling chicken hawk.
This is our memento,
our memento mori.
I hope we are brave enough.
I hope we are strong enough.
I hope we live long enough
to tell this story…

Let's keep it together.
Let the world fall apart...
Let's keep it together.
Let the world fall apart...
Let's keep it together.
Let the world fall apart...
Let's keep it together.
Let the world fall apart...
I am in a jim-jam.
Caught up in the flim-flam.
You're not? Well, mister, you are
a better man than I am.
Let's keep it together.
Let the world fall apart...
Let's keep it together.
Let the world fall apart...
Let's keep it together.
Let the world fall apart...
Future looking rosy.
Pocket full of posies.
Then it turned to ashes.
Now my pocket's empty.
Let's keep it together.
Let's keep it together...
Haven't heard the worst part.
Fell for such a dark art.
Magic taking over.
Now I'm making moonbeams.
Shimmering on the water.
See the water moving.
When the sun came up,
was only making movies.
Let's keep it together.
Let the world fall apart...
Let's keep it together.
Let the world fall apart...
I am in a jim-jam.
Caught up in the flim-flam.
A vessel, vacant virgo
thanked me for the wham-bam.
Let's keep it together.
Let the world fall apart.
Let's keep it together.
Let the world fall apart.
Let's keep it together.
Let the world fall apart.
Let's keep it together.
Let the world fall apart...

Pleiades
05:24
|
|||
|
And in the middle
of a field full of holes.
I was fooling with the foilage,
vehemently opposed,
at the very least or most,
to the idea they proposed.
Such a whitewash, such a hoax.
My understanding juxstaposed....
Cross my heart and hope to die
on a rock ascending to the sky...
That's when we become Pleiades!
Cross my heart and hope to die
on a rock ascending to the sky...
While the bear held us at bay,
I heard one of my sisters say
'it's the flesh he craves the most.'
And I believed her, how his claws
were scratching grooves across the vinyl.
Sad song spinning on a turntable.
Oh, the signs, well, they were vital,
though the the rinds of fruitless titles
kept the others from survival.
We were bound by our commitment
to a heavenly arrival.
To a heavenly arrival...
Cross my heart and hope to die
on a rock ascending to the sky...
That's when we become Pleiades!
Cross my heart and hope to die
on a rock ascending to the sky...
That's when we become Pleiades!
Cross my heart and hope to die
on a rock ascending to the sky...
And as I fiddled with the foilage
in a field full of holes
dug by prairie dogs and voles,
my sisters screamed for my attention.
If it wasn't for their calling,
oh, my life might be much different.
I might be inside the bear,
not a burning ball of fire.
If it wasn't for their calling,
oh, my life might be much different.
I might be inside the bear,
not a burning ball of fire.
Burning ball of fire...
Pleiades!
Pleiades!
Pleiades!
Pleiades!
Cross my heart and hope to die
on a rock ascending to the sky...
That's when we become Pleiades!
Cross my heart and hope to die
on a rock ascending to the sky...
That's when we become Pleiades!
When, at once, this wild night ends...
That's when we become Pleiades!
That's when we become Pleiades!
When next to Hyades, we are suspended...
That's when we become Pleiades!
Taurus rising, and Ursa upended...
That's when we become Pleiades!
Cross my heart and hope to die
on a rock ascending to the sky...
That's when we become Pleiades!
When, at once, this wild night ends...
That's when we become Pleiades!
As the air becomes much thinner,
so much colder than any winter
I can ever remember.
I wonder if the bear is hungry
cuz tonight, there is one thing
I am sure of:
I am alive.
I am alive.
I am alive.
I am alive...

Saturnalia!

Io Saturnalia!
Io Saturnalia!
Io Saturnalia!
Io Saturnalia!
Mother Destruction,
among the collection.
Awaiting instruction
and building god's erection...
You of those rings,
and other pretty things.
I plunge headlong
into your everything.
Io Saturnalia!
Io Saturnalia!
When the first fire melts the snow.
When the blips no longer glow.
That's the moment we will know
what this sacrifice is for.
When the first fire melts the snow.
When the blips no longer glow.
That's the moment we will know
what this sacrifice is for.
For Saturnalia!
Io Saturnalia!
(solo)
Mother Destruction,
among the collection.
Awaiting instruction,
and building god's erection...
You of those rings,
and other pretty things.
I plunge headlong
into your everything.
You of those rings,
and other pretty things.
I plunge headlong
into your everything.
Io Saturnalia!
Io Saturnalia!
On this night,
I serve to you the blessed and enlightened.
Tick tock,
throw your rock and hit the broad side of Titan.
If all is right,
the white knights, they will bow and begleitan.
The gates will open wide
and I will walk inside this,
this Saturnalia!
When the first fire melts the snow.
When the blips no longer glow.
That's the moment we will know
what this sacrifice is for.
Io Saturnalia!
Io Saturnalia!

Wormhole

Oh, we dare you,
trip those wires.
Oh, we dare you,
set that fire.
Oh, we dare you,
be the one.
The one who dares to
tunnel under.
Truth
is a bitch.
Flipping switches,
this is it.
This tree
is bearing fruit.
And we eat until we
know the truth.
Truth
is a bitch.
Flipping switches,

This tree

And we eat until we

Oh, we dare you,
make up names.
Oh, we dare you,
fan those flames.
Oh, we dare you,
shift that blame
to the one who dares to
tunnel under.
Truth
is a bitch.
Flipping switches,
this is it.
This tree

And we eat until we

(solo)
Truth

Flipping switches,

This tree

And we eat until we
know the truth.
Truth
is a bitch.
Flipping switches,
this is it.
This tree
is bearing fruit.
And we eat until we
know the truth.
Tunnel under,
through the apple,
to the core and
cry no more.
No more tears and
no more sorrow.
No more truth and
no tomorrow.
Funneling
into the wormhole.
Where we're going,
I don't know.
No more tears and
no more sorrow.
No more truth and
no tomorrow.
(solo)
Disassembled
as we pass through.
We are bits and pieces.
We say...
Oh, we dare you,
break those hearts.
Oh, we dare you,
make those marks.
Oh, we dare you,
tear apart
and asunder those who
tunnel under.
Truth
is a bitch.
Flipping switches,
this is it.
This tree
is bearing fruit.
And we eat until we
know the truth.
Tunnel under,
through the apple,
to the core and
cry no more.
No more tears and
no more sorrow.
No more truth and
no tomorrow.
Funneling
into the wormhole...

No, I was Panthalassa.
Take it down a little.
Me, Pangaea?
And I, Panthalassa...
Well, I got congealed, mmmmmm,
in a glass of molasses.
Then all was revealed
in a script about our classless nature.
'Fraid ya

the way I do about it.
And everybody move like Eleanor.
She got one foot in, one out the door.
Then everybody count: 1-2-3-4.
Everybody move to the right...

Everybody back to the left...

Fuckin' with the temperature.
Give me bread and circuses.
Separate the classes.
Room is getting hotter.
Body burning, boiling water.
Fiddle with the middle,
little fodder for the masses...
The center,
to the right of her.
Say, as I was,
or, as you were.
Displeasure.
Mistook you for Eleanor.
She was a flower...
The center,

Derision
05:21

At this point, the sun was too close.
And her skin was on fire...
Derision.
Derision.
Burning with desire...
Derision.
It's a beautiful world.
Derision.
On television...
Derision.
It's a beautiful world.
Derision.
And we are the truth...
And we say...
Mockery, mockery.
Make me a laughing stock.
Fakery, fakery.
Tragedy, comedy.
Trickery, trickery.
That, which you flick at me is...
Derision.
It's a beautiful world.
Derision.
On television...
Derision.
Such a beautiful world.
Derision.
And we are the truth...
And we say...
Robbery, robbery.
Fuckery, fuckery.
Witchery, witchery.
Don't mean a thing to me.
Mockery, mockery.
Make me a laughing stock.
It's just fakery.
Make me a martyr...
Trickery, trickery.
It's all the same to me.
Sycophant, sycophant.
Kneel at the altar.
Defeat or victory.
It's all the same.
I'm sick of it, sick of it.
Make me a martyr...
Derision.
It's a beautiful world.
Derision.
On television...
Derision.
Such a beautiful world.
Derision.
And we are the truth...
And we say...
Mockery, mockery.
Make me a laughing stock.
Fakery, fakery.
Tragedy, comedy...
Trickery, trickery.
That, which you flick at me is.
Robbery, robbery.
Fuckery, fuckery.
Robbery, robbery.
Fuckery, fuckery.
Robbery, robbery.
Derision.
Aspiration is...
Derision.
Antithetical...
Derision.
The death of democracy is...
Derision.
And as the fire fueled her desire,
her skin turned into stardust.
Either cold as ether or bold
as a galaxy unfolding.
Stories told and/or untold.
Now, we're left ,
holding this and/or that.
Robbery, robbery.
Fuckery, fuckery.
Witchery, witchery.
Don't mean a thing to me.
Mockery, mockery.
Make me a laughing stock.
Fakery, fakery.
Make me a martyr...
Trickery, trickery.
It's all the same to me.
Sycophant, sycophant.
Kneel at the altar.
Defeat or victory.
It's all the same to me.
Sick of it, sick of it.
Make me a martyr...
Derision.
Desperation is...
Derision.
The death of democracy is...
Derision.
The ghost of America is...
Derision.
When her desire swallowed the sun,
and the galaxy expired...
