lyrics

For the sufferings to come,
who here can be assured?
Only peace, deep peace - for this, for this
step aside.

... and we walked a narrow path in the black,
and I looked back at the great pyramid,
and bid goodbye to harmony,
peace and any certainty.
Let's go up and east,
ditch these rebel clothes,
dress sharp as a shard
and crack.

The wind cries "die" where the coocoo clock flies.
Time always passes by one way or another
at least we've got eachother
and I've known you forever,
me and you and they together
can get it together...
can groove!

Groove!
Moving together, gathering weather
move to the beat with a skin like leather.
The hardwood creaks as the gang all gathers
in a dismal den of the twisting masses.
I'm free.
Free to join.
Free to sink with a tumbling weight
and fall like the moon over autumnal rivers,
and every step she takes is a funeral flame.
I'm down, down in the fire of now,
bring your huddled masses, tell' em they're HIRED!
Scrambling just to breathe,
screaming to breathe no more.
It can go either way.
I've got all night or more (or more).
Alright? Alright.

Move your eyes like kites down the wind.
Down the stream we go again.

Get fixed / again.
Get limber, now.
Get fixed!
Get some barren woman's womb,
torch it, bring the embers.
Put 'em in the pile!
We've got to be really quiet!
Always almost silent. So quiet.
There's no telling who or what
will wake up in the night.
I've got a friend, and maybe he wonders
just what kind of god it is that shakes him now with thunder.
He's got the tendons to groove!
Hardwired to groove!
And there's a whole host of hangers-on
ready to ride on his noose

at the monster party,
the snazzy monster party,
and everyone you can recall was there,
invitation only.

at the monster party,
the glitzy monster party
and they'll talk about things from far away
before they've even started.

I need a hand with a head.
We're gonna summon the dead
and send them right back and sadly
pray that we die next.
Curse this house!

If you're reading this - Gods of the Dead is the good one. Listen to that first if you're going to listen to anything on here. It's actually pretty solid.

Atlanta Monsters' Ball is also nice.
