1.Twilight

Twilight
I fall in the Harbor
Twilight
I fall in the hills
But here in the city
That never sleeps
I can fall
Through one's fingers

When the swan
Flies to heaven
Soaring through
The utmost fear
There's a feeling
That lingers in the afterwards
Will you ever return
Will you ever return
Will you ever return

Twilight
Twilight
Twilight

Twilight
I sit at all tables
With my candles
And angels besides
And I shall wait forever
As the day turns to night
Swallowed in the shadows that glow
Swallowed in the shadows that glow
Swallowed in the shadows that glow

When I sought out a light
And I knew darkness swallowed
I beseech, come to me
All alone, come to me

Twilight


2.Cripple and the Starfish

Mr. Muscle forcing bursting
Stingy thingy into little me, me, me
But just 'ripple' said the cripple
As my jaw dropped to the ground
Smile smile

It's true I always wanted love to be
Hurtful
And it's true I always wanted love to be
Filled with pain
And bruises

Yes, so Cripple-Pig was happy
Screamed ' I just compeletely love you!
And there's no rhyme or reason
I'm changing like the seasons
Watch! I'll even cut off my finger
It will grow back like a Starfish!
It will grow back like a Starfish!
It will grow back like a Starfish!'

Mr. Muscle, gazing boredly
And he checking time did punch me
And I sighed and bleeded like a windfall
Happy bleedy, happy bruisy

I am very happy
So please hit me
I am very very happy
So please hurt me

I am very happy
So please hit me
I am very very happy
So come on hurt me

I'll grow back like a Starfish
I'll grow back like a Starfish
I'll grow back like a Starfish
I'll grow back like a Starfish

I'll grow back like a Starfish
I'll grow back like a Starfish
I'll grow back like a Starfish
I'll grow back like a Starfish
Like a Starfish...


3.Hitler in my Heart

As I search for a piece of kindness
And I find Hitler in my heart

And he is whispering
'As sure as love will spring
From the Well of Blood in Vain, oh Jew!
The Well of Blood in Vain!'
La la la la la la

And I fell into a deeper precipice
With mouths of rapists
Jaws dropped down
Jaws dropped down
Jaws dropped

Don't punish me
For wanting your love inside of me
Don't punish me
For wanting your love inside of me

And I find Hitler in my heart
From the corpses flowers grow

And I find Hitler in my heart
From the corpses flowers grow

And I find Hitler in my heart
From the corpses flowers grow
Flowers grow
From the corpses flowers grow
Flowers grow


4.The Atrocities

God visits all lost souls
To survey the damage
We noticed a bonfire
Burning in his eyes

He whispered
'It's the atrocities of your story
Of your story'

God visits all lost souls
To survey the damage
And holding his bleeding heart
A tear comes to his eye
He whispered
It's the atrocities of History
Of History
Of...

The he falls to the floor
For there's many more tears on the sunrise
And now we must eat those tears
Now we must eat our fill
Of the Atrocities
The Atrocities
The Atrocities
The Atrocities


5.River of Sorrow

There is a black river
It passes by my window
And late at night
All dolled up like Christ
I walk the water
Between the piers

Singing
Oh
River of sorrow
River of time, river
River of sorrow
Don't swallow this time

For we all know the baby has expired
Long ago she was pulled from the mire
And no precious liar or well-wisher
Can return the love that was stolen

Oh
River of sorrow
River of time, river
River of sorrow
Don't swallow this time

Can you see the light
At the end of the dark passageway
Take me wit you towads this light
Into the darkness passing over the faces in the river
Hear me!
I'm whispering in your ear!

Oh
River of sorrow
Oh, river of time
River of sorrow
Don't swallow this time

Oh
River of sorrow
Oh, river of time
River of sorrow
Don't swallow this time


6.Rapture

Rapture...

Eyes are falling
Lips are falling
Hair is falling to the ground
Slowly, softly
Falling, falling
Down in silence to the ground
All the world is falling, falling
All the blue
From me and you
Teardrops falling to the ground
Teardrops
I'm talkin' 'bout your teardrops

For instance
Oh my mama
She's been falling
Falling down for quite some time
And oh my papa
He's been falling
Falling down for quite some time
Oh my friends
I've watched them falling
Falling softly to the ground
Like the leaves
The Leaves are falling
Down in silence to the ground

Is this the rapture
Is this the rapture
Why don't you tell me
Is this the rapture
Is this the rapture
Our father who art in heaven
For the kingdom, the power, the glory, yours
Now and forever


7.Deeper than Love

My heart is broken
Here in the cup of my hands
From between cracked fingers
Old blood spills

I had to move on, baby
For when I tasted my own tears
They were too sweet
And I knew that I had come to close

And I have tried to shine in the darkness
Entertaining vanities in vain

Fall deeper
Fall deeper

My heart is broken
Here in the cup of my hands
From between cracked fingers
Old blood spills

I had to move on, baby
For when I tasted my own tears
They were too sweet
And I knew that I had come to close

And I have tried to shine in the darkness
Entertaining vanities in vain
But now won't you come with me
As I open my eyes

And hold on
Hold on
And let go
Let go
Let the virus live a life
Hold on
And hold on
And let go
Let go
And fall deeper
Even than love
Even than love
Hold on
And fall deeper
Even than love
Even than love
Even than love...


8.Divine

Good-Bye, baby
Baby, good-bye
Divine, oh Divine
Falling like a picture of time

Oh he was the Mother of America
He was my self-determined guru
Myself, I hold your big fat heart in my hands

And I hold your burning heart in my hands
A supernova
A flame on fire
Shining in the darkness

Did someone mention a rapture
Well I turn to think of you
Who walked the way with so much pain
Who holds the mirror up to fools

And I'll murder the ingrates
Who stand in our way!
And I'll swallow shit, laughing
On my bed of hay!

And I hold your burning heart in my hands
And I hold your burning heart in my hands
A supernova
A flame on fire
Shining in the darkness

Divine
Divine

A supernova
A flame on fire
Shining in the darkness


9.Blue Angel

Blue angel

It's the memory of your warmth
That keeps me alive
When I'm burning
And my world's closing in

Oh I'm on fire
Oh I'm on fire

I hold on to a wheel of burning fear

Oh I'm on fire
Oh I'm on fire

And then the sky is falling in
And I see your eyes

Hiding in the shadows
Hiding in the flames

Oh I'm on fire
Oh I'm on fire
I'm on fire...

It's the memory of your warmth
That keeps me alive
When I'm burning
And my world's closing in

Oh I'm on fire
Oh I'm on fire
I'm on fire

When I feel like I am dying
And soon I shall expire

I'm on fire
Oh I'm on fire
I'm on fire
Why is that
That I feel like I'm on fire

Blue angel
