5. Silver Apples
1. Of Blowjobs and Cocktails
With hemlock breath you tell me things / Noxious whispers / Amphetamine / Intoxicated faery tales / A bed of roses / A bed of nails
Down into the dark beneath the floors / Above the lights / Beyond the doors / You know my mind can be a whore / So I´ll bang it really sore
I´m cycling strapped into a wheel / And there is nothing / There´s nothing I couldn´t have been / I´ll waste a week / And save a dime / I´m all wound up biding my time
I wanna party all the time / Grow myself a second head / Be a party guy and a party gal / You know the check is in the mail / And just like blowjobs and cocktails / I´m fine / Fuck me if I ain´t fine
I´ve learnt to love the nightmares / In my damaged brain / Stowaway in this hellbound train / If God don´t love you / Buy a gun and be a man / Know the pride of the damned / Go on and be a man / Try and make of it what you can
2. Cold Hummingbird
I am all alone / Curled up on the kitchen floor I lie / Snow is falling down / Perfect patterns in night sky / Pure white noise between my ears / A clean white thing / In the corner of my vision / Loaded with apple wine / And turkeys stuffed and cold / With a cool cough / I sought some velvet medicaton / To blow away the thoughts that secured me / At the station
Mercury vacation / On the brink of white damnation / I want a room with a view / A room with a deja vu
Go on and sing cold humming bird / Of the borders of my world / Sing low cold humming bird / Of the borders of my world
Covered with blood of swine / I am a demon from hell / The mummy´s curse / I am the Devil´s rain / And everything is just the same / Everything is just the same
If I should die before I wake / Pray my soul to take / Hum a song for my sake / Cold humming bird
3. Speed Doll
4. Babylon Astronaut
Two feet have I / Pillars of putrid meat / Standing so tall among my / Icons of filth / With gargoyle eyes / I see / The Christ he´s smiling at me / His phosphorous grin / An absolution for all my sins
And in this room / The walls covered with flies / I´m seen through their / Myriad eyes / The alien eyes / I´m seen somewhere else / Seen through the windows of Hell
A few million / Light years from home / I am searching for a different kind of / Insanity / The Babylon astronaut
Could you leave it all behind?
(There is no evil)
I see the stars painted on the window´s glass / Seven planets supporting the nothingness / And I am happy / Nothing more, nothing less )
(There is no evil
Something came to my room / As flies on the ceiling / Coming down on me / One by one / And their hairy limbs / Crawling on my naked skin / The motherfuckers screwing on me / Insect sex
No I won´t move / As my ears are laden with eggs / Close my eyes / And dream of being back in the womb
"Under the juniper trees Talking cats and silver boots filled with Blood"
Could you leave it all behind?
Under another sun / I´ll grow saturnine / Lay siege to heaven / In fever dreams / And I smash my head / Into the window´s glass / And see the stars come down at last
5. Silver Apples
The earth becomes gold / And gold earth / A promise inhaled / With the breath of our birth / We chase the dragon / Trip the lights / Burning our eyes / On marvelous sights
We are there (once awake) / Once asleep (never more) / Can we open the door
And in the end / We kiss the ones / Sleeping next to us / With the lips of a snake / Heart full of Hell / Fearing that they would wake / So fragile they could break
The silver apples of our truth / Green and gold of bygone youth / Haunting us each day to / Return anew / And day by day the thing inside / Grows and devours us alive / Just as sure as we will die / Just as sure as we will die
