lyrics

In the meadow having sex with a corpse
Eternity is in the smallest things
Vaguely swallowed up into the vortex
I think I'm growing wings
And as the flowers slowly die
I'm reaching my climax;
The sphinx conceiving a family of flies
Carrying my lies on their backs

Heart-attacks for everyone
And that will be a relief
Compared to the custom of arbitrary fun
That awaits us past our grief
But no things considered; the planet just withered
As it slithered out of control
So what is a murderous ape to do with the responsibility
That another raped and stole?

You got to play that stupid rock'n'roll
Stupid is the sacred spark
To light a fire in your soul
And everything turns to gold
But its shadow will remain in the dark domain
Of that stupid rock'n'roll

Slovenia's cold now
I'm glad that I'm not there
But there's something about your eyes
Sending heat waves through the air
Across the globe and into guts
Of saddened mopes like me
Who spends the day in telescopes
Tracing my own trajectory

Because I am a comet
And I'm coming to you soon
But since I am a woman
You'll mistake me for the moon
And gaze at me in naked silence
To get a glimpse of that which deceives
Both of your ears receiving
The sound of my dry autumn-leaves
Like thieves who believe
In the reefs of wonder

Under stupid rock'n'roll, they stole
My stupid song, the sacred spark
To light a fire in your soul
And everything turns to gold
But its shadow will remain in the dark domain
Of that stupid rock'n'roll

And when the truth ignites
That blaze of fire in the sky
You'll feel the serpents bite
And the force of its venom will defy
All those laws of nature
The ones you previously thought
To be foundations of a mature truth
You thought could be chased down and caught

You sought it in the meadows
And also deep in space
But nothing compares to the rose
That bloomed in the noon of your grace
Projected on a human being
Seemingly of spiritual wealth
But what you see isn't always what you get
As you always get back to yourself
Like a sleeper in an unmade bed
Who never really sees himself
As his dreams hang by a thread
Returning the gold to the Self
