Lyrics

 * Just like you I am a wanderer Wandering, wondering Outrunning all my previous lives So cleave to me just like a tiny storm A raining and a thundering Coming out of clear blue skies - "All I Know"


 * There were many guests at the table Misfortune, jealousy, and sloth Acting fine, drink the wine Spill it on the tablecloth - "Feast"


 * And she beckons to you with her fingers and lies She says: can't you slice the price of your paradise. ~ A Month of Sundays


 * Like a womb, the night was all around ~ Disappear


 * Ugliness you have to know, beauty you can't teach ~ Disappear


 * You stare down at some crowd from your trapeze And when you fell they fell down on their knees And when you broke they scrambled for a piece And when you spoke I felt their anger freeze. ~ Metropolis


 * I paid eighty dollars for this wedding ring, I couldn't take it off if I tried... ~ Hotel Womb


 * She put her foot down on the oscillation pedal, she was a transdimensional speeder... ~ Terra Nova Cain


 * The pines smell sweet in the frozen air, and their silhoutte's just fading there, the wolves crouch close, against the snow but where we're running I don't know, In villages and soft sad towns the candles sway as night comes down, cold bones creak and strange beasts cry, watching shadows in the sky... All I have, all I need, all I got.....is providence. ~ Providence


 * On this very spot a great city once stood, It oozed with evil but it felt so good... ~ City


 * It's never as good as I hoped or as bad as I feared ~ Into My Hands


 * In the space between our houses some bones have been discovered but our procession lurches on as if we have recovered... ~ Destination


 * Great cities, or the endless beautiful plains stretched out before his jaded gaze and disappeared into the nothingness of his feeling. ~ Fall in Love


 * Follow her down to worship some god Who never speaks to me, I wonder if that's odd Then he says you're never listening. ~ Lost


 * The universe is female Eluding the science of men You sway and you swagger with your neat little dagger You're gonna blow it again .... I'll prove her existence in everything The soul of her rivers and stones Her acquiescence in everything Her essence, her presence, her bones. ~ Essence


 * The world keeps spinning, people keep sinning all the rest is just bullshit. ~ Authority


 * You can't be a lover if you want to keep on using What are you using that's stronger than the love Sometimes I'm knocked out by the damage that you're doing Knocked out, locked out, push comes to shove Listen to the wind tearing at the windows Watching how the white moon melts into the cloud Important little tyrants, impotent little pharaohs Men/man of sorrows lost into the crowd ~ Richochet


 * Sometimes I wander under prehistoric skys Here she comes with a penetrating stare cold desert stars feel and sparkle like frost, they are so lost his seed of adulation is your butter and your bread, it's an exquisite corpse and its lips are red If you're alone and you're feeling blue, everyone in Persia probably feels like you do. ~ Lost


 * Why are those buildings swaying like trees? ~ Hotel Womb


 * Close to you, hear all you say Even though you're continents away ~ It Doesn't Change


 * I've got a nickname for you, I call you weakness I get a little strength out too, or is it meekness ~ Paradox


 * Everything is going wrong All my songs are coming true ~ Mistress


 * Inside the car sat a sulky blonde And on her lap the road went on and on As she dresses I look to the ground Perhaps I know where the place can be found, and on ~ The Night is Very Soft


 * Beyond that void is a place Where figments from bad dreams are banished Childhood nightmares all come seeking And adult logic nearly vanished ~ Chaos


 * Our instruments have no way of measuring this feeling Had ever got below the floor Or penetrate the ceiling ~ Destination


 * So now we're cruisin' down this shuddering highway with the dead sun shining on my back. ~ Myrrh


 * Loving, we've been loving, but sometimes hate is better You can't keep out the killers with love, man Hating, we've been hating, but only love can heal up the hate ~ Nightfriends
