What Would the Community Think
Album - 10 settembre 1996 - Debaser id 25446

In this hole that we have fixed
We get further, and further, and further
From what
We must do

I saw you asleep beside a wall
Your skull inside a wall
Your eyes blackened by the sound
And the thought of God

Where should I hang my head?
Where would you like for me to hang
My head?

One absence of truth
The one horrible thing I saw:
What you truly wanted to become
And who you thought I was
The fall, the fall
Afraid the love
Runs deeper than the brain
Goes all the way down those tracks
Everybody bow your head
For the greatest inspiration
A complete contradiction
Of ways

In this hole that we have fixed
We get further and further
From what we must do
I know this, I know this
You know this, you know this

In this hole that we have fixed
We get further, and further, and further
From what we must do

I saw you outside that wall
Your skull outside that wall
Your eyes christened by the sound
And the light of God

I still have a flame gun
For the cute, cute, cute ones

And I saw your hand
With a loose grip
On a tight ship

I still have a flame gun
For the cute ones
To burn out all your tricks
And I saw your hand
With a loose grip
On a very tight ship

And I know
In the cold light
There's a very big man
There's a very big man
Leading us into
Temptation

Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me
Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me

And he's related to you
He's related to you
He is waiting to meet you

He's related to you
He's related to you
He is dying to meet you

Backhand, role reversal
Where is someone?
Backhand, reversible roles
I know there's someone

I still have a flame gun
For the cute ones
To burn out all your tricks
And I saw your hand
With a loose grip
On such a tight ship

And I know in the cold light
There's a very big man
Leading us into
Temptation

Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me
Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me

And he's related to you
He's related to you
He is waiting to meet you

He's related to you
He's related to you
He is dying to meet you

He's related to you
He's related to you
He's related to you
He's nude as the news, nude as the news
Nude as the news, nude as the news
All over, all over, all over, all over, all over, all over, all over
You

( Smog )

When I was seven I told my mother,
To take me to the bay and put me on a ship.

Silver swordfish electric,
I can feel or dream down here.

If the water should cut my mind,
If the water should cut my life,
If the water should cut my mind,
Set me free,
I don't care,
I want to live in a bathysphere.

When I was seven my father said to me,
"But you can't swim."
And I've never dreamed of the sea again.

If the water should cut my life,
If the water should cut my line,
If the water should cut my mind,
Set me free,
I don't care,
I want to live in a bathysphere.

I was dragged out by the shore man
A very poor man
A very nice man
A family man

My lover drifted down the river,
Below the dark water
The devil all around

Yesterday on the street,
Someone called out your name
Someone thought that you were me

Last night there was a party
I could not go
I walked around it
I thought about it
All night long

Today there's a newspaper
About you and me
And the day we were married,
The same day

The same day they fell in love
The same day they died in love

I did not want you to die alone

Rusty river run down
Run, run as fast as you can, oh, run
Rusty river run ragged
And drag my lover's self back to me
I'll meet him there:
Water and air

Oh, to be at the bottom of a river,
Below the dark water,
The devil all around,
The devil all around

My intuition said it was
My intuition said it was fair
All you should know there's
Not enough to go around

Here they go again
I can see 'em
As they try they try to take it out on me
Here they go again I can
Watch closer now
I can watch closer now

They can't find enough
To take enough from me
They can't find enough
To take enough from me
Guess I go down

Said it wasn't but I guess it was
Say it wasn't but I guess it ends

Here they go again
I can, try, try

My Intuition knocked again fair
All you should know by now is there's
Not enough to go around

But I never go that way
The other half of me said I should
Throw it down the drain
Throw it down the drain

They can't find enough
To take enough from me
They can't find enough
To take enough from me

I've seen the hordes of war
Looking down that drain
At your heart
Here they go and they try

Mother don't sit
Mother don't stand
Mother don't send me

Sister come and lay your head on me,
I can see you haven't had any sleep in a long time

That baby's gonna be so easy on me,
Never see his smile
Never see his face

Father said he was gonna give me something,
He gave me hate

Mother don't sit
Mother don't stand
Mother don't send me

Brother can't even speak,
He's got a tongue and two legs to walk on,
And he can't leave
Brother is old and gray,
Brother is old and gray,
Brother is old and gray,
And he's only
He's only seventeen

Father said he was gonna give me something,
He gave me hate

Mother don't sit
Mother don't stand
Mother please don't send me
