To Venus and Back
Album - 1 gennaio 1999 - Debaser id 453

Father I killed my monkey
I let it out
to taste the sweet of spring
wonder if I will wander out
test my tether to
see if I'm still free
from you

steady as it comes
right down
to you
I've said it all
so maybe we're a Bliss
of another kind

lately, I'm in to circuitry
what it means to be
made of you but not enough of you
and I wonder if
you can bilocate is that what I taste
your supernova juice
you know it's true I'm a part of you

steady as it comes
right down to you
I've said it all
so maybe you're a 4 horse engine
with a power drive
a hot kachina who want into mine
take with your terracide
we're a Bliss of another kind

Dropped off the edge again
down in Juarez
“don’t even bat an eye
if the eagle cries”
the Rasta man says, just
cause the desert likes
young girl’s flesh and
no angel came
no angel came

I don’t think you even know
what you think you just said
so go on and spill your seed
shake your gun to the rasta man’s head
'cause the desert - she must be blessed and
no angel came
no angel came
listen, darling
no angel came

there’s a time to keep it up
a time to keep it in
the Indian is told
the cowboy is his friend
a time to keep it up, boys
a time to keep it in
the Indian is told
the cowboy is his friend
you know that I can breathe
even when I cheat
should. should’ve been over for me
listen, darling
no angel came
no angel came
no angel came
listen, darling
no angel came
no angel came
no angel came
no angel came

Clouds descending... I'm not policing what you think and dream.
I run into your thought from cross the room.
Just another trick... can I weather this?
I've got a fever above my waist, you got a squeezebox on your knee.
I know the truth is in between the 1st and the 40th drink...

Concertina, concertina, a chill that bends.
This I swear, you're the fiercest calm I've been in.
Concertina, concertina, try infrared.
This I swear, you're the fiercest calm... I've been in...

The soul-quake happened here in a glass world.
Particle by particle she slowly changes.
She likes hanging Chinese paper cuts.
Just another fix... can I weather this?
I got my fuzz all tipped to play. I got a dub on your landscape.
Then there's your policy of trancing the sauce without the blame...

Concertina, concertina, a chill that bends.
This I swear, you're the fiercest calm I've been in...
Concertina, concertina, try infrared.
This I swear, you're the fiercest calm... I've been in...

Too far... Too far... Too far...
It could all get away, too cheerful, no no no.
I've got a fever above my waist, you got a squeezebox on your knee.
I know the truth lies between the 1st and the 40th drink...

Concertina, concertina, a chill that bends.
This I swear, you're the fiercest calm I've been in...
Concertina, concertina, try infrared.
This I swear, you're the fiercest calm... I've been in...
Clouds descending...

I took a taxi from LA to Venus in 1985
I was electromagnetically sucked back
into a party going on that night
it was the glories of the 80's
with karma drawn up in lines
and two bugle boy models saying, baby,
it's free-bee you sure look deprived

I had the Story of O' in my bucket seat
of my wanna be mustang
auditioning for reptiles in their
Raquel Welsh campaign

in the glories of the 80's
you said, 'I'm not afraid to die'
I said, I don't find that remotely funny
even on this space cake high
and then it all seemed clear
just then you go and disappear

silicone party barbies to the left and
Joan of Arcs to the right
no one feeling insecure we were
all gorge and famous in our last lives

and the glories of the 80's you said
'the end is nothing to fear' I said
blow the end now baby
who do I gotta shag to get outta here
and then when it all seemed clear
just then you go and disappear

sure you're out there orbiting around
wish I had you back now

I met a drag king called Venus
she had a velvet hologram, she said
'my husband ran off with my shaman
but they love me as I am'

in the glories of the 80's
I may not have to die
I'll clone myself
like that blonde chick
that sings Betty Davis eyes
and then when it all seemed clear
just then you go and disappear

Hey you, gender nectar,
sifting through the grain of gold tripping at your door.
Is that you alpha in her blood
and when the woman lies you don't believe her.

Rolling and unrolling coiling emerging running free
running through the underworld into your room

Is he real or a ghost-lie,
she feels she isn't heard
and the veil tears and rages
until her voices are remembered and his secrets can be told

Hey you gender nectar,
crystalline from the vine
you know you'll drink her

Rolling and unrolling, coiling emerging running free
running through the afterworld into your room

So she prays for a prankster and lust in the marriage bed
and he waits til she can give and he waits and he waits

suede suede suede sude

You always felt like suede.
There are days I feel your twin
Peek-a-boo
Hiding underneath your skin.
Jets are revving
Revving from a central source, and this,
This power over me-
Not because you feel something or don't feel something for me,
But because
Mass so big it can swallow, swallow her whole star intact.

Call me "evil" call me "tide is on your side"
Anything that you want.
Anybody knows you can conjure anything by the dark of the moon.
Boy and if you keep your silence silencer on
You'll talk yourself right into a job.
But out of a hole.
But into my bayou, into my, my bayou. Suede.

I'm sure that you've been briefed
My absorption lines,
They are frayed and I fear
My fear is greater than my faith,
But I walk the missionary way.
You always felt like suede.
There are days I am your twin
Peek-a-boo, hiding underneath your skin.
Jets are revving, yes, revving from an ether twist.

Call me "evil" call me "tide is on your side"
Anything that you want.
Anybody knows you can conjure anything by the dark of the moon.
Boy, and if you keep your silence silencer on
You'll talk yourself right into a job.
But out of a hole, but into my bayou, into my, my bayou. Suede.

Oh... little sister I hope you didn't feel that way,
And oh... little sister I'm glade you came,
And I said, oh, little sister I hoped you wouldn't feel that way,
And oh... little sister, oh again,
And I said, oh, little sister I hope you didn't feel that way,
And oh... I'm still glad you came,
I said, oh, little sister I wished you didn't feel that way,
And oh, little girl I'd do the same again said,
Oh... little sister I hoped you wouldn't feel that way,
Oh... I said I wished, oh... little sister you'll forgive me one day,
You'll forgive me one, one. Suede.

You know what you know
So you go and break
the terror of the
Urban spell
This alliance you say
'I'm on the threshold of greatness girl'
So you burn your pagoda through the congo
till there's a broken bond
On the birth of the search
white trash my native son

It will all find its way in time

Blossom, Riot Poof

You know what you know
So you go chain her
to your flow
She bites through your dry lean meat
as she's going to the movie show
In a bath of glitter and a tiny shiver
she crawls through your java sea
Black sahara I'm stepping into
your space oddity

It will all find its way in time

Blossom, Riot Poof

The sun is warming my man is moistening
On the bomb on the bond on the bomb

Well I know it's just a spring haze
but I don't much like the look of it
and if omens are a godsend like men
breezing in

certain these clouds go somewhere
billowing out to somewhere

in a single engine cessna
you say we'll never make it there
so all we do is circle it

Uh oh, let go
off on my way
unseen this eternal wanting
uh oh way to go
so I get creamed
waiting for sunday to drown
uh oh waiting on, waiting on sunday
waiting on sunday to land
uh oh so if I really get creamed
waiting for sunday to drown

well I know it's just a spring haze
but I don't much like the look of it
and all we do is circle it
and I found out where my edge is
and it bleeds into where you resist
and my only way way out is to go
so far in

billowing out to somewhere
billowing out luna riviera
billowing out to somewhere

uh oh let go
off on my way
unseen this eternal wanting
uh oh way to go
so I get creamed
waiting for sunday to drown
waiting for sunday to drown

why does it always end up like this
why does it always end up like this
why does it always end up like this

uh oh let go
off on my way
unseen this eternal wanting
uh oh way to go
so I get creamed
waiting for sunday to drown
uh oh way to go
so I get creamed
waiting for sunday to land
waiting on sunday waiting on sunday to land
uh oh so if I really get creamed
waiting for sunday to drown

These tears I've cried
I've cried 1,000 oceans
and if it seems
I'm floating in the darkness
Well, I can't believe that I would keep
keep you from flying
And I would cry 1,000 more
If that's what it takes
to sail you home sail you home
Sail you home, sail you home

I'm aware what the rules are
But you know that I will run
You know that I will follow you
Over Silbury Hill through the solar field
You know that I will follow you
And if I find you, will you still remember
Playing at trains
Or does this little blue ball just fade away
Over Silbury Hill through the solar field
You know that I will follow you
I'm aware what the rules are
But you know that I will run
You know that I will follow you

These tears I've cried
I've cried 1,000 oceans
And if it seems I'm floating in the darkness
Well, I can't believe that I would keep
Keep you from flying
So I will cry 1,000 more
If that's what it takes to sail you home
Sail you home, sail you home, sail you home
