Black Country
03:52
|
|||
Black Country, black country, you are dark and empty.
Black Country, black country, you are dark and empty.
This land is barren.
This land is barren.
I stare out into nothing, and I can feel you hold me.
I stare out into nothing, and I can feel you hold me.
Open up your arms, dissolve into the horizon.
Open up your arms, dissolve into the horizon.
Into the void...

He came.
And, he destroyed.
He killed.
And, he stole.
Until.
There was no more.
White man.
White demon.
You ruined everything.
You ruined everything.
You ruined everything.
You ruined everything.

Slow Dancing
04:32
|
|||
The floor is empty, the wall flowers hang,
the disco ball turns, and the music begins.
A boy walks up, asks a girl to dance,
He twirls her around, and she becomes a woman.
The boys have been in the liquor cabinet,
the girls are all made up and in their best.
There are rumours Jill's been making out with Jack,
Jane is crying 'cause Dick up and left.
We are slow dancing.
A woman appears and takes his sweaty hand,
Oh how many men are still afraid of you, Sadie Hawkins.
No one here knows the old steps,
Gone long ago, are the days waltzes.
Eyes glance awkwardly, the crowd whispers,
Out on the dance floor, someone's been kissed.
All hearts are pounding with anticipation,
Because we are going slow dancing.
We are slow dancing.

Long Winter
04:43
|

It's a long, long winter. And, we're all gonna die.
It's a long winter. And, I will make you cry.
It's a long, long winter. And, we're all gonna die.
It's a long winter. And, I will make you cry.
Everything is dead and gone.
Everything you ever knew is wrong.
There is no more light. There is only night.
There is no more life. There is only death.
Take me, I am free.
Inside you, I am new.
Spring...

Dead Horse
04:42
|
|||
I'm riding a dead horse.
Saddled up a deceased metaphor.
Like blood from a stone,
it's grown old.
Beat your dead horse.
I'm beating a dead horse.
Bludgeoning a simile.
Meaning strewn
on the killing floor.
Beat your dead horse.

Kill your sadness and your grief
Kill you loneliness and misery
And, love violently.
Kill your hate and your envy.
Kill your spite and jealousy.
And, love violently.
