Lying On Wormy Ground

I lie, I lie, I lie on your pitchfork hills- it's not the greatest ground for me.
The dirt is loose and other crumbs are bugging me- the worms are rolling out to see.
For all the effort’s worth, for all my gallantry, there is no fluttering.
I tried, I tried, I tried to measure- but the yardstick’s imperial- it’s not the greatest ground for me.
For all the effort’s worth, for all my gallantry, there’s still no fluttering.
The dirt is loose and other things are bugging me- the worms keep rolling out.
I tried, I tried to lay on your pitchfork hills- it's not the greatest ground for me.

Jean, Jean, Jean; She was all worn out,
She had holes, they frayed. She has holes, they’ve stayed.
Jean, Jean, Jean- why d’you dye your hair?
‘Cause I don’t like blondes and the redhead lied.
Jean, Jean, Jean- found her oh so tired,
From the day to day- she had sold her fire.
I cannot solve this overnight
Up on my shoulders this will go
An hour glass only holds your life
You can't stop just how she flows
I may look comfortable at times
I'm confused only by unknowns
Love is the answer to defy
Love is what will end the road
So i'll put my best suit on tonight
Follow the surges and the glows
Mumma she told me not to fight
The fight be lost the chance be blown
So i'll find this sentence here tonight
And oh how the temperature it rose
I fall and i vanish out of life
I'm stepping out i'm swinging low

Her Lucidity

Slowly enter the main subconscious.
Spineless vision frantically caved in.
Out of all control the voiceless scream.
Out of all the control- The Gallow Tree
We’re getting close to the heights of seeing some commotion resting in our arms- well enchenté.
The convict and the crust are weak- and those contained to my idle bones.

The Other I

Foreign ways to council through the rough.
The first breeze alters the ego’s.

And then a woman, she came along and sat on down,
She put a note on the trunk for the men in the town-
‘Said she was a big girl and was looking for love.
Her love was cheap- for the beat, for the collar and cuffs.
I saw her working up a steam in the human cafe.
She loved her food, she was rude, she was winning the race.
I didn’t like it. I didn’t like it at all.
Get inside it. All over this place.
Crying for help. Lifeless turning.
Trailing nowhere, breaking the chains.
Find a hope for work in motion.
I came across a dug hole- stump had turned to dirty coal
Belly’s gone, belly’s gone- The place I wrote my name upon.
I muddied off to see the worms, the coins, the dirt- all had turned skeletal.
They chopped it down.
They cut it’s throat.
What we have, caught the fall
And what we have, seeming this way,
At the time, fall in line,
Come and steer it here tonight.
(Sample to Suffer)
Another race round the bend goes on and on.
Another race round the bend goes on and on.
Another race round the bend.
Another race round the bend goes on and on.
Imagination’s a friend- a lonely one.
Another race round the bend.

A reason dies lies shred and torn
Back through our eyes we are reborn
In sleep we find our whereabouts
A final straw that brakes the back
The rain that falls upon our tracks, alive
The droves they march across the line
The dusty boots that fall in time
It seems they have our whereabouts
So speed your wit with supple thought
We hold our ropes and keep them taught tonight
In case you'd rather run
Fly wait for no one
In case you'd rather run
Fly

All the dogs on the pavement turned up their nose at the silly one’s,
and they run through the kissing-gate, to the garden, so I follow on..
I took myself down to Gallowstree- hooked up a rope and swung in the breeze.
I stayed for a while and I picked up coins, and I carved the belly for you.
And now they’re knocking ‘em down like diamonds, but I put a spell on the ground.
My favourite side was a little closer to home.
All the notes of the sirens, of the city, of the prickly ones,
and the females with their furrowed brow’s looking for me- but I’m not around.
I took myself down to Gallowstree- hooked up a rope and swung in the breeze.
I stayed for a while and I picked up coins, and I carved the belly for you.
And now they’re knocking and breaking ‘em down, but I put a spell on the ground.
My favourite side was a little closer home.
