Quiet footsteps in the hall
Muttered happenings
A heavy atmosphere
Smothering all around
We must find the answer
Before we can lose it
There is a murderer lurking
But only in their minds
Contortion, my friends,
Contortion
And distortion
No one can walk
Without looking over their shoulders
Waiting,
Waiting
But the waiting never ends
And expectation lives on
Give us a smile
It may be all you have left
The way is long
But death is longer
Find tomorrow
Before it finds you
Time is twisting
Into meaningless shapes
Can you tell me
When exactly yesterday was?
Matted blood
Dark red
Did you kill her,
Your faithful lover,
In some strange
Fit of passion?
Or did I
In one of my timeless dreams?
It does not matter,
She is dead
And death is for all time
As you lie there
In your cold bed,
With your heart
So cold and cruel,
Remember her warmth
And love
When she lay in the sun
Beside the river
Her laughter will haunt you forever
Lie there and suffer
We all suffer with you
But in a different sense of being
Help me someone
My mind is screaming in anxiety
Bring it back to me
The path only leads to the hills
But I belong to the valley
What mountain sprung up between us?
I am sick of dying
It is becoming so monotonous
I painted a beautiful picture
But it was spoilt
While still wet –
Beauty marred by perfection
Kill the world
It has killed you
By bringing you to life in time
Who asks to be born?
For one brief dream
I was given a power
That gained me respect
But I was caught by trains
And could not escape
Creation was the end
Of a comfortable nothing,
But I saved some from oblivion
And I keep it in a matchbox
Listen to it call me
The moon fell from the sky
And time has become dark
Words lie scattered on a page
But they say nothing
When they're on their own
Tomorrow is a long perhaps
The spaceships are landing
And I haven't a thing to wear
To my funeral
Silver on black
Gold on white
Why did she have to die?
A knife flashes down,
Glinting in the light,
And severs our bonds
So that we might go free
Go free where?
Part two comes tomorrow
When the world stops
Wait for it,
Wait for it
What for I know not
But wait anyway
I'll wait too
But I'm waiting for something else
I'm waiting for time to start
What's the word that sets us free?
You, with the stars in your eyes,
Smile,
And I'll smile with you.
I'll never leave you
Goodbye
