Street Spirit (Fade Out)

Francisco — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 07:10:27 +0000

Rows of houses all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things will one day swallow whole

And fade out again
And fade out

This machine will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under

And fade out again
And fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death
Can see it’s beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things will one day swallow whole

And fade out again
And fade out again

Immerse your soul in love
Immerse your soul in love.

Bullet Proof …I Wish I Was

Francisco — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 07:08:26 +0000

Limb by limb, tooth by tooth
Tearing up inside of me
Every day, every hour
I wish that I was bullet proof

Wax me, mould me
Heat the pins and stab them in
You have turned me into this
Just wish that it was bullet proof

So pay me money and take a shot
Lead-fill the hole in me
I could burst a million bubbles
All surrogate and bullet proof.

Fake Plastic Trees

A green plastic watering can
For a fake chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself

It wears her out, it wears her out
It wears her out, it wears her out

She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery
On girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins

And it wears him out, it wears him out
It wears him out, it wears him out

She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
But I can’t help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run

And it wears me out, it wears me out
It wears me out, it wears me out

And if I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time, all the time

You can force it but it will not come
You can taste it but it will not form
You can crush it but it’s always here
You can crush it but it’s always near
Chasing you home, saying

“Everything is broken.
Everyone is broken.”

You can force it but it will stay stone
You can crush it as dry as a bone
You can walk it home straight from school
You can kiss it, you can break all the rules
All of the rules, but still

Everything is broken
Everyone is broken
Everyone is, everyone is broken
Everyone is, everything is broken

Why can’t you forget?
Why can’t we forget?
Why can’t you forget?
