lyrics

Grass green waking dream,
Hold out your hand.
My devil red contessa,
I'm watching you get dressed,
Seeing for the first time
How beautiful you are.

This is all we are:
All that comes to hand,
A simple setting sun,
A coffee from a polystyrene cup.

Continuum ad nauseum

Hi ho fatal blow,
Stale stinking I
Your hand across the gavel,
Devil take your tongue,
An idiot in winter,
Cowering within cold tedium

Continuum ad nauseum

Roses, a ring thereof, slowly processing past the narrowest of windows, an ancient animation of a girl I know, in instants, in moments, in pink and in black.

My my, what am I to do?
It isn't coming easily, it isn't coming naturally at all,
And no one will believe me that I have done my best here,
That I have tried to make a thing or two, but what's the point?
Shape it with your fingers, and leave it on the mantel piece.

Roses, a ring thereof, slowly processing past the narrowest of windows, an ancient animation of a girl I know, in instants, in moments, in pink and in black.

Continuum
