Strangelet Lyrics
Runaway Gutter trickle, bombast A gunpowder wind Wanna’ let it all sink in Like a rain collecting I held on to you Even when you begged me not to Can’t ya see I’m all bound up A million knots down in my gut Well I feel I’ve had enough, enough I just wanna’ run away Run, run away Run, run away Run, run away And I can make it happen I’m magic and all See me conjuring my downfall Oh the gates are closin’ in Swallowin’ the key How am I to know you love me Love me Can’t ya see I’m all bound up A million knots down in my gut Well I feel I’ve had enough, enough I just wanna’ run away Run, run away yea Run, run away Kill the pain Kill the shame Wanna’ feel nothin’ at all Run, run away Run, run away Run, run away Run, run away Soft Asylum In your soft asylum Come to vanish again When your thoughts are crushing And you’re broken again And you’re broken again No way in No way out You hit the ceiling No way, not if you won’t let it Oh you’re trying hard to overcome the feeling No way in No way out In your soft asylum Wander out of the rain When you’ve all but given out And you’re broken again And you’re broken again No way in No way out You hit the ceiling No way, not if you won’t let it Oh you’re trying hard to overcome the feeling No way in No way out No way out Only you can save the hero of the story How much longer can you wait to slay you’re misery No way in No way out You hit the ceiling No way, not if you won’t let it Oh you’re trying hard to overcome the feeling No way in No way out No way in No way out Fountain Of Youth Brown doves on the wire Do they ever tire Up in the eggshell sky I know if it was me Wings a’ take ya far The burden of flight is our’s Even ‘thout the sun in your eyes Some things are hard to find You could go the rest of your life ‘Till the fountain of youth runs dry Ever in pursuit of another clue The sea in response is blue Take a look around Have you any doubt The heart is responding too Even ‘thout the sun in your eyes Some things are hard to find You could go the rest of your life ‘Till the fountain of youth runs dry Comes another freeze All the barren trees Under the eggshell sky They may disappear Splendor of the years Unknowable without tears Even ‘thout the sun in your eyes Some things are hard to find You could go the rest of your life ‘Till the fountain of youth runs dry ‘Till the fountain of youth runs dry ‘Till the fountain of youth runs dry Hidden Hand Of Fate Set your wooden horses to roam In the dust, come galloping home Ah, into the grave Sooner or late You’ll be led like a child By the hidden hand of fate Oh the silver hearse is in wait And she revs outside a’ the gate Ah, sooner or late Sooner or late To be snuffed like a flame By the hidden hand of fate Set your nuclear rockets ta’ aim When ya mingle riches and faith The rules of the game Sooner or late…. Set you’re fields of poppies aflame In your one god’s heavenly name Ah, sooner or late Sooner or late You’ll be plucked like a fig By the hidden hand of fate Set your wooden horses to roam In the dust, come galloping home Ah, into the grave Sooner or late You’ll be led like a child By the hidden hand of fate You’ll be led like a child By the hidden hand of fate To be snuffed like a flame By the hidden hand of fate Plucked like a fig By the hidden hand of fate By the hidden hand of fate Dream In Color Oh boy Makin’ noise For the love a’ Buddy Holly My six string Way gone Real low Let it roll Like a motor ever purrin’ My machine Rave on Sentimental blood You spill I’ll reach out to catch it Oh boy Makin’ out Gotta’ try to make the most Of a queer thing Ah, gotta’ shout Real loud Rock n’ roll Cupid Charlie noddin’ off In the mezzanine Gotta’ shout Sentimental tears You spill I’ll reach out to catch them, I may never see the light I may never dream in color I may may never see the light a’ day Feelin’ dizzy Feelin’ weak Feelin’ dizzy Like I’m gonna’ sink… Oh boy Makin’noise For the love a’ Buddy Holly My six string Way gone Real low Let it roll Like a motor ever purrin’ My machine Rave on Sentimental blood You spill I’ll reach out to catch it Sentimental tears You spill I’ll reach out to catch it (cont.)
