lyrics

I call in vain at your name
but you won’t hear me
sit pretending your blind
or that we’ve run out of time
a sickness sealing the wax
a glossing over of facts
a play of ignorance sets
in as dementia gets
the best of bubbles and wine
your pickled brain cells align
to piece together the scene
as cold reality gleams
and lights grow dim over time
another victimless crime?

The bars and stripes of your loss become a crusade and cause
as madder still you become
eclipsing hate on the gun
you capture bridges intact
and blow the hell out of facts in endless visions of night
old demons role play and fight and come to visit your thoughts
while leaving prints on the locks which taking hours to clean
leave you disordered and mean distraught at hearing their lies
might bring your head down to size and bust your chops in that way that makes you stronger today

Fallen off your calling white cloud
So after dark turns to green
and your society seems
to shrink as friends drop away you know it’s really ok
if you can look in yourself
to deal with anyone else

The band has released 42 albums since 1987. ... more
