Current 93 - The Heart Full Of Eyes lyrics

rate me

The heart full of eyes

And drunken words for warships

The peeled-back black bell

The queen of queendom and sandface

The broken and wrecked heart

Beating deeper than the night watcher

The myth you kept close to your breast

Than I am kind or some kind

Eternal hello under Sassania

And the kings of dust

Their pineal lineage transmuted

By gorse and geese

The ticks and the lice and the five bridges

All playing monkeys in my heart

And gathered dogs for tea

And tune them into ladders

For the DogStar ascent

To the wretched galaxy

That is ever Neverland

Plato wrote of you in Grotto

Saurat wrote of you in Chartres

Soso spake Greek to Peter

Piling books and seeds

This is the shed

In which I keep the dead

The open mouth for mouths and rocks

The house of beloved mice

With whom I could not lie or lay

The Graal whom I could not sing sweetly enough

To touch out the thunder and argent

Lightning washing over the love

And brotherhood and wisdom that shuttled

Away down the Golden Pumpkin River

The mist drowned over my eyes and heart

The mist took me by utter surprise cats

Who snuggled and cuddled me into the nix and the nox

And knocked at the door and knocked me onto the floor

Below her I fell into

Terminal explosion from apples and Edens

And fed the swans once or twice

And gave rides to the red rager

And on that fragile roundabout

Not far from heaven

I saw the sun swallow with a yip and a yes

And saw the lint gliant in her eyes

And the owl shot shot with paraboxes

Into that teen twine we fell together

And shouted and shuddered

And held breasts kissed lips

And dreamt of Kingdoms and Queendoms

And matched wine with fire

And switched funnels snatched

Open pain open
