Shriekback - Faded Flowers (Oil And Gold) lyrics
rate meThis is the sound of poisons<br />
the sickness no one knows<br />
No one is crying for us this time<br />
Our shapes are blurring under miracles of snow<br />
Weave a circle round him three times<br />
You have to plan your moves at these times<br />
Our hearts are breaking<br />
One more song to go<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
These eyes are blind<br />
This is a pure thing<br />
These hands I kiss<br />
Tragic as anything<br />
These eyes are blind<br />
This is a pure thing<br />
All splash and hiss<br />
Beyond my measuring<br />
<br />
Only the anacrucis<br />
the main event remains<br />
Shameful and naked, out there in the<br />
great cold outdoors<br />
We have to learn these things again<br />
Bathe in this incandescent glow<br />
the leap to something I don't know<br />
There is no doubt upon us when<br />
the greasy men come back again<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
These eyes are blind<br />
This is a pure thing<br />
These hands I kiss<br />
Tragic as anything<br />
These eyes are blind<br />
This is a pure thing<br />
All splash and hiss<br />
Beyond my measuring<br />
These faded flowers<br />
Precious as memory<br />
A veil of cloud<br />
Correct as energy<br />
We had some good machines<br />
But they don't work no more<br />
I loved you once<br />
Don't love you anymore
