Les paroles

1. PAT'S TRICK
"Creepy and sullen and running out of room
In my little tomb, my little tomb
I'll plant a seed there to remember you
At the may fair with your long ass curly hair
We had a pirate band, a tear for every grain of sand
And i was fighting with my hands. Oooooo
This came up wilted and looks like you
Cause it never grew, it never grew
This one is scrawny, it looks like me
Cause it's dirty and i'm so dirty too

We had a pirate band, a tear for every grain of sand
And i was fighting with my hands... OVER YOU
Beautiful thing, you are the most beautiful thing
Flower of life, bird of spring, you are the most beautiful thing
Locus flower -- grow out of bounds
Locus flower -- grouw out of (the under) ground
Some say its like a beautiful flower
Some say it is a terrible power
I'll meet you at the end of the hour
I want to use, i want to use that power
FEED ME, feed me, feed me
You are the most beautiful thing
You are the most beautiful thing
Flower of life, bird of spring
You are the most beautiful thing.

2. TRIXIE'S STAR
"Trixie says shes blown away by what she sees
There's a heaven, there's a heaven on the TV
There's a movie star for you and one for me
Someday it'd be so right, so right to be
(Cruising and shooting and fucking like some kind of movie)

Little star of the heavens, tiny star above
Shiny, shiny light, tell me if i've got the love
Pick me up on your silver studded dove
We could watch down on us from above
(to see how ugly and dirty and lost we were, this is so rough)
Vita, Vita Nuova, cause it feels so right
Star of your birth, baby the brand new life
And the universe will move for you
That stupid curse fell through
(while we were wondering what the hell to do)

3. SILVER ANGEL
I am the earth
It's not something that I know
I am the dirt
When to freeze and when to grow
I had my own birth
When to stay in and when to go
And I am your curse
It's not something that I know
You came out of the sky like a feather from an angel. I was rubbing my eyes. I know I'm not so wise or half as able as your angel size
Love as light as light as a lead dove (fly lightly)
Love that fits like a wet glove (fly all night)
It feels like a slide show
It's not something that I know
It's more like a freak show
When to stay in and when to go
What makes the world go?
When to freeze and when to grow
What do I know?
It's not something that I know
You came out of the sky like a feather from an angel. I was rubbing my eyes. I know I'm not so wise or half as able as your angel size
Love as light as light as a lead dove (fly lightly)
Love that fits like a wet glove (fly all night)

4. BABY'S GOING UNDERGROUND
Baby, I saw they kicked you down
Now you're the only dirty trick in town
The stars are bright under your nightgown
A star is bright, a star is round
Maybe someday we'll get back, get back
The rock life and the heart attack'
Baby likes it when it hurts like that
A millions days after the, after the fact
Baby is going underground
With the whip and trix you found
The moon is bright when you're bound
The moon is bright, the moon is round
And maybe some day we'll get back, get back
The rock life and the heart attack'
Baby likes it when it hurts like that
A million days after the, after the fact

5. MEDUSA
Black angel, you're my centerfold
Though you're two years old, your love is so bold
My heart is so cold
My heart is so cold
Come and get me, we'll fly
On your wings through the thunderstorm sky
Kiss me, oh my
Little kiss of death and things that die
The wings of a dragonfly
The kiss of a butterfly
Sing alleluia on high
Sing alleluia on high

Come and get me we'll fly
On your wings through the thunderstorm sky
Kiss me, ah
Little kiss of death and things that die
The kiss of a rattlesnake
The body of a black lake
Sing a lullaby to wake me
A lullaby to wake me
Come and get me we'll fly
On your wings through the thunderstorm sky
Kiss me, oh my
Little kiss of death and things that die

6. COMET'9
(Instrumental)

7. SKELETON
Did I tell you I've got tiny little fingers
I've got bones where the ring goes
They go like a plant grows
They go slowly
They go over your new clothes
They go over your money
They go over your head, man
The only good man is a dead man
I like pretty baby candy
It goes right to my head
It makes my lips as red as rubbies
I'll eat it till im dead
Did I tell you that you can't get to heaven
In high-heeled shoes?
You're such a loose little belle
You're a fallen angel
You go down into the big pit
It is deeper than a tar pit
Your lips are redder than lucifer
Your hair is up in curlers
I like pretty baby candy
'Cause It goes right to my head
It makes my lips as red as rubbies
I'll eat it till im dead

8. SUPERBALL
A glass eye I use to spy
Little tiny teeth that tell a golden lie
My feet are small, I'm not that tall
I'll tell you the truth, but really not at all
I'm small like a superball, throw me at the wall
I'm fragile like an eggshell, I'm mad as hell
My teeth are gold, I'm not that old
I would tell you the truth, but I'm not that bold
Hook me with your hand, my mouth is full of sand
Everything I say ends with and

I'm small like a superball, throw me up at the wall
I'm fragile like an eggshell, I'm mad as hell

9. ALL THE X'S HAVE WINGS
Heaven can wait as you should know by now
But you really don't care and that's okay too somehow
Every time I ask you what you wanna be
You said I hope there's something really dirty
Don't feel guilty, I'm that dirty too
Do you think you'll have time to change yourself later
Pay your dues to the devil and your payment to the banker
Every time I ask you what you wanna do
You said that love is something really rude
Don't fear the reaper, I have been down deeper too

10 OH THE WIND AND RAIN
That girl knows where she doesn't go
In the river with the rest of the bones
Under the water under the stones
Away from the parties and the telephones
Until I'm gone, until I'm dead
I'll be making a wish on this empty head
Maybe I should just go to bed
Or try to pray or something instead
That girl knows where she doesn't belong
Under the ground where the days are long
Under the round earth's revolution song
Looking up through the dirt at right and wrong
Until I'm gone, until I'm dead
I'll be making a wish on this empty head
Maybe I should just go to bed
Or try to pray or something instead
I want everything you do
Don't tell me you don't think that it's true
I can do anything you can do
Don't tell me you think that i'm rude
Cause i do anything you do
Don't tell me that i'm rude
I want everything you do
Don't tell me you think that i'm rude
That girl knows where she wants to go
Out on the river in a little life boat
Out on the castle's muddy moat
And through the walls with the rest of the ghosts
Until I'm gone, until I'm dead
I'll be making a wish on this empty head
Maybe I should just go to bed
Or try to pray or something instead
I want everything you do
Don't tell me you don't think that it's true
I can do anything you can do
Don't tell me you think that i'm rude
Cause i do anything you do
Don't tell me that i'm rude
I want everything you do
Don't tell me you think that i'm rude
I can do anything you can do
Don't tell me you don't think that it's true
I do anything you do
Don't tell me that i'm rude
Don't tell me that i'm rude*

11. HONEYCOMB
And she knows you never ask her to come over
But she doesn't care
And she combs her hair over and over in the mirror, oh
And she spits and swears until she can't swear anymore
And she doesn't care when you call her a whore
You better watch out for her
She'll eat you up and she'll spit out the furs
She'll talk about you to all of the girls
But you wait for her
'Cause she's sweeter than a honeycomb
And that's why you stay at home
And she's slower than Valium
And that's why you stay at home
And she goes so that you can hardly see her
It's so slow
And I know she's low and dirty, but she told you so
Lady of luck, she's a roll of the dice
And it feels so right and so does your price
You'll see she'll put a spell on you
She did it to me and changed my point of view
She'll tie you up so that you can't move
As you wait for it
'Cause she's sweeter than a honeycomb
And that's why you stay at home
And she's slower than Valium
And that's why you stay at home
'Cause she's sweeter than a honeycomb
And that's why you stay at home
And she's slower than Valium
And that's why you stay at home

12. FLOWER OF THE APOCALYPSE
Agnus dei, qui tollis
Miserere nobis
Agnus dei, qui tollis
Dona nobis pacem
Benedictus qui venit in nomine domini
Agnus dei, qui tollis
Miserere nobis

--
[translated:
Lamb of God, who takes away
Have mercy on us
Lamb of God, who takes away
Grant us peace
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord
Lamb of God, who takes away
Have mercy on us]
