Slow Rain Falling 02:40
lyrics
buy track
I got nothing to give you I got nothing you can take I got nothing left to say now No emotions I can fake It's been a long time coming Floating away From your island It's a slow rain falling As I fall From your grace I got reasons to live on Reasons I can't relate Dreaming of summers gone It's been a long time coming Floating away From your island It's a slow rain falling As I fall From your grace

Blank Canvas 02:27
lyrics

I been dreaming of sharks and nuclear bombs Filling up life with wasted songs Sitting in the park in my shorts and thongs With nothing to do Nobody to be There's a million different paths a child can make I was playing in the grass with the bugs and snakes I was hiding on the hill by the manmade lakes With something to do Somebody to be The kids on the street used to call me names So I'd shoot them in the head when we played war games When we reached adolescence I felt ashamed Of something I am Of something I was I been dreaming of sharks, nuclear bombs Filling up life with wasted songs Still sitting in the park in my shorts and thongs With nothing to do Nobody to be A blank canvas To paint a memory

Elegy For A Friend 03:07
lyrics

I been wading Through these streams Escalating Liquid dreams You're burning on the glowing coals You're going where nobody knows So goodbye Back in '99 We talked about the future Playing minnie moocher Screaming at the great beyond You just told me you been making plans But there's an empty space where you used to stand I've been craving Distracting scenes Misbehaving In liquid dreams You're blowing with the shifting sands We're all going after you, my man So Goodbye Oh but why We talked about the future Playing minnie moocher Screaming at the great beyond You just told me you'd been making plans Now there's an empty space where you used to stand

The Doctors Are Here Now 03:36
lyrics

I drove into the desert I didn't know why On highway 87 I broke down and cried Sleeping in the back seat Swimming in stars Is it hell or heaven Where I belong? You were feeling kinda glum in the afternoon Everybody's one and you are two Take a little walk in another shoe The doctors are here now He's such a lazy bum in the dark light Hazy as the sun in the park light He may be full of cum but he won't bite The doctors are here now They got the same diagnosis with a different cure When both sides know that the other's impure Amphetamine wisdom at the break of the day I don't understand anything here anyway I'm a catatonic bitch in the big blue I'm scratching at the itch to be near you Everybody's crazy but I like you Riding wind from the road train Let me in to your toad brain Drinking gin I got no pain So I sing through the slow rain The doctors are here now

Will It Ever Begin 01:50
lyrics

Will it ever begin The part where we dance and sing Original sin Genuflecting on our hands and knees Will it ever begin Release the queen and kill the king For original sin Rivers of blood into an ocean of tears Will it ever begin We've been waiting ten thousand years

Superflower! 02:56
lyrics

Lemonade and lime Sugar sweet No artificial flavours We have made the time To bloom Salute the superflower Superflower! Hey there loser You'll always be poor Unless you join the army And get paid to go to war Instead you wandering In forests and trees Sick and dehydrated You fall onto your knees Honeybees swarm Around your pale frame Take you in their wings And carry you away The queen in her nest Takes you to her breast Says "it's okay baby, I think you're the best!" Coz love gives you the power Salute the superflower SUPERFLOWER! Rain clouds and sun Make us grow Fertilise our neighbours To feed everyone Grow! Salute the superflower! Superflower!

Where Are You Now? 04:14
lyrics

I heard you went insane I don't believe it's true Your drug addicted brain Behind those eyes that always knew You'd always be a stray It just seemed so unnatural For you to work for pay Vacation every day Old friends disappear To where, I cannot say If ends are always near Then why be afraid? The last time that we spoke You didn't know my name Or was that some strange in-joke To illustrate your fame? I heard you went insane We'll never know the scene Now you've gone away To where nobody's been
