Pleasure from inception ‘till the end 
Mother, her conception, no defense 
Seizure touch the daughter’s tiny hands 
Hold me, hold my horror, pray pretend 

O, you missed a moment 
I’ll fill you in 
O, you missed a moment 
I’ll fill you in 

Brother speaks a savior like a lamb 
Mirror hides the terror of who I am 
Mother, where’s my father and my friends? 
Hold me, hold my seizure, tiny hands 

O, I missed a moment 
Come fill me in 
O, I missed a moment 
Come fill me in 
O, I missed a moment 
Come fill me in

I know you can’t swim in this water 
I know you want him underground 
He knows you snowflake in this weather 
You know he knows; I know we’re nowhere now 

We lay black wreaths of circumstance 
3 snakes weave in and out of 
Chance’s eyeball 
Ballet dancing 
The alleyways that we all used to hide in 

It’s a coronation 
We crown our left and then behead our right 
In our triangle 
Behold the blade 
It’s a coronation 

The Queen is dead 
Long live the Queen 

Whenever you snare me I’m your rumor 
‘Coz you always share me with your friends 
Hiding the keepsake you discovered 
While folding the laundry with your lover or your friend 
Bow your head 
Whatever 

It’s a coronation 
We crown our left and then behead our right 
In our triangle 
The Queen is dead 
It’s our coronation 

The Queen is dead 
Long live the Queen 

And it’s a coronation 
We crown our left and then behead our right in our coronation 
We crown our left And then behead our right in our triangle 
3 snakes give head 
At their coronation

Coronation

See the ring around the moon 
A secret sign for me and you 
Tell me if it’s true 
I think I had a dream in blue 
While summer ended in deluge 

But who has conjured up this fiend 
Incarnate with its teeth and wings? 
His final movement scored 
We hang ourselves upon the chords 
And swing until we’re fucking bored 

War is over 
Cry to mother 
War is over 

And its truth 
It flutters thru 
Like ticker-tape from those towers 
The ash is on my.... 

See the ring around the moon 
It sinks us while it still eludes 
And you and I will learn 
Thru all the leisure we have burned 
This is the wake that we have earned 

The war is over 
Cry to mother 
The war is over 

And its truth 
It flutters thru 
Like ticker-tape from those towers 
The ashes on my face become its power 
Its power 
While the ring around the moon, it signs its messages to fools 
To fools 
To fools 
To fools 

See the ring around the moon 
I wonder what I’m gonna do

6am 
I'm hurtling home again 
A sad device at the precipice 
Of something fake intelligent, my friend 

Still i'm not through 
I'll still take these walks with you 
You're the story that nowhere went 
Become the current event 

I've been shooting yr pop junk up again 
Strung out on the feeling you sold me 
Hold hands, this is our refrain 

I'm not hurt 
Sell me love again 
If you call it love, i’m hurtling home insane 

And we are all just fingerprints of some sublime hand 
That closes and opens 
The sign that something was stolen 

But no sign of life 
In the statues that used to be my friends 
So make love to the mannequins 
Or sell me something 

I've been shooting the pop junk up again 
Strung out on the feeling you sold me 
Hang on, here's the old refrain 

I'm not hurt 
Sell me love again 
If you call it love, yr kiss is fair trade 
I'm not hurt 
I'm hurtling home insane 

My darling, i'm trying 
I'm buying into you again 

Coz i've been shooting the pop junk up again 
Lost love, it's a feeling you sold me 
Anything to feel less lonely 
Anything to feel less homely 

It's 6am 
And we're hurtling home again 
So we can begin fair trade 
Insane 
Fair trade 
Insane

And there’s the garden; there’s the subway line 
I’m queueing up dominoes to fall a second time 
And here’s the river; ribbons of sacred wine 
The current drags me to the battleground 
And Concertina smiles 

Got me a mission; a secret sacrifice 
I’m plotting out orders hidden within my blood type 
And now the wire’s laid, sectors of fire designated 
My bead is bulls-eye on a silhouette 
The goddess has created 

O, Concertina, goddess of secret war 
Sometimes I see your face in the milk spilled on the kitchen floor 
O, Concertina I bleed my oath to you 
I am your soldier now, and always, and my aim is true 

I am your daughter Concertina

O, Concertina

Don’t throw me out 
I’m holding onto us 
These fingers clench the trust 

Just hear it out 
Don’t frame and hang the blame 
These aren’t your paintings, they’re my mistakes 

I don’t want to find another 
And I don’t want to live alone 
Would you send away your lover just to prove that he was wrong? 

I guess I’m going to have another 
Now that everything is gone 
‘Cause it’s a clear blue sky for my sweet swan dive and song 

Don’t throw me up 
I’m not the medicine 
But you’re not the problem 
Hope lifts us up 
Wipes off the boot prints on my face 
And licks my wounds back into shape 

And don’t want to find another 
And I can’t live this life alone 
Would you send away your lover just to prove that he was wrong 
‘Cause I won’t make it through this summer 
Hiding out inside our home 
With your feathers and your bones 
In cologne 
Alone in cologne 

Don’t throw me out 
I’m holding onto us 
These feathers turn to dust 
Just hear it out 
Don’t frame and hang the blame 
My famous paintings are all aflame 

I don’t want to find another 
I don’t want to live alone 
Would you send away your lover just to prove that he was wrong 
I guess I’m gonna drink another 
Now that everything is gone‘ 
'Cause it’s a clear blue sky for my sweet swan dive and song 

I’m alone 
In cologne 
I'm alone in cologne

Holidays 
Come & fade away 
To euthanize my memory 
To suffocate the childrening 
To isolate my turnstiles 
Churning lighting from the secret things 
That I hold close to me 

You my dear 
Were this to me I fear 
Hurdling the guide rail 
Leaving contrails in the evening 
As the sun set on the holiday 
That loved me without warning 
And left this morning 

You were just a summer sun 
Setting in a summer sky 
It’s a shame to watch you darken 
You were just a setting sun 

I don’t want a holiday 
That loves & fades away 
Whose pretty hand pines for things 
That I have yet to make 
In my little life of secrets, notebooks 
Tiny silver blades 
Of LIGHTNING!!!!

Letters scrawled in fountain pen postmarked return to sender 
The mirror shattered, egos felled the pane 
Shrouded in the eyeshadow is a hidden black agenda 
And where are all the flowers once again? 

Once again the soil turned to sand 
The cistern’s hollow sound rings the command 
Once again the fire’s scarred the land 
The water commuted to blood in outstretched hands 

Where are all the flowers once again 
And where’s my heart? 
My bloody hands have taken part and what remains 
In an hourglass of sand and open veins? 

Bound up like criminals in a tourniquet of quiet 
Your slender vase is choking the bouquet 
And wound up like little clocks we’re spinning near our silence 
And where are all the flowers once again? 

Once again the soil turned to sand 
The cistern’s hollow sound rings the command 
Once again the fire’s scarred the land 
The water commuted to blood in outstretched hands 

And where are all the flowers once again? 
Where are all the flowers once again?

Birdsongs, twisted and meaningless 
I’m counting back from infinity 
To land, to land, but we’ve no egress planned 
And our hearts, our hearts have beached upon the sand, swollen from 

Rowing the ocean 
Slow-mo the motion 
Someone’s tugging on my hand 
That’s aching, unfolding from 
Holding the reasons 
Towing the seasons 
And sowing barren land that we flew over as starlings 

Cleave thru my cords of marrow 
You’ll find me in the wheelbarrow 
Leave me sleeping, sparrow, this 
Is just the wound that I aim to miss 
Call it a kiss 

Row, row the ocean 
Slow-mo the motion 
Row, row the ocean 

Row, row the ocean 
Slow-mo the motion 
Row, row the ocean

Everyone is making love 
To each other 
Head on breast 
Hand to lips 
Spread out upon the lawn 

And the flesh sinks 
Like broken ships 
In open water 
It’s the only way we drown 

But I’m floating fine 
As I hope to find 
All the reasons why 
I would just prefer to hide 

Anyone can make a drug 
Of their lover 
Hand me this 
Leave your kiss 
You know I’ll feast upon 

I’d rather starve than swallow you 
To discover 
A hollow chest 
That’s bottomed out 

But I’m floating fine 
As I hope to find 
All the reasons why 
I would just prefer to hide 

Why I’m taking flight 
Sail into the nighttime 
I’ll avoid the fight 
Hiding at heaven’s height 

Behind a nebula of hearts 
The distant nebula of love 
Belongs to no one here on earth 
Behind a nebula of hearts 
The distant nebula of love 
Exploding slowly over time 

The glittered sky will still cascade 
Long after 
Its reasons why 
Its answer, fades 

So I’m far away arching in 
The ether 
There are stars under my eyelids 
But still no means to cry 

Still I’m floating fine 
As I hope to find 
All the reasons why 
I would just prefer to hide 
Why I’m taking flight 
Sail into the nighttime 
I’ll avoid the fight 
Hiding at heaven’s height 

Behind a nebula of hearts 
The distant nebula of love 
Belongs to no one here on earth 
Behind a nebula of hearts 
The distant nebula of love 
Exploding slowly over time 

Behind a nebula of hearts; the distant nebula of love 
Behind a nebula of hearts; the distant nebula of love
