Tears of the Translator

I turned out not to be anyone at all.
Spaceship take us to the stars, starship take us into space
Fire in my eyes,
Fire burn my ears;
Look up to the sky,
Fire to burn.

Fire to Burn

I came out here with a head in a bag hoping to hide it away.
The more I thought, the more the gods hoped I'd do it another way ... into the flames.
Into the flames, into the fire, into the fire to burn.

I dreamed you were my skin
Not that I wore your skin but that my skin was made of tiny yous.
You dance along my arms.
You spun along my hands.
Running across my chest, down my legs.
I refused to bathe.
Standing in my swimming salt.
Dancing in my simple sweat.
Dance in the oil of my skin.
The water's fine, so come on in.
I'm coming in.

Curse Cures

Are your ships desperate to find the shore?
Are your charts outlined in red with hopeful ports?
Is a drifting life at sea a kind of last resort,
Clutching to the wind that lifts the birds?
Are your wings bound and tight and hardly work?
Do you cower in a cage with an open door,
Pulling at your gimpy feathers in a paranoid report?
I know you rider; you've been this way before.
Your name seems strange but your face I know for sure.
Your ways haven't changed just my patience for your cure.
The lightning strikes the tree so hard,
Splits wood down the center throwing jagged shards.
If I could only saddle it I could shoot those fucking stars,
A gaping hole in the wisdom which we all assume is ours.

Tongue and Groove

The whole wide world seem a-oh-so brand new
Sometimes it's just as easy as an attitude.
Watching all the good things springing up from the ground.
Glory steeped upon glory I'm a-spinning 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round.
We fall together.
We fall apart.
Now I have everything I could ever want in a million years.
I'm just saying there's a chance.
We come together.
We come apart.
I'm just saying there's a chance.
There's a chance.

Heaven's broke no need to call the cops
The Devil's hands are my workshop
Whisper close and tell me you won't stop
The time has come to pull the hands from the clocks
Ghost most holy pulling my clothes off
Secret screamers howling take it all
Shaolin shelter as the storm pelts down
The Devil's hands are my workshop ... workshop
Don't embrace the robot Luddite
Don't disgrace the magik cognite
Tentacle of salvation ... Leviathan!
