Ascendence lyrics - The Church
When the sea is boiling
And the Earth recoiling
Kundalini coiling, rushing like a current up your spine
And you know these days are strange
And that something had to change
Something always out of range
Something no one else can find
When the weather darkens
And still no one hearkens
Strange time, strange land
Your ascension is assured
Your ascension, your reward
Your ascension is assured
Your ascension, your reward
Your ascension is assured
Your ascension, your reward
And the universe changed its mind
And you want what you can't find
And you say, "I saw the sign"
It's a sign for the blind
Into your heaven, I want to get even
Into your heaven, I want to get even
When the weather darkens
And still no one hearkens
We struggle with our thoughts
In a dream, in a room, in a song, in a paper
In an article you read in the age
Ascendence, ascendence
Ascendence, ascendence
Your ascension is assured
Your ascension, your reward
Your ascension is assured
Your ascension, your reward
Your ascension is assured
Your ascension, your reward
C'est La Vie lyrics - The Church
Hey, they say
C'est la vie
Here comes the future
According to me
Oh no, they go
How can this be?
I wouldn't fuck with that
So good luck with that
Watch out, tiger
You're on the skids
Falling outta favour
With the kids
You couldn't do
What Joe Public did
You couldn't change her
You're just a stranger
Oh, yeah
You're so good
Fizzle in the drizzle
Walk through the wood
Oh, yeah
You're so bad
You blew the bonanza
With the chances that you had
What if I told you
What if I told you it was true?
What if I told you
What if I told you it was you?
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
This could be better
This could be better than you think
What if I told you (What if I told you)
What if I told you it was true?
What if I told you (What if I told you)
What if I told you it was you?
What if I told you (What if I told you)
What if I told you it was true?
What if I told you (What if I told you)
What if I told you it was you?
Hey, they say
Hey, they say
C'est la vie
Hey, they say (Hey, they say)
Hey, they say
C'est la vie (C'est la vie)
Hey, they say
Hey, they say
Here comes the future
According to me
C'est la vie
Hey, they say
Hey, they say
Oh no, they go
How can this be?
C'est la vie
Hey, they say (I wouldn't fuck with that)
Hey, they say
So good luck with that
C'est la vie
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I Think I Knew lyrics - The Church
I think I knew what you wanted
Nothing made sense to me anymore
I think I knew what this machine has done to you
It's playing that song I adored
Hey
Can you help me to see
Well ok
Nevermind
I think I knew what you wanted
You find a way to turn this all off
I think I knew how one and one and one make two
It's playing my song too softly
I think I knew what you wanted
I think I better think it through
I think I knew where it all was leading to
Just playing my song just for you
Hey
Can you help me to see
Hey
Nevermind
Hey
Can you help me to see
Well ok
Nevermind
Flickering Lights lyrics - The Church
A vision of you so water clear
The thought of it pursuing me all through these years
Just one click, she disappeared
Maybe you're just being a baby
Walk on through the darkness
Walk on through the storms
Walk on through the roses and the bricks
And walk on through
An image of you so damned indelible
Haunting me always, oh so incredible
So tangible, it's almost edible
Maybe you're just being a baby
Walk on through the thunder
Walk on through the rain
Walk on through the brambles and the briars
And walk on through
You got the rest of me
You wanted none of it
You got the best of me
I wanted all of it
The Hypnogogue lyrics - The Church
When you wanted it
I was there
When you first went in
No one twisted your arm
When you tasted it
Like you'd been tasting it your whole life
As you went under into unknown
Remember the music
Pulled out of your head
Tinkling piano trickling into the cans
Insulating guitars
Reptilian bass, the kick in your face
The snare in your heart
You won't get something
Did you make a reservation
You won't get something out of mind
You won't get some things outta my time
I got no reservations
You won't get something out of mind
Woozy strings in the garden
You finger the cymbals
You gawk at machine
Heads cast up your account
Suddenly we had too much
The organs were swelling
The moonbeams were burning
The arrows did fall
Then like the tide went out
The ensemble were dying
Quickening flourish
But that's another story
I gotta jet
It's already too late
It's already too soon
I'm ready to jam
Your tranquil apartment
The ambient music
Music for love time
Incantation in song
Now I stand empty-handed
At the threshold of silence
At the end of performance
At the end of a life
Albert Ross lyrics - The Church
Pretty as sin, the evening began
Think I'm going back to sleep now
The greediest wish, the tastiest dish
Delicious encounter
Kudos all around
Now I want this forever
Everyone must want something
Everyone must want something
Somewhere you cannot go
The luckiest shot
The suckiest plot
Hot nights in the port, I caught you briefly
You were such a good sport
You said, "I want this forever"
Everyone must want something
Forever
Everyone must want something
Somewhere you cannot go
Everyone must want something
Forever
Forever
Everyone must want...
Forever
Forever
...Something
Thorn lyrics - The Church
If you wanna see the future, that's okay
If you buy all of the sky
I'd say come back another day
If you wanna sit on nature that's too bad
If you bleed the silver seed
When you gave your numbers
I was laughing in my office
The offers pouring in and exploring all the office all the way
And I wanna send a shout out to all the ladies
I'm saying Eden is coming back soon
As we walk thru the dawn and the mist and the thunder
Aching to be kissed
If you wanna see the future, that's okay
If you buy all of the sky
I'd say come back another day
Jumble back desk dressed in white
Like the night dressed in black
I'm going down lost in a town
I won't be back
Where have you been all day?
The Elysian fields where we shake this pain away
What have you done all day?
Ridden on the wind, sparkled in the sea spray
In the light of a morning so cold and so gray
And I wanna send a shout out to all the ladies
Bathing in the Tigris and Euphrates
I'm saying Eden is coming back soon
With new improved features and the gardens all in bloom
As we walk through the dawn and the mist (And the thunder)
Our teeth are chattering
Our feet are aching to be kissed
Aerodrome lyrics - The Church
A warm afternoon and I'll be there so soon with you
On any Saturday I'll find a way to break through
Running on the spot in the aerodrome
Journey so hot all the way home
I hate feeling this alone
They're gonna fade it
They're gonna fade it
You're gonna hate it
I wish I never said it, I wish I never read it
I wish I never bought it, I wish I'd never thought it at all
The jungle all crushed by a monsoon
The journey all rushed beneath a lonely moon
I hate feeling this alone
They're gonna fade it
They're gonna fade it
You're gonna hate it
They're gonna fade it
They're gonna fade it
You're gonna hate it
The hidden cost of living, now, I'm giving this life
A burden of the boomers, now, the rumours are rife
The echo snatched away by the whispering wind
A serpent is hatched, a new world begins
I hate feeling this alone
I hate feeling this alone
Don't wanna feel so alone now
I hate feeling this alone
Hey
These Coming Days lyrics - The Church
The wallpaper at your favourite café
The paper flowers in the kitchen
The aromatic pines, the rambling vines
Fill up all of your days
Gardens on rooftops in the city
Speedboats moored up to the jetty
The biblical palms, the loveliest psalms
Take up all of your days
And it happens again
And it happens again
The rusty steel chassis of a stripped down car
Spirit emits a signal near and far
The beckoning hand, the welcoming land
Fill up all of your days
Fill up all of your days
The flying and the fallen
Finding yourself in your enemies heart
3:30 and you knock off early
4:00 and you're ready to start
You can smell the future
And it happens again
You can smell the future
And it happens again
You can smell the future
And it happens again
It happens again
You can smell the future
It happens again
You can smell the future
It happens again
You can smell the future
It happens again
You can smell the future
You can smell the future
You can smell the future
You can smell the future
You can smell the future
No Other You lyrics - The Church
Sun Kim Jong
Well she got in my song
Running ahead in my head
Sun comes along
Nothing can go wrong for her
Shes laughing out loud
Shes making me proud
And justice is hidden
Then love comes unbidden
I'm kidding
There's no other you
There's no other you
Sun Kim Jong
I feel you belong
Bless sister double happiness
Sun comes along
Moon sings her swansong
Shes running a muck like fuck
When the spell is broken
Love is unwoken
I'm joking there's no other you
There's no other you
Succulent lyrics - The Church
Who imagined you?
The nuts and the bolts
The end of the night charging me up like 1000 volts
Drop me a line 'cause I'm sinked and hooked
And turn on the light, I'm checking it out and this space is bold
The feeling peeled away
The ceiling flaking down
The hotels are all empty
So I'm kneeling on the ground
Kneeling on the ground
Who imagined you?
The veins and the nerves
The start of the race thrashing my steed, crashing your curves
Drop me a line
Line up for the queue
Excuse me, user, I'm wondering who on earth imagined you
The feeling peeled away
The ceiling flaking down
The hotels are all empty
So I'm kneeling on the ground
Kneeling on the ground
I am the voice in another room
Entombed in the dead part of your heart
Voice from a gloomy future
Voice from a gloomy past
The hotels are all empty
The feeling peeled away
I am the voice in another room
Entombed in the dead part of your heart
Voice from a gloomy future
Voice from a gloomy past
Voice from a gloomy future
Voice from a gloomy past
Voice from a gloomy future
Voice from a gloomy past
Antarctica lyrics - The Church
Antarctica
I hear you calling me all through the night
Antarctica
I feel you holding me so cold and white
Antarctica
I feel you watching me and take a big bite
Antarctica
I hear you calling me all through the night
I'm coming on board
I feel your hand on my shoulder
I'm coming on board
I feel your hand on my shoulder
Antarctica
Well I been calling for days
Antarctica
I been freezing today
Antarctica
Yeah you been under my gaze
Antarctica
Well I been calling for days
Well I was out there
Well I was out there
Yes, go on
Well I was out there that day
Yes, yes
Well I was out there that day
Go on
Go on
Oh, no, I can't go on
Yes, yes
Oh, no, I can't go on
Yes, yes
Oh, no
Oh, no
Down on the cold side of town
You take the easy way down
The fisherman and his shack
Water so cold and so black
The scientist in the graveyard
Sea lion marching up the boulevard
The doctor and his wife who ran away
They don't care
The walrus and the carpenter
They don't care
Second Bridge lyrics - The Church
I'm sorry
I was miles away
A black cloud left me here with a lack of remorse
Of course
We've been blown off course
A source of the present
The moon as a crescent
The master and the servant
The dragging of the current
The pressure of the distance
The measure of insistence
They say this isle is full of noises
An intruder in the burrow
The hand within the hollow
Follow me down to the ruined town
The tears upon the pillow
The shock of the first hello
The web upon the window
The shadow of a widow
Today they wake up to a nightmare
The choking of the shallow
The weeping of the willow
I wanted to be here for you (Possession)
I'm home to lay, I'm fading out
We loved you even greater (New position)
And you ought to
And you ought to know
The terrain upon the surface
The meaning of the purpose
I'm nervous about the delay
The chatter of the carriage
The marriage to the damage
We'd love to be here for you (Possession)
We're home to lay, you're fading out
We loved you even greater (New position)
Things you ought to
Things you ought to know
Today I came to in the morning
I was writhing in the undergrowth
The DA says you're under oath
And tonight I go to my sleep backwards
And then I'll live life forwards
I'll be completely normal
Another Century lyrics - The Church
I gotta light a candle for you
So you can see yourself in the dark
I gotta get a handle on you (so you can see yourself)
And the hand will leave a mark
I gotta get directions off you (can you see yourself)
The mirror flare could be anywhere
The night is a liar
Overthrow the tyrant
Overthrow the tyrant
And in the fading light I saw
When you asked yourself
Why has this happened to me
Once or twice (once or twice)
Something nice might have come of it
I gotta fight a battle for you
Dial it back another century
Another night I'd settle for you (you can see yourself)
Every morning and everywhere
Today is a liar
Undergo the silence
Undergo the silence
And in the fading light I saw
When you asked yourself
Why has this happened to me
Once or twice
In the fading night I heard
When they shoot themselves
How did this happen to me
Once or twice (once or twice)
Something nice might have come of it
Something nice might have come of it
I gotta light a candle for you
So you can see yourself...
Submarine lyrics - The Church
It's all about love
It's all about love
It's all about love
It's all about love
Submarine the city
Sydney city of lizards
City in a jungle
City in a desert
(No matter what you say)
A desert swallows a forest
A glacier in your valley
Valley in the ocean
Desert in a sea
Nature loves a winner
We gonna end up some creature's dinner
Devil loves a sinner
You were on the menu
You're just a beginner
(So scared of love)
Submarine the monster
Shudders in its mansion
Ugly in its city
Ugly in its beauty
An ocean swallows the island
Takes us squares and guard us
Takes us city and mansions
Takes her devil and monster
For King Knife lyrics - The Church
A song for king knife
Along the lines of the vine of life
A new song for the king
The king of nearly everything
The king
The king
The king
A dog and a unicycle
A thimble and a thrush, no rush
The show will start without you
A pony and a clown
A ticket to the dance, no chance
The show will start without you
A crown for queen spoon
A lovely eiderdown, been too soon
A new crown for the queen
The queen I've nearly never seen
The queen
The queen
The queen
A wicked little mannikin
A squirrel and a bird, I heard
The show will start without you
A window in a tree
A flourish and a feather forever
The show will start without you
And the show will start without you
Yes the show will start without you
Undersea lyrics - The Church
Fly makes a honey man bee sorta
Sky makes the money man flee sorta
Lie makes a funny man plead and slaughter
Crack makes a low boy ache faster
Flack makes a slow boy shake faster
Slack makes a show boy fake his master
Fly makes a honey man bee sorta
Sly makes a honey man bee sorta
Why makes a honey man bee sorta
(I can see the water)
You are the bee, the best of the bunch
And they laugh out loud at this stupid little lunch
Comin' closer following a hunch (find you're out there)
Undersea
(Fly makes a honey man
Fly makes a honey man bee
Fly makes a honey man)
Fly makes a honey man bee sorta
Sky makes a money man flee sorta
Lie makes a funny man plead and slaughter
(I can see the water)
Crack makes a low boy ache faster
Flack makes a slow boy shake faster
Slack makes a show boy fake his master
(Its effect disaster)
You wanna take the rest of the stuff
Well everybody said we can never get enough
Comin' closer, a blind man's bluff
That's rough, I can tell you it's rough
(...best you might bee)
You want all your love off the cuff (slow boy, low boy)
Comin' closer, puff by puff
Undersea (undersea)
(Fly makes a honey man bee sorta
Fly makes a honey man bee)
Fly makes a honey man bee sorta
Fly makes a honey man bee
Fly makes a honey man bee sorta (fly makes a honey man)
Fly makes a honey man bee (fly makes a honey man)
Fly makes a honey man
Fly
Before The Deluge lyrics - The Church
Well you never really had a choice
Fall in line now your mind's full up stuck
Life is a distraction in a dream
Bundle of bees follow the breeze
Lost love
They found you now
Round 'em up
You got me now
Well I never really had a clue
My hands are full of sandals
Feet so tender bare
Stumble in a cyclone of drones
They're watching everything we cannot see
Shanghai
You turn me on
Oceania
You got me now
Something
Something so huge
Before the deluge
No refuge
Something
Something in the wild reeking of despair
Some grand gesture gone and test your scant resolve
Recontextualizing sex
Your accidental rehab in a lab
Century
Century of roll
Brasilia
Oh you got me now
Twilight falls so cold into the aching rooms
Sign of love now is alive on grooves
Life is a sequence in a routine
New test tube baby can be in tears upon the tracks
Baby, oh America
Bad hit you got me now
Something
Something so huge
Before the deluge
No refuge
Something
Something so huge
Before the deluge
No refuge
I Don't Know How I Don't Know lyrics - The Church
Voyage begins with a single sail
Weave through the heaving sea
Even as the city leaves me
I don't know how I don't know why
Pale glare deceiving
Jail bird sings such a sad song
Even as the city leaves me
I gotta choose sometime
I gotta lose sometime
I don't know how I don't know why
I don't know how I don't know why
I step into the shade where the fading loom
I get a bit delayed in the waiting room
I get a bit unmade on a mushroom
I get a bit abraded in your jaded tomb
I gotta choose sometime
I gotta lose sometime
I gotta choose sometime
I don't know how I don't know why
I don't know how I don't know why
I don't know how I don't know why
I don't know how I don't know why
I don't know how I don't know why
A Face In A Film lyrics - The Church
Crocodiles and allegations
Scale of your intrigue
Never mind my palpitations
It's like the League of Nations
Snakes and laddered stockings
Are ripping in the sea
Never mind the boat is rocking
Sequences unlocking
Sing but seldom seen the sun of salvation
New moon of celebration in your sky
A face in a film I saw
To whom you bore a strange similarity
I walk before you like a door
Monsters and mirages
A minaret, a coronet
Like a motor when it charges
Gotta pay for all the surges
Silhouettes and sentimental
A figure in the surf
Oh the time is tempermental
All our lives are not attained
Sing but seldom seen the sun of salvation
New moon of celebration in your sky
A face in a film I saw
To whom you bore a strange similarity
I walk before you like a door
In Your Fog lyrics - The Church
Soul unto soul
Until everybody know
All the lost souls went below
When you see her say hello
Greed unto greed
Until everybody feed
Exhaust a mustang
You burn down a boulevard painted new
When suddenly bang!
You take your last look
You read your last book
You're unobtainable in your fog
Unashame-able like a dog
Greed into greed
Until everybody feed
Meek will be a seed
Need to succeed
Soul unto soul
Until everybody know
And youth must go
You shake from the battle when your bottle is lean
And when you gone
You do the fast bit
You have your last hit
It is delusional
The unreal deal
I'm confused enough
Like an eel
Holy water
Fill me with euphoria
Holy water
Fill me with euphoria
It tastes delusional
The unreal deal
I'm confused enough
Like an eel
You take your last look
You read your last book
You're unobtainable in your fog
Unashame-able like a dog
Something Out There Is Wrong lyrics - The Church
Oh no
All the little rivers and the shivers go
Blow me down
Look, see
All the little devils and their hooks in me
Wake me up
Shake me down
When the stars align
A line appears so fine
When the stars align
Oh boy
All the little singers that we will enjoy
Turn my head
Then we
Take a little trip to like Italy
With its heel
What you feel
When the stars align
A line appears so fine
When the stars align
Something out there is wrong
Something out there is wrong
Something out there is wrong
Oh yeah
Rush right in we just don't care
Careless fools
Dumb luck
All the little gigabytes what the fuck
What the hell
Who can tell
So hard
Sold my little soul now by the yard
Hardly a star
Pick a card
Something out there is wrong
Something out there is wrong
Something out there is wrong
Something out there is wrong
Something out there is wrong
Something out there is wrong
Dark Waltz lyrics - The Church
When you penetrate the empty sound of the rain with all your being
Said you never knew such rapture could stop your tiny eyes from seeing (when I wasn't there)
When you turn out for fun but someone's playing a part that someone else is reading (when I wasn't there)
Down hotel corridor room 44 before your harm [heart?] was bleeding
Oh, all over it
Feels like never again
When you penetrate the empty sound of the rain
(When I wasn't...)
When you orchestrate a breakout through the emerging surge of bleak ideas (when I wasn't there)
And overhead the camera's idiot gaze, it just blinks and leers (when I wasn't there)
When you apprehend the weekend that just ended has been gone for years (when I wasn't there)
Oh, all over it
Feels like never again
When you penetrate the empty sound of the rain
When you live and die and laugh and cry all in the space of a second (when I wasn't there)
When you hit the subtotal on your bill and still it was all so much more than you reckoned (when I wasn't there)
When you stumble on the path of tears don't crumble now that future has beckoned
Oh, all over it
Feels like never again
Oh, all over it
Feels like never again
When you penetrate the empty sound
Oh, all over it
Feels like never again
When you penetrate the empty sound of the rain
Oh, all over it
Feels like never again
When you penetrate the empty sound of the rain
(When I wasn't there) [repeated to end]
Vanishing Man lyrics - The Church
Sinister bastard
Your casket groans from sins
You pulled a fast one
Slug a drug from plugins
Narcissus black
It's grim up to the brim
You little cracker
Watch your back pilgrim
Can't stop it
We got it coming
We got a calling, majesty and power
Like you know you should
We got a feeling
We cannot feel it
We gotta send this majesty and power
Like you know you could
And when you bring the fire
Majesty and power
Majesty and power
Majesty and power
Majesty and power
Vanishing man
You can appear as you like
You took her demand
Bestrode it like a bike
Lucifer Jones
In heck up to your neck
A big bag of bones
Oh watch your spell check
Can't stop it
We got it coming
We got a calling, majesty and power
Like you know you should
We got a feeling
We cannot feel it
We gotta send this majesty and power
Like you know you could
And when you bring the fire
Majesty and power
Majesty and power
Majesty and power
Majesty and power
Beelzebub brown
It's hot holed in this grotto
You dang it down
I frown at you
You're blotto
Like you know you should
Like you know you could
And when you bring...
(Majesty and power)
(Majesty and power)
Your casket groans from sins
You pulled a fast one
Slug a drug from plugins
Narcissus black
It's grim up to the brim
You little cracker
Watch your back pilgrim
Can't stop it
We got it coming
We got a calling, majesty and power
Like you know you should
We got a feeling
We cannot feel it
We gotta send this majesty and power
Like you know you could
And when you bring the fire
Majesty and power
Majesty and power
Majesty and power
Majesty and power
Vanishing man
You can appear as you like
You took her demand
Bestrode it like a bike
Lucifer Jones
In heck up to your neck
A big bag of bones
Oh watch your spell check
Can't stop it
We got it coming
We got a calling, majesty and power
Like you know you should
We got a feeling
We cannot feel it
We gotta send this majesty and power
Like you know you could
And when you bring the fire
Majesty and power
Majesty and power
Majesty and power
Majesty and power
Beelzebub brown
It's hot holed in this grotto
You dang it down
I frown at you
You're blotto
Like you know you should
Like you know you could
And when you bring...

Delirious lyrics - The Church
Sedate me
I'm fated to be seriously delirious
It's not far with all my heart
And I can't even understand a thing or two
What you gonna do
Aaah, aaah
If anyone thinks this is easy
When everyone thinks it's deliberately done
These pieces are easy, they try to put them all together
It's impossible, do you think you could please me
Deflated, undersaturated
I'm captivated, delirious
I hope so with all my soul
And I can almost comprehend night from day
What you gonna say
Aaah, aaah
If anyone thinks this is easy
And everyone thinks it's deliberately done
These pieces are easy, they try to put them all together
It's impossible, do you think you could please me
Oooh, oooh
The pieces are easy
Try to put them together
Oooh
Try to put them all together
And I, I can almost recognize wrong from right
Almost but not quite
If anyone thinks this is easy
And everyone thinks it's deliberately done
These pieces are easy, they try to put them all together
It's impossible, do you think you could please me
You're delirious
It's deliberately done
Delirious
Do you think you could please me
I'm fated to be seriously delirious
It's not far with all my heart
And I can't even understand a thing or two
What you gonna do
Aaah, aaah
If anyone thinks this is easy
When everyone thinks it's deliberately done
These pieces are easy, they try to put them all together
It's impossible, do you think you could please me
Deflated, undersaturated
I'm captivated, delirious
I hope so with all my soul
And I can almost comprehend night from day
What you gonna say
Aaah, aaah
If anyone thinks this is easy
And everyone thinks it's deliberately done
These pieces are easy, they try to put them all together
It's impossible, do you think you could please me
Oooh, oooh
The pieces are easy
Try to put them together
Oooh
Try to put them all together
And I, I can almost recognize wrong from right
Almost but not quite
If anyone thinks this is easy
And everyone thinks it's deliberately done
These pieces are easy, they try to put them all together
It's impossible, do you think you could please me
You're delirious
It's deliberately done
Delirious
Do you think you could please me
Pride Before A Fall lyrics - The Church
On tippy-toe, quiet you go
So not to wake the sleeper
And now you know that actual love
It goes further, deeper
Pride before a fall
Dark before the dawn
Fall and fall and fall
Call into you all
You face the blame graceless, ashamed
But baby it's a creeper
You fan the flame, empty flame of fame
But if the heart is deeper / But it burn harder, steeper
Lust and anger, pride and sloth
We took her from the same cloth
All that envy, vanity
Gonna be the end of me
On tippy-toe, careful and slow
Find the knees are weaker / loser, weeper
Pride before a fall
Dark before the dawn
Fall and fall and fall
Call into you all
(Seek light from the stars tonight
Up from the planet sky
Live love as the sunlight)
Pride before a fall (She's caught in the spotlight)
Dark before the dawn (Seek sun from the planet sky)
Fall and fall and fall (Live bright as the sunlight)
Call into you all (Pride before a fall)
So not to wake the sleeper
And now you know that actual love
It goes further, deeper
Pride before a fall
Dark before the dawn
Fall and fall and fall
Call into you all
You face the blame graceless, ashamed
But baby it's a creeper
You fan the flame, empty flame of fame
But if the heart is deeper / But it burn harder, steeper
Lust and anger, pride and sloth
We took her from the same cloth
All that envy, vanity
Gonna be the end of me
On tippy-toe, careful and slow
Find the knees are weaker / loser, weeper
Pride before a fall
Dark before the dawn
Fall and fall and fall
Call into you all
(Seek light from the stars tonight
Up from the planet sky
Live love as the sunlight)
Pride before a fall (She's caught in the spotlight)
Dark before the dawn (Seek sun from the planet sky)
Fall and fall and fall (Live bright as the sunlight)
Call into you all (Pride before a fall)
Toy Head lyrics - The Church
When you take off your head
But the darkness prevails
And they loosen the screws
But that remedy fails
You flake away just like gold
The flecks are under my skin
And you reach into time
Feel the era begin
When you take off your head
And you see the void yawn
And you feel the bough break
And a monster is born
You walk away like a fool
Darts fly into your flesh
Don't wait around too long
Hook is deep in the mesh
Ahh-ahh, take it off, go to bed
Ahh-ahh, take off your head
Why do we come here?
Why do we come here?
Why do we come here?
Why do we come here?
When you take off your head
Then there's the glow of the burn
All the shadows increase
All the horrors return
Ahh-ahh, take it off, go to bed
Ahh-ahh, let's take off your head
Ahh-ahh, take it off, go to bed
When you take off your head
And you set it aside
Yet the fog will persist
And the morning subside
When you take off your head
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Yes you slip off the barbs
In some idiot's bed
You were looking for laughs
And the laughs disappeared
You're a million years old
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh-ahh
So you take off your head
But you find love inside
And you do as you're told
You get a vulture eye view
So you take off your head
Ahh-ahh-ahh
(Ahh-ahh-ahh, take off your head)
(Ahh-ahh-ahh, take off your head)
But the darkness prevails
And they loosen the screws
But that remedy fails
You flake away just like gold
The flecks are under my skin
And you reach into time
Feel the era begin
When you take off your head
And you see the void yawn
And you feel the bough break
And a monster is born
You walk away like a fool
Darts fly into your flesh
Don't wait around too long
Hook is deep in the mesh
Ahh-ahh, take it off, go to bed
Ahh-ahh, take off your head
Why do we come here?
Why do we come here?
Why do we come here?
Why do we come here?
When you take off your head
Then there's the glow of the burn
All the shadows increase
All the horrors return
Ahh-ahh, take it off, go to bed
Ahh-ahh, let's take off your head
Ahh-ahh, take it off, go to bed
When you take off your head
And you set it aside
Yet the fog will persist
And the morning subside
When you take off your head
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Yes you slip off the barbs
In some idiot's bed
You were looking for laughs
And the laughs disappeared
You're a million years old
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh-ahh
So you take off your head
But you find love inside
And you do as you're told
You get a vulture eye view
So you take off your head
Ahh-ahh-ahh
(Ahh-ahh-ahh, take off your head)
(Ahh-ahh-ahh, take off your head)
Laurel Canyon lyrics - The Church
All those times we parted
All those times we saw it through
Couldn't finish what I started
I was diminished without you
There's music in my memory
And I listen as the miles go by
I guess I'm only temporary
Like a love song flowing by
Going to Laurel Canyon
Finding my own way
In some cool dimension
Where it's always Saturday
Said that I was always welcome
When we said goodbye in the harshest lights
I sense that should that will come again
I'd find a hundred men to mind you get out alright
And even as I stand here
I understand there has been some mistake
And even as I roam here
That lonesome sound, that old heartbreak
Going to Laurel Canyon
Finding my own way
In some cool dimension
Where that is I just can't say
I just can't say
Where the birds are singing vespers
The four rivers bringing out my best
In this place forgive our trespasses
Unless there's more, much more to confess
Going to Laurel Canyon
Finding my own way
In some cool dimension
Where you can never hide away
All those times we saw it through
Couldn't finish what I started
I was diminished without you
There's music in my memory
And I listen as the miles go by
I guess I'm only temporary
Like a love song flowing by
Going to Laurel Canyon
Finding my own way
In some cool dimension
Where it's always Saturday
Said that I was always welcome
When we said goodbye in the harshest lights
I sense that should that will come again
I'd find a hundred men to mind you get out alright
And even as I stand here
I understand there has been some mistake
And even as I roam here
That lonesome sound, that old heartbreak
Going to Laurel Canyon
Finding my own way
In some cool dimension
Where that is I just can't say
I just can't say
Where the birds are singing vespers
The four rivers bringing out my best
In this place forgive our trespasses
Unless there's more, much more to confess
Going to Laurel Canyon
Finding my own way
In some cool dimension
Where you can never hide away
Love Philtre lyrics - The Church
The buzzing chrome of blue unending
Pretending I still have somewhere left to turn
The fading flower of hours wilting
Love philtre, still something left to learn
There's still a love to live for
We're reinvented, our minds are made up
The moon's pretending, our lives invaded
The way corroded, our love is philtred
The sensual realm of stone invaded
Pervaded by a sense of betrayal
The hidden life of love corroded
I'm loaded to love's details
There's still a love to live for
We're reinvented, our minds are made up
The moon's pretending, our lives invaded
The way corroded, our love is philtred
A lovely loss of blossom scented
Repented by the tops of the hoy, coy
The moon's pretending, our lives invaded
The way corroded, our love is philtred
The moon's pretending, our lives invaded
The way corroded, our love is philtred
The moon's pretending, our lives invaded
The way corroded, our love is philtred
Pretending I still have somewhere left to turn
The fading flower of hours wilting
Love philtre, still something left to learn
There's still a love to live for
We're reinvented, our minds are made up
The moon's pretending, our lives invaded
The way corroded, our love is philtred
The sensual realm of stone invaded
Pervaded by a sense of betrayal
The hidden life of love corroded
I'm loaded to love's details
There's still a love to live for
We're reinvented, our minds are made up
The moon's pretending, our lives invaded
The way corroded, our love is philtred
A lovely loss of blossom scented
Repented by the tops of the hoy, coy
The moon's pretending, our lives invaded
The way corroded, our love is philtred
The moon's pretending, our lives invaded
The way corroded, our love is philtred
The moon's pretending, our lives invaded
The way corroded, our love is philtred
Globe Spinning lyrics - The Church
Long and lonely
Long and lonely song
Only longed twice in a row
When you fall in a group
Then out you go
(Saved the last star, falling far away
Saved the last star, falling far away
Saved the last star, falling far away)
It's almost never tomorrow
Time has left no footprint in these sands
No hint of passing in these lands
When there's no light to follow
Long and lonely
Long and lonely song
Only longed twice in a row
When you fall in a group
Then out you go
The power to stop is beholding
You cowl but I think withholding from love
After the pain has dropped
After the rain
(Saved the last star, falling far away
Saved the last star, falling far away
Saved the last star, falling far away
Saved the last star, falling far away)
We're spending more than we borrow
Money has no meaning in the hand
It's just columns buried in the ground
Scheme of things so heavily hollow
Long and lonely
Long and lonely song
Only longed twice in a row
When you fall in a group
Then out you go
The coward has charges misleading
He barges in disbelieving no more
Back but no emptier
Covered in dirt
Out you go, out you go, out you go
Falling far away
Out you go, out you go, out you go
Falling far away
Falling far away
Long and lonely song
Only longed twice in a row
When you fall in a group
Then out you go
(Saved the last star, falling far away
Saved the last star, falling far away
Saved the last star, falling far away)
It's almost never tomorrow
Time has left no footprint in these sands
No hint of passing in these lands
When there's no light to follow
Long and lonely
Long and lonely song
Only longed twice in a row
When you fall in a group
Then out you go
The power to stop is beholding
You cowl but I think withholding from love
After the pain has dropped
After the rain
(Saved the last star, falling far away
Saved the last star, falling far away
Saved the last star, falling far away
Saved the last star, falling far away)
We're spending more than we borrow
Money has no meaning in the hand
It's just columns buried in the ground
Scheme of things so heavily hollow
Long and lonely
Long and lonely song
Only longed twice in a row
When you fall in a group
Then out you go
The coward has charges misleading
He barges in disbelieving no more
Back but no emptier
Covered in dirt
Out you go, out you go, out you go
Falling far away
Out you go, out you go, out you go
Falling far away
Falling far away
Old Coast Road lyrics - The Church
Sun coming down on my shoulder
Moon going down in the sea
I knew nothing could hold her
It took everything from me
We drove into the salt water
A clear sweet shadow lit out
Rolled in stolen Corona
The highway was drowning her out
And then she told me
Don't be afraid of yourself
But when she rolled my dice
That double six was for someone else
I asked if it was over
I mask over my hate
Sadder, well I could control her
Down to her matter late
And then she told me
You've only got today
But when I asked for another
She looked at me and looked away
And then she showed me the menace in her past
And then she showed me another way
And then she owed me everything
But she couldn't stay
Sun coming down on the shoulder
Moon coming up from the sea
Days pass from warmer to colder
Return like a child unto me
And then she told me
Don't be afraid of yourself
And then she told me
You only got today
And then she told me
You'll never be alone
But on that Old Coast Road
When I woke up there was no one home
Moon going down in the sea
I knew nothing could hold her
It took everything from me
We drove into the salt water
A clear sweet shadow lit out
Rolled in stolen Corona
The highway was drowning her out
And then she told me
Don't be afraid of yourself
But when she rolled my dice
That double six was for someone else
I asked if it was over
I mask over my hate
Sadder, well I could control her
Down to her matter late
And then she told me
You've only got today
But when I asked for another
She looked at me and looked away
And then she showed me the menace in her past
And then she showed me another way
And then she owed me everything
But she couldn't stay
Sun coming down on the shoulder
Moon coming up from the sea
Days pass from warmer to colder
Return like a child unto me
And then she told me
Don't be afraid of yourself
And then she told me
You only got today
And then she told me
You'll never be alone
But on that Old Coast Road
When I woke up there was no one home
Lightning White lyrics - The Church
The toffee tar of our wrong road has melted
Crashed the car but no one ever felt it
In summer when it rains on a hot wet night
And everything looks spooky in the lightning white
You say, 'Hey, is everything ok?'
You're in your old Arabian nights
Long, long way to me
And has the money been sorted
Have all the men disappeared
And have the people cavorted
It's reported
We're near
Just as I fear
The greedy smile of a creature now ending
Another mile and everyone befriending
Those humid evenings, it's just like Pompeii
When the first shock hit it lit up like day
When the players all stopped and dropped down their acts
And the lava lover lie, stops in her tracks
You go 'Oh!' over a rainbow and the old Arabian nights
Right now, long ago
And has the stuff been imported
And have the audience cheered
And have the customers bought it
Its sort of cheer
Just as I fear
I gotta go in the other direction
I got a god, his name is perfection
I got a girl, she is my reflection
I got a world of total connection
In summer when the atmosphere caves in the roof
And all the stars in the black sky hold themselves aloof
You think my eyes are on the blink
But I'm in my old Arabian nights drowning in the sink
And has the money been sorted
And have the room disappeared
And have you people cavorted
It's reported
We're near...
Crashed the car but no one ever felt it
In summer when it rains on a hot wet night
And everything looks spooky in the lightning white
You say, 'Hey, is everything ok?'
You're in your old Arabian nights
Long, long way to me
And has the money been sorted
Have all the men disappeared
And have the people cavorted
It's reported
We're near
Just as I fear
The greedy smile of a creature now ending
Another mile and everyone befriending
Those humid evenings, it's just like Pompeii
When the first shock hit it lit up like day
When the players all stopped and dropped down their acts
And the lava lover lie, stops in her tracks
You go 'Oh!' over a rainbow and the old Arabian nights
Right now, long ago
And has the stuff been imported
And have the audience cheered
And have the customers bought it
Its sort of cheer
Just as I fear
I gotta go in the other direction
I got a god, his name is perfection
I got a girl, she is my reflection
I got a world of total connection
In summer when the atmosphere caves in the roof
And all the stars in the black sky hold themselves aloof
You think my eyes are on the blink
But I'm in my old Arabian nights drowning in the sink
And has the money been sorted
And have the room disappeared
And have you people cavorted
It's reported
We're near...
Let Us Go lyrics - The Church
See the baby walking through the sleet
A monster moves in the violent sea
Go, I let that go
The tightrope breaks, the magic's gone
Nothing matters, we're falling stars
Evaporate, dust in space
The music fades, no accolades
No, that's a snow
If you touch us we'll disappear
If you're waiting we're never here
If you listen, please just let us know
Please let us go
If you touch us we disappear
If you're waiting we're never here
Oh, let it grow
See a baby walking through the sleet
A monster moves in the violent sea
She's the one with the wild white feet
She's the one with the moon and star
No, I let that go
The tightrope breaks, the magic's gone
Nothing matters, we're falling stars
Evaluate, does this taste so good
No, please, let us go
Let us go
Let us go
Let us go
Let us go
Let us go
Let us go
Let us go (Please let us go) (No please don't let us go)
Let us go (Please) (No please don't let us go)
Let us go
A monster moves in the violent sea
Go, I let that go
The tightrope breaks, the magic's gone
Nothing matters, we're falling stars
Evaporate, dust in space
The music fades, no accolades
No, that's a snow
If you touch us we'll disappear
If you're waiting we're never here
If you listen, please just let us know
Please let us go
If you touch us we disappear
If you're waiting we're never here
Oh, let it grow
See a baby walking through the sleet
A monster moves in the violent sea
She's the one with the wild white feet
She's the one with the moon and star
No, I let that go
The tightrope breaks, the magic's gone
Nothing matters, we're falling stars
Evaluate, does this taste so good
No, please, let us go
Let us go
Let us go
Let us go
Let us go
Let us go
Let us go
Let us go (Please let us go) (No please don't let us go)
Let us go (Please) (No please don't let us go)
Let us go
Volkano lyrics - The Church
We never recognize the tell-tale signs
Well boys, make your choice, make up your minds
All of this cargo and all of the seas
Wherever they go it was by a beaked prow and a fair breeze
Gone, running for the sun
Before the storm erupts again
Over our head, coming right along
Oh do you wanna stay and say hello
To the volkano (to the volkano)
We never anticipated anything that happens
The minute the light gets thinner the sky just blackens
And all of these waves, all of this sound
Wherever we go it was by our lucky fingers and our honour bound
Gone, running for the sun
Before the storm erupts again
Over our head, coming right along
Oh do you wanna stay and say hello
To the volkano (to the volkano)
And all of this water, and all of this land
We gotta give the people something they gonna understand
Gone, running for the sun
Before the storm erupts again
Over our head, coming right along
Gone, running for the sun (do you want to stay and say hello)
Before the storm erupts again (to the volkano)
Oh do you wanna stay and say hello (wanna stay and say,
stay and say hello) (wanna stay and say hello)
To the volkano
(Do you wanna stay)
Well boys, make your choice, make up your minds
All of this cargo and all of the seas
Wherever they go it was by a beaked prow and a fair breeze
Gone, running for the sun
Before the storm erupts again
Over our head, coming right along
Oh do you wanna stay and say hello
To the volkano (to the volkano)
We never anticipated anything that happens
The minute the light gets thinner the sky just blackens
And all of these waves, all of this sound
Wherever we go it was by our lucky fingers and our honour bound
Gone, running for the sun
Before the storm erupts again
Over our head, coming right along
Oh do you wanna stay and say hello
To the volkano (to the volkano)
And all of this water, and all of this land
We gotta give the people something they gonna understand
Gone, running for the sun
Before the storm erupts again
Over our head, coming right along
Gone, running for the sun (do you want to stay and say hello)
Before the storm erupts again (to the volkano)
Oh do you wanna stay and say hello (wanna stay and say,
stay and say hello) (wanna stay and say hello)
To the volkano
(Do you wanna stay)
Miami lyrics - The Church
I'm moving back to Miami
And you'll be able to see me
I'm living down by the sea babe
Now you'll be able to see me (any time you like)
And if you walk away
Nothing will change
I think that it's strange
I think that it's easy
It's easy for you
Asleep in the darkness
After what you went through
My curtains are open
Fog confuses the light
Some distant reflection
Some elusive night
Alright
Ahh baby
Won't you fly down to me
In the place by the sea
I think Humphrey Bogart stayed there in 1943
He was joined by Janet Leigh, babe
And if you never come
Well that would be strange
I don't think I've changed
I don't think I mentioned
I met someone else
Her compassionate tears
Oh they were like tiny bells
She was better than both of us
I shoulda stayed my hand
I shoulda stayed in Miami
With the seagulls and sand
But the devil is doubt
And I'm out on the street
Walking about
Talking so sweet
Bringing brief reminders
I singing your softest song
I thinking it's all a dream
And I'll wake up and be gone
Be gone!
Oh baby
Whatever I say, it has escaped me
Maybe I'll find the money
Fly you first class on BOAC
If you come down to Miami
You can leave right away
If you are game
I think I'm the same
I think of you cold
I think of you still
I think of you living
Your ziggurat on a hill
The gardens were moving
Like waves on a shore
My head always aching
My eyes always sore
Swim in cool heat
Some weather door slammed
A car started up
Frequencies jammed
Miami, Miami
My fingers and pores
Someone picks up
All in due course
And you'll be able to see me
I'm living down by the sea babe
Now you'll be able to see me (any time you like)
And if you walk away
Nothing will change
I think that it's strange
I think that it's easy
It's easy for you
Asleep in the darkness
After what you went through
My curtains are open
Fog confuses the light
Some distant reflection
Some elusive night
Alright
Ahh baby
Won't you fly down to me
In the place by the sea
I think Humphrey Bogart stayed there in 1943

Marine Drive lyrics - The Church
No need for turquoise tortoise
No heed the board is toward us
No need for idle mortis
Can't I'm gonna short us
Down on Marine Drive
You can aspire
Line 'em up and shine 'em up and sign 'em up (if you find a fortune key)
Well I don't care
Burn 'em up and learn 'em up and turn 'em up (won't you find a sweeter key)
I don't mind
Cash 'em up and bash 'em up and lash 'em up (if you find a sweeter key)
Well I don't care
Sweet weed for mask and snorkel
No bubble when you chuckle
Down on Marine Drive
You can aspire
Line 'em up and shine 'em up and sign 'em up (if you find a fortune key)
Well I don't care
Burn 'em up and learn 'em up and turn 'em up (oh won't you find a sweeter key)
I don't mind
Cash 'em up and bash 'em up and lash 'em up (if you find a sweeter key)
Well I don't care
Stick 'em up and lick 'em up and hit 'em up (won't you find a sweeter key)
Well I don't mind (I don't mind, I don't mind)
No heed the board is toward us
No need for idle mortis
Can't I'm gonna short us
Down on Marine Drive
You can aspire
Line 'em up and shine 'em up and sign 'em up (if you find a fortune key)
Well I don't care
Burn 'em up and learn 'em up and turn 'em up (won't you find a sweeter key)
I don't mind
Cash 'em up and bash 'em up and lash 'em up (if you find a sweeter key)
Well I don't care
Sweet weed for mask and snorkel
No bubble when you chuckle
Down on Marine Drive
You can aspire
Line 'em up and shine 'em up and sign 'em up (if you find a fortune key)
Well I don't care
Burn 'em up and learn 'em up and turn 'em up (oh won't you find a sweeter key)
I don't mind
Cash 'em up and bash 'em up and lash 'em up (if you find a sweeter key)
Well I don't care
Stick 'em up and lick 'em up and hit 'em up (won't you find a sweeter key)
Well I don't mind (I don't mind, I don't mind)
The Girl Is Buoyant lyrics - The Church
Continental driftwood feels good
Hold it down, floating around
King of the disclaimers
Defamer of the famous
Rocking the boat
Never know love as loud
Without sin the girl is buoyant
You can see she is clairvoyant
Then they say the girl is bolder
Got this day job night had sold her
Elemental ocean
A quotient of salt
Don't float down
Beginning with our town
The rush of heat succeeds against the [?]
Without a sound, we all run around
(Without a sound)
Without sin the girl is buoyant
You can see she is clairvoyant
Then they say the girl is bolder
Got this day job night had sold her
Scraping past he's faster than the last one
Freshly crowned, we all run around
Without a sound
Hold it down, floating around
King of the disclaimers
Defamer of the famous
Rocking the boat
Never know love as loud
Without sin the girl is buoyant
You can see she is clairvoyant
Then they say the girl is bolder
Got this day job night had sold her
Elemental ocean
A quotient of salt
Don't float down
Beginning with our town
The rush of heat succeeds against the [?]
Without a sound, we all run around
(Without a sound)
Without sin the girl is buoyant
You can see she is clairvoyant
Then they say the girl is bolder
Got this day job night had sold her
Scraping past he's faster than the last one
Freshly crowned, we all run around
Without a sound
Xmas lyrics - The Church
Drifting along at eventide, it was Christmas
Loneliest day of the year if you're alone
Where you going to?
Nobody knows
What's it coming to?
It's coming blow by blow
No snow for you
No not today
You stop your bridges
And you burn them all away
Walking about, give me a shout, it was Christmas
The saddest day of the year if you're still sad
Holiday spot, all hurrying up for the Christmas
Those rich Italian girls with their mum and their dad
Rolling along quite nicely thanks
Or lolling about our malleable shanks
And the serpents cut through the surface
With all their spray
Drifting around at the eventide, it was Christmas
Loveliest day of the year if you're alone
Where you going to?
I'm going home I suppose
What's it coming to?
It's coming and it shows
No cheer for you
No not today
They took your baubles and your tinsel
And threw them all away
Where you going to?
I'm gonna change my clothes
What's it coming to?
Well nobody knows
Where you going to?
Where the wildflower grows
Where's it coming from?
Where the river flows
No cheer for you
No not today
They took your baubles and your tinsel
And threw them all away
No snow for you
No not today
You stop your bridges
And you burn them all away
Loneliest day of the year if you're alone
Where you going to?
Nobody knows
What's it coming to?
It's coming blow by blow
No snow for you
No not today
You stop your bridges
And you burn them all away
Walking about, give me a shout, it was Christmas
The saddest day of the year if you're still sad
Holiday spot, all hurrying up for the Christmas
Those rich Italian girls with their mum and their dad
Rolling along quite nicely thanks
Or lolling about our malleable shanks
And the serpents cut through the surface
With all their spray
Drifting around at the eventide, it was Christmas
Loveliest day of the year if you're alone
Where you going to?
I'm going home I suppose
What's it coming to?
It's coming and it shows
No cheer for you
No not today
They took your baubles and your tinsel
And threw them all away
Where you going to?
I'm gonna change my clothes
What's it coming to?
Well nobody knows
Where you going to?
Where the wildflower grows
Where's it coming from?
Where the river flows
No cheer for you
No not today
They took your baubles and your tinsel
And threw them all away
No snow for you
No not today
You stop your bridges
And you burn them all away

Insanity lyrics - The Church
It's just insanity
The concept and the fee
The lunatics are free
The nightmares in my dream
A time I live again
Is only pain in my head
And you can't let them take it if you're suicidal
And it's full of holes is only your rival
I need some recompense
It's just insanity
The concept and the fee
The lunatics are free
The nightmares in my dream
The jailers hands turn sour
It's getting worse by the hour
And you know that solution's getting complicated
And I can't believe how long I've waited
Can you get back to that other place
That we are now afraid to face
It's insanity
The concept and the fee
The lunatics are free
The nightmares in my dream
And it's inexcusable and unacceptable, out of character and incontestable
Poisonous, viscious and underhanded
And it surely can't be the way God planned it
And let's just admit that everything's random
And the riots that come, and then its hard to withstand them
It's totally insane
The concept and the fee
The lunatics are free
The nightmares in my dream
A time I live again
Is only pain in my head
And you can't let them take it if you're suicidal
And it's full of holes is only your rival
I need some recompense
It's just insanity
The concept and the fee
The lunatics are free
The nightmares in my dream
The jailers hands turn sour
It's getting worse by the hour
And you know that solution's getting complicated
And I can't believe how long I've waited
Can you get back to that other place
That we are now afraid to face
It's insanity
The concept and the fee
The lunatics are free
The nightmares in my dream
And it's inexcusable and unacceptable, out of character and incontestable
Poisonous, viscious and underhanded
And it surely can't be the way God planned it
And let's just admit that everything's random
And the riots that come, and then its hard to withstand them
It's totally insane
So Love May Find Us lyrics - The Church
I'm feeling uneasy
And I'm feeling weird
Everything's coming down the line
Exactly as I feared
And nobody helps me
And nobody knows
Nobody left in this city with its...
Its hits and its blows
And the first time the end appeared
I was skeptical like the rest
I marvelled as the markets fell
'Cause up till then I guess we've been blessed
First the water
And then the earth
And then the air, yeah
For all it was worth
The fire was subtle
It burned in your bones
It churned in your sea
And left you alone
It was then that I noticed the stars
Dismayed to see them look so old and red
I was hidden as the animals roared
Watched it all from inside your head
And nobody sees me
Now nobody cares
Nobody living in the city
With its graces and airs
The fire was icy
It burned in your veins
It turned in your wake
Shot up your brain
I'm feeling uncertain
I'm feeling exposed
I'm feeling there could be much, much more to this
Than I ever suppose
When I think about afterlife
I become so confused
I shiver when I think of my friend
And I think what's the use
Now we've gotta try, try, try
Gotta learn to say goodbye
Gotta spit right in your eye
And find some truth within this great lie
Feeling I'm injured
I'm feeling so raw
Like some childish imbecile
Like some crashing bore
The fire was distant
It burned without smoke
It learned to stand water
It stood up and spoke
Feeling uneasy
Feeling weird
Everything coming down the line
Exactly as I feared
In between the ether and the water line (I'm hearing voices, screams)
Down beside the engines as we ride and glide and churn inside (he didn't get you somewhere else)
And outside the reckless night, uncertainty delivered me (he wanted our spirits)
In between the cracks have all appeared (so that love may find us)
(Haven't seen her, should believe her, she'll be a living soul)
(Haven't seen her, should believe her, she'll be a living soul)
I don't want your spirit or your doubt
I don't want your deserts or your seas
I don't want the city or it's dreams
I just want to see you on your knees
And I'm feeling weird
Everything's coming down the line
Exactly as I feared
And nobody helps me
And nobody knows
Nobody left in this city with its...
Its hits and its blows
And the first time the end appeared
I was skeptical like the rest
I marvelled as the markets fell
'Cause up till then I guess we've been blessed
First the water
And then the earth
And then the air, yeah
For all it was worth
The fire was subtle
It burned in your bones
It churned in your sea
And left you alone
It was then that I noticed the stars
Dismayed to see them look so old and red
I was hidden as the animals roared
Watched it all from inside your head
And nobody sees me
Now nobody cares
Nobody living in the city
With its graces and airs
The fire was icy
It burned in your veins
It turned in your wake
Shot up your brain
I'm feeling uncertain
I'm feeling exposed
I'm feeling there could be much, much more to this
Than I ever suppose
When I think about afterlife
I become so confused
I shiver when I think of my friend
And I think what's the use
Now we've gotta try, try, try
Gotta learn to say goodbye
Gotta spit right in your eye
And find some truth within this great lie
Feeling I'm injured
I'm feeling so raw
Like some childish imbecile
Like some crashing bore

I don't want your spirit or your doubt
I don't want your deserts or your seas
I don't want the city or it's dreams
I just want to see you on your knees
Cobalt Blue lyrics - The Church
Desert wind in a telephone box
Dial my numbers up
Picks my locks
Picks his kind
To go and mingle in my mind
Here I am on the edge of every town
You read my fortunes up
You lead it down
Lead me to land
Let it run right through my hand
And its nothing
Nothing you could know
Let it go
Nothing really that you could know
Motel bar, the dirty sulky moon
Turn my head up
Let it all cocoon
Let it go
Nothing really we could know
And its nothing
Nothing you could know
Let it go
Nothing really that you could know
Dial my numbers up
Picks my locks
Picks his kind
To go and mingle in my mind
Here I am on the edge of every town
You read my fortunes up
You lead it down
Lead me to land
Let it run right through my hand
And its nothing
Nothing you could know
Let it go
Nothing really that you could know
Motel bar, the dirty sulky moon
Turn my head up
Let it all cocoon
Let it go
Nothing really we could know
And its nothing
Nothing you could know
Let it go
Nothing really that you could know
Deadman's Hand lyrics - The Church
On our way to crush the revolution
Camp by a lake in the blackened lands
Dealing out love and retribution
Dealing out the deadman's hand
We've all known the pain
And we're all gonna hurt again and again
Empire's got you by the balls
And sleep keeps awake for the tear
And it's calling you
Pulling you back here
On our way to crush a revolution
Lost in the caves of a used up place
Night comes down with all its implication
Something brushing against your face
And we've all known fear
And we're all gonna find more of it here
Empire's got you by the balls
And you wish that you never appeared
And it's pulling you
Pulling you back here
(Where are we)
(Where are you)
On the way to crush the revolution
Wilderness and its burning bush
The enemy seeks our dissolution
All he needs is a little push
And we've all known hurt
And we're all gonna find it here in this dirt
Empire's got you by the balls
And war keeps drawing near
And it's pulling you
Pulling you back here
Camp by a lake in the blackened lands
Dealing out love and retribution
Dealing out the deadman's hand
We've all known the pain
And we're all gonna hurt again and again
Empire's got you by the balls
And sleep keeps awake for the tear
And it's calling you
Pulling you back here
On our way to crush a revolution
Lost in the caves of a used up place
Night comes down with all its implication
Something brushing against your face
And we've all known fear
And we're all gonna find more of it here
Empire's got you by the balls
And you wish that you never appeared
And it's pulling you
Pulling you back here
(Where are we)
(Where are you)
On the way to crush the revolution
Wilderness and its burning bush
The enemy seeks our dissolution
All he needs is a little push
And we've all known hurt
And we're all gonna find it here in this dirt
Empire's got you by the balls
And war keeps drawing near
And it's pulling you
Pulling you back here
Pangaea lyrics - The Church
I got my hand on my heart
I got my heart on my mind (we've drifted apart)
I gotta jump on the clock
I gotta find me some time
Pangaea ahhh alright
Pangaea ahhh (gotta try so hard) together (gotta try so hard)
You got your hands 'round my throat
You got your voice in my head (no matter what)
You better jump on the clock
You better watch where you tread
Pangaea ahhh alright
Pangaea ahhh (gotta try so hard) together (gotta try so hard)
(gotta try so hard)
(gotta try so hard)
They got their rationales
They had their winning streaks (it's never enough)
They better jump on the clock
They better count up their weeks
Pangaea ahhh alright
Pangaea ahhh (gotta try so hard) together (gotta try so hard)
Pangaea ahhh (gotta find some time) ahhh (gotta find some time)
I got my heart on my mind (we've drifted apart)
I gotta jump on the clock
I gotta find me some time
Pangaea ahhh alright
Pangaea ahhh (gotta try so hard) together (gotta try so hard)
You got your hands 'round my throat
You got your voice in my head (no matter what)
You better jump on the clock
You better watch where you tread
Pangaea ahhh alright
Pangaea ahhh (gotta try so hard) together (gotta try so hard)
(gotta try so hard)
(gotta try so hard)
They got their rationales
They had their winning streaks (it's never enough)
They better jump on the clock
They better count up their weeks
Pangaea ahhh alright
Pangaea ahhh (gotta try so hard) together (gotta try so hard)
Pangaea ahhh (gotta find some time) ahhh (gotta find some time)
Happenstance lyrics - The Church
When the distant charge of love is felt
And the fruit is heavy on the vine
Rivers rushing as the snow it melts
I should take some time
Really make you mine
Happenstance
Such a charmer
Like an extinguished star
You're gone yet still remain
And you've taken it so far
Return to outer space
If I lay me beside you
Your golden hair frozen
Happenstance
Such a charmer
Close your eyes in the dark
And open up a door
You feel the energy arc
You're not here anymore
When the honeyed days of love return
And the king is drunk upon his throne
City's empty and the crystal burnt
I should take some space
Be with you some place
When the hopeless nights of love have gone
And the spirits are still within the trees
And we're running back to Albion
I should take some chance
Given happenstance
Happenstance
Such a charmer
And the fruit is heavy on the vine
Rivers rushing as the snow it melts
I should take some time
Really make you mine
Happenstance
Such a charmer
Like an extinguished star
You're gone yet still remain
And you've taken it so far
Return to outer space
If I lay me beside you
Your golden hair frozen
Happenstance
Such a charmer
Close your eyes in the dark
And open up a door
You feel the energy arc
You're not here anymore
When the honeyed days of love return
And the king is drunk upon his throne
City's empty and the crystal burnt
I should take some space
Be with you some place
When the hopeless nights of love have gone
And the spirits are still within the trees
And we're running back to Albion
I should take some chance
Given happenstance
Happenstance
Such a charmer
Space Saviour lyrics - The Church
My little lonely
She's my one and only
All the love just stone me
And I can't let it go
Like a siphon or straw
Something to adore
On the fatal flaw
And I can't let it go
Oh my little saviour
On her good behaviour
All the self she gave you
Now you can't let it go
Like a needle or tack
When she's giving you back
And the stages go black
And you can't let it go
And I gotta get up
And I gotta get on
And I gotta get off
And I gotta get out
And I gotta get up
And I gotta get on
And I gotta get off
And I can't let it go
My little heart
With a cosmic handshake
Hammer on till daybreak
I can't let it go
Like a Zorro or zealot
Bite it just too feel it
She gonna reveal it
Then you can't let it go
Oh my little wonder
Makes you stop to ponder
Makes me kind of fonder
I can't let it go
Like I live and I learn
Like a Chinese burn
Just wait till you turn
I can't let it go
I gotta get up
I gotta get on
I gotta get off
I gotta get out
I gotta get up
I gotta get on
I gotta get off
And I can't let it go
My little panda
I don't understand her
With her natural grandeur
I can't let it go
Like a trick or tornado
No she ain't afraid
Nothing gets delayed
And she won't let it go
My little golden
Her love and her holdin'
Only serves to embolden
And I can't let it go
Like a fraction or flake
I do it all for her sake
I do it all for her sake
Then I can't let it go, no, no
And I gotta get up
And I gotta get on
And I gotta get off
And I gotta get up
And I gotta get on
And I gotta get off
But I can't let it go
Can't let it go
It doesn't know
Cause I can't let it
I can't let it go
Baby don't say no
Can't let it go
I can't let it go
Can't let it go
She's my one and only
All the love just stone me
And I can't let it go
Like a siphon or straw
Something to adore
On the fatal flaw
And I can't let it go
Oh my little saviour
On her good behaviour
All the self she gave you
Now you can't let it go
Like a needle or tack
When she's giving you back
And the stages go black
And you can't let it go
And I gotta get up
And I gotta get on
And I gotta get off
And I gotta get out
And I gotta get up
And I gotta get on
And I gotta get off
And I can't let it go
My little heart
With a cosmic handshake
Hammer on till daybreak
I can't let it go
Like a Zorro or zealot
Bite it just too feel it
She gonna reveal it
Then you can't let it go
Oh my little wonder
Makes you stop to ponder
Makes me kind of fonder
I can't let it go
Like I live and I learn
Like a Chinese burn
Just wait till you turn
I can't let it go
I gotta get up
I gotta get on

I gotta get out
I gotta get up
I gotta get on
I gotta get off
And I can't let it go
My little panda
I don't understand her
With her natural grandeur
I can't let it go

No she ain't afraid
Nothing gets delayed
And she won't let it go
My little golden
Her love and her holdin'
Only serves to embolden
And I can't let it go

I do it all for her sake
Then I can't let it go, no, no

And I gotta get off
But I can't let it go
Can't let it go
It doesn't know
Cause I can't let it
I can't let it go
Baby don't say no
Can't let it go
I can't let it go
Can't let it go
On Angel Street lyrics - The Church
Sunday disappears into a fog
Darkness invites us all inside
To hide amongst the lamplight radial glow
Shadow in the pool
Winter in the wind
A message in the fallen leaves
Cruise down to the plaza in your Merc
Never really know how or where to go
Blow me down you're outside a bank on Angel Street
I arrive but never leave
You leave but never stay
It kind of reminds me of the salad days
I saw your brother during lunch
I saw at once that he was lost and he was mad
He had been standing in the rain to get some snow
But the snow it couldn't fall
The people all go home
And he just kind of stood there helplessly
You should change the message on your machine
So sad, so strange baby to hear my name
Makes me cry when you say we're not at home
And the line it just goes dead
And the trail it just goes cold
I guess that story's told anyway
Darkness invites us all inside
To hide amongst the lamplight radial glow
Shadow in the pool
Winter in the wind
A message in the fallen leaves
Cruise down to the plaza in your Merc
Never really know how or where to go
Blow me down you're outside a bank on Angel Street
I arrive but never leave
You leave but never stay
It kind of reminds me of the salad days
I saw your brother during lunch
I saw at once that he was lost and he was mad
He had been standing in the rain to get some snow
But the snow it couldn't fall
The people all go home
And he just kind of stood there helplessly
You should change the message on your machine
So sad, so strange baby to hear my name
Makes me cry when you say we're not at home
And the line it just goes dead
And the trail it just goes cold
I guess that story's told anyway
Sunken Sun lyrics - The Church
I drowned in a river that had run dry
I drank a sea of gold
I shivered like a stone in the great unknown
Oh, not unknown but just untold
I dreamed I saw the Minotaur
I dreamed I was his twin
It seemed I tore some kind of door
Because now he can get right back in
And I don't wanna talk about it anymore
And if I have to do it again I'll give you what for
I watched the sullen sun shrink
And the levee run out of steam
Eternity loomed in my garret room
I saw you once in some kind of dream
I had a girl in the underworld
She was a spirited little thing
She was so cute, oh, you shoulda seen Pluto
She opened up her heart to sing
And I don't want to talk about it anymore
And if I had to do it again I'll give you what for
I ripped up my return ticket
I hurled it into the sky
I knelt down, I kissed the ground
I knew then it was your turn to fly
I drank a sea of gold
I shivered like a stone in the great unknown
Oh, not unknown but just untold
I dreamed I saw the Minotaur
I dreamed I was his twin
It seemed I tore some kind of door
Because now he can get right back in
And I don't wanna talk about it anymore
And if I have to do it again I'll give you what for
I watched the sullen sun shrink
And the levee run out of steam
Eternity loomed in my garret room
I saw you once in some kind of dream
I had a girl in the underworld
She was a spirited little thing
She was so cute, oh, you shoulda seen Pluto
She opened up her heart to sing
And I don't want to talk about it anymore
And if I had to do it again I'll give you what for
I ripped up my return ticket
I hurled it into the sky
I knelt down, I kissed the ground
I knew then it was your turn to fly
Anchorage lyrics - The Church
Scales of an angel
Wings of a snake
Living here in the future
With the racket that you make
Memory of a scream
Heart of the flame
Talking in a lark's tongue
And more of the same
Green ice is on the melt
Just the way the dead have felt
Nothing like the way my name is spelt
But I belt it out anyway
Darkness returning
My torch keeps on burning for you
In the life you keep on spurning
Everything is hurting me
Mouth of a river
The fingers of a flute
The trees get used for rifles
Growing lovely shoots
Around the captain's table
The silent diners slept
In the white of morning
The distance slowly crept
And the ice in my glass
And the hit of the past
And the great icy blast
I pass it on to you
Darkness returning
My torch keeps on burning for you
In the life you keep on spurning
Everything is hurting me
'thing is hurting me
Words of a mute
The passion of a rock
Waking early on an Easter Sunday
Just before the cock
The motion of a statue
The honour of a rat
The street was almost empty
But then you saw through that
And the ice in the box
Falling off the shelf in blocks
Down at the docks
Well I was shocked not to be discovered
Darkness returning
My torch keeps on burning for you
In the life you keep on spurning
Everything is hurting me
Strength of a lamb
The shape of a cloud
The eyes of the star
Cruelty of a crowd
This afternoon is crushing down
The bars are all closed today lady
Middle of town is a long way down
I'd hate to see you break your crown
And the ice in my drink
My drink in your lap
Just a process in a trap
I'll slap it out of you
Slap it out of you
Music of the snow
Tempts the flake
Nature, you don't know
A nice delicious ache
The conscience of a fox
Love about the size of a shoe box
The school of hard knocks
They box it out of me
The ice in my throat
A message in the note
Just like a sinking boat
You coat yourself with sympathy
Darkness returning
My torch keeps on burning for you
In the life you keep on spurning
Everything is hurting me 'thing is hurting me
Wings of a snake
Living here in the future
With the racket that you make
Memory of a scream
Heart of the flame
Talking in a lark's tongue
And more of the same
Green ice is on the melt
Just the way the dead have felt
Nothing like the way my name is spelt
But I belt it out anyway
Darkness returning
My torch keeps on burning for you
In the life you keep on spurning
Everything is hurting me
Mouth of a river
The fingers of a flute
The trees get used for rifles
Growing lovely shoots
Around the captain's table
The silent diners slept
In the white of morning
The distance slowly crept
And the ice in my glass
And the hit of the past
And the great icy blast
I pass it on to you
Darkness returning
My torch keeps on burning for you
In the life you keep on spurning

'thing is hurting me

Lunar lyrics - The Church
All that it was was a fine-toothed comb
Only in on the night
All that it was was just one pound of flesh
And you didn't get it right
All that it was was a cannibal buzz
Leading you on, day on day
All that it means was in old Paris scenes
An old, sour Beaujolais
All that it wore was a little brittle slip
Drooping right over my head
All that it says is there's nothing left to bless
All that it said is it's dead
Only in on the night
All that it was was just one pound of flesh
And you didn't get it right
All that it was was a cannibal buzz
Leading you on, day on day
All that it means was in old Paris scenes
An old, sour Beaujolais
All that it wore was a little brittle slip
Drooping right over my head
All that it says is there's nothing left to bless
All that it said is it's dead
Duncan And Mary lyrics - The Church
Mmmm...
Mmmm...
The white of her beneath the white
And in my thoughts
Where I can enslave everyone and everything
I cross the space between our bodies
I place my mouth upon her breast
She expresses neither surprise nor shock
But only sucks in her breath
Moans
Slowly places her soft hands behind my head
Drawing me into her
Her hands so cool on my hair
Her body soft soft soft soft
I think I'm going mad
Mmmm...
The white of her beneath the white
And in my thoughts
Where I can enslave everyone and everything
I cross the space between our bodies
I place my mouth upon her breast
She expresses neither surprise nor shock
But only sucks in her breath
Moans
Slowly places her soft hands behind my head
Drawing me into her
Her hands so cool on my hair
Her body soft soft soft soft
I think I'm going mad
Even The Flies Have Eyes lyrics - The Church
(Even the flies have eyes) Janice [repeated several times]
The Gray Caps lyrics - The Church
"Do you think she can see us from in there?"
"Naw-she's busy."
"She's deep in thought, she is-but what could she be thinking about?"
"How long's she been in there?"
"Seven days. I bring her food and drink. I take it out again. She's got enough paper in there to last another week."
"Wasn't her brother the mad historian who went digging into the secrets of the gray caps? Didn't he go under the city?"
"He's there now, some say, along with the snails and the cursed gray caps."
"What's she do then?"
[?]
"What could she be typing so furiously?"
"The story of your life. A history of pubs and bars. How should I know."
"Whatever it is, it must be important. To her."
"Funny. That typewriter's like an echo. It falls away when we stop talking."
"Yes, yes it does! Do you think she's...?"
"Naw-I must be wrong. Hasn't got anything to do with us. Hasn't got anything to do with us."
"Naw-she's busy."
"She's deep in thought, she is-but what could she be thinking about?"
"How long's she been in there?"
"Seven days. I bring her food and drink. I take it out again. She's got enough paper in there to last another week."

Ambergris lyrics - The Church
Dare I deprive the reader of that first glimpse of Ambergris? That first teasing glimpse during the carriage ride from the docks? That glimpse, and then the sprawl of Albumuth Boulevard, half staid brick, half lacquered timber? The dirt of it, the stench of it, half perfume, half ribald rot. And another smell underneath it-[Coughs]-the tantalizing scent of fungi, of fruiting bodies, of spores entangled with dust and air, spiraling down like snow. [Violently coughs] The cries of the vendors, the cries of the newly robbed, or the newly robed. The first contact of shoe on street out of the carriage-the resounding solidity of that ground, and the humming vibration of coiled energy beneath the pavement, conveyed up through shoe into foot, from foot into the rest of the body suddenly energized and woken up. The sudden hint of heat to the air-the possibilities! [Maniacal laughter]-and, peeking out from the storm drains, from the alleyways, the enticing, lingering darkness that spoke of tunnels and sudden exploration. One cannot mention our move to Ambergris without setting that scene, surely! That boulevard became our touchstone, in those early years, as it had to countless people before us. It was how you traveled into Ambergris, and it was how you carried them out when you were finally left.
But as fascinated as Duncan would become with Ambergris, he went elsewhere for his education. At our mother's insistence, in one of her few direct acts of parenting. Duncan received his advanced degrees in history from the Institute of Religiosity in Morrow [or as the historians call it, "that other city by the River Moth," a good hundred miles from Ambergris] Hooo-ahhh! Yeah! Hoo-hoo-hooaaahhhh! Yeah! No, no, no, no, no....
Duncan devoted one dark, ripe little corner to the "changing facade of Ambergris," as he called it. At first, this corner consisted only of overlapping street plans, as if he were building an image of the city from its bones. The stark white paper, the midnight black veins of ink, contrasted sharply with everything else in his rooms. [Maniacal laughter] No, no, no, no, no....

My Love, Last Night lyrics- The Church
My love, last night was wonderful. I've never talked to anyone the way I've talked to you. You teach me so much. You make me understand things so well. You make me feel I'm floating on a cloud, on a star, so light do you make me feel. Until next time, sorrowful and sick. I will not sign this letter, in case it is discovered, you know who I am. You know who I am, my love.
Your skin is so smooth I want to lick it all day long. Your body makes me hum with pleasure. Your hair, your breasts, your small hands, your ears, as delicate as the most delicate of fungi, your strong thighs, your elbows, your eyes, your kneecaps, even! I want all of you, again and again.

Incident On Bannerville lyrics
We were on a street called Bannerville. I remember that. Huh. The streetlights were bare of the terrible burden of death. Yeah. Some of them work. They glowed green. At the end of Bannerville, we'd turn to the right and we'd be a block away from the Truffidian Cathedral.
A strange surge of joy or recognition overtook us, all out of proportion to our reality. We began to run, to laugh, abandoning our shuffle through the shadows; with safety so close, it was agony to walk slowly. The worst seemed past. It really did. I was already thinking about what I'd say to Bonmot. I was already thinking about that, Truff help me.
And Sybel had been holding my hand. He was a little behind me at this point. We were almost at the end of Bannerville, not more than twenty feet from safety. Overhead, a street lamp flickered free of the green glow that pervaded the rest of the city.
And we were both about to turn the corner. I could hear Sybel's heavy breathing as he ran. Then I heard an unfamiliar sound-a sound trapped between a gasp and a moan-and when I turned and looked at Sybel, all I could see was a mist of blood, floating out in streamers. I stopped running and stared. I couldn't breathe for a second. Nothing of him was left-not even his shoes, man. Nothing at all. His dissolution was complete and utter. There was such a final terrible beauty to it. I thought it must be an absurd magic trick, a horrible joke. But it wasn't, and the laughter caught in my throat and became a sob. Yeah, laughter caught in my throat and became a sob. Yeah.
(The closer I get to the end)
(The closer I get to the end)
(The closer I get to the end)
The closer I get to the beginning
(The closer I get to the end)
(The closer I get to the end)
The closer I get to the beginning
(The closer I get to the end)
(The closer I get to the end)
The closer I get to the beginning

A Tale For You lyrics - The Church
Here's a tale for you
Once upon a time
A woman decided to tell a story about how she tried to kill herself
Her brother saved her
At the last second
And then sent her north to be dissected by various disciples of empirical religions, yeah
Until one day
Until one day
Until one day
Until one day
She escaped
Ah, she escaped
Once upon a time
A woman decided to tell a story about how she tried to kill herself
Her brother saved her
At the last second
And then sent her north to be dissected by various disciples of empirical religions, yeah
Until one day
Until one day
Until one day
Until one day
She escaped
Ah, she escaped
Dream Of Edward lyrics - The Church
Whoa...
I've-I fell asleep for a while. I couldn't help it.
I've been pushing myself to the end even faster, taking fewer breaks.
I dreamt while I slept. Edward was in my dream.
Neither of us had really ever left the insane asylum.
We just sat there in matching straitjackets in uncomfortable chairs, facing each other.
We were surrounded by huge orange-red-and-black mushrooms.
The sight of their amber gills above us, slowly breathing in and out in a sussurating mimicry of conscious life, was strangely calming to me.
"Where have you gone?" I asked him.
"Underground," he said.
"What did you find there?" I asked.
"Acceptance, everlasting life, and mushrooms," he said, and smiled.
It was a lovely smile. It radiated outwards to suffuse his entire face in a golden light.
"Is that all?" I said. "Was it worth it? Did you have to give up anything?"
"My fear. My consciousness. My former life."
"What was that like?"
"Do you remember those trust exercises they made us do? Where one of us would fall into the arms of the others, and you just had to fall and keep falling and believe they would catch you?"
"It was like that?"
"It was like that. Except imagine falling for a hundred years before you're caught, looking at a black sky full of dead stars in front of you, and the abyss at your back."
"You're dead," I said. It wasn't an accusation.
"Probably," he replied.

The Aan Tribal War lyrics - The Church
She stumbled
Caught herself
Blinked twice
Stopped screaming
But no
She was still screaming
It was just soundless
A look had come over her
Destroyed unity
Between mouth, eyes, forehead, cheekbones
Before me she became undone
Looking through those glasses
She fell to her knees
Now grappling
They didn't want to come off
She still couldn't close her eyes
She still couldn't close her eyes
She still couldn't close her eyes
She still couldn't close her eyes
Caught herself
Blinked twice
Stopped screaming
But no
She was still screaming
It was just soundless
A look had come over her
Destroyed unity
Between mouth, eyes, forehead, cheekbones
Before me she became undone
Looking through those glasses
She fell to her knees
Now grappling
They didn't want to come off
She still couldn't close her eyes
She still couldn't close her eyes
She still couldn't close her eyes
She still couldn't close her eyes
Block lyrics - The Church
I was down in the city on a miracle street
I flailed like a swimmer through the summer heat
I was waiting for a friend that I needed to meet
And I's hopin' she was bringin' with her something sweet
And I's hopin' for an open little opening
And I suffer for a groovy little happening
But it's all going wrong just like I sing in that song
The song I wrote about you that they put on TV
The TV that I gave you 'cause you wanted to see
But all you saw were spaces where the people used to be
The hundred bastard voids with their pull on me
In the valley of death you'll be breathless and free
You'll be dancing like a fool by the swollen sea
You'll be twitching like a drunk in a pharmacy
You'll be swatting at the flies in the pavillion
Where the millionare just blew a gazillion
Fingernails are all hot vermillion
When the traffic grinds down to a standstill(ion)
And the mynah birds are pecking at the carrion
And you read it already in Hyperion
And you read about my trial in the Clarion
A sack full of ashes I've been carrying
When the lights turn green I dissolve the screen
When the lights turn red I put the whole thing to bed
Well I got a fever
And I'm feeling fainter
I'm a dim receiver
I'm a Cold War painter
If you can just hold still
I will make you all so beautiful
When the lights turn blue I know what to do
I'll drown my tomorrows in an ocean or two
And the pretty little things with their magnets and rings
Blooming like a flower through a series of springs
Thank you Fate and the freight that she brings
Thank you Fortuna and the song that she sings
Thank you to my manager for letting me live
Thank you to my friends and the friends that you're with
Thank you to the Lord who created all this
There's a whole lotta hurt before you get to the bliss
Why even Jesus Christ was betrayed by a kiss
But that was long before that he got in show biz
Well I understand the land and the land ain't no sea
But when I try to walk I'm sinking you see
So I got a fever
And I'm feeling fainter
I'm a dim receiver
I'm a Cold War painter
If you can just hold still
I will make you all so beautiful
I flailed like a swimmer through the summer heat
I was waiting for a friend that I needed to meet
And I's hopin' she was bringin' with her something sweet
And I's hopin' for an open little opening
And I suffer for a groovy little happening
But it's all going wrong just like I sing in that song
The song I wrote about you that they put on TV
The TV that I gave you 'cause you wanted to see
But all you saw were spaces where the people used to be
The hundred bastard voids with their pull on me
In the valley of death you'll be breathless and free
You'll be dancing like a fool by the swollen sea
You'll be twitching like a drunk in a pharmacy

Unified Field lyrics - The Church
Your money is so pretty
It's too beautiful to spend
Evening is so magical
Too elaborate to end
The air here is so sweet
It's much too pure to breathe
It's already over
I don't want to leave
Unified field
No one here is gonna yield
No one here you've seen before
Magnetic strip
Pull me further in its grip
No one here you can't adore
Your scenery is unusual
It's too elusive for me to view
Your food is just delicious
But I can't eat it like you do
Darkness all around us
It's the only thing I see
The music is so sacred
It can never get me free
Unified field
No one here is gonna yield
No one here you've seen before
Magnetic strip
Pull me further in its grip
No one here you can't adore
Your energy exhausts me
It drives you like a lash
Your enthusiasm's contagious
Covers me like a rash
Your gravity supports me
It guides me through the crash
Unified field
No one here is gonna yield
No one here you've seen before
Magnetic strip
Pull me further in its grip
No one here you can't adore
It's too beautiful to spend
Evening is so magical
Too elaborate to end
The air here is so sweet
It's much too pure to breathe
It's already over
I don't want to leave
Unified field
No one here is gonna yield
No one here you've seen before
Magnetic strip
Pull me further in its grip
No one here you can't adore
Your scenery is unusual
It's too elusive for me to view
Your food is just delicious
But I can't eat it like you do
Darkness all around us
It's the only thing I see
The music is so sacred
It can never get me free
Unified field
No one here is gonna yield
No one here you've seen before
Magnetic strip
Pull me further in its grip
No one here you can't adore
Your energy exhausts me
It drives you like a lash
Your enthusiasm's contagious
Covers me like a rash
Your gravity supports me
It guides me through the crash

Space Needle lyrics - The Church
Getting kinda greedy, need a space needle
Stick it straight through the crust
Suck up all the magma, put it in a bagma
And blow it through your brains till you bust
Where oblivion is beckoning
Where leviathan is reckoning
Getting kinda famished with all this talk of famine
I can't survive on bread alone
Give me space needle so I don't whine or wheedle
I need these planets close to my bone
Where oblivion is beckoning
Where leviathan is reckoning
Getting kinda nervous the way your lips is curvous
It's a mystery to me we don't fall
Where's my space needle, I want a little treacle
I want to wish good luck to you all
Where oblivion is beckoning
Where leviathan is reckoning
Stick it straight through the crust
Suck up all the magma, put it in a bagma
And blow it through your brains till you bust
Where oblivion is beckoning
Where leviathan is reckoning
Getting kinda famished with all this talk of famine
I can't survive on bread alone
Give me space needle so I don't whine or wheedle
I need these planets close to my bone
Where oblivion is beckoning
Where leviathan is reckoning
Getting kinda nervous the way your lips is curvous
It's a mystery to me we don't fall
Where's my space needle, I want a little treacle
I want to wish good luck to you all
Where oblivion is beckoning
Where leviathan is reckoning
Overview lyrics - The Church
Listen
Can you even imagine how this all went wrong
Was supposed to be good trip
We're all supposed to feel like we belong
Don't pitch me the script
I've got a suggestion for the end of it
Don't beat up your computer, don't downplay your soul
Don't find it wanting when you've lost control
Just like the stories they tell ya
Just like the tripe that they sell ya
Just like the damned you say 'hell yeah'
Watch out
You can never be certain if anyone is really a friend
This could be such a sweet thing
We all should be leaving in the end
Your network's gone down
No one can connect you up in this town
You scoped out a slot, you scooped out a niche
You're strutting along on the end of a leash
Just like the stories they tell ya
Just like the tripe that they sell ya
Just like the damned you say 'hell yeah'
Help me
Can't find my way back
I feel like I'm already off the map
This should have been such a pleasure
I thought it would all fall right in my lap
Conversing with cash
You've cashed all your chips
You fished out my sea, see
You dropped all the drips
Just like the stories they tell ya
Just like the tripe that they sell ya
Just like the damned you say 'hell yeah'
Can you even imagine how this all went wrong
Was supposed to be good trip
We're all supposed to feel like we belong
Don't pitch me the script
I've got a suggestion for the end of it
Don't beat up your computer, don't downplay your soul
Don't find it wanting when you've lost control
Just like the stories they tell ya
Just like the tripe that they sell ya
Just like the damned you say 'hell yeah'
Watch out
You can never be certain if anyone is really a friend
This could be such a sweet thing
We all should be leaving in the end
Your network's gone down
No one can connect you up in this town
You scoped out a slot, you scooped out a niche
You're strutting along on the end of a leash
Just like the stories they tell ya
Just like the tripe that they sell ya
Just like the damned you say 'hell yeah'
Help me
Can't find my way back
I feel like I'm already off the map
This should have been such a pleasure
I thought it would all fall right in my lap
Conversing with cash
You've cashed all your chips
You fished out my sea, see
You dropped all the drips
Just like the stories they tell ya
Just like the tripe that they sell ya
Just like the damned you say 'hell yeah'
Easy lyrics - The Church
Any day now you'll see me coming rambling down your street at night
In the broad moonlight
Underneath the blooming trees a seasons greeting's beating up the shore
So open up your door
Easy baby
You don't have to say a word
Easy now
You don't have to do a thing
You'll protect me with your arts and it all starts again surrounding me
Inevitably
Hiding in your haven, maybe stark and maybe raving, completely sane
It's just so plain arcane
Easy baby
You don't have to act so hard
Easy now
You don't have to be like that
Any day now you'll hear me ringing, hear me singing down the line
Or just in your mind
You'll embrace me, turn to face me, try to replace me, it will be too late
Now that's all I'll say
Easy baby
It's so hard to walk away
Easy now
You don't have to end like this
In the broad moonlight
Underneath the blooming trees a seasons greeting's beating up the shore
So open up your door
Easy baby
You don't have to say a word
Easy now
You don't have to do a thing
You'll protect me with your arts and it all starts again surrounding me
Inevitably
Hiding in your haven, maybe stark and maybe raving, completely sane
It's just so plain arcane
Easy baby
You don't have to act so hard
Easy now
You don't have to be like that
Any day now you'll hear me ringing, hear me singing down the line
Or just in your mind
You'll embrace me, turn to face me, try to replace me, it will be too late
Now that's all I'll say
Easy baby
It's so hard to walk away
Easy now
You don't have to end like this
She'll Come Back For You Tomorrow lyrics - The Church
Tremblin' the winter comes, penetrates the room
Sits beside you, takes hold of your hand
And the glances that she gives you
As your body turns to stone
And you shatter into pieces
As she leaves you all alone
She'll hypnotise you, make you follow
Or she'll come back for you tomorrow
And she's smiling and she's vicious
And she's sour and delicious
Can't ignore her or resist her
Try to leave her and I missed her
She'll hypnotise you, make you follow
Or she'll come back for you tomorrow
The sphere of life that glows and twists entices you to fall
Grants your wishes then takes them all away
And it crushes and it squeezes
Breaks the spirit, kills the soul
And it does just as it pleases
Did you hurry it to the hole
She'll hypnotise you, make you follow
Or she'll come back for you tomorrow
She'll come back for you tomorrow
Or she'll come back for you tomorrow
She'll come back for you tomorrow
Sits beside you, takes hold of your hand
And the glances that she gives you
As your body turns to stone
And you shatter into pieces
As she leaves you all alone
She'll hypnotise you, make you follow
Or she'll come back for you tomorrow
And she's smiling and she's vicious
And she's sour and delicious
Can't ignore her or resist her
Try to leave her and I missed her
She'll hypnotise you, make you follow
Or she'll come back for you tomorrow
The sphere of life that glows and twists entices you to fall
Grants your wishes then takes them all away
And it crushes and it squeezes
Breaks the spirit, kills the soul
And it does just as it pleases
Did you hurry it to the hole
She'll hypnotise you, make you follow
Or she'll come back for you tomorrow
She'll come back for you tomorrow
Or she'll come back for you tomorrow
She'll come back for you tomorrow
Pure Chance lyrics - The Church
What chance of meeting
So far out here
As if repeating
What's never clear
The verdant meadows
The smoky coil
The air and ether
The boiling soil
I read your novel
The names were switched
I heard you travel
You must be rich
Those distant cities
Are safe and warm
Within their walls
Of chloroform
Home
It's so far away now
Pure chance
It's so far
It's so far away now
My wife was warm
But the water was cold
And she was young
And the ocean was old
There were voices singing from under the sea
As I followed them down I felt them drowning me
What chance of meeting
So long ago
Just for a fleeting...
Ah, well you know
How unintentional
A random whim
Coincidental
A shallow thing
Home
It's so far away now
Pure chance
It's so far
It's so far away now
My wife was soft
The mountain was hard
Her skin was smooth
The rocks were scarred
There were voices singing above in the sky
As I followed them up I was prepared to die
So far out here
As if repeating
What's never clear
The verdant meadows
The smoky coil
The air and ether
The boiling soil
I read your novel
The names were switched
I heard you travel
You must be rich
Those distant cities
Are safe and warm
Within their walls
Of chloroform
Home
It's so far away now
Pure chance
It's so far
It's so far away now
My wife was warm
But the water was cold
And she was young
And the ocean was old
There were voices singing from under the sea
As I followed them down I felt them drowning me
What chance of meeting
So long ago
Just for a fleeting...
Ah, well you know
How unintentional
A random whim
Coincidental
A shallow thing
Home
It's so far away now
Pure chance
It's so far
It's so far away now
My wife was soft
The mountain was hard
Her skin was smooth
The rocks were scarred
There were voices singing above in the sky
As I followed them up I was prepared to die
Never Before lyrics - The Church
The streets are paved with money
Where nothing's ever sold
Rain falls while it's sunny
And sights worth more than gold
The fires alive are burning
To warm those in the fold
Like never before
Like never before
Like never before
With a portal left to be tried
And find you're not denied
Even filmed in grey at a matinee
It's like never before
Daybreak's a sign for many
Whose work is not in vain
Worth less without any
But measured not by gain
A game that all are winning
As they're guided down destiny lane
Like never before
Like never before
Like never before
With a portal left to be tried
And find you're not denied
Even filmed in grey at a matinee
It's like never before
A night pierced with stars
Like never before (never before)
And time wears the scars
Like never before (never before)
The song's sad melody
Like never before (never before)
And pain's just a memory
Like never before (never before)
Where nothing's ever sold
Rain falls while it's sunny
And sights worth more than gold
The fires alive are burning
To warm those in the fold
Like never before
Like never before
Like never before
With a portal left to be tried
And find you're not denied
Even filmed in grey at a matinee
It's like never before
Daybreak's a sign for many
Whose work is not in vain
Worth less without any
But measured not by gain
A game that all are winning
As they're guided down destiny lane
Like never before
Like never before
Like never before
With a portal left to be tried
And find you're not denied
Even filmed in grey at a matinee
It's like never before
A night pierced with stars
Like never before (never before)
And time wears the scars
Like never before (never before)
The song's sad melody
Like never before (never before)
And pain's just a memory
Like never before (never before)
Real Toggle Action lyrics - The Church
I wish that you could see yourself
I wish that you could be yourself
The things you try to do
They never benefit you
I wish that you could free yourself
You never stop to wonder why (oh no)
You're not a curious kind of guy
You got the deep space blues
You ought to change, here's a fuse
You're only happy when you're high
(High, high, high, high, be high, high)
I hoped that you could let it go
I hoped that you would come to know
We're actors in a play
Not even our own lines that we say
It's just that it's that kind of show
(High, high, high, high, be high, high)
[plus some melodic chanting]
I wish that you could be yourself
The things you try to do
They never benefit you
I wish that you could free yourself
You never stop to wonder why (oh no)
You're not a curious kind of guy
You got the deep space blues
You ought to change, here's a fuse
You're only happy when you're high
(High, high, high, high, be high, high)
I hoped that you could let it go
I hoped that you would come to know
We're actors in a play
Not even our own lines that we say
It's just that it's that kind of show

Untoward lyrics - The Church
(How low)
It's further than you think so you better not let go
(Oh no)
It's better than you thought so you better take it slow, or it'll
(Un-go)
Go away from yourself well I oughta know, and I say
(Oh no)
It's further than you think so you better not let go
(Off and on)
(Mer)curial breakthrough
(Off and on)
Cold parable
(Off and on)
Coordinates locked in
(Off and on)
Journey begun
(Somehow)
I hope you get a ride 'cause it's too late for me now, so I
(Cow tow)
To any little despot with a crown upon his brow, and they
(Know how)
That's the kind of energy that nature can endow
(Off and on)
Metaphysical check-up
(Off and on)
Making them king
(Off and on)
Lifespan extensions
(Off and on)
Forever livin'
(One day)
One day I'm gonna change and I'll arrange it all my way
(One day)
One day I'll just ascend and they'll pretend I went away
(Off and on)
Natural science
(Off and on)
So you still wait
(Off and on)
Jump into neutral
(Off and on)
White spirit gate
(Off and on)
(Off and on)
It's further than you think so you better not let go
(Oh no)
It's better than you thought so you better take it slow, or it'll
(Un-go)
Go away from yourself well I oughta know, and I say
(Oh no)
It's further than you think so you better not let go
(Off and on)
(Mer)curial breakthrough
(Off and on)

Day 5 lyrics - The Church
Eventually
We came to a chasm dark and wide
And drifted in silence through endless anemones
In shallow dreams
Life was beginning to take a shape
Water was warm as it hastened our enemies
This kind of world will start a little colony
This kind of earth will eat a little energy
This kind of thing needs a little secrecy
After thousands of years
Our priests have predicted you would come
You with your death that appears in no photograph
You watch the night sky
We bickered like fools amongst ourselves
We sought protection in artificial youth
This kind of world will start a little colony
This kind of earth will eat a little energy
This kind of thing needs a little secrecy
This kind of thing needs a little secrecy
This kind of thing needs a little secrecy
This kind of thing needs a little secrecy
In a sickening jump
I fell through the surface of my life
And I was cut back by the hollow comraderie
The planet was still
Nothing moved as it slept in space
I pulled on my suit and exited quietly
We came to a chasm dark and wide
And drifted in silence through endless anemones
In shallow dreams
Life was beginning to take a shape
Water was warm as it hastened our enemies
This kind of world will start a little colony
This kind of earth will eat a little energy
This kind of thing needs a little secrecy
After thousands of years
Our priests have predicted you would come
You with your death that appears in no photograph
You watch the night sky
We bickered like fools amongst ourselves
We sought protection in artificial youth
This kind of world will start a little colony
This kind of earth will eat a little energy
This kind of thing needs a little secrecy
This kind of thing needs a little secrecy
This kind of thing needs a little secrecy
This kind of thing needs a little secrecy
In a sickening jump
I fell through the surface of my life
And I was cut back by the hollow comraderie
The planet was still
Nothing moved as it slept in space
I pulled on my suit and exited quietly
Song To Go... lyrics - The Church
I said he-hi
I said hello
I said a-where'd you want this little
Song to go....
I started singing
Made up some words
I sang it like a sonnet
I sang it for the birds
I sang about the distance
I sang about the time
I introduced some chaos
And tried to make it rhyme
I hope somebody listened
And heard another world
Pure haze on the better words, they were
Catching a song
A song about the fountain
A song about a day
About a song about a modern day
With a little delay
I said goodbye
I said hold on
Where did you want that little
Song to go...
I said hello
I said a-where'd you want this little
Song to go....
I started singing
Made up some words
I sang it like a sonnet
I sang it for the birds
I sang about the distance
I sang about the time
I introduced some chaos
And tried to make it rhyme
I hope somebody listened
And heard another world
Pure haze on the better words, they were
Catching a song
A song about the fountain
A song about a day
About a song about a modern day
With a little delay
I said goodbye
I said hold on
Where did you want that little
Song to go...
