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]
