Stranger... stranger than you
stranger... it's true
Bigger better than you
Shinier brighter it's true
He said
I'm a star
shining bright
he's right
Blackened... blackened and blue
I don't know what to do
he said hey see you soon
He said
I'm a star
shining bright
he's right
right
right
right on
Night falling down
night falling down
stars smear your face
night falling down
night falling down
stars smear your face
I've got a pocketful of dreams
anybody can see
This is good-bye
Night falling down
stars smear your face
I've got a pocketful of shame
everybody's insane
This is good-bye
She sang
she moved
she was the sea
covering light
deadening sound
she's in me
and when you come
to kiss me
you'll meet her
and you'll fall
in the sea
Selena came into the window
wax and waning joy and sorrow
gathered songs of oceans covered
in all her gravity
Selena called to her lover
what you love is what you smother
danced a fearless final gesture
spoke the final word
So into the night she wandered
underneath a silver cover
she slipped deep into the sea
calling silently
I the keeper of the flower
dream its dream and timeless hour
plant it deep and in the marrow
of my bones
Char's "Rap":
This here flower
lost her power
in 3 dayz
the petals will shower
on the ground
are the round
tiny purple petals
I have found
in my hand they melt fast
'tho they're supposed to long last
far into the future for others to know
and when you have fallen and yer-a-callin'
think of those petals
and pray
Cause this here flower
that lost her power
shed for me
in time of the hour
half past three
she bled for me
tiny crystal teardrops
I can see
people take a look quick
'cause she is so sick
of hearts and souls in poverty
now the petals have fallen
and I come-a-crawlin'
to what I thought she said to me
Huge Blue Gum Tree
wild night wind
says to you and me
flay your skin
You could never know
what is inside me
you could never
understand
Snow come and cover me
heavy falling sea
of white criss-cross to
do my undone
Like an angel flying higher
wrapped around my heart
never really flying high enough
you miss the mark
Desperation is upon me
wrapped around my head
making me so crazy
making me dead
High low
who do you see
I can be so hungry
I can be so low
it's so ugly here on the floor
I want you to know
We are wandering in the half-light
pulled by fear and hatred blinded
cut by child's eyes they remind us
we are stumbling in the half-light
Your aim is true to my heart
how will I scrape you from my skin
you stained the very deepest part
I'm following following you in
Times have not changed nor our nature
from innocent to slayer
I do bless you for your strange grace
blinded by the light of your face
Oh my love oh my inamorata heavy as a bird and bowed in sorrow saw her and my eyes they filled with tears saw her in the wreckage of her years He is hungry as a ragged beggar all he has will soon be gone forever all he has is what you cannot see he gives everything he has to me Tiny little fingers count the hours take a hammmer shatter all the flowers waiting for the time the time is here as you move away I hold you near
Why are we here
have another beer
relax and fear
nothing
Oh shining eyes
gaze up and sigh
never know why
you're here
Hungry
lonely
A shining star
is what you are
sinking down
far
Oh starry eyes
stained through with lies
shine on but turn
inside
Hungry
lonely
are you
holding tightly
why
Mysterious my love lust to lust dust to dust Why lie why am I so scared I want to lay you down push you to the ground I don't mind I don't care
You wrote a letter to me sealed with a kiss about how happy you were that I changed Dirty old dog you are I guess I made a mistake I'll push you out in the rain you'll never see me again Water can't wash you clean We are creatures standing apart
Blood and the sun pour out of your hand into the ground blood and the sun pour out of your hand In the city no one dares to look into your eyes in the city no one dares to look Blood and the sun pour from your hand to the mouths of hunger crazed
The lyrics of "Huge Blue Gum Tree"- inspired by the book Owls Do Cry by Janet Frame.
