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.
