LYRICS:
fisher king
he's got eyes like jesus
and a smile like the devil
lord, how he pleases
make an old soul tremble
don't walk away
babe, don't talk that all the time
fisher king, if you give me just one thing
better give me peace of mind
you come thunder'n like horses
red fire coursing through your blood
then you shower me with roses
i lie naked in the thorns of your love
say your love's so holy
can turn my water into wine
but fisher king, if you give me just one thing
better give me peace of mind
you've come to test my faith
come to grind me down to something pure
you've come to drink my grace
till i'm crawling on the bedroom floor
it starts so sweet
but turns so bitter and unkind
fisher king, if you give me just one thing
better give me peace of mind
so you've come to show me the sun
but when you're done, you're gonna leave me blind
fisher king, if you give me just one thing
you better give me peace of mind
horror cartoon
little boy gets all that he wishes for
little boy, his eyes are like open sores
gazing for days at the television screen
big brilliant colours make his little heart scream
the dogs that beat him up
machines that spit him out
fun filled fantasies
that he can not live without
explosion from a hydrogen balloon
life inside a horror cartoon
mother buys books for johnny to read
mother tries but she can not succeed
johnny won't sleep or eat or go to class
little boy trapped inside the TV glass
the cakes that explode
the upside down carousel
johnny can not escape his
hanna barbera hell
tonight a huge talking baboon
live within a horror cartoon
jumping from windows
landing flat on the ground
with a soft squishy sound
walking on water
no worry no pain
inside your disney brain
little boy gets what he wishes for
little boy is a boy no more
liquid skin and painted eyes
won't his mom be real surprised
the shapes that he can be
the things that he can do
don't you wish that rubberband boy was you
day and night
morning and noon
live is but a horror cartoon
deep waters
she said, don't go near the edge, boy
the bottom is black and still
she said, don't go near the edge, boy
though i know someday you probably will
said, don't you go there at night, boy
said, don't you go and get a taste
said, don't you go there at night, boy
then she gently touched my face
all that deep water
all that deep water
all that deep water
looks good to me
i put my finger to your lips, boy
be silent when you take me down
something dark inside of me says
if i'm with you, i don't mind if we drown
all that deep water
all that deep water
all that deep water
looks pretty fine to me
song for the tin man
went to a club
watched the pretty boys turn up their noses
got home at 3
put in the CD for the roses
"i'd still like to see you sometime"
but when i came down and examined my lust
all that i found was the wreckage of us
and no one comes around
when the tin man's heart starts to rust
i love like a fool
guess that's the rule when you're lonely
tried my best to believe
that you had eyes for me only
if only
but then it came down to the trouble of trust
we let ourselves drown because we think that we must
and no one comes around
when the tin man's heart starts to rust
tonight i've seen love's tarnished face
amid the legions of dorian grays
their factory parts
their polished grace
can't hide their eagerness
their numbered days
see how fast how hard he goes
when the harsh lights come up
make a line for the door
well, here he sits at quarter to 4
with no one to adore
or sustain him
"i'd still like to see you sometime."
