The Nudes Lift Shields For War
Lyricist:David Tibet
The west got the rest it deserved ''Drowning'' under oysters Sailing on disappearance Underwater
But infallible the blossoms In the far night Under the tabernacle The mermaids drift joylessly
Queer meter maids Snapdragon elves Invert against eons That guided missiles
Into the Alchemist's home The credit card is canceled The ''Storm'' her eye on the sores And the eyes and ears of wild blind eyes
The bucket home Of the unready phrase Grand marsh of the 'Night, death, storm, omega'
The traffic lights flicker out at Mamre The last thing I saw were your eyes They were as loud as stars As mute as the twilight sinking
Over the olive tree Licking ''Flames'' from the ''Burning'' bush Scales stairs always up The monsoon was driven by the ''Storms''
Into the valleys By ''Chic'' tombs the swallows drift Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Ironic to their end The kittens fill turquoise cages
In time to the milkmaid's slow calling Pain in the plough in the fields The green greedy fields Bleed lace and dream, machines and chips
And Aladdin's wires, the alleluia buzzes Brimming with sounds of ''Storms'' and vowels As voiced by the deaf On the palates the shapes and their heads
Like berries lush in the summer We were all ready to drop The sound of the ''Storm'' was spears Ripped phrases from the First Garden Log
Sensational news 'The nudes lift shields for war' But swivel and bank to the left Breast bared the Amazon And blind lens shuts over rivers
Hovering illly over the mist The ''Cataract'' approaches might in grins Growls borrowed histories Maps are scored and scraped
Debris, white pens, rust, root Swarf, machines, bad faith To us, us, us, us The clouds ''Drown'' in mists
Covers the sow, the bristle The tiny mouth huddled In the box of blisters Floods comics of bibles
