Legendary Pink Dots The Lovers Lyrics

The Lovers Lyrics

The street looked kind of different - harsher colours sharper
angles. Shops
stacked high with stereos and rows of magazines. Smells
of coffee, glossy
limousines. The sun danced on the chromium. Slant
eyes drowning in the
light. Lights turned red as elbows jabbed, voices
snarled and luck turned
sour, Children screamed! Brakes were
screeching! Knees were pumping, ribs
were crunching... Crushing,
drowning deeper...
The street looked kind of
different. The paving stones were playing
cards, and cried out as I skipped
from the red to the black. Cracked a
joke about the joker, saluted all the
kings, threw a ring to the
blackest queen who ushered me away to the palace
in the square where
the air's so cold and it gets so lonely in the
night.
She whispered sleazy secrets on the couch by the TV. 3D visions of
a
soapflake, trumpets blared, a voice declared: "Are you feeling
dirty?"
Yes but also very pleased. Heard applause, felt the claws in my
back,
rocking backwards, rocking forwards in the groove. The earth
moved!
The couch moved! We rolled on the felt, knocked the vases off
the
shelf... Watched ourselves in the mirror, like animals like
cannibals!
And you ate my ear so I nibbled on your shoulder... Rolled your
tongue
up in my hands - I swallowed it whole. Flesh decreasing by the
second
until all that remained were the eyes, mine brown, yours black.
Tilted
back, we stared at the hollywood sunset. Brighter now... it looks
so
pretty tonight. The light in my little girl's eyes...
