Wall of Eyes - The Smile


Wall of Eyes

Down a peg or two you'll go
Behind a wall of eyes
Of your own device
Is that still you
With the hollow eyes?
Change to black and white
Strap yourself in


The trains don’t go there
The trains don’t go there
The trains don’t go there


Let us raise our glasses
To what we don't deserve
What we're not worthy of

So rich and wide
To the grains of sand
Slipping through our hands


The trains don’t go there (One, two, three, four, five, one, two, three, four, five)
The trains don’t go there (One, two, three, four, five, one, two, three, four, five)
The trains don’t go there (One, two, three, four, five, one, two, three, four, five)
(One, two, three, four, five)

Teleharmonic

Will I make the morning?
I don't know
Tied up in half-truths
Wanting, baby, baby

Whining drones on a cold sea
Ramming down doors, piling in
Caught in dragnets by fishermen
Wanting, baby, baby
Where are you taking me?
Where are you taking me?

Somewhere you'll be there, so long
Somewhere you'll be there, so long
Soon you'll be there, so long
Soon you'll be there, so long

In all that fire and ice
In all that fire
In all that ice


Bury me in the way out
In the past
Oh, Lord
How should I forget?
Hung up, pinned up
By hammer and nails


Somewhere you'll be there, so long
Somewhere you'll be there, so long
Soon you'll be there

In all that fire
In all that ice

Where are you taking me?
Where are you taking me?

And when the time is right
And when the end has come
Maybe you can't, maybe you can't be arsed (Can't be arsed)
For half a million (For half a million)

That's your opinion
That's how your story goes
A magic rain-, a magic rainbow (A magic rainbow)
So big, it bends the light high, high (So big, it bends the light, high, high)

You know it takes away
It takes the fun out
Maybe I can't, maybe I can't be arsed
This crashing currency
These kind of phone calls (These kind of phone calls)
These candy aerosols
These massive e-, these massive egos
So big, they bend the light high, high (So big, they bend the light, high, high)

Who knows what it wants from me?
This goes where it wants to be
Honey for the honey bee
But I am gonna count to three
Keep this shit away from me

Honestly?
Maybe you should read the room
What on Earth? (What on Earth?)
Come on, honey, read the room


Who knows what it wants from me?
This goes where it wants to be
Honey for the honey bee
But I am gonna count to three
Keep this shit away from me

"Come on out"
"Come on out"
"We know you're in there"
"We know you're in there"
Everybody thinks so
Everybody thinks so
Everybody thinks so

Under Our Pillows

Such delights wait under your pillows
Soft sung hymns from under your pillows

A slate wiped clean, a white loss of feeling
If you're ready and willing

Part of the sting, part of the giving
As the light bulbs are humming
Just allow it all to sink in
And you give yourself, give yourself, freely

Nowadays everyone's for sharing
Nowadays everyone's for sharing


Don't let them take me!
Try to convert me
With a voice I can only see through

Nowadays everyone's for sharing (Doesn't have a heartbeat)
Nowadays everyone's for sharing (Doesn't have a heartbeat)

Episodes wiped clean, wiped clean, wiped clean
Episodes wiped clean, wiped clean
This is major league make-believe, make-believe
This is major league make-believe, make-believe

Friend of a Friend

I can go anywhere that I want
I just gotta turn myself inside out and back to front

With cut out shapes and worn out spaces
Add some sparkles to create the right effect
And they're all smiling, so I guess I'll stay
At least 'til the disappointed have eaten themselves away


Buried from the waist down
Stop looking over our shoulder

Oh, the window balconies, they seem so flimsy as our
Friends step out to talk and wave and catch a piece of sun

I guess I believe in an altered state
Where they leave their windows and their doors open wide
Here the telephone lines are always busy
Unable to give a reason or a straight answer

Buried from the waist down
Stop looking over our shoulders
We need to get it together

From our window balconies we take a tumble as our
Friends step out to talk and wave and catch a piece of sun

All of that money
Where did it go?
Where did it go?
In somebody's pocket

A friend of a friend
All the loose change
Loose change

I Quit

I quit
My head is lit
A piece of me

This is my stop
This is the end of the trip

Conscience
And brotherhood
And brotherhood


Wild ghosts
Wild feelings
Leaning windmills

A dead drop
This is the end of the trip
A new path
Out of the madness

To wherever it goes
To wherever it goes
And wherever it goes
And wherever it goes

And wherever it lies
And wherever it liеs
To wherever it goеs
And wherever it goes
And wherever it goes

Bending Hectic

I'm changing down the gears
I'm slamming on the brakes
A vintage soft top from the sixties

We're coming to a bend now
Skidding 'round the hairpin
A sheer drop down
The Italian mountainside


And time is kind of frozen
As you're gazing at the view

And I swear I'm seeing double

No one's gonna bring me down, no
No way and no how

I'm letting go of the wheel
It might be as well
It might be as well


I've got these slings
I've got these arrows

I'll force myself to
I've got these slings
I've got these arrows

I'll forcе myself to
Turn, turn

The ground is coming for me now

Wе've gone over the edge
If you've got something to say

Say it now

No one's gonna bring me down, no
No way and no how
I'm letting go of the wheel


Despite these slings
Despite these arrows
I'll force myself to
Despite these slings
Despite these arrows

I'll force myself to
Turn, turn


Turn
Turn
Turn
Turn

You Know Me!

You with your X-Ray specs
You can see inside of me
, or not
I'm a boxer on the ropes
You are standing in my light
You've wound yourself around me
Like you know me


I am smelling user
Something bright and clean, and shiny
And when my back is turned
The point of a blade
A blade


Always "You know me"
Always "You know me"
"You know me"


"Keep your arms up son!"
You don't scare me
Bone china teas, China sea
Old galaxies, galaxies
And a town that's under water
None of this is mine

And a town that's under water
None of this is mine
Is mine

Always "You know me"
Always "You know me"
"Know me"


Don't think you know me
Don't think that I am everything you say...
