Be my inkling, be my earthling
Be the voices of the trees
Be my inkling, be my fledgling
Be an angel by degrees
Wolves at the door, look they're asking after you
Loves on the floor, look they're reaching after you
They want you
Be my inkling, be my princeling
Be a visit from beyond
Be my inkling, be my thinkling
Be a black and be a blonde
Wolves at the door, look they're asking after you
Loves on the floor, look they're reaching after you
They want you
Be my inkling, be my yearling
Be a portrait of a god
Be my inkling, be my starling
Be a world where strangers trod
Wolves at the door, look they're asking after you

You must have a system
A lucky number, oh what a jungle
Seek little city nestled in the clouds
Turkish togas midnight, I felt so proud
And her voice
I see a sign
Cartoon words in a blackout line
They always read
They always read
Let's experiment
Let's experiment
Polly, Polly, Polly
A little wonder, oh what a victory
Prisons from the pictures missing from its cell
Marine-opatic [0:55] midnight obey my spell
Touch a flush
I'll think of you
Seven kings sit start to steer
It always glows
It always glows
Let's experiment
Let's experiment
Let's experiment and see what we can see
Let's experiment and see what we could be
Let's experiment and see what we can see
Let's experiment and see what we could be
Wishes were a light dust
Another answer oh what a liquid
Such a stand of seeing is on the toppled floor
Angled over midnight, washed up on the shore
I wish I wish
I breathe in deep
Demons find you from your sleep
They always grasp
They always grasp
Let's experiment

There's a doll inside a doll
I never see her smile
She hasn't got a number, oh
She hasn't got a file
There's a doll inside a doll
Another inside, too
And all become the other
I wonder what to do
She says lucky us oh lucky
You're such a lucky one
I'm a doll inside a doll
My paint's begun to run
There's a doll inside a doll
Perhaps she isn't there
No one comes to visit
She doesn't seem to care
But today lets play at tigers
Today we'll just let go
I want her to be a person
The Bible tells me so
She says lovely I'm so lovely
Oh I'm such a lovely one
I'm a doll inside a doll
My paint's begun to run
There's a doll inside a doll
She's forgotten her address
I want to tell her secrets
But I've nothing to confess
There's a doll inside a doll
And another inside, too
And all become the other
I wonder what to do
She says happy we're so happy
Ah we're such a happy one
I'm the doll inside a doll
My paint's begun to run
She says lucky you're so lucky
Ah you're such a lucky one
I'm the doll inside a doll
My paint's begun to run

Be my inkling, be my earthling

Be my inkling, be my fledgling
Be an angel by degrees
Wolves at the door, look they're asking after you
Pages on the floor, look they're reaching after you
They want you
Be my inkling, be my prince

You got to meet me, you got to see me
I'm estranged but then I'll change
Into the empty shops where the cups don't go
I give you kisses that never show
I give you touches you'll never know
I give you aches that never go
Choose, I choose you
Lose, I want to lose you
Bruise, and then I bruise you
Be estranged if you refuse to
Make, I want to make you
Take, I want to take you
Break, and then I break you
Be estranged if I forsake you
You got to trust me, you can't distress me
I'm estranged but see I've changed
Turn to the hard times where the blinds are down
I give you sins that never sent
I give you ups that never down
I give you gifts you never found
Choose, I choose you
Lose, I want to lose you
Bruise, and then I bruise you
Be estranged if you refuse to
Make, I make you
Take, I want to take you
Break, and then I break you
Be estranged if I forsake you
Choose, I choose you
Lose, I want to lose you
Bruise....

Surface is broken
Belted facade
Under your blanket
You're not so hard
You're not so scarred
You believe in yourself
The secret is sworn
Crumbled mystique
A nighttime is torn
I mourn the born
You hunt the dawn
Your arrows are scorn
But I mourn the born
Yesterday's bully
Tomorrow's elite
Stand up for yourself
You can find your feet
Yes you're sweet
And you're sooo petite
But the line is drawn
The word is out
You don't need to fawn
I mourn the born
You hunt the dawn
Your arrows are scorn
But I mourn the born
I mourn the born

Things will never be the same
When I come back again
Even if my face is changed
I'll try to remember this time
Years are missing in the rain
When I come back again
Even if I have no name
I'll try to remember this time
When I come back again
This new world, this old world
A visit and the smile remains
This new world, this old world
When I come back again
Searching on an empty plain
When you come back again
Even if your face is changed
I'll try to remember this time
When you come back again
This new life, this old life
Visit and the smile remains
This new life, this old life
When you come back again
Meet you in the fading lanes
When we come back again
Even if your face is changed
I'll try to remember this time
Years are missing in the rain
When we come back again
Even if I have no name
I'll try to remember this time
When we come back again
This new world, this old world
Look back and a tear remains
This new world, this old world
When we come back again
When we come back again
This new world, this old world
When we come back again
This new world, this old world
When we come back again

In the empty place the soul stripped bare
Of skins and heart and I come apart
In your icy hands
I forget my role, as I stare into your soul
In the empty place I change my mind
You change your clothes, you change your pose
For a perfect fit
I forget the cast, as I stare into your past
For a moment we're strangers
For a minute you look away
For a second it's always
For an instant another day
Such strange things you say
In the empty place we dress our wounds
Collect our coats, a window gloats
Above a street
I prepare my case, as I stare into your face
For a moment we're strangers
For a minute you look away
For a second it's always
For an instant another day
Such strange things you say
As yet the word from you
But don't I know you
Is this true, is this truly new
Are we through the stolen door once more
In the empty place we dress our wounds
Collect our coats, a window gloats
Above a street
I prepare my case, as I stare into your face
For a moment we're strangers
For a minute you look away
For a second it's always
For an instant another day
Such strange things you say
Such strange things you say

Sitting in my white room
As phantom moments pass
The world looks through this window
But it's blocked out by the glass
I pretend that trees and chimney tops
Are patterns on a shirt
??? [0:45] cup is buzz and sway
The schoolgirls come to flirt
Ahhh, it's an insect world
Ahhh, just an insect world
Actors with wings
Mantas go zings
In the insect world
Look a little closer
Scorpions driving cars
Wasps up here like traffic lights
Locusts slow my shars [1:37]
Ants invade the Hilton
Termites in the nars/bars [1:44]
Beetles on the telephone
Fighting sex change stars
Ahhh, it's an insect world
Ahhh, just an insect world
Actors that sting
Mantas goes bring me an insect world
Beetles on the telephone
Moulting sex change stars
Bow bug selling papers
Hominids conquer Mars
Ahhh, it's an insect world
Ahhh, just an insect world

I went looking for a reason
In the marble eyes
The gardens with their peacocks
The flowers and the flies
The silence round my fingers
That touch the cold stone skin
They never think, they never breathe
They take the gardens in
The paths lead here, the paths lead there
I'm looking on the pools
Fish too slight, they don't see light
Where imaged flowers rule
The air so much like opium
The trees are drugged and still
Soon my hands turn gray then white
I see my hands are chill
I'm moving very stiffly
My feet and legs are stoned
And then I'm frozen marble
But then I'm not alone
I'm moving very stiffly
My feet and legs are stoned
And then I'm frozen marble
And then I'm all alone
[added Sept. 20, 2016]
The secret unfolds so reverently slow
It's a carpet of crews unrolling to you
Across sand and snow
The secret involves the higher then low
It's a spiral of news revealing to you
Across sand and snow
Something's happening for sure
And it's out in the deserts
And it crawls on the shores
Unwritten laws
Unopened doors
Something's happening out there
And it falls in white fields
And it hangs in the air
It isn't polite
It isn't fair
The secret arise, insidious vogue
It's a part of yourself that you never know
Across sand and snow
Across sand and snow
Across sand and snow

The scene is real
We can't survive without your hands
The scene is real
And we have no meanings in your plans
The scene is real
If you have to write a book
Then it's only ink and paper
If you want to take a look
It's changed around much later
You don't have to be alone
You don't have to be alone
It's only in my mind
The scene is real (real)
We can't survive without your hands
The scene is real (real)
And we have no meaning in your plans
The scene is real
If you have to try to fly
Then it's only wings and feathers
If you have to live to die
It's only chromes and leathers
You don't have to be alone
You don't have to hear it moan
It's all another world
The scene is real (real)
The scene is real

The fire suggests goodbye
It's the end of abstract embraces
Cold water daylight scattered
A week to get it out of the body

The rest has taught us nothing
Reappear with both guns blazing

Desperate dying signals getting on my...

The book remains unopened

Won't you come and wander this weird old world
With all its dark secrets and dreams
We could walk through the lands and fly through the air
And float away in streams
A storm of mystery
Raining all over me
Birds, graves, crocodiles
Whispers carrying on for miles
We talk about this city and all of its lies
That's a joke, we're a cog in its wheel
And we're rolling on down to the end of a hill
And never stopping to feel
A storm of mystery
Raining over me
Wind, souls, emptiness
Childhoods spent in the wilderness
A storm of mystery
Raining over me
Summers past, imbeciles
Fevers, feathers, windowsills
Hey won't you come and look around
You never know what you should find
Maybe it's cold, maybe it's old
Maybe you left it behind
Maybe you left it behind
Maybe you left it behind

You came out of the dark and on your head a face burned
I let you in my room but I realised what you are when my back's turned
I lock the door, please don't come through
I try to think of something else but all I get is you
You're my idea, you're my idea
You're hanging in the wardrobe disguised as a piece of modern art
I feel my hands towards the rush but it seems that the rushes start
Off go the light, on come your eyes
You're dancing like a puppet, and tattered in disguise
You're my idea, you're my idea
You're hiding in the mirror and you think that I can't see
Sometimes I think I look like you but it's only that you look like me
Inside the building, outside the hall
I try to follow but you're walking through the wall
You're my idea, you're my idea
You're my idea, you're my idea
You came out of the dark and on your head a face burned
I let you in my room but I realised what you are when my back's turned

See her in the car park
On the screen, on the phone
My abstract model
See her in the cool dark
With the queen, with a drone
My abstract model
My abstract model, doesn't know, doesn't care
My abstract model, no surprise coming there
My abstract model, sees her face, interface
My abstract model, cut her chain, win the race
Catch her in the lamplight
In the past, in the room
My abstract model
Chase her in the damp night
She is past, she is doom
My abstract model
My abstract model, doesn't think, doesn't breathe
My abstract model, can't forget, can't believe
My abstract model, I measure her, pleasure her
My abstract model, always keep and treasure her

One morning you wake up
And the ache is gone
Watercolour weather dripping off your umbrella
As if your life has just begun
Hard, dissatisfied, just like a child
It's not a question of pride
Your prophet margin comes after time
(Now we're gonna walk our line)
One evening you go to bed
Intoxicated, unaware
The symptoms that you painted, they respirate the pain
While danger is stroking your head
You see what is to be, what's been decreed
It's not a question of scared
The prophet margin is never shared
(But we're gonna get away)
You've got a beautiful future
Talk stranger and a house in the park
You shed no more tears for a couple of years
And then it gets kinda dark
You probably will have gifted children
There will be rumours of war
Then one afternoon as you lie in your room
Ah, then we won't see you no more

It's slowly, slowly, slowly sinking in
We may not be able to hold on
The ambition is far too strong for us some day
In the darkness, in the night
See you're slipping out of sight
A felted mountain cold and white like the snowbound
As I'm slowly, slowly, slowly falling down
I can hear them talk to me
But they speak so uneasily of the snowbound
In the darkness, in the night
See you're slipping out of sight
A felted mountain cold and white on the snowbound
Sun is slowly, slowly, slowly shutting down
I can feel it changing me
It's stranging me, it's so fond of me from this snowing
And in the darkness, in the night
See you're slipping out of sight
A felted mountain cold and white on the snowbound

In the welded room, the blue flies drawn
The smell of turpentine
Winding up the dummy spring
They grind out Auld Lang Syne
The sunlight through the window drifts
But never really shines
He kneels upon a dusty floor
And says, "Won't you be mine?"
You were hiding, always riding
Nightmares that you let run free
Coming to you, ran right through you
Rocking horse in a nursery
On a freezing day the gypsy boy
Spits blood in the snow
His mother says you'll be afraid
When it's time to go
And you wonder about the wish you made
That came true long ago
As you run towards a caravans
But the dream has made you slow
You were hiding, always riding
Nightmares that you let run free
Coming to you, ran right through you
Rocking horse in a nursery
You were hiding, always riding
Nightmares that you let run free
Coming to you, ran right through you
Rocking horse in a nursery
In the welded room, the blue flies drawn
The smell of turpentine
I'm winding up the dummy spring

You thought you knew what you were getting into
But your adventures soon came to a sorry end
Well that nasty little habit really should be seen to
'Cause now you've got to get it just to feel yourself again
And you can't turn back when you need your smack
Your face is livid and your teeth are black
Your pocket's empty and your jaw is slack
And there's nothing left for tomorrow
You dabbled then you babbled but you could handle your stuff now
The bitter regrets say you can't get enough now
And your temper's short and you need a snort
A one way ticket's what you bought
So you tell your sad story to the court
There's nothing left for tomorrow
Why did you think that you'd be immune
Thousands of dead men thought that too
Cooked their goose in a blackened spoon
Now there's nothing left
Your suckled friends told you it was so romantic
But where are they now, you need more and more
Instead of feeling cool you're just feeling frantic
As to me, well I think you're just a bore
And you can't turn back when you need your smack
Your face is livid and your teeth are black
Your pockets empty and your jaw is slack
And there's nothing left for tomorrow
Why did you think that you'd be immune
Thousands of dead men thought that too
Cooking their goose in the blackened spoon
Now there's nothing left

He says it hurts down inside of me
Here in the heart
She waits for her turn so patiently
It never stops
Down to the shards of the looking glass
That can't be me
Across and into a photograph
We all can see
He says it hurts down inside of me
Here in the heart
She waits for her turn so patiently
It never stops
He says it hurts down inside of me
Here in the heart
She waits for her turn so patiently
It never stops
[Start of a round]
Down to, down to the ossuaries
That block the way
I know that in fact you're over me
That knocks me stiff
But there's too much, too much conditioning
There goes the day
Not enough, not enough of compliments
To go around

Take a walk with me mister
It's time that we arrived
We swerved too late, could mean someone's sister
It could mean summer's rise
The night she left tears were steam
Too hot to cry over my stupid dreams
And you can't change your mind just because we're getting in
It's just another way to say you know nothing
Oh, what a clever mind
Still I don't understand
Oh I can't let the judgement heads judge me
You look and look and look and never see
You lock the cage and set the darkness free, again
Life, it's like a cave, but go too deep
You find unexpected things
Some of them bring joy and it strips you back so quick (quick, quick)
You never feel the sting
And way at the back where it's cold and it's black
A side of yourself that you hate to unpack
But no one wants to stay and look into the crack
In case it's just their own eyes looking back
Oh, what a holy night
To set the world alight
Use our dreams to burn our way to Rome
Use our children's eyes to guard our home
Put another cushion on the throne, again

Floating in window knives
A love call, a piece of you
I learn, I say sit tight
They've torn the least of you
As the world
Jostles through the stars
Life is such a blast
Always rushing past you
And there, parceled and bare
A land where you meet a man
You stare in the arm chair
As you prepare to be him again
And as the world
Pushes through the dark
Hardly leaves a mark
This is all a lark, ohh...
It's the trying that's so hard
Down on drumstick boulevard
It's as a soldier pretends
It's as a story won't end
And when it rains the sky sighs
And the ocean sun drags
The girls are all there
With controls and brown hair
