Tortured By A Sense Of Humour

So left by one side
But never left in doubt
I shiver through the motions
I savour in and out
Failed until I saw the way the life denies
I feel the same
I feel the same for too little gain

Tortured by a sense of humour
My turn to laugh away
Laugh away
Tortured by a sense of humour
My turn to laugh away
Laugh away
Held by the heart and loved by the chain

Way down I'll set upon you gagged and bound
So far we feel your touch for miles around
And I feel the same
And I feel the same for you too little gain

Tortured by a sense of humour...


Celebration

A fading mystery
Failing with the light
He knows the enemy
And follows them at night
They say, he screams at all his latest murder scenes

You are the celebration drug
You are the celebration drug
A hunger for the light
No longer in the dark
They're hiding everywhere
Moaning with delight
Out there
No sound
No-one sees you underground

You are the celebration drug
You are the celebration drug


Crawl

I'm slipping apart
Is that how it seems?
And tourniquets of love's desire
Pull another vein of razor wire out of me
Right out of me
A cruel joke that they hope to play
That they'll crucify you anyway
Next to me
And you can get this for free

I can crawl through a beautiful life
But I can show you another doorway
Where I can fly

Stand in your place
And give as good as you get
We know that we are second best
But second best's the best we can get
You better stand with the rest
Watch and hope in your concern
Watch and hope that you can learn it from me
And you can get this for free

I can crawl through a beautiful life...
I can crawl through a beautiful life...


Overland

Here's the carnival that welcomes all
Firing up the rejects
Stimulates the mornings
That we never liked
Living life the long way
For once in your life

In a sleazy hard-on magazine
This party's so below me
Silence overloading
Sin and symmetry
You're wasted in the doorway
For once in your life

I can give you everything
If you ask me to
Just leave your mind
Where the heavens are
Where I've never been
Take me there tonight
Overland is paradise

I'll breathe your song
An obituary to write
Heartbeats desires
Arterial delights
I can hear the sirens
Screams above the overland

I can give you everything...
I can give you everything...


Desperate Miranda

This is desperate Miranda
She takes the rough for a ride
Snakes up her lowest angle
Take your toys from the older boys, my dear
Well Miranda

No-one's leaving
Carrion high and bleeding
In the rain with desperate Miranda
In the rain stained show

Wise to wait for the reload
Her love erased from behind
Blind and desperate Miranda
No-one can wipe away the stains on you

Well Miranda...

Well Miranda...

Miranda No!
Miranda No!
Miranda No!
Miranda No!
