lyrics

DAISY CHAIN

I need a substance
to transport me into the eye of my horse
To stand in that brown lucidity
in that orange, ever-blooming lotus
that understands only grass.
Winter's coming on, the poppies bloom
Unaware of their coming doom.

A series of waveforms as perfectly corrupt
as life itself
A series of waveforms as cold as
light from the moon.

So much darkness

At the welfare office they holler my name
all over the place
I know I exist but only then
Thou hast prepared a table for me
in the presence of mine enemies
thou anointest my head with oil

Now light arrives from the stars
in strangled little packets
strangled little packets of light
from the stars.

So much darkness.
