The violinist turning blue
Makes love to the gypsy
In a six-sided room
The thread from a bobbin
Squeezes the sperm from him
As his shadow turns blue
Squeezes the sperm from him
As his shadow turns blue
|
What have we done to you?
Strangled your poetry
Destroyed you bodily
Violinist's shadow turining blue
|
|
The orchestra explodes
With the might of the atom
The ultimate stage show
A river of pure blue sweat
Sweeps away the orchestra
Now blown to smithereens
Sweeps away the orchestra
Now blown to smithereens
|
What have we done to you?
Strangled your poetry
Destroyed you bodily
Violinist's shadow turining blue
|
|
Bat with a ghost in mouth
Surveys the dismal sight
Skyscraper coffins lie
Within your own mind's eye
And you are the cargo
Struck at by lightnings of silence
And you are the cargo
Struck at by lightnings of silence
|
What have we done to you?
Strangled your poetry
Destroyed you bodily
Violinist's shadow disappears.........
