Pornography (deluxe disc 2) lyrics

(This is called A Short Term Effect)

Movement, no movement
Just a falling bird
Cold as it hits the bleeding ground
He lived and died, catch sight
Cover me with earth
Draped in black
Static white sound

Day without substance
A change of thought
The atmosphere rots with time
Colours that flicker in water
A short term effect

Scream as she tries to push him over
Helpless and sick

(This is the first time we've done this onstage. This is called A Strange Day)

Give me your eyes
That I might see
The blind man kissing my hands
The sun is humming
My head turns to dust
As he plays on his knees
As he plays on his knees

The sand and the sea grows
I close my eyes
Move slowly through a drowning wave
Going away on a strange day

And I laugh as I drift in the wind

(This is called Cold)

Scarred
Your back was turned
Curled like an embryo
Take another face
You will be kissed again
I was cold as I mouthed the words
And crawled across the mirror

Wait, await the next breath
Your name like ice into my heart

A shallow grave
A monument to the ruined age
Ice in my eyes
And eyes like ice don't move
Screaming at the moon
Another past time

Doesn't matter if we all die
Ambition in the back of a black car
In a high building there is so much to do
Going home time, a story on the radio

Something small falls out of your mouth
And we laugh
A prayer for something better
Prayer for something better

Please love me
Meet my mother
But the fear takes hold
Creeping up the stairs in the dark
Waiting for the death blow

A hand in my mouth
A life spills into the flowers
We all look so perfect
As we all fall down
And an electric glare
The old man cracks with age
She found his last picture
In the ashes of the fire

An image of the Queen
Echoes round the sweating bed
Sour yellow sound inside my head
In books and films
And in life and in heaven
The sounds of slaughter
As your body turns

But it's too late

(This is called Siamese Twins)

I chose an eternity of this
Like falling angels
The world disappeared
Laughing into the fire
Is it always like this?

Flesh and blood and the first kiss
The first colours, the first kiss

We writhed under a red light
Voodoo smile
Siamese twins
Girl at the window looks at me for an hour
And everything falls apart
Broken inside me, falls apart

Touch me cold
And inviting
Hope saves, if you'd rather go
To my hand or
And watch the unknown suicide

Oh, another trip to heaven
Tear it in the velvet lining
Limbs in the shape of temptation
Sex and parlor eyes
See the sound of blood and sweat
This is oh, my time
Just bless me father

Sharp and open
Leave me alone
And sleeping less every night
As the days become heavier, weighted
Waiting in the cold light
A noise, a scream takes my clothes
As the figurines tighten
The spiders inside
Throwing dust on the lips
Of a vision of Hell
I laughed in the mirror
For the first time in a year

A hundred other words
Blind me with your purity
Like an old painted doll

[MOD NOTE: These lyrics are very rough.
If anyone has a different interpretation, please send it in.]

The animal runs slow across me
I'm so tired
I can only fall
The black is dripping

In the hanging garden
Please don't speak

Blood in my ears and eyes like ice
Don't move
Why won't I move
Why do I pretend
We're made of everyone else

I see you in my room
I think of your friend
