Kiss In The Dreamhouse lyrics

Here in my cot -- where my cot loves me
I'll stay here a while -- in the cotton wool cocoon
'Til the chrysalis is ripe -- 'til the time is right
With this feeling of insecurity
I have to shrink back inside -- run and hide

Back in the cocoon -- hugging my knees
Watching my insides -- the skinned glow-worm writhings
Lying in blankets -- I've been here a while

On lead-poisoned wings -- you try to sing
Freak beak shrieks are thrown -- at your confusing hue
The peacock screaming eyes -- show no mercy no mercy

Painted bird -- it's absurd
Just a tainted bird -- hurting their twisted nerve

The flock will make you choke -- on this sadistic joke
And the whippoorwills -- they make a din
In laughing unison -- you're hitchcock carrion

You are the melting man
You are your situation
There is no time to breathe
And yet one single breath
Leads to an insatiable desire
Of suicide... in sex

So many blazing orchids
Burning in your throat
Making you choke
Making you sigh
Sigh in tiny deaths

So Melt!
My lover, melt!
She said melt!
My lover, melt!

You are the melting man
And as you melt
You are beheaded

Pretty girl of 16 -- has fun and runs crazy
Ruined girl of 16 -- now a mother grows lazy
Next a 16-year old baby -- like mother grows lazy
And her stomach is churning -- whilst her eyes keep on turning
Round and around
Getting no higher from the ground
Round and around, round and around
The circle has an empty sound...

Father inflicts discipline -- boy rebels against him

In the heart of the night
She smiles like Mardi-Gras
Spinning in a dizzy haze.
Her circus head giggles
It's a friendly disease
Catching colours from the air

So with your hands upon the hips
Of the dancing flesh
... She's a Carnival...
And when it's lip to lip
In a surprise-time kiss
... She's a Carnival...

Mosaic eye, gypsy eye
Glowing as it dazzles
She's a portrait of a poison

Do you hear this breath -- it's an obsessive breath
Can you feel this beat -- it's an obsessive heartbeat
Waiting to be joined with its obsession

I close my eyes -- but I can't sleep
The thin membrane can't veil
The branded picture of you
The signs and signals show -- the traffic lights say go
Again you baffle me, pretending not to see... me

Hibiscus head -- in a flower bed
A finger hewn -- planted and sewn

Oh magic in her hands -- she could make anything grow
Magic in her hands -- she had green fingers

It's curious
Where animals don't go
Mandrake rooted deep into the soil
Where the sun won't fall -- but it flourishes
See the pretty maids -- all in a row

Magic in her hands -- she could make anything grow

Oh the Air was shining
Shining like a wedding ring
Barbed like sex
I felt 10,000 volts
My chest was full of eels
Pushing through my usual skin
I opened up new wounds
Pouting, shouting-

Oh Love -- like liquid falling
Falling in cascades
Oh Lovelorn victims
Laughing in cascades

The Sun was rich
Rich with a song of sin
My breath melted my words
Into strange alphabets

Get your head down to the ground
Shake it all around -- a dirty sound
Put your knees into your face
And see if you can race -- real slow
It's a slowdive -- when you die slow
Oh it's a low jive -- do the slowdive

Now you jump back like a hound
Emit a howling sound
Dig those limbs into the floor
And holler out for more

And you revel in the dips
When your backbone slips
