Powder Keg

(album: The Light User Syndrome - 1996)

You better listen
It's thin
It's a powder keg
You better listen to me

Take me home
I don't want to go
Take me back to the safe
You know better
You better listen
It's a powder keg
You better listen

Retreat from Enniskillen

I had a dream
Bruised it coloured
It going to hurt me
Manchester city center
Caroline
Take me back
I can't get the bus
Do you know what they say

You better listen
He's a powder keg
You better listen to me

Sickening in its infection
His radioactive radio-head drips with powder
His aura, round halo, thin
Listen to me
Thin
Retreat

Head loaded people avoid bad luck
Hives away
Confined to the university in the town
Powder, retreat from Enniskillen

I don't want to go
Take me home
Take me back to town, Mark
Don't you know, the town is a powder keg
