Salt

(앨범: Industrial Silence - 1999)

No life, no life without the fall
Now the wind has swept us all
Down to this mission wall
And the love, the love we prayed to keep
Has buried us so deep
Has me singing this same sad song

I fell into her arms
Her warm and loving arms
She said: "You can never be free"
"You can never be like me"
Now I'm a mad dog and I'm mean
And now honey, you're my queen

Let us sleep tomorrow
In the mellow wallow
There's still time to borrow
And in the mellow wallow
Shine

Me I'll never have it all
Tonight I'm screaming at the wall
I peel the paint off with my rage
"Such material has no choice"
Peel the paint off with my voice
Curse this city's deep black soul
Now I'm sleeping on the floor
And honey I'm soaking wet and
And they're coming now
They're coming now
They're coming for me
As long as we are free
We'll be doomed to live and die
Under the great suburban sky
And I'll always holler
And in the mellow wallow
There's still time to borrow
And in the mellow wallow
Jesus

Head of heaven, head of hell
You are treating me quite well
Washed me up upon her shore
Now I'm scratching down your door
And all the words become my hands
Cold and broken on the floor
Peeling gooseflesh off your back
Pulling back your long black hair
Now this beauty is my queen
Skinny arms so very slow
A perfumed neck and blankets of snow
Oh what beauty, oh what rage

I will sleep tomorrow
And in the mellow wallow
Oh, there's still time to borrow
And in the mellow wallow
I had to fall to gain control

I'm lost and swept away
But I will always wait it out
Won't you listen now
Let me sleep tomorrow

We will never have it all
Now the wind has swept us all
Down to this mission wall
And see, the rhythm is your hand
Speed the rhythm, speed the band
This is the bright amphetamine sky
