Ocean Life
(专辑: Last Day On Earth - 1994)
The
sky is full of dirty, aching air, that's burning a
greasy yellow and zooming slowly in on everyone Untie these fighting sunsets that will not be fulfilled The
noise on her eyes is still there, even when the
retina peels from the
strain of the
dull Sacrilegious commandment of an eye for an eye or a
tooth for a
truth Even the
ocean is ghettoized now, another dirty alleyway that leads nobody home When you're so young and full of expectations, you're looking for that perfect wave and when you'd like to ride 'em all So I
ask you from the
bottom of my heart: is that any way to treat your mother? Red, red, red river, bloody ocean of sorrowful memories carry me to the
deep blue sea I
hear you, calling me Is it true that virtue fell by the
wayside? Not even a
mark And who will lift the
fog of bitterness, pull aside the
tide of regret? Who will avoid the
undertow of sentimental drift? Who can live long on poetry and wrath? I
don't have the
patience, but what does it cost on the
open market? And who can afford that? I
wanna be buried in the
bottom of the
ocean, like Shelly Winters in "The Night of the
Hunter" My hair billowing, being kissed by the
fishes, Sushi for Shabu. If fishes were wishes I'd have you. I'd have you Ahh, I've never felt one, a
tremor that is... greed, envy, lust, gluttony, anger, pride
