lonely street humming
grasshopper worn
violent heat drumming
entrenched body warm
war helmets shattered
pooling in the mud
flowers from venus
soaking bubbling blood
yesterday's the thought
tomorrow's the dream
pitching wretched tuesday
she knows what i mean
sniffing metal door
flexing metal screen
yesterday's the thought
tomorrow's the dream
the biggest carnivals
fed with gasoline
image of phillip
he knows what i mean
broken glass morning
moonlit prosecution
searing galleon-chandelier
midnight execution
pictures of phillip
plastered on the wall
images of phillip
fade in the wall
creation of phillip
baby body worn
the death of phillip
broken soul torn
though it's sweet humming
grasshopper won
violent he drumming
a chance that he won
whir, helmet shattered
pulling in the mud
flowers from venus
soaking lovely blood
yesterday's the thought
tomorrow's the dream
pitching witch at tuesday
she knows what i mean
yesterday's a thought
tomorrow's the dream
pitching witch at tuesday
she knows what i mean
sniffing metal door
flex a metal screen
yesterday's the thought
tomorrow's a dream
the biggest carnival
filled with gasoline
image of phillip
he knows what i mean
broken glass for phillip
willing prosecution
searing gallon chandelier
in execution
