"Yawning Abyss" lyrics

"Yawning Abyss"

Do you remember neon signs
Like [?]
But it doesn't rotate any more

We drove along the boulevards
All lined with ruins of
Victorian-style horrors
And those everyday street warriors
We floated by like dreams
Kaleidoscopic remnants of those dreams
Called nightmares where the light
Is a strange colour like before
A deadly twister hits

Come sink with me into the yawning abyss
You'd have to be a crazy person to assert you never wanted this
Come jump with me into the maw of the great yawning abyss
Don't be silly now, you know you've always wanted this

We sat in Googie cafés
And you had that look upon your face
Because the autumn never came
The autumn never came
I thought about ceramic
Figurines and bomb pops
And the summer splashing in the pool
And listening to the radio

Tupperware terrariums
And pink [?]
But now your father's home, turn off the TV
Wash your hands, it's suppertime
Everybody says they didn't see it coming
It was more like
Kissing [?] moving slowly
Slithering with confidence

Come sink with me into the yawning abyss
You'd have to be a crazy person to assert you never wanted this
Come jump with me into the maw of the great yawning abyss
Don't be silly now, you know you've always wanted this

Come sink with me into the yawning abyss
You'd have to be a crazy person to assert you never wanted this
Come jump with me into the maw of the great yawning abyss
Don't be silly now, you know you've always wanted this

Don't be silly now
Don't be silly now
Don't be silly now
You know you've always wanted this
