"Rags (Second Amendment)" lyrics
"Rags (Second Amendment)"
Everything is rags and there's nobody to blame but me
And it would be so easy if there was no one to hurt but me
But now everything that I do
Coming out of me
Will just tear through you
In and out of you
Up and down your life like a curse
So that when the sun bursts
When the rain falls, when the wind blows
I rip through your heart
On a horse called Nightmare
Bucking and spitting, I ride to your house
In the home of Bluebeard
Blood flows as red as any flag
Death cries "Victory is mine!"
Laughter echoes
And Death just claps his hands
And then time stands still, castles fall
Lightning strikes the tower, announcing Chaos
Sunday's Child scales the walls
Of a paradise then dives into darkness
A fool playing god
With one foot in Eden, one foot in Hell
And blindness in his brain
And fever in his eyes
Lies on his tongue
Still saying "This is just a dream"
But I will burn me
Right out of this place
I will lay you down to sleep
So when you wake
I'll be gone
And you will remember
Nothing
You will remember
(Nothing)

Where I can wipe away the madness from your face.

Our name is...
Kate Bush - "Cloudbusting" I still dream of Orgonon
I wake up crying
You're making rain
And you're just in reach
When you and sleep escape me
You're like my yo-yo that glowed in the dark
What made it special made it...
Pete Townshend - "Give Blood" (Give blood) But you may find that blood is not enough

Elbow - "Dexter & Sinister" And I don't know Jesus anymore
And an endless sleep is awaiting me
And I haven't finished yet
And I'm not a dog for the end of days
I'm a bird in a hurricane
With the heaviest heart jackhammering in...
The The - "Heartland" Beneath the old iron bridges, across the Victorian parks,
& all the frightened people running home before dark,
Past the Saturday morning cinema--
that lies crumbling to the ground,
