HORSE THE BAND LYRICS

1. Hyperborea

...then came winter's bitterness
numbness swept down from the east
the lost, cold and hungry gently collapse
into the endless fields of soft luminous white
she sulks from the silver towers, she could save a life
he says he hates us and he's afraid to try
..and I know why
Trapped under winter's paw
I'm the animal
frost invades and steals my breathing
Distant dimples glut with glitter
and comfortable
outside the wolves are waiting
DON'T TRUST MAN
DON'T TRUST GIRL
DON'T TRUST ANIMAL
TRUST IN STEEL
Don't stop moving
Don't stop breathing
she sulks from the silver towers, she could save a life
he says he hates us and he's afraid to try
and I know why
and I know why
AND I KNOW WHY
when nature calls
TRUST IN STEEL
don't stop moving
don't stop breathing

2. Murder

The blood of this family mingles
With the clay in this stinking riverbed
I tie the boy down and tear his mother's gown
It's OK, she's already dead

I'll sell the boy and the horses
To the snake you cannot see
I cut open the white man
And take from his woman too
If it were up to me
All the white faces would bleed
And bleed, and bleed, and bleed
It's truth

Murder
It's murder
Murder
It's murder

Empty plains echo with empty screams
There's a wagon on the highland
A father and his girl- both are heading south
I tie the boy and the horses

Then use the skills of the wolf
I don't use a bullet
I get close enough I can use my knife
My knife

I cut open the white man
And take from his woman too
If it were up to me
All the white faces would bleed
Red's a better color
It's truth

Let the blood out
Let it flow
Cut the blood out
Let it flow
Kill the blood out
Let if flow
Like a river

Let it flow
Like a river
Let it flow
Like a river
Let if flow
Like a river
Into the sea

3. The Startling Secret Of Super Sapphire

In down between the unseen
secret room of wonder and despair
rusting and in disrepair
un-here and un-there
SUPER SAPPHIRE is smiling
He's trapped in a room with three dying moons
Pulsing bicep boom cracks wheels of worlds
his not-skin cold black
a deep blue space like waiting
Violet Lights Collide then shimmer in his hair and eyes
not wounds never bleed
the lights of whispered stars
HE'S A SHATTERING PERFECTION
COMPLETELY PAST DETECTION
his head is a comet's tail
and his face is made of hearts
SUPER SAPPHIRE IS SMILING
SUPER SAPPHIRE IS SMILING
...STILL SUPER SAPPHIRE IS SMILING
I am locked in his black hole gaze...
I eat moons
YET HE EATS DAYS!!!!
I am locked in his black hole gaze...
I eat moons
YET HE EATS DAYS!!!!
CRASHING SLAMMING BOOMING DOOMING
EATING WORLDS AND CONSUMING ME
QUONOM EYES NOW BLACK ALIVE
TEASING LEARNING BLIND
DE CAMP ING HIS SEC RET PRI SON ROOM
HE-- IS-- LOOSE-
I --WAS --A -FOOL
OH NO OH NO!

4. The Beach

5. Face Of Bear

Winter's coming
days die short
at the end of autumn's reign
hunger becomes ravenous
hibernation never waits
soon the silent slumber
for now October's feast
fearless and graceful
crashing through dead leaves
DON'T FEED THE BEARS
OR THE BEARS WILL FEED ON YOU
all the forest fauna
frozen feeling fear
flinching at the moment
face to face with face of bear
all the forest creatures
vanish from sight
their betters come wither hungers
that cannot be denied
soon the silent
dreamings coming
hungers drumming
nights grow long
neither plant or beast have walls or doors
defenceless from the greatest of the omnivores
towering
over my head
terrible beauty
fuck I'm dead
THE HUNGER!!!!
THE HUNGER!!!!
THE HUNGER!!!!
THE HUNGER!!!!
Fall is falling
stars are conquering
dead branches soaked with rain
Bear gut glut on critters
heavy eyes feeling weight
twilight sighs
in animal eyes
a new cycle will begin
this winter when trees are white
the fauna is free from him
DON'T FEED THE BEARS
OR THE BEARS WILL FEED ON YOU
I'll die with the honor I choose
I will fight face of bear and lose
FACE TO FACE
WITH FACE OF BEAR
FACE TO FACE
WITH FACE OF BEAR
FACE TO FACE
WITH FACE OF BEAR
FACE TO FACE
WITH FACE OF BEAR
FACE TO FACE
WITH FACE OF BEAR
FACE TO FACE
WITH FACE OF BEAR

6. Crickets

crickets
clicking
in silence
ticking
making me feel
empty
down to my very core
hiding
in the silence
broadcasting
tiny
little
violence
the clicking
ticking
in the night
that wasn't there before

7. New York City

Waking up in New York City
Dreaming about how it all began
Bright lights, big city
New Amsterdam and the Indians
You called me in tears
And it looks like rain

I walk south
Through our playground
Civilization's
Honeycomb

Taxi, taxi, taxi
Warm and pungent seats
Take me across the bridge
I can't be late

I'm heavy with you
Through cold morning avenues
Rushing with the rabble
Under gluttonous swollen skies

I'll come to you
Over clandestine sidewalks
I'll come to you
Crashing through dead leaves
Crashing!

I'll come to you
And cracks in the sidewalks
I'll come to you
Crashing

And the crosswalk says stop
But there you are
Just a flicker of a picture between
The static of cars.
And it's a relief
That these walls are so high
Like arms that hold us together
Waiting for a green light.

Go, go, go,
Stop!

Go, go, go,
Stop!

We embrace
In the heart of our city.
On wet, broken sidewalks
We're free

8. Sex Raptor

your legs are sweet and look like ivory
I can smell them and taste them at the same time
my mouth always waters with anticipation
we're together and I'm alive
feel my teethm they're lon and hard
the tips sharp enough to pierce your hide
now it's time to taste your flesh
you gasp and whimper a silent cry
good bye
I prowl the room
I prowl the room
for something sweeter to consume
I prowl the room
I prowl the room
for something sweeter to consume
"IT'S NOT ENOUGH"
"IT'S NOT ENOUGH"
"IT'S NOT ENOUGH"
"NO IT'S NOT ENOUGH"
my sweat starts to cover you
and your body starts to shake
no matter how much that you give
I just want more to take
"It's natural"
"it's natural"
I prowl the room
I prowl the room
for something fresh to consume
I prowl the room
I prowl the room
for something sweeter something sweeter something sweeter
"IT'S NOT ENOUGH"
"IT'S NOT ENOUGH"
"IT'S NOT ENOUGH"
"NO IT'S NOT ENOUGH"
my mouth has had it's fill of you
I can taste you on my breath
I give you one last kiss
and it's the kiss of death
"IT'S NOT ENOUGH"
"IT'S NOT ENOUGH"
"IT'S NOT ENOUGH"
"NO IT'S NOT ENOUGH"

9. Broken Trail

10. The Red Tornado

the red
TOR NA DO
the red
TOR NA DO
the red
TOR NA DO
the red
TOR NA DO
circuitry and sympathy
are two different things
but they come together
in a robot who dreams
round and round
and round he goes
TOASTER FOR A BODY
TORNADO FOR A SOUL
He's lightning in a bottle
tornado in a cage
he sees no prison in the lines of his face
TOR-NA-DO
Ah
TOR-NA-DO
AH
His emotions spin at destructive speeds
that he needs to control
the cumulonimbus inside the machine
he's half robot and half tornado
so sad the cyborg cyclone seems
drifting through the sky
a willful wisp of machinery
not born but devised
still the cyborg cyclone cries
coolant drips from his eyes
plastic hands on his heart
that slowly....
tear him apart
tornado tornado tornado go
tornado tornado tornado go
wild winds whip when he wishes
that he were real
he rarely rusts
but he's never had a real meal
by saving the world
he's saving himself
a machine that is selfish
just like everyone else
tornado tornado tornado go
tornado tornado
go go red tornado

11. Treasure Train

--all aboard--
hang on, hang on,hang on
hang on, hang on,hang on
hang on, hang on,hang on
hang on, hang on
I took steps
in this mission
to take this tumultuous ride
It's all right
I'm the physician
this medicine will keep me alive
I wouldn't feel, I wouldn't look
and i would rarely care
but there's a small window at the end of this train
i hear something out there
I didn't know and I wouldn't try
I didn't have the need
the sound from the windows is becoming much clearer
that wind's a mirror
I see myself
I'm not alone
On this train of jewels and gold
passengers passer-by
strange sparkles in their eyes
then black stars start boiling from my mouth
I WANT TO DIE
on my knees i clutch my face
then glow and come alive
There's...
Lightning: in my hair
Thunder: in my ears
I go so far my head explodes
I'm only half way there
Lightning in the sky
the thunder of the train
diving into a bottomless rift
falling like rain
Lightning in the Sky
thunder in my room
there's no flavor to memories
and memories are moment's doom
hang on, hang on,hang on
hang on, hang on,hang on
hang on, hang on,hang on
hang on, hang on
onto the treasure train
valleys of sorrow and peaks of joy
across an empty plain
the treasure
of the treasure train
ON THE TREASURE TRAIN
ON THE TREASURE TRAIN
WE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
ON THE TREASURE TRAIN
ON THE TREASURE TRAIN
ON THE TREASURE TRAIN
I GO SO FAR MY HEAD EXPLODES
ON THE TREASURE TRAIN

12. His Purple Majesty

Purple
or close
to purple
regardless
it was soft
and mushy
she said she
was so nervous
when these situations arose
she said she
touched its skin
it felt like uncooked chicken
but she wanted
but she needed
perfect sex in purple robes
he said
'hold my hand while I touch you'
he said
'it will feel better that way'
she said
'I'll do anything you say'
'this time
it was different'
she lost control
he licks his lips
and locks his eyes
on what he likes the best
and comes to her
with swollen love
and puts it on her chest
HIS PURPLE MAJESTY
HIS PURPLE MAJESTY
she lets him
INSIDE
even though it feels
WRONG
IT WAS ALL THE SYMPTOMS OF LOVE
BUT BLEEDING A BLACK HORROR
A HORROR
"Nothing is worth this!"
"Nothing is worth anything anymore!"
...even though
the stains are gone...
A choking gasp signaled
a stinking eruption
from her mouth and her throat
down her chin
HIS PURPLE MAJESTY
HIS PURPLE MAJESTY
He licks his lips and locks his eyes
on what he likes the best
and comes to her with swollen love
and shoves it up her ass
HIS PURPLE MAJESTY
HIS PURPLE MAJESTY

13. Kangarooster Meadows

On a warm summer day you'll find him there,
relaxing in the shadows,
tapping his toe,
under a tree,
down in Kangarooster Meadows.

K-A-N-GAROOSTER
M-E-A-DOWS

On a warm summer day you'll find him there,
relaxing in the shadows,
tapping his toe,
under a tree,
down in Kangarooster Meadows.

15. I Think We Are Both Suffering From The Same Crushing Metaphysical Crisis

"Dilation of chronal aperture in 3 2 1"
activate
initiate
instruments set to yesterday
at the speed light
across empty plains of time
on a ship of jewels and gold
all of time unfolds
A SEVEN CLICK BLIP
FOR A FIFTEEN EON TRIP
CRAFTING DEJA VU
EVENT HORIZON BOOM
DAYS RESCIND AND LAPSE
BIRTH AFTER DEATH
TOMORROW IS THE PAST
EVENT HORIZON BOOM
CITIES SHRINK AND FADE
INTO THE ICE AGE
DINOSAURS NOW NEW
EVENT HORIZON BOOM
TIME IS BROKEN!!!!!!!!
time after time
time after time
time after time
time
all these machines that dream
make me want to scream
there's no bears or wild things
the future's not what it seems
causality denied
all of time is now mine
the crisis we both share
is you are me when i was there
time after time
it's almost time
time to say goodbye
at the end of time
