1. Amalia's Theme

Delphi it drew us over the touchscreen
Delphi it threw us up like a stone
In sheep's clothing
Instrumental
The gods that roil inside of us

As she whistles her sweet oracles
Out by the poolside
Ravings of suicide
As Athens is burning
Plots and visions
Empty amber bottle
Opiate
The sky is blue today
Gone tomorrow
Castalian spring

Watching clouds
Amalia nods
Shield shroud
Amalia nods

Watching clouds
Amalia nods
Shield shroud
Amalia nods

Watching clouds
Amalia nods

Of moon beams sacramental
Poolside
The cigarette smoke
That gyres up like prophecies
Glyph in dragging blood

Amalia swayin' through the hotel corridors
Shuffling through the thousand years
Oracular and wandering

2. All The Pain In All The Wide World

Dim light in the bar
Makes one look younger
Neon lies

We sit and we drink
we pretend we're something that we're not

Jumble human bones with water running
Water running over them unknown
Almost sounding lovely
Trickle under grate outside

Jumble human bones with water running
Water running over them unknown
Almost sounding lovely
Trickle under grate outside

We sit, we drink, we play

[?] at all above of you
[?]
[?], some day, some time
[?]

No one listens
Can't you hear me talking and talking
And I'm not getting through
You're talking and talking
And talking and talking
But I'm not listening
I'm only talking
You miss the point
You're just not listening
No one listens
Can't you hear me
I'm talking and talking
And I'm not getting through
You're talking and talking
And talking and talking
But I'm not listening
I'm only talking

You miss the point
You're just not listening

[Repeat with ad-libs:]
All the pain in all the wide world
Couldn't fill even a fraction
Of the South Pole-Aitken basin
I can fix it
But it all fits in shadow pocket
Like a knife before it
Sticks in neck

Potential under icy moon
Scream then silence in the gloom
Scream then silence splattered room
That was then, this was soon
But you're too busy talking
And I wasn't even listening
Hand in shadow pocket
Pulse is quickening

3. Magnetism

Steel through passageways
Like water through fountain pipes
The eyes of many roll from their holes
Out to the causeway
Leering along the crooked sidewalks
And all there is to see
Follow secret, secret back streets

Flow just like water
Water flowing through a pipeline

Avoid the avenues teeming
Sun goes down behind landscape seeming
Alien in its nightmare evening
Avoid

Step lightly over whores reaching
Up through cracks in the concrete
Grinning death masks of beauty living
Hands like scalpels reaching out

Step lightly over whores reaching
Up through cracks in the concrete
Grinning death masks of beauty living
Hands like scalpels reaching out

Desire killed the curious
Desire killed the curious

Avoid the avenues teeming
Sun goes down behind landscape seeming
Alien in its nightmare evening
Avoid

Desire killed the curious
Desire killed the curious⟓

Incision neat and clean
Magnetism spilling onto street
Magnetism less the distance between
Magnetism unfathomable points
Attraction and repulsion

Who ever wanted to live forever?
Who ever wanted to live forever?

4. Rings Of Earth

Satellites with empty eyes
Stalk along the starry countryside
Titanium, titanium ghost
Tombstone orbit creeping
Thousands of miles above
The multitude of dead

Crown and constellation
Hang antenna vultures
Tower over the thermosphere
Like omens dead
When earth that fed
Left its relics in the sky
Unobstructed view

Ring of eyes
Ring of eyes
Ring of eyes
Ring of eyes

Ring of eyes
Ring of eyes
Ring of eyes
Ring of eyes

Ring of eyes watch without
Shapes and shadows that do not see

Lens reflect trajectory
Blue circle turns and turns

Ring of eyes
Ring of eyes
Ring of eyes
Ring of eyes

Ring of eyes
Ring of eyes
Ring of eyes
Ring of eyes

Awake in the day
Asleep in the night
Awake in the day
Asleep in a grave

Awake in the day
Asleep in the night
Awake in the day
Asleep in a grave

All sleep on blue grave

Rings of Saturn spin away
All these æons spinning
Rings of Earth are grinning
Satellites in array

Spinning as the days unfold
Watching as the nights untold
Bear witness to another light
The ring of satellites

Glinting over no one but
The skeletons of endeavor

Bear witness to another light
The ring of satellites
Glinting over no one but
Skeletons of endeavor

Rings of Saturn spin away
All these æons spinning
Rings of Earth are grinning
Satellites in array

Spinning as the days unfold
Watching as the nights untold
Bear witness to another light

Rings of Saturn spin away
All these æons spinning
Rings of Earth are grinning

5. Brittle Urchin

Darkness in the cradle of my heart will never wane
Sandstone boy in wind and rain worn-down featureless

A dented page of paper from a drawing diary
Wrapped in cracks like rivers, sugar ground to dust

A brittle urchin desiccated by the ocean air
Like a tower of ash upon a cemetery hill

I could never last, I could never last, I could never last.

Darkness in the cradle of my heart will never wane
I could never last like a sandstone boy in the wind and in the rain

A dented page of paper from a drawing diary
Wrapped in cracks like rivers, sugar ground to dust

I could never last
I could never last
