Alarmed

The alley and the air where everything is laid bare
Everybody tells me everybody's seen in there
You told me i had better prove to be epical
As the colour was washing quicker than ephemeral
Like mementos of all the casual proprieties
The sordid details, the mess and the sour envy
No-one knew so there was nothing the matter with it
I'm alarmed, so alarmed
Coasting the shore like i'm not supposed to know
Creeping along the darkness under below
I used to show it around but that's when it was out of control
No-one heard so there was nothing on the telegraph
I'm alarmed, so alarmed
I'm alarmed, so alarmed
I'm alarmed, so alarmed

Cottonwool

There's this tiny part of you that envelopes all of me, and you licked it
That's the way it's always been, it remains forever sealed, yeah i bricked it
It's been 30 years and i'm still teething...
So i pack cottonwool into my mouth, cottonwool stuck on my tongue
Cottonwool and it fills my lungs, cottonwool in the rope that i swung
Cottonwool all in my mouth, cottonwool so i don't breathe out
Cottonwool when i'm aroused, cottonwool for my cotton-mouth
And so these morals have no meanings, but your bottom lip's got feeling,
You didn't bite and i should have kissed it...
You told me "Hey boy, you must be dreaming - you had just that one chance to steal it, and you missed it"
And now that wall is washed and i'm all wished out...
So i pack cottonwool into my heart, cottonwool so it tears me apart
Cottonwool sutures my veins, cottonwool in the mess of my brain
Cottonwool into my heart, i didn't feel as the beat didn't start
Cottonwool when i'm aroused, cottonwool for my cotton-mouth
Cottonwool it got everywhere, cottonwool in my teeth and my hair
Cottonwool and it just won't stop, cottonwool and it feels like rot
Cottonwool in my my bed, it tickles my toes and my feet and my legs
Cottonwool when i'm
Cottonwool in my heart, i didn't feel as the beat didn't start
Cottonwool in my eyes, cottonwool it's my best disguise
Cottonwool in my ears, cottonwool and it all that i hear
Cottonwool when i'm aroused, Cottonwool for my cotton-mouth

The Inferno

This thin air that i like to breathe, from way up high in solitary
Is making me a slow machine - numeric, thoughtless, binary
And aaaargh, i could have waited here for years.
Can't come near, The Inferno was the last time.
And all i've wanted, and all i've seen
The inside-outs and the in-betweens
This made-up mess, hypocrisy is all... alright.
Out beyond the over there, another tower in repair
If all can see then why can't i? The prison or the alibi..?
But AiAiAi, i couldn't read between the lines
Up to the nines, The Inferno was the last time.
And all i've wanted, and all i've seen
The inside-outs and the in-betweens
This made-up mess, hypocrisy is all... alright.
Your toes are on fire, and touching mine
Please don't move a muscle girl, because it's alright.

Drink me, make yourself giddy, make yourself small
Eat me, make your own story, make yourself tall
Take this, make yourself human, make yourself warm
Now get out, make yourself comfortable, ride out the storm
Ooooooooooowowowoo
Come on, come on in, come on endear me
I've waited, waited for something, something tells me it's near me
Ooooooooooowowowoo
Ooooooooooowowowoo
Every time you ask yourself "Should it be like heaven or should it be hell?"
Another little part of what we've got gets lost to the memory and the thought
This wonderland is sinking fast, no i wouldn't have thought it's got long to last
One more time - lets go again, 'cause i never ever only want to be your friend
We were lucky, and now we don't do without, now we are lonely
We were careless, now we don't meet the eye, we're frozen and horrified.
