Simple Joys

I was built from the cold of men

With the hands of Marquis de Sade, a cruel facade

If I could somehow spend another day with you

I'd pluck out the eyes of God

I would live in the time of owls

In the days when the world was green, my love machine

Though I bear no mark of war upon me now

Oh the things I've seen

Chorus

Keep me far away from all the noise

I just caught the last boat out of Hell.

I don't know the joys of simple joys

I'm not feeling well

But I'll sit real still

If you don't tell.

There's a place for us, my dear.

Where the daughters of Orion sing.

Where a man can live without the cloud of fear

Choking everything.

Chorus

There's a heartbeat in the wire

There's a soul caught in the meat

The veins, the feet

We all expire.

Chorus
