Lyrics
The Alternative
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Lay back for me
You were just exactly what I need
In this cold town
Lay back for me
The three of us in circus and in liberty
It's been too long
So throw your guilt religion
To the liars and the weak
This is the politics and war of ecstasy
(--?-- that fission-?)
That is failing every test
Is the comedy in death of your senses
To your alternative to real world
It's just time for me and a fantasy
Be blind to myself to idolize
To your alternative to real world
It's just time for me and a fantasy
I'm blind to myself (and?) idolize
You work so deep
Astonished and enraptured
I can barely speak
These are hard times
Hormones it (keeps-?)
(A slow whispered wet confession-?)
From out body heat
There's no return
