Lyrics
In Conflict
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.
Spun out on the highway, the car inverted
What are you but a drum and a tube and a wire, black heart?
A fire in the dark?
I have no statement for your benefit, young man
Except this: We all will live again in the eyes of an actor
And the light on the glass
So let me see that ass, hey hey hey!
Sorceress, valkyrie, you let you let yourself believe
Sorceress, come clean, you let you let yourself believe
That there is nothing to lose
There is nothing to lose, there is nothing to lose
Remember when I told you all about the father-ghost?
He whispers at you when you try to pull
"You're an imbecile and your limbs carry lumber,"
Well, my limbs carry lumber
The shadow of violence is the shepherd of sense
The shadow of violence is the shepherd of sense, but when I hit the fence
I had a hand on the wheel and a hand on the dial
Man on trial, hey hey hey!
Sorceress, valkyrie, you let you let yourself believe
Sorceress, come clean, you let you let yourself believe
That there is nothing to lose
There is nothing to lose, there is nothing to lose
