Lyrics
Malaria
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.
In the dumb fat sight
Of the heavy sweaty black
Malaria night
You can tell the shit
From the essence of heaven
In the smash and grab
In the sharp attack
Dishonest night
You can say what you want
And somebody listens
There's laughter and glass and perfume and flags
And kisses and trains and roses and vaccine
I'm living in a neon house
I'm living in avalanche row
I'm living in hangover city
Whatever gets you acclimatized
Radiation and downcast eyes
Serious sight
We're looking for a world machine
Cybernetic rabies
Syndication and sympathy
My world for you but not for me
I love you best when it's all a mess
Will you lie for me, cry for me
Die for me, will you please?
Oh, never never never never never never never say no
I'm living in a neon house
I'm living in avalanche row
I'm living in hangover city
And all these unforseen things tumble down
I got a love and it won't stop burning
In the dumb fat sight
Of the heavy sweaty black
Malaria night
You can say what you want
And somebody listens
Gonna say what I really want
C'mon say what you really want
Gonna say what I really want
Yeah say what you really want
Wanna live with halo jones
Wanna home that's miles from home
Wanna drugs from the twilight zone
Wanna never never never never never never never say no
