Flower Of A Zero

What's to see but the secret?

Crystal balls sittin' in your sockets

What's to feel but the presence?

Shakti fields surge in your circuits

Steep it, cook it

Love is an oven

A couple ones

and I could bake you eleven

Shake it, cut it

open a vessel

a couple wounds

could give you a vinyard

What's another bruise in the belly,

Can't you take a punch like a lover,

don't you wanna dance in the gutter,

For the flower of a zero?

Daddy likes polishing a pistol

Mother digs fingerin' her bible

Sister's stuck under an uncle

I got a brother down

bingin' in the basement

Shakin' shadows outta the mortals

duke it out until the Devil is dizzy

breakin' knuckles

fuckin' climbin' a spiral

diggin' jewels outta the jungle

What's another bruise in the belly

can't you take a punch like a lover

don't you wanna bleed like a mother

for the flower of a zero?

What's another spike in a muscle

to a couple kids in a riddle

fallin' outta hell like the petals

from the flower of a zero?

Flower, Zero

Baby why do we do this?

We've already been through this

we're all Jesus and Judas

especially the Buddhists

But I keep feedin' the fantasy

God I'd love a lobotomy

before I murder the Mystery

I need you to lift me

Above

all the shit I've learned

show me the way

without a word

Forget about halos

Forget about heroes

Flower, zero

What's another bruise in the belly

can't you take a punch like a lover

don't you wanna bleed like a mother

for the flower of a zero?

What's another spike in a muscle

to a couple twins in a riddle

there's nobody here but the petals

from a flower of a zero

Flower, zero
