The Width Of A Circle (1999 Digital Remaster)歌词
In the corner of the morning
in the past
I would sit and blame
the master first and last
All the roads were
straight and narrow
And the prayers were
small and yellow
And the rumour spread
that I was aging fast
Then I ran across a monster
who was sleeping
By a tree
And I looked and frowned
and the monster was me
Well I said hello
and I said hello
And I asked "Why not"
and I replied "I don't know"
So we asked a simple black bird
who was happy as can be
And he laughed insane
and quipped "KAHLIL GIBRAN"
And I cried for all the others
till the day was nearly through
For I realized that
God's a young man too
Oh I said "So long"
and I waved "Bye-bye"
And I smashed my soul
and traded my mind
Got laid by a young bordello
Who was vaguely half asleep
For which my reputation
swept back home in drag
And the moral of
this magic spell
Negotiates my hide
When God did take my logic
for a ride
Riding along
oooooh
oooooh
He swallowed his pride
and puckered his lips
And showed me the leather belt
round his hips
My knees were shaking
my cheeks aflame
He said "You'll never go down
to the Gods again"
Turn around go back
He struck the ground
a cavern appeared
And I smelt the burning
pit of fear
We crashed a thousand yards below
I said "Do it again
do it again"
Turn around go back
His nebulous body swayed above
His tongue swollen
with devil's love
The snake and I
a venom high
I said "Do it again
do it again"
Turn around go back
Breathe breathe
breathe deeply
And I was seething
breathing deeply
Spitting sentry
horned and tailed
Waiting for you
ooooh
ooooh
