lyrics

NIGHT AND DAY

I was the abstract rider on horseback on Neptune
– night and day – night and day
a horrible night owl living at point blank range
– night and day – night and day
the biologists in the bars made a fortune
– night and day – night and day
by pouring Pernod into the rivers of blood
– night and day – night and day
Thump thump thump, scream scream scream
thump scream shout, and turn it all about

And the ink undresses in people’s faces
the sperm of news wears black eye-liner
sensational and supernews, my arse
makes you wanna turn back into a bird

I was thinking vaginas and didn’t know the time
I had tired whores at the end of my bonehouse
– night and day – night and day
I was knitting at a 100 miles per hour
I’ll have easy sweaters to hibernate
– night and day – night and day
I smashed the alarm clocks and the watches
and women swallowed their lovers’ eggs
– night and day – night and day
the ocean of your arse unfurls on my backstage seat
your cancer is 2 days old and you are 18
– night and day – night and day
Thump thump thump, scream scream scream...

The ink dries fast on people’s paws
and the blood of the news blushes in their hands
stupid news and daft, and my arse
makes you wanna swift into fourth gear
Thump thump thump, scream scream scream...

The ink gives people deep memories
and the news is playing in the four corners of the world
news at the bowels of the worldwide news
makes you wanna throw up in the quadrature

They say the Truth went to the bathroom
and didn’t pull the plug: the Truth is disgusting

They say the Truth went to the toilet
and that she didn’t flush: the Truth ís disgusting

And you my love, you will never lie to me
you always tell the truth
– night and day – night and day
