Virgin

I was a virgin
All skin and teeth
I didn't know a thing about swimming
Out in the sea
Until you have been turned into a seasonal item
Standing there like an exposed lewd photograph
Until you have taken the bait
Cursing, tossing, turning tides in your stomach
I was obscene
All skin and teeth
Going out for trawling
Dashed to bits on the reef
Screaming, "Give me your skin and teeth. Seduce me!"

Holding on for a pause
Some looney ideas in bloom
You can't let go
So we'll have to remove you by force
Trailing behind, wandering up the stairs
Ignoring the rest, never looking back
Light on your stomach
A city erected from your spinal column
Harboured these symptoms
Guess all you like, in the maternity ward
Homesick, avert your eyes from the lights
I am concerned that you're a distraction
Who called in at such heights
Take it as you wish
We'll plummet down from above
I've not a single clue, what happened
I've not a single clue, what happened

Atom Song

You came to me in my melancholy
It follows me into the early mornings
Brawling with the impossible
I shrank and turned into an atom
In the pulsing signals I danced
Till the light set me free
Did you hear us calling from the deepest chasm
Where darkness sprouts
We age without sounds
I shrank and swam up to your navel
In the briefest moment I was brave
The closest I've ever felt
Don't go out to sea without hope
In a tiny vessel dry as a bone

Some women are ghosts
They follow you around
I ripped the black sky open, there you were
Give me a straight answer
On porcelain platter
As fragile as your skeleton
Don't contradict yourself

Brought in the pharmaceuticals
I am a hypochondriac
Who won't sleep
Until she calls for me
The cat is playing these tricks again, you see
Nothing, nothing special
Nothing special about that
Don't ask me
I am only a man
A begging kind of man
My superstitions
Disconnect me
Wander around like a dog
Why won't you save me
Bedded down on the therapeutical
I love you but love is not enough
Slowly we untwine
Take the day off, dance until the night
Sweat out a fever
You were sweet and younger, and fine
Nothing, nothing serious
Don't ask me, I'm bad
These pretty words you spoke
Mean nothing to me at all
My superstitions
Disconnect me
Wander around like a dog
Why won't you save me
I invented these
To suit your needs
A bee in my bonnet
Why won't you come down and save me

I'll wait in an attic
Fill me up with sawdust
Punch-drunk in a limousine
I think you should move on
Don't course me with your greyhounds
I've lost my heart in the woods
Awake from a dream
The morning is crisp
Don't ever leave
Never mind my words
They keep getting twisted
I hope that Hollywood hasn't gotten into your head
Everything is all made up, can't deal with the awfully optimistic
There's no war, only the lies I keep telling
Till I've convinced myself enough
There's no war, only the truth I keep bending

Stir up a hornet's nest
Laid out in the open
Then tucked back away
Don't set yourself up for embarrassment
Sleep on a ledge
Thrown out to sea
Fenced in by the reefs
Don't set yourself up for disappointment
All willing, to let you in
So don't shut me out
Because I've still got some faith left in you
All human beings
My heart is going
While turning somersaults
My heart is going
While turning somersaults
My heart capitulates
Running down the fault
