You know, when it’s known
We all go, when it’s shown
That’s the way
Some drugs, all drugs
Yes drugs, no drugs
That’s the way
That’s the way I rationalise everything
You know, when it’s known
We all go, when it’s shown
That’s the way
That’s the way I rationalise everything

There's A Light
04:50

There’s a light, and it shines on through
At first sight, it seems so cold
When you get up close, it gives off a green glow
And then you can look into the whole universe
Is this right? It feels so wrong
This insight, shows too much
Does the beat of this heart keep causing you pain?
If it does, then let it make your heart race again
There’s a light, and it shines on through
When it’s night, I see the light
With a confused mind and a stone-cold spade
You will keep digging holes until you find something buried in one
There’s a light, and it shines on through
At first sight, it seems so cold
When you get up close, it gives off a green glow
And then you can look into the whole universe
Make pain create

How did it come to this? Why am I sitting here?
When I sleep at home, my eyes never close
Balls up on hills, balls up in the sky
When the sky goes dark, all of the night I wait
And I feel more secure in the night when I know your there
You wait, for why I don’t know
I cannot cope with this, this cannot be real
I have seen things before, but all of these things were lies
At least I think they were, time always changes minds
The past comes back in strands, all that I have is here
And I feel like I know it’s not a lie and I see the truth
Now I can’t come home and I know

Once I Saw A Vampire

Once I saw vampire in the way
I was impressed, he had a red rose and a radar
He was standing in a parade with a smile on his face, as he started the race
All I could wonder, was why I was here and why he was there
And he kept me wondering
About how he managed to block out the sun
He had a PVC coat, big stupid boots
He looked a bit of a twat, but then most vampires do
I came here to hide, all the chairs have fallen down
A single one in the window, looking down, on the old town
People say, there’s no vamp in the way
But if there’s not, then what the hell is that?
With big white teeth carrying a rose and a grudge
Get out of my way, you’re in my way
People think I’m crazy, just because lately, I’ve been seeing vampires in my way
I don’t want to go home, it’s not safe I sure know, but better the devil you know

Ambient Groceries

The late shift it occupies all my mind
But the late shift, it takes away, all my light
When I walk through the aisles, of the shadows of death, I see Mars bars
Stocking up the aisles, towering high
When you see a customer, try and hide
Warehouse walls and these pallets, by my side
I feel so much safer, than outside
When I walk through the aisles, of the shadows of death, I see Mars bars
