The stars that shine and the stars that shrink
In the face of stagnation the water runs
Before your eyes Swallowing diamonds
A cutting throat
Your teeth when you grin
Reflecting beams on tombstones A jamboree of surprises
Playing Russian roulette
Or the lucky dip
A clenched fist to your heart
Coal dust on your lungs A silver tongue for the chosen one
Heavy magnum in your side
Or a bloody thorn Skating bullets on angel dust
In a dead sea of fluid mercury
Baby piano cries
Under your heavy index and thumb
Pull some strings let them sing The stars that shine and the stars that shrink
In the face of stagnation the water runs
Before your eyes Dazzle it's a glittering prize
Dazzle it's a glittering prize
Before your eye
It's a glittering prize The stars that shine and the stars that shrink
In the face of stagnation the water runs
Before your eyes
