about

Words and music originally written by Newsome c. 1997

lyrics

When you were naked
In front of me
At long last
I felt nothing
Oh strangely I felt nothing
And dug in your thigh
In the dark, anon
And almost cried
I closed my eyes
Then headed anywhere
But there with you
Uncomfortably dissolved
Like sugar
In weak tea

The tuba filled with salmon
Shivers in its sleep and dreams
Of dismemberment
And schemes of
Gifts to the undeserving
Gifts to the undeserving like
The harm bracelet
Silver lung
Iron tongue
Cheque, sword and the
Cut snake madness of us all
Cut snake madness of us all
Here
And now

When I was gone
You rolled over and kicked the light
Then lay a long time not breathing at all
Lit up a cigarette and walked outside
Looked to the stars
Shook your head
Then stared at the ground

The tuba filled with salmon
Shivers in its sleep and dreams
Of dismemberment
And schemes of
Gifts to the undeserving
Gifts to the undeserving like
The harm bracelet
Silver lung
Iron tongue
Cheque, sword and the
Cut snake madness of us all
Cut snake madness of us all
Here
And now
