lyrics

roll down Phoenix Road with a firebox full of fears
choking down hard whisky, counting out the years
manic xenophobe sitting in the boot
with a shotgun & a blanket looking so cute
adulation, flagellation, all the same to me
floating face down in a rabid sea
blue factory walkers getting cut down
by a sawdust vampire heading into town

his brain is barbed wire & his hands are rusty steel
crunching down headstones for a last meal
no more laughter, no more pain
flying into brick walls again & again
gunners on the tower & guards on the ground
smack back the black flag without a sound
he didn't know what he was saying & he didn't know why
running into walls to apologise

brain at a dead end, ruined skeleton
arse to the stormclouds, come on in
consciousness folds & rolls on the floor
& still he keeps on wanting more
tripping on every stone in the river in the drought
doesn't know what the song's about
the voice is flat & dull like someone drunk
who cuts off his head & puts it in the trunk

mock hell by going there, death offers nothing

a passionate disease amongst the falling trees
