lyrics

Scratch the surface and there’s something there
Scratch the surface and it’s flesh blood and bone
Mind’s your own it leads you deeper and down
Scratch the surface and it’s mind of it’s own

History of the world in three and a half minutes
Three or four kings and a couple of Mystics
Towering statues, temples of gold
A pair of big row boats, the lovers of old

And we’ve been lovers now so many times
Don’t you remember those old chat up lines?
Rebirthing, regressions, going back in time
I was Cleopatra, you St Valentine
I was a slave girl, you the boy who made shoes shine
Dredged through vagueness, illness, nursery rhymes

Hearts will break, hearts will be put back together again
Souls will surface, souls will be submerged again

I’m tapping into something that goes beyond the mind
Play with the senses then leave them behind
Look behind the madness and there’s no one there
Stare down the darkness and there’s no one who stares

It’s unfair to speculate on the nothing at all
It’s a cheat to tell you that there’s anyone born.
In the Bible Jesus died but who was reborn?
All that’s left’s a veil of myth, a crown of thorns.
