Lyrics: Alan Duffy / Music: Steven Wilson
|
|
A systematic killer
|
Returning from Madrid
|
Murdered Mozart in his garden
|
Mussolini ran and hid
|
He was chosen by his elders
|
Sitting on the shelf
|
They passed his heart to Satan
|
Who showered them with wealth
|
|
A Purple Haze crawled on the lawn
|
Where lonely angels played
|
And Shakespeare wrote of Vietnam
|
While a president decayed
|
Hollow laughter from below
|
Cracked the sky in two
|
As Manson dance inside the flames
|
And the yellow changed to blue
|
|
Swinging from a length of rope
|
Ruth Ellis blew a kiss
|
Merlin spoke to Norma Jean
|
And granted her a wish
|
Mark Chapman stared at fantasy
|
Bare wires burned his brain
|
As Sergeant Pepper led the band
|
Playing through the rain
|
|
The third eye on the surface
|
Opens up my mind
|
Twin visions in production
|
This long silence you will find
|
|
