lyrics

(Jenny)

Non sequiturs are the order of the day

Slipping deeper into a delta state
Now I understand the plight of King Louis
Son of Charlemagne
As the darkness crept in
And he was overthrown
(He reclaimed his crown, not once, but twice)
How much am I prepared to fight?

Where the compass points bend and meet
At the centre of time
Thus spake Zarathustra
With a Coltrane tongue
Atonal wisdom spilled from every pore
And spread like cracked ice vines
His philosophy states
That God is dead
And that lack of intellectual progress
Will lead to the decline of the human species
I agree
But what do I know…?
Lying here with broken soul and punctured lung

I see exotic shapes
Collapsing into telescopic nights
Desolate on the crest of life

Eternal recurrence
Visions of Lady Godiva
Her beauty is an echo on infinite repeat

But none of it is real
All that there is, is here and now

I can’t escape my fate

This is my black valentine
This is my black valentine
This is my black valentine
