lyrics

Mama's suckin' peppercorns
On the roof of the central station,
Watching people drown like ants
From the roof where she lies,
From the roof where she lies.

I am half-imaginary,
I am a constabulary,
My flaws are all hereditary,
And I am burning out,
I am burning out.

I am a fire-breather,
I'm a Leaning Christ of Pisa,
I am a believer,
and I am burning out,
I am burning out.

Horse, with its swollen eyes,
Becomes a foal when it turns to time,
And I am drowning in the mud,
Learning to become a child
Of blood.

I'm grandma's costume jewellery,
I'm a hen without a roostery,
I'm a man without,
I'm a man without.
