Harp for Bats Songtext

von Earthling

Minako made me some brand new horns*
When I'm feeling brave I put them on,
Everybody thinks that I'm some kinda devil,
Taking this stuff to some crazy levels,
Who's to say these days will end,
Spend all my time with my chemicals friends,
Go all out, go out like, there ain't no day, there ain't no night.
New York City anything goes, why'd you think Nijinsky thinks he's a horse?
And Parker Posey's taking a pause before she goes and makes better movies abroad,
Sitting upstairs in the RER, going through the tunnel can't see so far, out of control like a stolen car, thinking about Blondie and them men from mars.

I close my eyes, count to ten and you aren't there, I close my eyes, count to ten and you aren't there.

When this broken kiss is over, when you bite my lip, when I don't know what I told ya or what it did, when we know it's never over, even when it is, silence is the most violent thing to give.

We got the trade but the trade ain't fair,
If there weren't slaves there'd be nobody here,
Put on my gloves, put on my pads, start real slow then I go kinda sad,
There's no stopping no holding back, I wonder if we're ever gonna answer that,
Nothing on my mind but the golden cat, last night running round this lonely track,
We no that these are the only days, we're in Versailles but they've closed the gates,
Laser treatment, sweet like honey, watch the time, don't watch the money,

It was so sharp, it was so hardcore,
Eleven o'clock we ain't here no more,
Everyday now I don't know where we went, when I let go you'll be here again.

I close my eyes, count to ten and you aren't there, you're not there.
