Fever Car

Juice up the muscles. Agitate...

No-one leaves the fever car. Shout...

When fear is the driver

We're running to the wall...

No-one gets by, no-one gets away

No-one leaves the fever car

Juice up the muscles. Agitate...

Feed this hunger - Running through fire

Running past the fence

Force-feeding shadows

Trying to get the sense

Party taken over - Push a stage higher

Gatecrash the senses

No turning back the fire

We're getting nowhere

We're getting near

Way past the burning stage

I heard a voice scream "Mama mama mama"

- in a man's world

We'll rattle these ghosts right out of this shack

We'll drive this car right off the tracks

Feel the fever - SHOUT

Black Wall Blue

I don't know just what to say

Pull tight - greeting - stay now

I don't know just what to say

Still waiting

Dog to wolf - light to dark

Fire through ice and temper spark

Will you come back?

Don't leave me in the dark

Still waiting

I'm going to burn down tracks

as far as you go

I know and that's a fact

I'm not going 'til you come back

tell me another secret now

Time slips and you just wait

sometimes clocks just detonate

tell me another secret now

I could burn right through

don't you turn the black wall blue

tell me another secret now

Torn Silk

He's all prepared now... no adjustments. Close the case

No expression, bones tighten up... Screaming from his face

An alarm-spring coiled too tight in a sick light...

another sentence closed, another question posed...

Cut up rough - straight down the line

Cut up rough - no easy answers

First the whistle then the bell...

Mouth burn the phone line all wishing well.

Time for recount - time stops

Check the wreckage - count the cost

Someone set their stall out for a new day in hell

Nice colours - too much smoke

Two hours earlier laughing at a sick joke

she wonders what when wrong for someone it went right

it went all to plan... watch the lens scrape over the landscape

Tense... but it all makes sense...

First the whistle then the bell...

reply in kind straight into attack

the bugle blows goes blundering off down the wrong track...

no-one let the flood gates open - they just burst

the split turns the flood gates open

freeze the frame - you've just been chosen

Deadliner your number's up

Cut up rough - straight down the line

He gets the grease out as he looks into the mirror...

a willing sinner... a winner.

No change in climate. The heat bakes at the window

pushing to come in. He goes outwaving, no white handkerchief,

wearing both guns... watch the lens scrape over the landscape

Trolley up statistics - everyone is listening...

the massage simple: Give back!

Big Heat

25 hours I hear you whining

sirens burning, flashing in the shadows

Every minute, every day

the air keeps clawing, ripping through the shadows

City burning like a candle

someone lighting matches in the shadows

Trying to make a prayer call

soldering crossed wires in the shadows

Town slits like a Chinese eye

like a big bad bin-bag burning

The smell of thrash piled up so high

God, this whole damn city is hurting

Why can't you hear me calling?

Here's a place probably insane

and here's a joke as I see it from the shadows

Trussed up in a had-backed chair

listening out for footsteps in the shadows

Here comes the bully-boys 

swinging like a hangman's luck-charm

here comes the loaded gun

here comes the dark blue hammer

Bust-up bars. Film noir. The big machine slurs into action

under the light, under the shade

Rinse away these greasy shadows

under the sheets where scared eyes meet...

I saw you in slow motion falling, running, slipping, spinning, calling

Why can't you hear me calling? Big Heat

Watch this stupid heart go crashing

Slamming down through thirteen stories - just not my lucky day

Kissed the devil and hell to pay

Sweat and swear and scowl and huff. Stay awake and lie and listen.
