She Took Us To The Places Where The Sun Sets Lyrics - Current 93

Anyway murder they say 

Please murder 

My face was watching braille dogs 

Hammering out belonging to the sky 

Their wings form shutters 

From Alan's window 

The incense drifts past the skins and shells 

Ruby waves goodbye 

And runs to the valleys 

That are beautiful 

And drenched with rain and colours 

And green was that blood then 

The sap of monsoons and butterflies 

When I was small the red flowers opened 

And I broke letters and dreamed 

Or murder and nations and Crowley's jazz 

4 or 5 decades later 

I am some Egyptian face 

Was I in Luxor carving my name? 

Was I binding cats with kindness and saws? 

The green glass stinks with ash 

In the broken windows 

Remembered bodies 

Fill the streets with novels 

And the brave boys pass by 

In brave pontoons 

And mark graves 

With pebbles that sink and shriek jingles 

What was the lie in your showboat? 

Or your slowboat? Were the paperweights 

Calling you to statis? Or murder? 

Was your soul at KostKutters or Kwiksavers? 

The cats lie under pink lights 

And see themselves as ponies with fur 

Whilst Judas arises 4 centuries too late 

And says ecce homo an 

I was not the creator at the dawn or evening 

But the trains walk by to Toytown 

And call for fares from the wooden front 

You and I were walking the calypso 

Howling for teatime 

At teatime the conquistadors and matadors 

Are salvators and astronauts 

The sea was bloody red and coupled with fury 

Anyway murder they say 

Anyway murder
