    OH YEAH (another one)

    oh yeah I almost forgot, "I love you"
    oh yeah, you know the words you once told me?

    huh, whats that? love yeah, i know - 'emotion'
    devoid of feeling, tunnel of light
    death is white and safe is black
    roll over, lay that card down

    oh yeah
    thats me on the black and white with the knife
    10 years old
    oh yeah, I know
    razors: hurts like hell but keeps you awake
    a void

    "Slumber," said the maided, "Hatred," said the king
    the needle sinks deeper
    to the sounds of rock n' roll
    sadness is a veil and behind it i hide

    bitching on the phone,
    neighbours scream to the TV,
    loud and filled with harmony
    tumbling down a rat alley,
    looking for moss and fungi,
    treblinka nightmare and phone-book novels
    stitch after stitch after stitch
    but that boy can never be mended

    oh yeah, it's me again ..
    laughing. why? oh yeah I was high on death
    oh yeah, i know i never laugh for real,
    noone gives me reason to, none other than Her

    hope is a flower sprung
    from under the tarmac obstruction,
    love is a color: I wear my clothes black.

    there are flows of rain,
    and gushes of blood
    trouble in a box
    feel the Freedom breathe down your neck?
    run faster run faster

    locked inside a dream, hopefull,
    longing and crying I tear my eyes out
    and give to all who wants me

    can i help? will you let me?
    want me to be your friend?
    of course, i love you!
    who me? can't you see me smile?

    oh yeah, thats a real smile alright,
    would i lie to the wind? (hardly ever)
    oh yeah, i know it looks stiff and forced,
    but thats the way i am;
    made from marble, living in mud

    oh yeah, i'm finished. sorry.
