THE HANGING GARDEN (demo 1981) The animal runs slow across me I'm so tired I can only fall The black is dripping In the hanging garden Please don't speak Blood in my ears and eyes like ice Don't move Why won't I move ? Why do I pretend ? We're made of everyone else I see you in my room I think of your friends The ordinary chokes me And no one cares Empty men You're so useless Choking under covers Stifled like a dead man Happy with the empty men In a small room Lash my face with glass Ever away from the animals Still no closer Crushing my fingers like ribbon Like an animal swelling in sickness Sallow child Frustration and hatred Cutting my hand Cutting life with clean hands Touching me Above the lies and shapes of angels Keep away from my face In series Pictures of madmen color the walls It's all a waste of time Everything jumps once And i fall into the walls Covered like a madman choking Choking like an empty man Swaying out of time to be real again I think I should finish soon I think I should end Magical dreams and the end of the world Choking under the covers The stifle from a dead man Happy empty man Sing in a small room Lash my face and the animals sing Please don't speak in the hanging garden Every night in the hanging garden The animals dream in the hanging garden The animals dream at the side of the road The animals dream at the side of the road In the hanging garden In the hanging garden In the hanging garden
