Rhythm is a Cancer

Temptatio Atrum

I went into the night
Looking for a fight
Then I found her

She looked across at me
All she could see
Was a darker shadow

I reached out my hand
When she made to stand
I simply held her

She didn’t understand
No she’d never understand
The blood was getting louder

We walked to the park
It was more than dark
Smell the sleeping flowers

She stepped into my arms
I had her charmed
Though her heart was shouting

I gently took her hand
And kissed her mouth so moist
Shaped like a vulva

Then I looked into her eyes
Dilated and open wide
Like a soldier

Bleeding out upon the sand
That fatal shot that came to hand
Directed from his revolver

Jesus came and Jesus went
I fucked her hard right up to Lent
Upon your altar

I took her there without a thought
Didn’t care if I got caught
No plan of action

When she came
It killed the game
What was I doing there

I took my knife
I took her life
Sliced her throat from ear to ear

Do you understand

No you won’t understand

There’s no greater truth than love
Except the truth of total trust
Coerced by primal fear

So when you’re reaching out your hand
You must try to understand
I’ll be there

I’ll look into your eyes
Then say goodbye
I’ll relieve your fear

You may blame the TV set
For all the lies and all this death
You will shed a tear

While I will laugh
Yeah I will sing
Loving all the joy you bring

Do you understand

Now do you understand

I hold you irresponsible
For my actions

I came home from quite a night
The sun came up much too bright
I like it here

In a room shuttered blinds
A place where everything feels fine
I shine in here

Your cops will come
With their loaded guns
And blood will run

Still I like it here

You who came to see me fall
The writing’s there upon your wall

‘Cause it ain’t over
