PART BUT NOT A PART


Baby's hot as fire
Baby's cool as ice
Baby rocks the foundation
Makes you pay the price

You'd better run away
The sky is falling down
While lovers dine on the immortal feast which brings the void to bloom

Chinatown is burning
Stalin's head is falling down
The queen is eating octopus
Extravaganza on the seine

A child has died

Baby's in the shower
A drop of blood is on the floor
A full moon settles in the east
Cool water washes death away

Did I call you angel?
There's moisture in your eyes
The Indonesian monkeys chant our names from the jungle tops at night

Satan rides a freight train
The buffalo the trail of tears
Great father fasts for forty days
The English army drops to their knees

And even Jesus gets bored

Baby sighs to no avail
Behind the veil a tempest storms
No one sees no one hears
She whispers all or not at all

We call out 'destiny'
Was there another life?
We worship the eternal when in love our flesh is intertwined

Disco light and genocide
The parade moves before I eyes
St Vitus' dance and rocket ships
Future shock, echoes of time

Take part but stand apart
