voices
in the plastic circle
[music: urmuz, dub_M - lyrics: urmuz]
voices
out there
raw
claws sleep in the sand
through the magic of wars
hidden holes in the skin
speak with words of your own
voices
out there
exhale
your next word
as if it's the last one
raw
claws sleep in the sand
through the magic of wars
hidden holes in the skin
speak with words of your own
voices
out there

TV
intruders in fast motion
[music & lyrics: urmuz]
walking through the rain around the province
[soft landing on a sponge hell]
the shyness of drops on concrete
that hesitate to blend their aroma
with my exacting smoke gasp
the perfect liar is performing
a sibilant concert in my ears
[as the buttons draw the track]
the radio waves as a marsupial careful mother
eject their sound brood
in the couch bottoms sink down
[the ups and downs of my sight]
|
|
| |
| |
to
drown in the textile trap
terse skies above
the palimpsest I'm feeding on
when my wheels meet your tracks
I like to stop the machines and speak the truth
vapid
eyes are conveyers of lies
in their pennon there's no effigy of sorrow
when the nightfall betrays your home
and the show begins to penetrate
the mask they've chosen for you
venomous fingers are conveyers of channels
venomous fingers push the untruly convictions
when the nightfall penetrates your home
your venomous fingers pray for an encore
red
alert, watch the TV light
red alert, break the TV blight
too
many inches of exaggeration
release the ballast and keep runnin'
release the ballast and keep runnin'
release the ballast and keep runnin'
|
|
| |
| |
release
the ballast and keep runnin'
release the ballast and keep runnin' |

cromlech
[music: urmuz - lyrics: dub_M]
now
you can show us the best tears
one size fits all
one size fits all
one size fits all
hands about vice chase the apologies
it's your fault that I smell
it's your fault that I smell
it's your fault that I smell
another
sunrise witnessing my verses
|
|
|
| |
| |
eroding
thru the most normal white light
the last stone seals eyeless valedictions
black glasses mirror other's black
hands
about vice chase the apologies
it's your fuck that I smell
it's your fuck that I smell
it's your fault that I smell
black glasses mirror other's black
my skin can't forget
my skin can't forget
my skin can't forget
another
sunrise witnessing my verses
eroding thru the most normal white light
now
you can show us the best tears
one size fits all
one size fits all
one size fits all
hands about vice chase the apologies
it's your fuck that I smell
it's your fuck that I smell
|
|

it's
your fault that I smell
black
glasses mirror other's black
my skin can't forget

unburied
verities
[music and lyrics: urmuz]
dig
another hole in the reality ground
walk upon the road between those huge mounds
you will find a crack opening a wall
record it in the list of what you didn't know
all the words wasted trying to use our plain life
all the signs and ciphers that will never match come down
|
|
| |
| |
myriads
of silent unknown verities
hidden in the uncertainty of centuries
we feel so gods every time the things seem to bow
but we are so dead for every unexpected pulse
for every aluminium can placed at the bottom of an alley
for every curve a weak leaf traces in the air come down

trouble
home controversy
[music: dub_M, urmuz - lyrics: dub_M]
not
for collections of perfume phials
we're making great strides
but with a disrespectful thud
we walk the road to 'nothing's right'
we're
not going far
we're not living for something clear
we're walking our road to wherever but home
|

|
| to
wherever |

magnets
'round my autumn tracks
it's hard to thank the vessel
when a prison is your wharf
in convalescent black
in convalescent black
I am
here only to endure
and tarnish our photograph
run
through these passageways
run away to kill routine
if slaying faint appetites
makes me to despise my eyes
run away to kill routine
run away to kill routine
I am
here only to endure
and tarnish our photograph
behold
the ruins of reason
when everything seems to break
the lovely occupation we fret for
|
|
| |
| |
nothing
in our bed
invalid hand-shakings
between two bodies so unknown
between two reasons so unlike
stays here what I don't like
in convalescent black

gnasher
[music: urmuz, dub_M - lyrics: urmuz]
undecided
in mid-air I re-arrange my will
before this entrance so unhandled
shall you come towards my silicon arms
|
|
|
| |
| |
to
grind yourself in the longest enfold?
torpor invading my good behaving
it offers you the dread of relenting
my foaming jaws show their nicotine teeth
you can count every bite from their filth
you can count every bite from their filth
to
rest is a need you won't encourage
the pest is behind your trembling shoulder
taste
my efforts
the
twitching lightings of nightly cafés
predict a good sleep to my feet
before a naked bed with a hostage in my hands
I paint your blank canvas with red
fragments of nails buried in the back
trace the sweet path of libido
mocking the veils fallen on the floor
left to have fun with the dust
to
rest is a need you won't encourage
the pest is behind your trembling shoulder

now
that we are lost by a disease
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
| |

fingers
protect a dull sulphur match
towns go empty, men get drunk
machines! machines! did masticate behind me
cathedrals in the spume of labour
scars, illusions, ego
amidst the ruined temples a perturbed sun locates
windows rest after the stranger rainfall
a reconnaissance for all the things
for all things to keep
for all things to think
horizons planned by waving flags
fanfares for all the roads
in the dark they light up fool islands of men
the
race in the lanes
nail factories and sirens as nightmares they shout
the scent of sand even into the clothes

heimkehr
[music: urmuz , dub_M - lyrics: urmuz]
it
finds shelter in you the density of our steps
under a crumbling roof of earthy webs in hands
the twisted ride of a river
guides our eyes to go back home
uncertain path tonight, uncertain sleep
fulfilment is afar - fulfilment is afar
tell
me where's life
our
sleepy fingers type
the name of what's unheard
they speak what is unseen
see what has never been
show
me what ends
the
light inside the windows
it blackens who's around
animated shadows devour our lethal bound
|
|
|
|
| |
| |
show
me what ends
today
I found my way to discover what I need
I'm feeding on the rovers I meet throughout the trail
fires indicate the entrance
my home is warm for dying
the prey is always nearer
a gash is not a crime
beyond the road there's never a light to guide your hands
sometimes the knives betray them
to speak the words of shame

fixing
a hole
[music & lyrics: Lennon - McCartney]
I'm
fixing a hole where the rain gets in
and stops my mind from wandering where it will go
I'm filling the cracks that ran through the door
and kept my mind from wandering where it will go
|
 |
 |
|
|
|
|
| |
| |
I'm
painting my room in the colourful way
and when my mind is wandering there I will go
and
it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong
I'm right where I belong
I'm right where I belong
see the people standing there who disagree and never win
and wonder why they don't get in my door
I'm
taking the time for a number of things
that weren't important yesterday and I still go
and
it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong
I'm right where I belong
I'm right where I belong
silly people run around, they worry me
and never ask me why they don't get pass my door

the
chest of maladies
[music and lyrics: urmuz]
your
heart seems to hide in the shade
in an obscene circuit of hypnosis
I have thrown all the hosannas away
standing before the altars of beforehand fortune
I'm going homeward
I hope I'll be there in time
to see your face once again
but I can't defend your hands
from the ice that's creeping
I'm trapped there too
and I don't know how we should speak again
all
the words, all the scents out there
and the notes collected as headaches
they seem to suggest a way
now
it's time for us to pay
now it's time for us to pay
