about

When you are hunted by Samurai in a circus ring, cut up and fed to the spectators for dinner. Metaphysical exploration.

lyrics

If I was good enough to eat
Would you chase me round the room?
In your silk robe of lavender
Waving your sword of doom
You could cut me up
Dissect my divination
Have a dinner party for your friends
Eat my inspiration

Because it’s more than food for thought
My body’s physical memory
Relive all my ups and downs
Remember the way things used to be

The party in my blood stream filters through my brain
Delivering all kinds of subconscious waste
It affects me day to day
But I wouldn’t change a thing, not one little bit
Coz I have an open mind about the world
I dream the weirdest shit

Would a chemical eraser bring us down?
Back down to the garden
Where life was pure and true
As the earth spins around
The sun goes up and the moon comes down
Why can’t we feel the gravitational pull
Holding us against the earth
Is that not beautiful?

For the appetizer you could serve my head
Try to digest the words those boys said
Some were of beauty, some were of love
Some crushed all my fears
Some still sit so deep inside
They are the ringing in my ears

Main course could be heart
A beat for every guest
A beat for what you all fight for
A beat left in my chest
For dessert you know what they want
A taste of something sweet
Why don’t you give them what I treasure most
Works quite a treat
I’ve kept it hidden all these years
In a rock hard outer shell
It’s my love - you can have it
Fragile as God
Hard as Hell
