I found her on a night of fire and noise Wild bells rang in a wild sky I knew from that moment on I'll love her till the day that I died And I kissed away a thousand tears My lady of the Various Sorrows Some begged, some borowed, some stolen Some kept safe for tomorrow On and endless night, silver star spangled The bells from the chapel went jingle-jangle Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Like I love you? She was given to me to put things right And I stacked all my accomplishments beside her Still I seemed so obselete and small I found God and all His devils inside her In my bed she cast the blizzard out A mock sun blazed upon her head So completely filled with light she was Her shadow fanged and hairy and mad Our love-lines grew hopelessly tangled And the bells from the chapel went jingle-jangle Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Like I love you? She had a heartful of love and devotion She had a mindful of tyranny and terror Well, I try, I do, I really try But I just err, baby, I do, I error So come find me, my darling one I'm down to the grounds, the very dregs Ah, here she comes, blocking the sun Blood running down the inside of her legs The moon in the sky is battered and mangled bAnd the bells from the chapel go jingle-jangle Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Like I love you? All things move toward their end I knew before I met her that I would lose her I swear I made every effort to be good to her I made every effort not to abuse her Crazy bracelets on her wrists and her ankles And the bells from the chapel go jingle-jangle Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Like I love y |
Onward! And Onward! And Onward I go Where no man before could be bothered to go Till the soles of my shoes are shot full of holes And it's all downhill with a bullet This ramblin' and rovin' has taken it's course I'm grazing with the dinosaurs and the dear old horses And the city streets crack and a great hole forces Me down with my soapbox, my pulpit The theatre ceiling is silver star spangled And the coins in my pocket go jingle-jangle Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? There's a man in the theatre with girlish eyes Who's holding my childhood to ransom On the screen there's a death, there's a rustle of cloth And a sickly voice calling me handsome There's a man in the theatre with sly girlish eyes On the screen there's an ape, a gorilla There's a groan, there's a cough, there's a rustle of cloth And a voice that stinks of death and vanilla This is a secret, mauled and mangled And the coins in my pocket go jingle-jangle Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? The walls in the ceiling are painted in blood The lights go down, the red curtains come apart The room is full of smoke and dialogue I know by heart And the coins in my pocket jingle-jangle As the great screen crackled and popped And the clock of my boyhood was wound down and stopped And my handsome little body oddly propped And my trousers ride down to my ankles Yes, onward! And upward! And I'm off to find love Do you love me? If you do, I'm thankful Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? This city is an ogre squatting by the river It gives life but it takes it away, my youth There comes a time when you just cannot deliver This is a fact. This is a stone cold truth. Do you love me? I love you, handsome. But do you love me? Yes, I love you, you are handsome Amongst the cogs and the wires, my youth Vanilla breath and handsome apes with girlish eyes Dreams that roam between truth and untruth Memories that become monstrous lies So onward! And Onward! And Onward I go! Onward! And Upward! And I'm off to find love With blue-black bracelets on my wrists and my ankles And the coins in my pocket go jingle-jangle Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? |
Welcome to ipernity!

I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms
And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms
And I believe in Love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candlew burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms
