Amongst the living Is where we're going to start Like a dog in a restaurant I've just learnt how to bark and bark and bark Is this electricity? Or just conspiracy? A plot with no surprises A film with no joy or love Trying to get away from Paris heat and confine In my mind, in my mind, until I see the one in white I'm alright, I'm alright until I see the one in white An evening, an evening at the X...'s An evening at the X...'s An evening at the X...'s

And this is what I saw Amongst the flora and fauna That's nature sir But some of us can fly Gripping the metal between my legs Lofting above to outer space That's not natural sir But some of us do try The roses of Bagatelle Gardens Off the beaten track is where it all happens The roses of Bagatelle Gardens And you've pricked yourself Well accidents happen Sometimes, if you get too close Or you stray too far From the Holy Ghost or Spirit whatever we call it Reason, reason's not your friend Aspirations gone, because I couldn't comprehend Or see, the world, around me The roses of Bagatelle Gardens Off the beaten track is where it all happens The roses of Bagatelle Gardens And you've pricked yourself Well accidents happen Accidents happen Accidents happen sometimes

Too much water and its consequences And I lose my mind and you smash my defenses Out under the trees in a shady place A swing of your arm and it stings my face Now everyone can be seen, everyone can observe Everyone's a voyeur, everyone's a pervert Heaven's looking down and God is above Panoptic everywhere, but my thoughts are my own

False Starts 00:52
A pick up from the floor, was it what you thought? I'm going to tell you what to think Question, response, I'll ask you just once I'm waiting for subservience A frisson some energy, go on impress me Impressive works so hard to do Reason, just tell me, if this makes you happy A focussed mind will push on through False starts I'm rushing through the door At the wrong time And I'm coming up for more A poor impression of what I was I don't mind the pressure, 'cos I'm better Ready from the start, and I'll push until we're apart I don't mind, I don't mind, when we start, I don't mind yeah.

Show the detail, no hiding Perfected by film and lighting Give me black and white, take the colour Give me art, give me hurt, give me culture You won't get more than one, you won't get more than one son You won't get more than one, you won't get more than one son Well isn't this, isn't this what we've always done since the start, since the start What the difference is, tell me your differences Take the science out and now we call it art You won't get more than one, you won't get more than one son You won't get more than one, you won't get more than one son See the image, see the photograph A modern view, if it makes you laugh Extraordinary, with a chequered past But there's no hiding from a photograph

Welled up Flash talk Back's up Confidence Looking in Projecting out I sin every day Face up Staring back Trembling Just want to chat Cut it out I cut if off I sin every day

In the fitting room I'll chop my dick right off And three's a crowd But it's better when you're around Measure and play Pain on display In the fitting room I'll lay down all my will Gratitude and say thank you I'll do it 'cos you told me to In the fitting room The fitting room.

Everything I see's alright 'Cos I know something Got to have it clean and right Or it's not nothing I don't want to pause I don't want to stop In the bathroom When you think you've seen it all We'll be having some fun In the bathroom Ideas all shot and I don't want you We'll be falling in love In the bathroom Fucking on the floor like it's fashion Falling in love just passion Wasn't even his fault He just got up in something wrong When he gets home It's like he's not even there In the bathroom When you think you've seen it all We'll be having some fun In the bathroom Ideas all shot and I don't want you We'll be falling in love In the bathroom Fucking on the floor like it's fashion Falling in love just passion

I'm hanging from the ceiling And I know, I'm sure that God will forgive me 'Cos everyone who hurt me Was only 'cos I let them So baby now it's your turn Von Frey, vers le bas a vous Manacles, candles, needles Manacles, candles, needles Tell me when the sun sets So I can leave behind Tell me when you cum so So I can tick that box Recess of the mind mind And what I want to be God is fine with With what I want to be

I'm coming up so buckle up for your safety Don't rock the boat, sail smooth like gravy Maybe once or twice, feeling light We'll go crazy, your shit don't phase me I don't get dazed easily, I go for days We don't play cause we're not some daisies I love some Jay-Z's, really love Ye's An architect and broken heart like 808 Three old fates from way back, they overrated Just jaded, I was shaking with anticipation Said I got a destiny, destined to be forever loved and hated But I got aggravated, stopped making progress Stackin up rhymes in a brain layered with sawdust Got rusty, thought lustily About busty babes with joint custody Can't just be me, with a MILF fantasy so I'll be on the beach painting pictures on my easel Take the pictures home and Fast Five like Vin Diesel Readjust the flagpole find a bunch of tadpoles Had to blow my nose so that they'll never find an egg home But everything resolves itself Bring change like ice age, frozen Waves break like I change flows and I'm on a roll, this boy is golden I'm the pound for pound champ, I'll punch a hole in the ozone Causing global warming and result in super storming Weather institute recently issued me a warning The art of instigation began with a gesture Top notch trolls, get the most not the lesser I'm impressed by the moral bankruptcy Point of view shifts like gears in a Humvee Old Presidents rotating like they deceased But you think you're too deep for me? Please Your rust is frightening, but it's exciting Because lightning's going to strike all the life from me And I was swiped from the tree prematurely Never got ripe but it might be a stroke of gen- ious, regardless, I must discard this Reward is flawed thus, My reason for living Is really deceiving, my lungs compress Just so we can keep breathing And everything resolves itself
