Fury Eyes

Punch me Judy, make me cry
You'll disappear, and then I'll die
A love that's lost always returns 
To feed the fire of a heart that burns

There's no sleep for fury eyes
So deep are the eyes of fury

Watching faces changing places
Running rings around the moon
Exchanging glances, taking chances
Did we laugh and sing too soon

Our stomachs turn on a fever stream
but with no mosquito bite
Rabid kisses in a dream
still we can't escape the sight

There's no sleep for fury eyes
So deep are the eyes of fury

Tonight they exorcise the ghost 
of love from its unyielding host
If that don't suit you, scream and shout
If thine offend thee, pluck it out

Alone in love with the other one
The one who doesn't know
And when we dance with the other one
The eyes of fury glow...

Tonight they exorcise the ghost
of love from its unyielding host
If that don't suit you, scream and shout
If thine offend thee, pluck it out

Who'll weep for the fury eyes
Beholding love a thing of beauty
There's no sleep for fury eyes
So deep are the eyes of fury

 

Fruitman

Old man sits in an apricot tree
He sees I and I sees he
Old man sweet as the fruit he's picking
Knows the rhythm of nature's ticking

Gives a smile of tooth and metal
Winks an eye like a falling petal
Face a furrowed field of life tracks
The years of the living knife 

He I love, he I know
Seasons come, so fruitman go

Through the crowd I enter in
See the head of virgin skin
Frail the old man's hand I take
Peace be with you Sunday shake

Sweet old man he turns to me
Tries to tell me what's to be
He don't say no words at all
Tears from him like fruit do fall

He I love, he I know
See sons that come, so fruitman go

 

Untiedundone

Slide over here, listen to me
Rippling wordstreams to unlock dreams
Take up the slack... loosen these bonds
Unzip and undo, untie my tongue

Untiedundone

It's sucking out bones through a melting phone
In a whispering eddy, I am undone

Untiedundone

Turning to liquid, starting to float
Everything's easy from now on

Untiedundone

Unhook and unhinge in a river of dreams
Rippling wordstreams unraveling
Uncork the wine let's toast the unborn
It's my unbirthday, untied and undone

Unwrap this gift in a state of undress
The future's uncertain, nothing less

Untiedundone

 

Simoom

Drifting in, carried on dry winds
From across the Nile, the sirens in exile
Driven to tell...

Floating on a cloud, your face out of the crowd
A blinding sun, purging everyone
Beautiful word, musical and sweet
Now all you can do is play the punishing beat

How harsh and shrill the word has become
Twisted and bent -- a hornet's nest stirred up by the beating stick

Simoom, simoom... increasing speed
Sucking in dry heat
Simoom, simoom... you breathe in suffocation
Relentless simoom, blow and whistle this tune
Pouring in, filling where once was space
Where once was light
Where once was a face
Driven to tell.

 

Strolling Wolf

At dusk, though wheat field
Through the olive groves and vineyards
Insects like aeroplanes fly past the strolling man
Crackling spike plant hovering hawk
All on the ground alive
Take a swig of moonshine
Listen to the madness whine
Andalucian
Andalucian sunflowers, bulls, and purple bees
Listen to the lone wolf strolling
Take a swig of moonshine
Taste this heady wine
Andalucian
Andalucian sunflowers, bulls, and purple bees
Lone wolf howling, lone wolf howling
Strolling wolf
Strolling lone wolf
Andalucian

 

Venus Sands

The morning star has long since gone
The sun is high in the sky
Shadowless a figure stands
Stranded on Venus sands

Up in the blue and circling
The seabirds watch and wait
For movement of a certain kind
Down on their dinner plate

Where children played a flower lays
Pulled and torn up by its roots
And where it stood, 
the empty space just screams...

Down on the flats, baby turtles race
For safety of the big deep
And white caps come crashing in
Indifferent to tender flesh

Shriek of attack, then moving in
A raucous clash, a gourmet din
Of cruel gull beaks
And tearing skin... screaming

Lit by the evening star at Venus sands
Against a blood orange sky
There's a shadow of a figure prone
Abandoned and all alone
Venus sands

 

Morriña

The crescent flight of the moon
Casts a pleasant light on my skin
Soothing satellite cruise
Moving on again

Distant trains on the breeze
Distant throats start to freeze
Tearful eyes growing dim
Moving on again

Cats that sound like babies crying
Magpie feathers in the rain
Christmas in your hair reclining
Moving on again
We are moving on again...
