Mephistopheles |
| «So, what do we do here now?» |
| said the prophet to the priest |
| «I see so much confusion now we bind them with belief.» |
| «We take a little bit of honey, and put it out of reach |
| Grow fat upon their money as we promise them release.» |
| Well Adam should have never took that apple from the tree |
| Knowledge bound and tight in chains of doubt and misery |
| Bet he wishes that he’d stayed at home and spent more time with Eve |
| Colors started bleeding from the palette of his dreams |
| So, Music Mephistopheles I summon you to sing for me |
| Call you across the endless sea through deserts of eternity |
| Said I would a weaver be, and spin in sound this tapestry |
| My moods become a melody; |
| my music’s mirrors shades in me |
| Then fire splits the nada, glimpsed chance dancing in shadow |
| «Spirit, tell me where this boat goes, for I don’t know. |
| Am I wasting all my |
| time?» |
| A shadow broke the circle and a stranger took my hand |
| And he placed one palm in the ocean and the other in the sand |
| A cold, dead planet raced between a dancing moon and sun |
| Kaleidoscopes of consciousness they flicker then are gone |
| You pretty little people just the wood the fire burns |
| As ashes are to ashes, so to dust we shall return |
| A businessman awakens and puts on his suit and tie |
| Leaves the house in darkness for the 7:25 |
| And then he glimpses in the windows rows of tired, hollow eyes |
| Rubs his own and wonders, «What has happened to my life?» |
| The Director’s in the counting house counting what he’s got |
| Besides a single plastic flower in a plastic flowerpot |
| And his fat fingers snap his coins in little towers on his desk |
| «Going to brand them all like cattle put our logos on their chests.» |
| What do you think I see now when I’m looking at our lives? |
| Little fucking money puppets dancing in a line |
| I hear a newborn baby screaming and a lonely widow sigh |
| See people needing people like the spider needs the fly |
| A silent moonbeam passing through a broken windowpane |
| Desire sends you dancing like a moth into the flame |
| And that sweet mistress marijuana just ain’t treating me the same |
| I used to meet the gaze of strangers once, now I look away |
| Round me runs the traffic, and above me thunder trains |
| Sun don’t shine in London town it only seems to rain, rain, rain |
| Lightning struck the tower and the stars begin to fall |
| Wrote my name in fire with my finger on the wall |
| Call you by celebrity, by magazines, and MTV |
| Bind you in their company |
| Summon you to sing for me |
