Perfume River |
| There were no sirens, I heard no alarms |
| This situation has somehow got completely out of hand |
| It’s no illusion, it’s not a dream |
| My eyes are open and all is as appears |
| It’s a perfect nightmare |
| It’s a perfect nightmare |
| In an imperfect world |
| I missed the wake up, slept through the dawn |
| The world’s a stage but I’ve declared these curtains drawn |
| Behind the fourth wall, behind the scenes |
| A discarded fading flower on the soporific, sensual Perfume River |
| The perfect nightmare |
| Escape the perfect nightmare |
| Dream the perfect world |
| I close my mind in soft surrender |
| In quiet resignation take the lies |
| I lock the door, I lock the door |
| I junk the mail, I never open letters |
| Programme numbers that I know I’ll never call |
| Collect addresses of friends who’ll soon be strangers |
| Message pending, I know just what it says |
| Should I accept another lie? |
| I swallow all the lies |
| I live the lie |
| There are places that I know that I will never see |
| Some I wish I’d never seen before |
| The horror stalks my vision and the cries ring in my ears |
| I am helpless, I am not brave, I am alone |
| I wander the dark alleys of the citadel |
| Deserted shops and empty houses mark my way |
| Bullet holes in stuccoed walls are testimony |
| To the voices disappeared within the fear |
| Take me away to the Perfume River |
| Carry me down to the Perfume River |
| Set me adrift on a well-stocked open boat |
| Show me the way down to the Perfume River |
| Send me away down the Perfume River |
| Pour that sweet, sweet liquor down my throat |
| Fire breathing dragons swarm in sweltering skies |
| Spewing flame on innocents below |
| Charred and brittle corpses, blackened evidence |
| I am enraged, I am afraid, I am forlorn |
| The ashes from wise pages fly from libraries |
| Tumble in the clouds of smoke and flies |
| To lie as dust in corners of dark palaces |
| The fetid smell of revolution haunts the air |
| Take me away to the Perfume River |
| Carry me down to the Perfume River |
| Set me adrift on a well-stocked open boat |
| Show me the way to the Perfume River |
| Send me away down the Perfume River |
| Pour that sweet, sweet liquor down my throat |
| Pour it down my throat |
| Carry me down to the Perfume River |
| Hold me down in the Perfume River |
| Where I’ll drown my sorrows and I’ll die in hope |
| Push me away down the Perfume River |
| To the swirls and eddies of the Perfume River |
| In these dark and muddied waters just let me float |
| The truth I don’t want to know |
