Lyrics

The stars that shine and the stars that shrink In the face of stagnation the water runs Before your eyes Swallowing diamonds A cutting throat Your teeth when you grin Reflecting beams on tombstones A jamboree of surprises Playing Russian roulette Or the lucky dip A clenched fist to your heart Coal dust on your lungs A silver tongue for the chosen one Heavy magnum in your side Or a bloody thorn Skating bullets on angel dust In a dead sea of fluid mercury Baby piano cries Under your heavy index and thumb Pull some strings let them sing The stars that shine and the stars that shrink In the face of stagnation the water runs Before your eyes Dazzle it's a glittering prize Dazzle it's a glittering prize Before your eye It's a glittering prize The stars that shine and the stars that shrink In the face of stagnation the water runs Before your eyes
