In the Wake of Poseidon Lyrics
Lyrics
Disc
Track
Title
- (Fripp/Sinfield)
- Concrete cold face cased in steel
- Stark sharp glass-eyed crack and peel
- Bright light scream beam brake and squeal
- Red white green white neon wheel.
- Dream flesh love chase perfumed skin
- Greased hand teeth hide tinseled sin
- Spice ice dance chance sickly grin
- Pasteboard time slot sweat and spin.
- Blind stick blind drunk cannot see
- Mouth dry tongue tied cannot speak
- Concrete dream flesh broken shell
- Lost soul lost trace lost in hell.
- (Fripp/Sinfield)
- Plato's spawn cold ivyed eyes
- Snare truth in bone and globe.
- Harlequins coin pointless games
- Sneer jokes in parrot's robe.
- Two women weep, Dame Scarlet Screen
- Sheds sudden theatre rain,
- Whilst dark in dream the Midnight Queen
- Knows every human pain.
- In air, fire, earth and water
- World on the scales.
- Air, fire, earth and water
- Balance of change
- World on the scales
- On the scales.
- Bishop's kings spin judgement's blade
- Scratch "Faith" on nameless graves.
- Harvest hags Hoard ash and sand
- Rack rope and chain for slaves
- Who fireside fear fermented words
- Then rear to spoil the feast;
- Whilst in the aisle the mad man smiles
- To him it matters least.
- Heroes hands drain stones for blood
- To whet the scaling knife.
- Magi blind with visions light
- Net death in dread of life.
- Their children kneel in Jesus till
- They learn the price of nail;
- Whilst all around our mother earth
- Waits balanced on the scales.
- (Fripp/Sinfield/McDonald)
- Lady Supermarket with an apple in her basket
- Knocks in the manager's door;
- Grooning to the muzak from a speaker in shoe rack
- Lays out her goods on the floor;
- Everything she's chosen is conveniently frozen.
- "Eat it and come back for more!"
- Lady Window Shopper with a new one in the hopper
- Whips up a chemical brew;
- Croaking to a neighbour while she polishes a sabre
- Knows how to flavour a stew.
- Never need to worry with a tin of 'Hurri Curri':
- "Poisoned especially for you!"
- No use to complain
- If you're caught out in the rain;
- Your mother's quite insane.
- Cat food cat food cat food again.
- Lady Yellow Stamper with a fillet in a hamper
- Dying to finish the course;
- Goodies for the table with a fable on the label
- Drowning in miracle sauce.
- Don't think I am that rude if I tell you that it's cat food,
- "Not even fit for a horse!"
