LYRICS

​

GUEST ASCENDERS

 

Watch them climb

The guest ascenders of the room are spiders

At least they know what they want

Downward eyes

Swelling up like rising tides

Your luck has never run that dry

 

Chorus –

When I was a boy

I should have just ran away

But how far would I get?

Before I’m on my way back here again

 

Waking sore

Wipe the dust off ancient 26-year-old

Build it up to wash it away

Try elate

Shift a gear

Lifting fingers proves to be

As tiring as lifting fucking weights

 

Chorus reprise –

 

Watch them climb

The guest ascenders of the room are spiders

At least they know what they want

​

​

FORTUNE’S ALWAYS HIDING

 

Concrete man

Fell to dust

Lured in by eyeful
Her frozen hand he’ll kill to touch

Master plan insightful

 

She wakes to find him at her feet

He's blinded by the ecstasy

 

Lured in and tangled up

Resolution Deadman

The one way out

Conform to her

Dirty work on your hand

 

He’ll rise to meet

Her every need

He's blinded by the ecstasy

She pats the demons at her feet

 

A million laps

An endless track

The longing to go back

The tangle of the web

The pendulum will swing

While fortune’s always hiding

 

Fingertips tap in time while the pendulum swings in the hallway

Hit or Miss Powertrip

At least it’s been a nice change

At least it’s been a nice change

At least it’s been a nice change

At least it’s been a nice change

At least it’s been a nice change

​

​

GOLDEN CARROT (HORSE RACER MIX)

 

It’s true that she’ll always be

A living mystery to he

There’s too much sugar in this black coffee

Given some time it’s bound to hurt me

 

​May as well be cashing in on his pain

Just another day bleeding red again

Will he always feel a beaten slave?

And will tomorrow prove to be the same

 

Chorus –

It’s true that she’ll always be

My only light in the darkest sea

It’s been like this for centuries

Golden carrots hang in front of me

 

Swinging promised clash like bells

Send me into a dizzy spell

You won’t hear I’m sure you’ll tell

About that day the first one fell

 

Chorus reprise –

​

I’m like a stone condemned to the sea

Sinking for a week wondering what will be

Holding my breath wishing for the beach

Another swinging promise just out of reach
