Lyrics for Silence As Christine

Prophets of doom pastime arising In my mind's eye the sky smiles As the sticks are black Hitlers are appearing with Mickey Mouse ears And I'm raped with a vision Of cartoon messiahs Naked women are dancing They're offering up vases Sometimes filled with sadness Sometimes with machines A cemetery of Noddy Cats Fills up the star space Black dogs are barking And white doves are laughing This is how the silence Manifests as Christine This is how the silence Manifests as Christine Black geese are dying And white geese are dying And dun geese are dancing Then fading to dying Whilst the sound of child's laughing Overflows kindness Stephens appears As the essence of smoke Balanced appears Incarnate as earth star Douglas comes whining Muscled yet dead set Christ hovers round me Moistened and misty The sky is metallic It's trembling and savage This is how the silence Manifests as Christine This is how the silence Manifests as Christine All this is not real All this is not real First the light's obscured It's besom械d with darkness The twilight is distant The 械arth's form is blistering Now, now, now The silence speaks And before my eyes Sightless not shifting Immaculate comes Christine Manifest as silence And then through the forest And there through the forest With a rushing and whining And a wing cutting starlet This is how the silence Manifests as Christine This is how the silence Manifests as Christine
