LYRICS

Anima Animus:
(all songs written by The Creatures)

2nd Floor

Apartment door
is left ajar
An eye in the glass
on the parquet floor
All the guests
have left and gone
But I'm still here
on the 2nd floor

2nd floor
and I still want more
2nd floor

Aftermath
in an amber glow
A vodka bath
for this shipwrecked soul
Seconds fly
as the years flow by
But I don't care
I'm on the 2nd Floor

2nd floor
and I still want more
2nd floor
Why fear death
When death never hurt no one
2nd floor

Disconnected

Don't you think it funny
Don't you think it sad
I was thinking of you
Thinking frozen land
Make the heart grow fonder
Don't make it separate
Just a small reminder
a keepsake

And when you're feeling sad
Can't imagine happiness
And when you're feeling glad
Alaska shows her greedy hand

Don't you think it funny
Don't you think it sad
Starting to fade in Siberian land
In Siberia...

Just when your comforted
Just when you start to breathe
The winter pounces
like a band of thieves
O, the pain of joy
O, the joy of pain
Zoom in
zoom out
cut
pullback
fade to black

You're disconnected
disconnected

Make the heart grow fonder
then obliterate
Just a small reminder
a keepsake
Don't you think it funny
Don't you think it sad
Nothing left of you in this arctic land
In Antarctica

Turn It On

All you rely on
Here come the storms
To shatter control
from the war lords
Can you feel the power?
It turns me on
Unpredictable
Turn it on

Turn it on
Feel the power
Invincible

Won't play their games
But we're a playful thing
Everything to risk
Everything to sink
Gonna change what I can
Accept what I can't
Because I've got the power
Chameleon

Turn it on
Feel the power
Unpredictable
Feel the power
Untamable
Turn it on

Hurricane and earthquake
Monsoons and tidal wave
Here come the storms
They really turn me on
Unpredictable
Turn it on
It turns me on

Turn it on
Omnipotent
Unpredictable
Untamable
Invincible
Chameleon
Turn it on
Take Mine

Dog in the manger
Happy days
Why don't you
Take it all
Take what is left
Take mine

Counting out
And putting nothing in
You calculate
And multiply your sins
Take mine

I know you
Scared to be alone
If I were you
I would be, too
Take mine

Ruled by this
It needn't be this way
Your misery
Seeking company
Take mine

Are you happy now?

Say

I heard the news today
Billy's gone away
Left us all for good
No one understood

You only had to say
I would understand
You only had to say
Whatever come what may

I was feeling low
You called, and you were, too
We'd meet Saturday
It happened on Wednesday

You only had to say
It's sad
I would understand

I don't want you brave
A truce we made today
If you're feeling sad
On me, you can depend

You only have to say

I Was Me

I can't tell how it all
First began
Just a face at a window
Familiar
So I walked up to see that I was wrong
That's when I first asked if
I was me

Same lips, same hair
The same stare
When she laughed, she was sipping
My favorite drink
With a friend I had known since my birth!
It's not fair I was me

Everywhere that I go
I see me
In a life that I had
Not long ago
I'm not recognized or heard, but I swear!
I was me I was me
I was me!

I walk through the dawn
In a daze
Same lips same hair
The same stare
It's on the tip of my tongue Oh, oh yeah
I swear I was me
I was me!
I remember when
I was me!

I can't tell how it all
First began
Just a face at a window
Familiar
I was me

Prettiest Thing

I am gone I am sold
Can I take her home while I am sleeping?
I put it on Fits so well
Dead fish floating up to the ceiling

She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Such a beautiful violence moving in
She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Prettiest thing I'm moving in

I put it on It fits my soul
You know she spoke these words
While she was sleeping

Razor's edge sliding in
Razor's edge
Wanna feel my fingers dipping in
Dip in

She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Such a beautiful violence coming in
Dip in
She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Such a beautiful violence moving in
She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Never say never do it again
Dip in

She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Prettiest thing I'm moving in
She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Prettiest thing I'm coming in

Exterminating Angel

Here it comes again
Taste of jagged glass and rusty can
There are just black holes
Where the stars would be watching
Just black holes
Where the stars should of have been

Plumes of dirt
Caress a urine coloured sun
Swarms of angels
Come to kill your sons
And there's nothing but black holes
Where the stars should've been
Nothing but black holes
Where the stars would be watching

Oh the strange argonauts
Digging again in your pit
Cover them in menstrual stream
Cover them black gold
Plunge them onto ingots
Ripping through your mentrual stream
Rising up taste of rusty can
And jagged glass feeling again
Here it comes again

Hordes of locusts blot out your sun
Raining down rain on everyone
Poor little rich thing
Poor little bleeding hearts
Poor little misunderstood
Piss on it I'm sick of it
Enough is enough
I wanna fuck it up
In spite of it
Just for the hell of it
I wanna fuck it up

Out of sync out of phase
Out of sight out of spite
Raining down raining everyone
Poor little rich thing
Poor little bleeding hearts
Poor little misunderstood
Piss on it I'm sick of it
Enough is enough
I wanna fuck it up
For the hell of it
Well, it makes me laugh
In spite of it
Out of sync out of phase
Out of sight out of spite
Piss on it I'm sick of it

Here it comes again
Taste of jagged glass and rusty can
There are just black holes
Where the stars should've have been
Just black holes
Where the stars would be watching

Another Planet

I'm here
On another planet
How's it with you
On your planet?

All was surreal on this planet
I felt so regal It was so romantic

Now it's all changed
And the plot's unfolding
Another fairy tale
With a twisted end

They're coming out the walls
They're seeping in
There's armies of them crawling
They're coming in

Satellite above
Looks down unblinking
Satellite of thought
Unthinking

They're coming out the walls
They're seeping in
Three odd eyed tentacles
Speak in forked tongues
Sprouting all over me
And blossoming
I'm breaking out the walls
I'm coming in

I'm here
On another planet
How's it with you
On your planet?

Satellite above
Looks down unblinking
Satellite of thought
Unthinking...

Don't Go To Sleep Without Me

Don't you go
Without me
Don't go
And
Leave me here
When I lie
On my side
Feel my heart
Being crushed
Falling through
The spaces
Falling through
An unlit scene

Sleep dust
On
Your eyelids
Mahjong tiles
Flicker serene
Play the four winds
In
Dim lit bars
Aqualung feels
Heavy

Don't you go
Without me
Don't you go
And
Leave me here


Sad Cunt

Such a sad boy
With your lost voice
In a letter box
Mailed second class

Into the 21st century
With a lackluster cast of a b movie
Got no mouth, but you need to scream
You're sad
You're sad

Ah, stir it up from the permafrost
You're in the Kellogg's box
Meet the Stepford kid

Into the 21st century
Got no mouth, but you need to scream
You're sad, boy
You're sad, boy
You're sad, boy
You're sad

If you wanna live forever
You're gonna have to die first
Want your lover for a mother
Meet the dildo kid

Into the 21st century
Got no mouth, but you need to scream
You're sad
You're sad
You're sad, boy
You're sad

Sad boy
With your lost voice
In a letter box
Mailed second class

Into the 21st century
Got no mouth, but you need to scream
You're sad
You're sad
You're sad, boy
You're sad, boy
You're sad, boy
You're sad, boy
You're sad, boy
Sad

Murdering Mouth
(Sioux/Cale)

Like a typewriter tearing through the paper
Your shark's grin teeth bite down never smiling
And at the center there's always you my darling
Yes at the center always you my dear

Your murdering mouth is forever hungry
Your murdering mouth leering at me
Your murdering mouth relentlessly pounding
Your murdering mouth takes aim at me

Point blank bullets flying straight through me
Shatter light fields that never harm me
Multiple stab wounds yet no bleeding
No bleeding, never any healing

These open wounds that fester and rupture
These open wounds under merciless attack
I only asked you if what you say is true dear
I only asked you if what you do is fair

Your murdering mouth is forever hungry
Your murdering mouth leering at me
Your murdering mouth grinding and snapping
Your murdering mouth pointed at me

I'm lying dead here staring at the ceiling
I'm lying dead here yet there is no crime scene
Multiple stab wounds there's always you my darling
White jagged opening closing

At the center always you my darling
At the center always you my dear
At the center always you my darling
At the center always you my dear
At the center always you my darling
At the center always you my dear
At the center always you my darling
At the center always you my dear
At the center always you my darling
At the center always you my dear
At the center always you my darling
At the center always you my dear
At the center always you my darling
At the center always you my dear
At the center always you my darling
At the center always you my dear
At the center
At the center
At the center
At the center always you my darling
At the center always you my dear
At the center always you my darling
At the center always you my dear
At the center

Broken

Broken...
Why concede?
Broken...
Crumbling with grief
Broken...
I don't believe...you're broken

You've given up turned it in on yourself now
Thought it was out but outward in
What's the point you can't be bothered
To be consoled, to be absolved

You're broken...
Fingers bleed
Broken
Porcelain in pieces
Broken
Your head between my knees
Broken...

You've given up turned it in on yourself now
Thought it was out but outward in
What's the point you can't be bothered
To be consoled, to be absolved

You're broken
So broken
Broken
So broken

By a cowardly embrace
It was sealed with a kiss
By a charmer's face

Ahhh...

A dissonance left scarred but tattered
About your face your haunted face
And in disgust you turn dejected
Can't be consoled...can't be absolved

You're broken
Crippled in a heap
Broken
With dreams that you won't sleep
Broken
Beggar in the street

Broken
A dissonance left scarred but tattered
Broken
About your face, your haunted face
Broken
And in disgust you turn dejected
Broken
Can't be consoled...can't be absolved
You're broken
Why concede?
Broken
I don't belive
Broken
Crippled in a heap
You're broken

Broken...Broken...Broken...Broken...

All She Could Ask For

All she could ask for
How could she want more?
Down by the river her body lies cold
Dream me an empire
Dream the ocean floor
Dream me an alibi
Dreaming her once more

And rise my reflection
An' rise rivers dance
An' rise new devotion
An' rise my defensor
Glistening sculpture
How statuesque
Eyes so overwhelming
I catch my breath

Only the river, my only home
I'll die beside her
I'm going home

Down by the river her body lies cold
All she could ask for
How could she want more?
How could she want more?
How could she want more?
