Lyrics:

“America, I’ve given you all and now I’m Nothing” (Allen Ginsberg)

I WISH I HAD TEARS EVEN WITH NO FLAVOUR
EVEN WITHOUT ANY SMELL
I’D LIKE WRINKLES TO ADMIRE
LIKE FURROWS OF LIFE IN THE MOMENT IT DIES
A FAT TASTE OF SWEAT AND BLOOD
A MOUTH FULL OF PIECES OF HEART
TO LEARN THE BITTER PRICE
OF WHAT IT TAKES TO BUILD A MAN

A YOUNG FOOL WITH A BLASTED MIND
JUST TOO SCARED TO FIND WHAT CAN BURN MY EYES

A SUITCASE AT THE STATION
A WORN-OUT HINGE TO THE HANDLE
THEY ARE UNIQUE IMAGES OF ESCAPE AND REGRET

I WISH I HAD COLOURS THAT SHINE, GREY, BLACK AND WHITE
TO SHARE GLITTER AND GOLD
THE FACE OF A MAN FEELING THE THRILL
TO LOVE, TO SIN, TO FALL, TO BLEED, TO CRY FOR HELP,
TO BE BROKEN THEN REPAIRED IN THE HEAT OF A SHELTERED LIFE

A SUITCASE AT THE STATION, A WORN-OUT HINGE TO THE HANDLE
THEY ARE UNIQUE IMAGES OF ESCAPE AND REGRET
LEFT IN A SWIRLING CIRCLE, TOWARDS A LOST DIRECTION
TO LEARN THE PRICE OF WHAT IT TAKES TO BUILD A MAN

NO REAL DISTINCTION – OVERDOSED WITH ILLUSIONS
YELLING AT THE MIRROR – LUST FOR REBELLION
CONFORMISM – TO FILL MY DAYS

“I SAW THE BEST MINDS
OF MY GENERATION DESTROYED BY MADNESS
STARVING HYSTERICAL NAKED
DRAGGING THEMSELVES THOUGH THE NEGRO STREETS
AT DAWN LOOKING FOR AN ANGRY FIX
ANGEL-HEADED HIPSTERS BURNING
FOR THE ANCIENT HEAVENLY CONNECTION
TO THE STARRY DYNAMO IN THE MACHINERY OF THE NIGHT….”
