Funky Girl

She's tripping out something weird
Poised to home in when home is the destination
This funky girl dubbed a cyber-queen
Earned by her virtual electric nature
Hail her thunder, she gives it everything
Hail the punter, for he who dares shall grin
Prepare the dance floor - lights to neon; white turns purple
Slash, scratch - she's on my back now
Take me to your world, my funky funky girl
She's tripping out to the groove
Prone to abuse her quota of nine-hundred seconds
Boots up her Amazon tendencies
And clears a zone to defend her throne
She screams her war cry and sweeps round to make the kill
See in her eyes - locked in and logged-on to thrill
In spite of envy, I plug into ritual reality
Slash, scratch - she's on my back now
Take me to your world, my funky funky girl
Funky girl
My far too funky girl

Gemini Bound
04:43

Peeping, revelling
Through the lens they're picture pretty
You might not like what you see, but I do
Teasing, beckoning
Lawks a-lordy, they're so frisky
You might not like what you see, but they do
So sensual and plentiful, identical and bound
Mind slide, tongue-tied
I prefer the Gemini
Mind slide, tongue-tied now
I prefer them Gemini Bound
I spy through the night
And thrill to girls behaving badly
You might not like how they play, but I do
Hell-bent and Heaven-sent
Scarlet harlots, you're so randy
You might not like it, but they do
So sensual and incredible, identical and bound
Mind, slide, tongue-tied
I prefer the Gemini
Mind slide, tongue-tied now
I prefer them Gemini Bound

Pariah

Pariah to the people
Eighteen years without a fucking clue
Crave a future, embark on alteration
All you really can do;
Dream of inclusion and all it would bring for you
You dream of inclusion and all it would bring for you
I'll wear the stoop
Just grace me with the hand of common decency
You dream of inclusion
Grace me with the hand of common decency

Flipside (Deep Cadmium)
05:03
|
|||
|
Image is nothing, but it can turn me on
It's a question of how you molest it
Flip side of costume oblivion
It's a question of how you protest it
Eat deep cadmium, sleep deep cadmium
Breathe deep cadmium for me
Love deep cadmium, live deep cadmium for me
(Think of the colours)
So I leapt in on an implausible scheme
Alas, I'm living an impossible dream
The renegade leader against the chic
May her radical cool glitter brightly
Cadmium yearnings have made me weak
I am willing for her to oblige me
Eat deep cadmium, sleep deep cadmium
Breathe deep cadmium for me
Love deep cadmium, live deep cadmium for me
(Think of the colours)
So I put faith in this incredible scheme
(Dream on)
You see, I'm living an intangible dream
(Dream on)
Far gone, real far gone
May it sparkle
May it glimmer, gleam and shine
Does the sheen please your eye?
Make it shimmer; cast the light
Eat deep cadmium, sleep deep cadmium
Breathe deep cadmium for me
Love deep cadmium, live deep cadmium for me
(Think of the colours)

Strap-on Massacre
03:59
|
|||
|
Stuck in your ways - tally the days left for you
Until the hand below ground evokes
Your passive event, utter restraint and your vow
To feel the straps pulling down hard
And I'm pleading; wanting out
But her kindling feeds your fire
And you're screaming for want of out
Is she leading a massacre?
Strap it on with lethargy
Strap it on - I'll soak up the heat
I'll strap it on you
Unfortunately, your chance to bargain just slid away
Manners in stride, she flays you alive for your vote
It's bound to breed empathy for the Marquis
Sado-M vogue, anything goes in this haunt
To suffer slings and pointed things - outrageous
And bruising doesn't taint your view
Her predatory traits will rule your pleasured breathing
It must be true
That she's leading a massacre
I'll strap it on with lethargy
Strap it on - I'll soak up your heat
I'll strap it on you
Unfortunately, your chance to bargain just slid away

Crowman, make your stand
Don't ride the underhand
Just know this is real
She's mine to steal
For what I want is yours
To caress, to adore
I've done this before
Now I want more
Crowman, raise your hands
Submit to my demands
Look - see I'm obsessed
Release what you possess
For what I want is yours
To caress, to adore
I've done this before
Now I want more
For what I want is yours
To caress, to adore
I've done this before
Now I want;
Can't you see that I want;
Don't you know that I need more

Are you a little bit shy, now?
Prepare for the pseudo-skin show
Are you still a tad coy, now?
Peel your clothes and let go
Sliding close, you grind and tease (sliding closer)
In your moves, I feel your sleaze (move in closer)
Are you a litle bit prim now?
Your writhing shouldn't prove so
You're not still a tad proper now?
There goes protocol through the window
Sliding close, you grind and tease (sliding closer)
In your moves, I feel your sleaze (move in closer)
You're laughing and singing and grooving and swinging
And exciting me with your...
Feather boa, sequins and baby oil
Feather boa, long lashes and baby oil
Feather boa, spiked heels and baby oil
In this skin show
This is our skin show
Sliding close, you grind and tease (sliding closer)
In your moves, I feel your sleaze (move in closer)
You're laughing and singing and grooving and swinging
And exciting me with your...
Feather boa, sequins and baby oil
Feather boa, long lashes and baby oil
Feather boa, spiked heels and baby oil
This is our skin show

Ground-breaking innovation, it seems
To pull this thing apart to extremes
You might think you set the rules but you're wrong
Ground-breaking innovation, it seems
To tear this thing apart to extremes
And you might think you set the rules but you're wrong
Hear shades of fusion
Hear sound solutions deep underground
But where are you coming from now?
Your stark and harboured thoughts were really meant to tip the balance
To dispel the inseparable and invincible
You can't knock that cursed creature down
(Wave to the future)
Now feast on the words you scattered too far and lead forth the martyr
'Mindless desecration' it screams
You crawl on up the garden path, inventing yet another scene
Liberties you take reflect in the state of this facade
Hear their confusion
Hear evolution now
And see where it's coming from
Your stark and harboured thoughts were really meant to tip the balance
To dispel the inseparable and invincible
You can't knock that cursed creature down
(Wave to the future)
Now feast on the words you scattered too far
Lead forth the martyr

Pheromone Fiend
03:01
|

|
Endless machinations engaging ways to get the girl
Enslave your mind to probe far deeper
Toy with a new notion, yet skirt around the obvious
You aim too high - shun the code to reach her
Shake before immersion in clouds of false charisma booster;
Gain your prize (not a hope)
Now your plain reputation is stained
It's signed and sealed and set in stone
The worms have turned, you dig out a hole
Your innocence laid bare to us all
The happy girl spurns the sad man - you're the fiend in Pheromone
In turn, you infect with chemical release
Your erstwhile scruples were better than these
Steadfast saturation, your shallow fool propels a joke
Too marred by far - you reek of failure
Begs to pass the motion; all 'ayes' condemn unsavoury rogues
A blurred faux pas, still you seek to claim her
Damn all elocution; you strive in vain behind the smokescreen
Lured by her (in your dreams)
Now your famed entertainment has waned and died for she has bid you go
The worms have turned, you dig out a hole
Your innocence laid bare to us all
The happy girl spurns the sad man - you're the fiend in Pheromone
In turn, you infect with chemical release
Your erstwhile scruples were better than these
Slapped down, you soldier on
This far, your luck has held strong
Terror of the ladies
You're the terror of the ladies

I saw an angel on the corner, dripping flowers
Splashing spiders for many hours
Seventeen streets amongst the heavens growing sour -
Liars
But only Heaven knows this was my crime
Inventing my own images and partial to parodies
And all I wanted...
Just some honest answers from these jaded senses
You know it makes me nervous to suffer these strange lapses
I saw an angel tearing pages from her history
No escape from this perfect memory
Seventeen men amongst the dancers making enemies -
Liars
But only Heaven knows this was my crime
Inventing my own images and partial to parodies
And all I wanted...
Just some honest answers from these jaded senses
You know it makes me nervous to suffer these strange lapses
I saw an angel turning rivers into rainbows
Every taste is colour to the way she flows
Seventeen kisses in the water - she knows
And all I wanted...
Just some honest answers from these jaded senses
You know it makes me nervous to suffer these strange lapses
And all I wanted; some clear-cut chances
Another way out...

Vestige & Vigil
by The Bellwether Syndicate
supported by 4 fans who also own “Gemini Bound”
In most US states, it's illegal not to get off your butt and dance to this band. The punk and deathrock roots come through, with a synth cushion. I'm a sucker for thoughtful lyrics with driving beats.

“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties.
