Let me read your leaves
Tasseography’s all the rage now
Give me your coffee grounds
I can turn your shit life around
Don’t judge my methods pay me for my results
I stared into the abyss
The abyss stared right back at me with a puzzled look and asked me what I hoped to find
Last night I had a dream
I walked the Elysian fields hand in hand with Genghis Khan he swore he’d never do me harm
Dug out my ouija board
Held a seance in my kitchen
Talked to your ancestors
They all think that you’re a moron
I stared into the abyss
The abyss stared right back at me with a puzzled look and asked me what I hoped to find
Last night I had a dream
I ran through hellfire
Ghosts all stood in silent accusation
I feel like such a fraud

Bombers' Notebook

Sweet explosions are my sedative lullabies
Witching hour in my bombers' notebook I write
Spray my name on the walls with an aerosol can
Light it up so they'll never forget who I am
My possessions in flames I feel so in control
Hold my hand over the heat and nourish my soul
With my lighter in hand I hold a world of possibilities
An idea crosses my mind and I chuckle with a smokers' wheeze
If i ignite the house while my family sleep
I could drag them from their beds an be a hero
Cross off a tally in my bombers' notebook
Each mark a life debt I'll catch when I feel like it
If someday I go up in flames
I won't complain and I won't feel pain

Life of the Party

Vagrants and nutters and motherless fuckers
All dancing in gowns in the middle of town
Passersby float past pretend not to notice and
Keep their heads down, cast their eyes to the ground
Drinking wine some hold hands some high five
Hold their decadent festival makes quite a spectacle
Party gets giddy in the centre of the city
The drunks start to rage and the vibe starts to change
This scene's getting ugly
As friends exchange blows
Knuckles get bloodied
Hole are ripped in frocks
An absurd tableau
Vagrants and nutters and motherless fuckers
Yank each other's hair, throw their fists in the air
Some lay prostrate limbs draped across the street and
Some march in dresses clutching makeshift weapons
This scene's getting ugly
As friends exchange blows
Knuckles get bloodied
Hole are ripped in frocks
An absurd tableau

The Fourth Kind

Night so clear
Orion's belt seems so near
A car veers off from the road
Its headlights are flashing morse code
I don't feel afraid
For this day I've prayed
My life begins again
Can't say that I'll miss the old one
The car slowly approaching
It looks like nothing that I've seen
Silhouettes behind the windscreen
Friendly hands beckoning me
I don't feel afraid
For this day I've prayed
My life begins again
Can't say that I'll miss the old one
Friendly hands beckoning me

Rocketship Forest recommends:
this taco is not correct
by christian fitness
Eclectic, exciting, cryptic, inspiring, thunderous, occasionally a bit creepy. Falco is a magnificent bastard and a personal hero of mine (Thom). This record may be his best yet.

Anthems for the perverse. Rock music as it should be. Get down and dirty in the mud with Meatraffle and have a good old fucking wallow.
