lyrics

can you hear them screaming?
the haunted flutes clawing
from the stuck schools
they're being banged
and smothered into plastic
sealed in white
drowned by night
I beg the moon but
shes singing

lalalalalalala

they drown the children
make them all believe
those who feel funny are
the clowns in the street
hey can you dance?
they're asking me
can you dance?
and be free
forgive this intrusion
forsaken illusion
I begged the moon again but
she just kept on

lalalalalala

drink drink drink drink
and be like
we like
right like
we like
like me
me like
I swallowed the gum
I followed the hum
I still hear them moaning
boiling in cum
mangled in cages
strangled in sex
making plans and faces
so hollowed with regrets

lalalalalalalala

can you can you dance
can you can you dance
can you can you dance
can you dance and be free?

can you can you dance
can you can you dance
can you can you dance
can you dance and be free?

they drown the children
and make them all believe
that those who feel funny are
the clowns in the street
it’s time to punt my part and
leave all this cream
drift off the river
die in my dream
forgive this intrusion
forsaken illusion
listen to the moon
let’s sing in unison

lalalalalalala

her sad eyes all knowing
her smile so forgotten
her love’s an empty question
her mouth’s a row of rotten
still I beg you see me
I'm taking off my mask
let me sing inside you
that is all I ask
while the bells slam bodies like plaster whales in pots
stoned and badly bleeding
I got drunk
and I forgot

about

Christopher Sears New York, New York

I like to play music because something happens to me and people and time and space and pain when I play music that makes me feel like I am at the theatre and also running to catch a ball and also that I am allowed to be here. That actually, its really good that Im here. I understand through song. ... more
