Porcupine

There is no comparison
Between things about to have been
Missing the point of our mission
Will we become misshapen?


A change of heart
Will force the nail
Nailed to the door
To all avail


There are no divisions
Between things about to collide
Hitting the floor with our vision
A focus at some point arrives


A change of mind
Will force the nail
To hit the head
And set the sail


A change of skin
Will shed the tail
Hung on the wall
For use again
A change of heart
Will force the nail...
(there is no comparison
Between things about to have been)


Smash the pig
This pork is mine
I'm pining for the pork
Of the porcupine
I'd best be on my best behaviour
Best behave yourself you hear


There are silent ways of wishing now
Wish i had what's turning round
Round the corridor
There are people there
Through the peephole i can see me down


Very nice
Some pressure feelings
You know how you hope
For something to hope for


There
What is that paper there
Paper is a collander
Collander's picking holes in me
He's ________ the holy water there
Water's paper like an impure________
A strange moment as your ______________

_______________ find out
I'm beginning to see the light

Am i the half of half-and-half
Or am i the half that's whole?
I've got to be one with all my halves
It's my worthy earthly goal
It's my worthy earthly goal
It's my worthy earthly goal


Are you the heavy half
Of the lighter me
Are you the ready part
Of the lighter me


When i came apart
I wasn't made of sand
When you fell apart
Clay crumbled in my hands
Long way a life load
Statues and haloes


Am i the half of half-and-half
Or am i the half that's whole
Am i the half that's whole
Am i the half that's whole


Are you the wrongful half
Of the rightful me
Are you the mongol half
Of the cerebral me


When i came apart
I wasn't made of sand
When you fell apart
Clay crumbled in my hands
When i came apart
I wasn't made of sand
When you fell apart
Clay crumbled in my hands


If we exercise just some control
When we exercise our sum control


Oh isn't it nice
When your heart is made out of ice
Oh isn't it nice
When your heart is made out of ice


Are you the heavy half
Of the lighter me
Are you the ready part
That has entered me


Am i the "shall" in po-ten-tial
Or am i the "suck" in "cess"
Pools of delusion
Deluge me
Am i the more or less
Am i the more or less
Am i the more or less


When i came apart
I wasn't made of sand
When you fell apart
Clay crumbled in my hands
When i came apart
I wasn't made of sand


When i was the cain
You were the abel
When i came apart
Clay crumbled in my hands

Partly politic
Heads will roll
Mostly politic
God must call
Till the winning hand does belong to me


What if no one's calling
God then must be falling


If i ever met you
In a private place
I would stare you
You into the ground
That's how i'd articulate
The value of my face
The value on my face


What if no one's calling
God then must be falling
What if no one's calling
God then must be falling
What if no one's calling
God then must be falling
What if no one's calling
God then must be falling

I'm on the chopping block
Chopping off my stopping thought
Self doubt and selfism
Were the cheapest things i ever bought
When you say it's love
D'you mean the back of love
When you say it's love
D'you mean the back of love?


We're taking advantage of
Breaking the back of love
We're taking advantage of
Breaking the back of love


Easier said than done you said
But it's more difficult to say
With eyes bigger than our bellies
We want to but we can't look away
What were you thinking of
When you dreamt that up?
What were you thinking of
When you dreamt that up?


Taking advantage of
Breaking the back of love


When you're surrounded by a simple chain of events
(behind my eyes, behind my eyes)
(your eyes don't lie)
Eventually you'll shack those shackles off
(dreams above those eyes)
(those eyes)


We can't tell our left from right
But we know we love extremes
Getting to grips with the ups and downs
Because there's nothing in between
When you say that's love
D'you mean the back of love
When you say that's love
D'you mean the back of love?


Taking advantage of
Breaking the back of love


What were you thinking of
When you dreamt that up?


We're taking advantage of
We're breaking the back of love
Breaking the back of love

How can you pretend
When there's so much at stake
That it's a different world
And your hands don't shake


At the end of the room
And the foot of the bar
We knew that soon
We'd be making our mark


Why do you defend
The part you have to take
With your fingers on the world
Hoping your hands don't shake


When you get the time
Why not think about
Connecting yours and mine
And turning in to out


Back to the bar
I was feeling it
The hole in the floor
Was where i would sit


Positions will be lost
And things will fall in place
The falling will not stop
Till we have found our face


Oh will you mention
Oh will you mention
My name to one
Oh will you mention
My name to me


Gods will be gods
But my lord forgot
I was made out of skin
Bones will be bones
But when i came home
There was no one in


So where were you staying
While i was out playing
Was nobody laying the foundation,
The fulfilling of our killing


How can you pretend
That there's so much at stake
And it's a different world
And everything shakes


I am the ______________
You're the after taste
I am total love
I am total hate


Let's face facts
We won't mind
_________of us
We will...
