about

May 2008. Drums and guitars through the BR1200CD and nice flanger from the Marshall 100W amp I had.

lyrics

sometimes her vacant stare
of a 1000 yards
underlines her loneliness

someone just like you
made me look like a fool
when I wrote a song about it

she's got a perfect disguise
when she closes her eyes
and I can't get into her head

no-one really knows
why you wanted to go
when he had already left

and fire burns inside but still,
you keep on extinguishing it
oh, kindling wasn't fired at will

she seems to know
I need her now, I need her so
and jet flames burn me down real slow
her silhouette gives me the final blow

God has seen the prison camps
her gassed body was all I had in my hands
and seven white doves descended or crashed
as the Saviour cracked and ascended real fast
and He doesn't give a shit about you
'cause he's your most imaginary friend
and I will care a lot about you
'cause I do, in the end I'm your one true friend

I'm the God of typhoid fever,
I'm the God of colon cancer,
I'm the God of fucking things up yeah,
I'm the God, you animal
