The Legendary Pink Dots - Our Dominion lyrics
[The Legendary Pink Dots - Our Dominion lyrics]
From 15 shades of dog's dust
We fell in fields of flowers
Felt like dancing in the dusk
But didn't have the power now we had a place
It wasn't much, but it was ours
We called it Our Dominion
Built a cabin on a crest
Spent evenings in your eyes
You'd tell me tales of noble quests
I'd sing you lullabys
We'd sleep beneath those triple moons
Entwined beside the fire truly, Our Dominion
And from a cloudless sky
Our friends descended wearing silver wings
They'd heard the sound of distant laughter
Read our thoughts in smoky rings
Sure enough, they liked it here
Sure enough, they all moved in
They called it their extension
Someone said "Get organized! We'll
Prosper if we scheme!" he opened a casino
He pumped fluoride in the stream
They named a plaza in his honour
Shit, they keep it clean
From each and every angle
Highways grew from holes in hell
They numbered all the houses
Built a thousand black hotels
Demolished our poor cabin
We relocated to a cell we called it "space"
They taxed the air, the earth
The little birds up in the trees
They fined us for a kiss in public
We paid up when we sneezed
And soon the place was richer than
Pope Pious Avocado I I I
And all his dominion
The city climbed the mountain
The mountain sped on skateboards to the sea
They lined up
Mouthed a dozen Holy Marys on their knees
The waters opened wide, they planted flags
And in they dived
Time to fly away again
Was all too claustrophobic
We shuffled to the park
But it was fence-to-fence aerobics
Thunder clapped, it rained black boiling bile
And we fled soaking back
Still there is a place deep
Down inside your soul where only I can go
There's a place deep down inside my soul
Where you can go
Call it "Home"
Our Dominion

But didn't have the power now we had a place
It wasn't much, but it was ours

You'd tell me tales of noble quests

We'd sleep beneath those triple moons
Entwined beside the fire truly, Our Dominion
And from a cloudless sky
Our friends descended wearing silver wings
They'd heard the sound of distant laughter

Sure enough, they all moved in
