The Legendary Pink Dots - So Gallantly Screaming lyrics
[The Legendary Pink Dots - So Gallantly Screaming lyrics]
D'archangel rises with eyes that accuse a
Bouquet of black orchids for you
As you weep in the ruins
Of all that you knew
Of all that you cherished
Of all you possessed it's a mess! And
The message is scrawled on the wall
It says God bless what's
Left and what's right?
And what's wrong? Well
We still have the songs - but where are you
Gershwin now that we need you? God how we
Need you and down in the city
Of heartbreak and needles
A needle is rammed and a new dream begins and
The subway's a hospital - beds on the
Tracks and the victims are cracked
Under bandages
Wrapped in their oxygen tents
Looking tense because the
Doctor's demented and holding a pin
And if they cry out, he'll hammer it
In yes
Gershwin is grinning God how I need you right
Now watch Washington wash in what's left
Of the Whitehouse hear Hendrix
Make love to his ghost hear Abraham
Martin and John sing a song as they
Snip at your hair
As they butter their toast fred
Astaire sings along as
He skips down the stairs of the Pentagon
Gone! It's all gone - the american dream
Christ, it's only a dream but where are you
George? Now that we need you
Bouquet of black orchids for you
As you weep in the ruins
Of all that you knew
Of all that you cherished
Of all you possessed it's a mess! And
The message is scrawled on the wall
It says God bless what's
Left and what's right?
And what's wrong? Well
We still have the songs - but where are you
Gershwin now that we need you? God how we
Need you and down in the city
Of heartbreak and needles
A needle is rammed and a new dream begins and
The subway's a hospital - beds on the
Tracks and the victims are cracked
Under bandages
Wrapped in their oxygen tents
Looking tense because the
Doctor's demented and holding a pin
And if they cry out, he'll hammer it
In yes
Gershwin is grinning God how I need you right
Now watch Washington wash in what's left
Of the Whitehouse hear Hendrix
Make love to his ghost hear Abraham
Martin and John sing a song as they
Snip at your hair
As they butter their toast fred
Astaire sings along as
He skips down the stairs of the Pentagon
Gone! It's all gone - the american dream
Christ, it's only a dream but where are you
George? Now that we need you
