The Legendary Pink Dots - Soma Bath lyrics
[The Legendary Pink Dots - Soma Bath lyrics]
Powdered Heaven, dressed in plastic
Pulled the shades down on his
Eyes pinprick pupils soaring skywards
Offer him no alibis but then, who needs
Them? He's quite perfect perfect body
Perfect teeth that flash sublime and blind
The kids who spread their legs
For their belief who cross themselves
At the drop of a
Parable who shriek they're saved when
They've touched his jeans
Who swear his wisdom's just infallible
And beg for mercy in his dreams another day
Another sermon broken bread
Forgotten lines a line for comfort
Keeps him human the needle trembles
Band on tight another little
Perforation ventilates him and
Paints him white a wordless song
A prayer to no-one
Helps him whistle through the
Night they found
Him on his throne of porcelain
A rusty chain draped 'round his neck
Incapable and incoherent his eyes
Switched off but a king no less! The jury all
Wore black chewed razors witnesses
Looked DOA oD'd, amoral
Senses skewered dribbling lies and
Tooth decay they declared his
Guilt defense said nothing, sobbing as the
Judge turned blue washed their hands
Said "Lord forgive us
For we know not what we do"
Drown in your Soma Baths i said drown in your
Soma Baths what are we gonna do with you?
(We have the technology! We
Have the instruments)
Pulled the shades down on his
Eyes pinprick pupils soaring skywards
Offer him no alibis but then, who needs
Them? He's quite perfect perfect body
Perfect teeth that flash sublime and blind
The kids who spread their legs
For their belief who cross themselves
At the drop of a
Parable who shriek they're saved when
They've touched his jeans
Who swear his wisdom's just infallible
And beg for mercy in his dreams another day
Another sermon broken bread
Forgotten lines a line for comfort
Keeps him human the needle trembles
Band on tight another little
Perforation ventilates him and
Paints him white a wordless song
A prayer to no-one
Helps him whistle through the
Night they found
Him on his throne of porcelain
A rusty chain draped 'round his neck
Incapable and incoherent his eyes
Switched off but a king no less! The jury all
Wore black chewed razors witnesses
Looked DOA oD'd, amoral
Senses skewered dribbling lies and
Tooth decay they declared his
Guilt defense said nothing, sobbing as the
Judge turned blue washed their hands
Said "Lord forgive us
For we know not what we do"
Drown in your Soma Baths i said drown in your
Soma Baths what are we gonna do with you?
(We have the technology! We
Have the instruments)
