If this be ecstasy divine I must confess that I have seen it many times As prayers from parted lips emerge With parted thighs and urgent cries a tender heart is turned Every princess needs her pea.... To work it's way into her spine for all eternity You are privaledged I'm sure To be so distant And demure Pure of thought and free To chase your curiosities You are comforted, no doubbt To never be without Companions that will keep you free Of life's complexities Every princess needs her pea.... To work it's way into her spine for all eternity You sampled all the boys and them wanting You sampled all the girls and found them tragically vain Refrain, refrain, this priestly virtue Maintain, maintain, this little death's delight Now entertain the thought that might defeat you Sustain this moment lest you suffocate on silent woes that permeate the night Suffering the throes of holy light If this be exctasy divine I must confess that I have seen it many times Every princess needs her pea.... To work it's way into her spine Define her fragile magesty Identify the royal source of all of her perversities And keep the royal candle burning deep into the night Sensation burns, it twists and binds [Sensation bright?] Far less so than the void it leaves behind

Fireflies 04:48
upon this swiftly tilting planet young creatures struggling to stand damp bodies glistening and gleaming, seeking out purchase Bright feathers fanning, spreading over the land And night we herald with our voices Tangled melodies ephemeral and strange To greet dark shadows flicking and dodging into the darkness And grace their hungry vision, naked and shamed And we are fireflies We are scouring the landscape for our friends And we will walk this road forever We will never make amends And we are young immortals We are challenging the titans to this throne And we are in this fight together We will never walk alone And such a flame around which we are reeling A shifting axis struggling to align the landscape shuddering and heaving, lurching and sliding Searching and calling, shrieking divine And we are new We are unmade in daylight now subdued drifting slowly out of range Silent and shaking, speaking only in whispers Rattled and shaken, empty and strange And we are fireflies We are scouring the landscape for our friends And we will walk this road forever We will never make amends And we are young immortals We are challenging the titans to this throne And we are in this fight together We will never walk alone And I am in ecstasy Mouth agape eyes roll back in my head And yours is shrieking breath inside of me (roll ahead, roll ahead)
