lyrics

Steam Dream

I knew a beast
with eyes made of smoke
he ate up my water
and had a dip in my jelly roll

He stalks by moonlight
by day in soldiers’ row
holler if you’ve seen him
but don’t let your name be known

And I knew a woman
with thighs made of steam
pistons in her torso
she’s a sex machine

But you mustn’t woo her
she’ll just leave your heart to bleed
no, you won’t seduce her
unless your oil runs clean

Come, my friend
won’t you follow me down?

Down to the solid ground?

I had a lover
who lived inside my dreams
I’d reach out to touch her
and wake up screaming

O, my love won’t you follow me down?

Down to the solid ground?

And the earth will quake with the sound
of the lifting of your shroud
