Current 93 - Black Ships in the Sky lyrics

Sudden the colours And I see peace Not as a sword But as a candle My legs were like frogs Bubble green blisters I was a dog or a calf Licking the Eucharist With my bride back lake Tigrous fibre blooming Shining like daffodils The clouds scud along the wires Left trailed hawk Mothlike your eyes Tender antennae And curious your face at Evensong Whilst the dwarves offer big faces To clipped cracked songs Dreaming of "Hey-ho, the old grey mare is dead" She died in the pantry Whistling for dead Dixie Black Ships s**ed her soul And took her to that good old-time Armageddon music Eclipsed by words I woke up this morning I woke up this morning I woke up this morning with pieces on my mind The huge tree bubbles in its arms And long processions k** the kings and cover The babies in soap paradise Pure gla** in the cactus smile Of the Madonna of Chandeliers And I do believe And I don't believe And I do believe And I don't believe In the ghosts of your eyes That call to me from trees In the muddy distances There's Black Ships in the sky Black Ships in the sky And Black Ships in my eye Black ships in my eye And snakes borrowed from the sky
