Track Name: Rose-Patterned Walls
Rose rose patterned walls,
Someone said you're not all
Rose rose patterned walls,
Someone told, you're not all.
Someone said you are not right.

Rose rose patterned walls,
Vines and green things grow
Closed from any sun
Under glass
While you're gone.
Someone said you are not right.

You seemed very sweet
As you put marks on me
Vines that twine around
Ankles invisibly
Someone said you are not right.

Rose rose patterned walls...
Track Name: I Am Not Nice
I am not nice
I am an awful dream
I will not lie
I am an awful dream
I will not lie

I am not nice
but i am true
What the world does
I won't do.

a steady noise
useless electric lights
a steady noise
useless electric lights
the barkers' cries
convincing you to try
the barkers' cries
convincing you to try

I am not nice
but i am true
What the world does
I won't do.

and all along
as if they're in the room
and all along
as if they're in the room
a ruined square
where vendors never cease
a ruined square
where vendors never cease

I am not nice
but i am true
What the world does
I won't do.
I am not nice.
Track Name: The Party
The people will sparkle as much as the ice
reflecting like crystal their teeth and their eyes
their glasses refilled, their talk flashing so
there's nothing to scare me so why don't i go?

Oh decorations they all will be out
and there will be delicate food for all mouths
in the back hall hang their beautiful coats
there's nothing to scare me so why don't i go?
why don't I go?

The people will sparkle as much as the ice
reflecting like crystal their teeth and their eyes
their glasses refilled, their talk flashing so
there's nothing to scare me so why don't i go?
why don't I go?
why don't I go?

. . . the party. . .
Track Name: Gone
Although you're still the one
although you're still
Although you're still the one
you're gone
you're gone
you're gone

and this is how it is
time stretches out
and you are growing small
you're gone
keeled over by the wall
all light and sparse
the temperature is still
the faces watch
you're gone
you're gone
you're gone

You glow out of the gloom
your teeth in plums
your gorgeous ruff of fur is gone
and this is how it is
time tightens in
so sharp and scarce it always wins
you're gone
you're gone
you're gone, gone, gone
Track Name: Carnival Wearing Thin
carnival wearing thin,
carnival, wearing thin,
carnival, wearing thin
maybe you'll disappear

tea set charms
in the cogs
of the rollercoaster
tea set charms
in the cogs
of the rollercoaster

carnival wearing thin,
carnival, wearing thin,
carnival, wearing thin
maybe you'll disappear.

slot machine, all the time,
spilling out disasters
slot machine all the time
you never think it matters

carnival wearing thin,
carnival, wearing thin,
carnival, wearing thin

of the rollercoaster
of the rollercoaster
of the rollercoaster.
Track Name: Zero Years
We are living in the zero years
plenty to prove, plenty to fear
we are living in a blank in time
no one knowing what they will be named
We are living in a blank in time
no one knowing what they will be named

You can't help it you are seeing signs
that we're living in the end of times
then the only thing that can go wrong
is if the end doesn't come along
then the only thing that can go wrong
is if the end doesn't come along

We are living in the zero years
plenty to prove, plenty to fear
It's the same in every town I'm in
Zeros stretching over everything
It's the same in every town I'm in
Zeros stretching over everything
we are living in a blank in time
