Antonin Artaud
by:
Bauhaus
The young man held a gun to the head of God
stick this holy cow
put the audience in action
let the slaughtered take a bow
The old man's words, white hot knives
slicing through worm butter
the butter is the heart
the rancid pealing soul
Scratch pictures on asylum walls
broken nails and match sticks
hypodermic, hypodermic, hypodermic
red fix
One man's poison is another man's meat
One man's agony, another man's treat
Artaud lived with his neck placed
firmly in the noose
eyes black with pain
limbs in vamps, contorted
the theatre and its double
the void and the aborted
Those Indians wank on his bones
