Achtung
Shriekback

Here I come staking out the territory
Here's my hand and here's my card
By these signs you shall know them
It's as black as it is hard
Here I am all electric elegance
With every kiss a shiver
With every shiver a kiss
Right now I feel so shiny
It's as hard and black as it is

Stop me dead
Love me lifeless
Show me a black as bright as it is hard
Kiss me stupid
Love me dead
Show me a black as bright as it is hard

Here I come sharing out the chromosome
Cancer babies of the world unite
By these signs ye shall know them
It's as hard and black as it is bright

Spent a day ringing like a telephone
Achtung, take it away
One line crowding up a polar page
So sad it could blow me away
She said soft cop, there's a hard cop
But they're both beat crazy
Yeah yeah yeah

(there's a philosophy, don't mean a lot to me
-"the value of anything is how much it hurts"-
I'm nearly but not quite almost incinerated
I can't see anything , I'm digging in the dirt
I'll take the policy if you can sell it
But I can't go to heaven for the price of a shirt
Now I'm up for decadence here is the consequence
- Who does the cleaning while I fight and flirt?)

here it is cutting out the middleman
Here's the feathers and here's the tar
Oh I'm ready that's that
That's final it's a wrap
You win come on drive me to the bar
