Another transcription. All unknown words are followed by a question mark in parenthesis, (?). Some other phrases are guessed and are most likely incorrect. If anyone knows them please feel free to let me know, thank you. The Legendary Pink Dots - Taos Hum 1. Salem They are splashing the petroleum. They’re stacking up the wood. Rubber rings with man-sized coals they hide under their woods. I see torches, torches, in a line - they’re singing hymns and singing wine. Never has a petty crime been so damn entertaining! Salem, Salem - tired as (?) she points at you, dissolves in sand. Salem, Salem - let’s invade them, nothing to invest except our righteousness! Mary, Mary stands accused of kissing bees(?) in rubber shoes. Thick black blood drips from the moon and writes another harvest. We are starving and it’s down to you, your children, and your children’s children - who will cast the first stone? You? YOU?!?! I mean YOU!!! (Salem, Salem - fancy that, he fed his master to a bat. Salem, Salem - don’t inhale, he’ll feed your mother to a whale Salem, Salem - let’s impale ‘em! Let’s slay ‘em! Flay ‘em!) 2. Ash & Sand Burning man. Burning man. Feels the blisters, sees the land. This Burning Man. Burning Man. Can hear the whispers, spreads his hands - embraces all that nothingness, the void, the space between. This Burning Man, the rest - the fire that awaits him. Through the valleys, on the crests, it’s bugs and sand and nothing less. Turn west young man. Turn west young man. Go! I hear folks out in Santa Cruz drink cola as they barbecue their pets. Ahh…Oh Burning Man. Burning Man. Your kingdom for my feisty mule - the festival is over - Go! Just go home… 3. Divine Resignation Part 3 How many many stars must die to set your world on fire? How many many moons ago since we satisfied your desire? You need your space inside the wire, cameras fixed on gleaming spires - missiles poised while we pariahs crawl over each other. Oh, that towering toxic pyramid, that faceless sea of slime. The great unwashed, the land-fill, mouth-full - ain’t it just a crime? Your perfect view has been perverted… 4. No Time for Change The worst job in this wicked world’s all mine. I man this toll booth at the edge of time. The traffic crawls. A cool green light invites them to a highway with no exits, and no reception on the radio. Feel lights blinking, blinking through the endless night. So tired now but just can’t stop. No lay bys only cops. Cops with sirens. Cops with guns. Cops. Cops wading through the accidents piled high. But on the other side. Just drive. You paid, so you will get there. At least, that’s what I tell them. I lie. Lies, lies, damn the lies… 5. The Piper On this auspicious afternoon we’ll solve the problem - clear the room. Last man standing swings the vote. The first man sleeping murmurs, “No!” Ignore him! Gag him! Make a show of unity! Don’t hear me. The people have decided. The people have decided. On me! I may look smug, and quite well groomed, but trust me I am just like you. There’s mouths to feed. The kids need shoes. The harpsichord needs tuning. Downstairs there’s talk of revolution, mad old Uncle wants to shoot them. I prefer electrocution, but keep it in my hat. Because the people have decided. The people have decided. On me! They decide and Im flattered. Im the Cheshire Cat that ate the cheese that trapped the rat, so many many many rats! So many many many rats - on me! People I’m surrounded People I’m surrounded. Save me! Good people, I’m surrounded… 6. Premonition 40 *Soundscape*
