Malaria

Shriekback

In the dumb fat sight
Of the heavy sweaty black
Malaria night
You can tell the shit
From the essence of heaven

In the smash and grab
In the sharp attack
Dishonest night
You can say what you want
And somebody listens

There's laughter and glass and perfume and flags
And kisses and trains and roses and vaccine

I'm living in a neon house
I'm living in avalanche row
I'm living in hangover city

Whatever gets you acclimatized
Radiation and downcast eyes
Serious sight
We're looking for a world machine
Cybernetic rabies

Syndication and sympathy
My world for you but not for me
I love you best when it's all a mess
Will you lie for me, cry for me
Die for me, will you please?
Oh, never never never never never never never say no

I'm living in a neon house
I'm living in avalanche row
I'm living in hangover city
And all these unforseen things tumble down
I got a love and it won't stop burning

In the dumb fat sight
Of the heavy sweaty black
Malaria night
You can say what you want
And somebody listens

Gonna say what I really want
C'mon say what you really want
Gonna say what I really want
Yeah say what you really want

Wanna live with halo jones
Wanna home that's miles from home
Wanna drugs from the twilight zone
Wanna never never never never never never never say no
