Siberia's SATB Miscellaneous Lyrics

20th Century Boy

Friends say he's fine
Friends say he's good
Everybody says he's just like Robin Hood
I move like a cat
Talk like a rat
Sting like a bee
Babe, I wanna be your man
Well it's plain to see you were meant for me
I'm your toy
Your 20th century boy
20th century toy
I wanna be your boy
20th century toy
I wanna be your boy
Friends say he's fine
Friends say he's good
Everybody says he's just like Robin Hood
Fly like a plane
Drive like a car
Hold out your hand
Babe, I wanna be your man
Well it's plain to see you were meant for me
I'm your toy
Your 20th century boy
20th century toy
I wanna be your boy
20th century toy
I wanna be your boy

Are You Still Dying Darling?

Are you still dying darling?
Are you still in pain?
Are you still crying?
Despite the morphine in your veins
A fluorescent haze hangs and for a second
Makes you invisible but you try in vain
To reach out through the life-support machine
And all the multicoloured tubes that pump and drain
Are you still dying darling?
Are you still dying darling?
All this wasting away
All this prolonged misery and all this
Stripping away your dignity is killing me
That expression on your face
Pleading through your agony
Are you still dying darling?
Are you still sighing?
Shall I end it for you?
You'll see I'll make it easy for you
Just one link and I'll help you to break through
When never-never land beckons to you
You can dance with Peter Pan
Make rings around the moon
Are you still dying darling?
Are you still dying darling?
No more injections
No more medications
No more complications for you
Lessen the load for you
No more, no more, no more
No more are you still dying darling?
Are you still dying darling?

Dear Prudence

Dear Prudence
Won’t you come out and play?
Dear Prudence
Greet the brand new day
The sun is up
The sky is blue
It’s beautiful
And so are you
Dear Prudence
Won’t you come out to play?
Dear Prudence
Open up your eyes
Dear Prudence
See the sunny skies
The wind is low
The birds will sing
That you are part of everything
Dear Prudence
Won’t you open up your eyes?
Look around, round, round, round, round
Look around, round, round, round, round
Look around, round, round, round, round
Look around
Dear Prudence
Let me see you smile
Dear Prudence
Like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see your smile again
Dear Prudence
Won’t you let me see you smile?
Dear Prudence
Won’t you come out and play?
Dear Prudence
Greet the brand new day
The sun is up
The sky is blue
It’s beautiful
And so are you
Dear Prudence
Won’t you come out to play?
Look around, round, round, round, round
Look around, round, round, round, round
Look around, round, round, round, round
Oh look around, around

Face to Face

Face to Face
My lovely foe
Mouth to mouth
Raining heaven’s blows
Hand on heart
Tic tac toe
Under the stars
Naked as we flow
Cheek to cheek
The bitter sweet
Commit your crime
In your deadly time
It’s too divine
I want to bend
I want to this bliss
But something says I must resist
Another life
Another time
We’re Siamese twins
Writhing intertwined
Face to face
No telling lies
The masks they slide
To reveal a new disguise
You can never win
It’s the state I’m in
This danger thrills
And my conflict kills
They say follow your heart
Follow it trough
But how can you
When it’s split in two?
And you’ll never know
You’ll never know
One more kiss
Before we die
Face to face
And dream of flying
Who are you?
Who am I?
Wind in wings
Two angels falling
To die like this
With a last kiss
It’s falsehood’s flame
And it’s a crying shame
Face to face
The passions breathe
I hate to stay
But then I hate to leave
And you’ll never know
You’ll never know

Fireworks

The body is wrapped in shadow
The face is built of cinders
And panic tears through your silhouette
As you’re squeezed by burning fingers
And he’s crackling in our colours
With teeth of gelignite
When he sighs his song and pirouettes
Through a dance of dynamite
We are fireworks
Slowly, glowing
Bold and bright
We are fireworks
Burning shapes
Into the night
His fuel is our frustration
And dreams begin to ache
And all the while we wear a party smile
And happily we shiver
Happily we shake
Oh, shake, shake shake!
We are fireworks
Slowly, glowing
Bold and bright
We are fireworks
Burning shapes
Into the night
Twist and turn
Burn, burn, burn!
Twist and turn
Burn, baby, burn!

Hong Kong Garden

Harmful elements in the air
Symbols crashing everywhere
Reap the fields of rice and reeds
While the population feeds
Junk floats on polluted water
An old custom to sell your daughter
Would you like number 23?
Leave your yens on the counter please
Hong Kong Garden
Tourists swarm to see your face
Confucius has a puzzling grace
Disoriented as you enter in
Unleashing scent of wild jasmine
Slanted eyes meet a new sunrise
A race of bodies small in size
Chicken Chow Mein and Chop Suey
Hong Kong Garden take away
Hong Kong Garden

Israel

Come to Israel
Little orphans in the snow
With nowhere to call a home
Start their singing, singing
Waiting through the summertime
To thaw your hearts in wintertime
That’s why they’re singing, singing
Waiting for a sign
To turn blood into wine
The sweet taste in your mouth
Turned bitter in its glass
Israel...in Israel
Shattered fragments of the past
Meet in veins of the stained glass
Like the lifeline in your palm
Red and Green reflects the scene
Of a long forgotten dream
There were princes
And there were kings
Now hidden in disguise
Cheap wrappings of lies
Keep your heart alive
With a song from inside
Even though we are alone
We are never on our own
When we’re singing, singing
There’s a man who’s looking in
And he smiles a toothless grin
Because he’s singing, singing
See some people shine with glee
But their song is jealousy
Their hate is clanging, maddening
In Israel...will they sing happy Noel?
Israel...in Israel

Love in a Void

Too many fools blocking my motion
Love in my eyes-must be the potion
Spots in my eyes-must be the lotion
Spots in my eyes-must be the lotion
Love in a void
It’s so numb
Avoid in love
It’s so dumb
Love in a void
Too many bigots for my liking
Too many critics, so few writing
Rabid dogs, but they aren’t biting
Rabid dogs, but they aren’t biting
Love in a void
It’s so numb
Avoid in love
It’s so dumb
Love in a void
Jaded reputation-not what you’re staking
Lots of money for the making
For all the stars-they’re just faking
For all the stars-they’re just faking
Love in a void
It’s so numb
Avoid in love
It’s so dumb
Love in a void

Make Up to Break Up

Spots and warts and blemishes
Deep receding crevices
Seem to disappear
When foundation's on my face
Foundation's on my face
Make up to break up
Girls with eyes like swimming pools
Are the ones that I despise
Cos I need lots of colour
To hide my bloodshot eyes
Hide my bloodshot eyes
Learn to paint by numbers
Lots of glossy red
To hide my pale cracked lips
Hide my pale cracked lips
Make up to break up
Now comes the break up
From the make up
Just like the devils rain
Colours run insane
Colours run insane
Foundation starts to tremble
My nose a grotesque abstract
My mouth a gaping gap
My eyes are shooting blood
My face is cracking up
My face is cracking up
Make up to break up

The Staircase Mystery

Staircase lying face up
Stare cat on the mat looking down
Looking down
Slide down the bannister
Take the escalator
Slide down the bannister
Or try the elevator
I was standing on the landing
Now I’m standing in the hall
Looking up
Won’t someone assist me?
Solve this mystery
Somebody assist me
Arrange the symmetry
Muffled footsteps on the carpet
Spiral steps spinning
Around me
Which floor which ceiling?
You’re off balance
Which floor which ceiling?
It’s all upside down
Staircase lying face up
Stare cat on the mat looking down...

Morgan le Fay, the medieval sorceress
