@ALBUM: disintegration The Cure Disitgration (c) 1989 @SONG: Closedown i'm running out of time i'm out of step and closing down and never sleep for wanting hours the empty hours of greed and uselessly always the need to feel again the real belief of something more than mockery if only i could fill my heart with love @SONG: Disintegration oh i miss the kiss of treachery the shameless kiss of vanity the soft and the black and the velvety up tight against the side of me and mouth and eyes and heart all bleed and run in thickening streams of greed as bit by bit it starts the need to just let go my party piece oh i miss the kiss of treachery the aching kiss before i feed the stench of a love for a younger meat and the sound that it makes when it cuts in deep the holding up on bended knees the addiction of duplicities as bit by bit it starts the need to just let go my party piece but i never said i would stay to the end so i leave you with babies and hoping for frequency screaming like this in the hope of the secrecy screaming me over and over and over i leave you with photographs pictures of trickery stains on the carpet and stains on the scenery songs about happiness murmured in dreams when we both us knew how the ending would be... so it's all come back round to breaking apart again breking apart like i'm made up of glass again making it up behind my back again holding my breath for the fear of sleep again holding it up behind my head again cut in deep to the heart of the bone again round and round and round and it's coming apart again over and over and over now that i know that i'm breaking to pieces i'll pull out my heart and i'll feed it to anyone crying for sympathy crocodile cry for the love of the crowd and the three cheers from everyone dropping through sky through the glass of the roof through the roof of your mouth through the mouth of your eye through the eye of the needle it's easier for me to get closer to heaven than ever feel whole again i never said i would stay to the end i knew i would leave you with babies and everything screaming like this in the hole of sincerity screaming me over and over and over i leave you with photographs pictues of trickery stains on the carpet and stains on the memory songs about happiness murmured in dreams when we both of us knew how the end always is... how the end always is... @SONG: Fascination Street oh it's opening time down on fascination street so let's cut the conversation and get out for a bit because i feel it all fading and paling and i'm begging to drag you down with me to kick the last nail in yeah i like you in that like i like you to scream but if you open your mouth then i cant be responsible for quite what goes in or to care what comes out so just pull on your hair just pull on your pout and let's move to the beat like we know that it's over if you slip going under slip over my shoulder so just pull on your face just pull on your feet and let's hit opening time down on fascination street so pull on your hair pull on your pout cut the conversation just open your mouth pull on your face pull on your feet and let's hit opening time down on fascination street @SONG: Homesick hey hey!

a movement in the corner of the room! and there is nothing i can do when i realise with freight that the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight quietly he laughs and shaking his head creeps closer now closer to the foot of the bed and softer than shadow and quicker than flies his arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes "be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy don't struggle like that or i will only love you more for it's much too late to get away or turn on the light the spiderman is having you for dinner tonight" and i feel like i'm being eaten by a thousand million shivering furry holes and i know that in the morning i will wake up in the shivering cold and the spiderman is always hungry... @SONG: Pictures of You i've been looking so long at these pictures of you that i almost beleive that they're real i've been living so long with my pictures of you that i almost believe that the pictures are all i can feel remembering you standing quiet in the rain as i ran to your heart to be near and we kissed as the sky fell in holding you close how i always held close in your fear remembering you running soft through the night you were bigger and brigther than the snow and screamed at the make-beleive screamed at the sky and you finally found all your courage to let it all go remembering you fallen into my arms crying for the death of your heart you were stone white so delicate lost in the cold you were always so lost in the dark remembering you how you used to be slow drowned you were angels so much more than everything oh hold for the last time then slip away quietly open my eyes but i never see anything if only i had thought of the right words i could have hold on to your heart if only i'd thought of the right words i wouldn't be breaking apart all my pictures of you Looking So long at these pictures of you but i never hold on to your heart looking so long for the words to be true but always just breaking apart my pictures of you there was nothing in the world that i ever wanted more than to feel you deep in my heart there was nothing in the world that i ever wanted more than to never feel the breaking apart all my pictures of you @SONG: Plainsong "i think it's dark and it looks like rain" you said "and the wind is blowing like it's the end of the world" you said "and it's so cold it's like the cold if you were dead" and then you smiled for a second. "i think i'm old and i'm in pain" you said "and it's all running out like it's the end of the world" you said "and it's so cold it's like the cold if you were dead" and then you smiled for a second sometimes you make me feel like i'm living at the edge of the world like i'm living at the edge of the world "it's just the way i smile" you said @SONG: Prayers for Rain you shatter me your grip on me a hold on me so dull it kills you stifle me infectious sense of hopelessness and prayers for rain i suffocate i breathe in dirt and nowhere shines but desolate and drab the hours all spent on killing time again all waiting for the rain you fracture me your hands on me a touch so plain so stale it kills you strangle me entangle me in hopelessness and prayers for rain i deteriorate i live in dirt and nowhere glows but drearily and tired the hours all spent on killing time again all waiting for the rain @SONG: The Same Deep Water as You kiss me goodbye pushing out before i sleep can't you see i try swimming the same deep water as you is hard "the shallow drowned lose less than we" you breathe the strangest twist upon your lips "and we shall be together..." "kiss me goodbye bow your head and join with me" and face pushed deep rteflections meet the strangest twist upon your lips and dissapear the ripples clear and laughing break against your feet and laughing break the mirror sweet "so we shall be together..." "kiss me goodbye" pushing out before i sleep it's lower now and slower now the strangest twist upon your lips but i don't see and i dont feel but tightly hold up silently my hands before my fading eyes and in my eyes your smile the very last thing before i go... i will kiss you i will kiss you i will kiss you forever on nights like this i will kiss you i will kiss you and we shall be together... @SONG: Untitled hopelessly drift in the eyes of the ghost again down on my knees and my hands in the air again pushing my face in the memory of you again but i never know if it's real never know how i wanted to feel never quite said what i wanted to say to you never quite managed the words to explain to you never quite knew how to make them beleivable and now the time has gone another time undone hopelessly fighting the devil futility feeling the moster climb deeper inside of me feeling him gnawing my heart away hungrily i'll never lose this pain never dream of
