Lyrics for The Family And The Fishing Net by Peter Gabriel:
| | | Artist: | Peter Gabriel |
| | Album: | Security | | Track: | The Family And The Fishing Net | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 62 | | | | Lyrics: | Suffocated by mirrors, stained by dreams
Her honey belly pulls the seams
Curves
are still upon the hinge
Pale zeros tinge the tiger skin
Moist as grass,
ripe and heavy as the night
The sponge is full, well out of sight
All around the
conversations
Icing on the warm flesh cake
Light creeps through her secret
tunnels
Sucked into the open spaces
Burning out in sudden flashes
Draining blood from well-fed faces
Desires form in subtle whispers
Flex
the muscles in denial
Up and down its pristine cage
So the music, so the
trial
Vows of sacrifice, headless chickens
Dance in circles, they the
blessed
Man and wife, undressed by all
Their grafted trunks in heat
possessed
Even as the soft skins tingle
They mingle with the homeless
mother
Who loves the day but lives another
That once was hers
The worried father, long lost lover
Brushes ashes with his broom
Rehearses jokes
to fly and hover
Bursting over the bride and groom
And the talk goes
on
Memories crash on tireless waves
The lifeguards whom the winter
saves
Silence falls the guillotine
All the doors are shut
Nervous hands grip tight the knife
In the darkness, till the cake is cut
Passed
around, in little pieces
The body and the flesh
The family and the
fishing-net
And another in the mesh
The body and the flesh | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
