The Sky Is A Poisonous Garden - Lyrics by Concrete Blonde


Lyrics
The stars above shine down belowthe fever you hold on this nightdeathly cold
I can feel from this side of the door
I can feel Eleanor
He said, sun don't rise...he said sun don't shinehe said don't bring tomorrowto justify tonight
The moon is full-the stars are brightand the sky is a poisonous gardentonight.
Sip your Tequila. Give me some timeto unlearn all I've learned for thespring to unwindand then came your sweet mouth
I began to move mine.
They knew with the dawn-they knew with the daythey knew what they hadwould be young naked preyand attacked from all sidesby a world filled withpoison and hate
Eleanor trembles. Eleanor moans.
Somehow, this body is someoneshe always has knownshe cries tears on his chest
O so silent and slow-
She said please don't go. Please don't go-and she cried and she died in his armsand he cried nevermorethe moon is full, the stars are brightand the sky is a poisonous gardentonight.
