lyrics

I don’t have an enemy
But I lose all my friends
And the Vision of St Joseph at the back of my eyes
Has lost the power to comfort and the simple means to mend

As the gatekeeper stumbles
Eviscerated and neutralised
We smile at the truth and turn and walk away
So held in satisfaction and so simply anaesthetised

Here comes the lightning
Here comes the thunder
Here comes the rain
Here comes the blue moon

There’s a power in trespass
There’s the love of disguise
There’s this surfeit of greed in each hyphenation
There’s the food for every vanity and our endless appetites

All these things I depend on
All the crutches and canes
The gift of amnesia with no need to explain
We change our mind so easy as we wash away the stains

Here comes the legion
Here comes division
Here comes the storm
Here comes the blue moon

We depend on denial
So deeply ingrained
The endless ambition there behind anxious smiles
The dreams of evolution and the tears in the pouring rain….

Here comes the blue moon
Here comes the nightmare
Here come the horsemen
Here comes the rapture
Here comes the payback
Here comes the outside
Here comes the blackout
Here comes the stupid
Here comes the blindfold
Here comes the end
