Hiss and Hearse
by Luke Henley

I just found Arabia
rubbed off of the map.
Rubber shavings left behind
the sacrificial calf.

Wise men lose their calm, wise ways when
suffering sinners seethe.
My calm left when I became
a clak-clak set of broken teeth.

Hiss and hearse all left of sideways,
shuck the shells of men.
Heckle Heraclitus' fires.
Jesus Jones in the used bin.

Hitler's youth remained drug free
all throughout the Reich.
Adolf Bronson lost his life
for using the word "dyke."

I was hemlock in the wine.
You were Socrates.
Jesus Christ was way toned
after Pontius Pilates.

Hiss and hearse all left of sideways,
shuck the shells of men.
Heckle Heraclitus' fires.
Jesus Jones in the used bin.
If nuclear war's a motherfucker,
you must understand:
I've assured destruction in my
ribcage and my hand.

Hiss and Hearse

Outside the sun is shining
Inside, you're whine, whine, whining

Yes, you've had sex but you're still a virgin
Kidney operation doesn't make you a surgeon
your'e doing exactly what a thousand unhappy little
Losers before you felt that they had to do
The hiss of your life well it needs some noise reduction
Parking your hearse alongside tedious destruction
No revolution, it's an old institution, and
Life is just pre-cum for you when you're through

No choice born and no chance when you die
Boo hoo hoo ain't life so unfair?

Give you a chance but you'd take the wrong impression
You're stinking up the school but you still won't learn the lesson
Hissing at the hearse while you piss in my purse, but come on
Tell me what's worse, to be cursed or to curse?
Yes, you've had sex but you're always be a virgin
Here's your operation, I'm a teenage kidney surgeon
Screeching through life like the rules don't apply cos you
Think you've come first just lie back down in the hearse

Outside the sun is shining
Hiss and Hearse, you're whine, whine, whining

Hiss and Hearse - Draft

I thought that I had seen you and it brought up our past
I could feel my arms surround you, devouring what was left
And the stinging of all those years that will never know just why

Reflections through a window on a train

I could see the crowd all around you as the ringing in my ears
And the beating of my heart couldn't fight back those tears
And all those memories
And the line of black cars

Reflections through a window on a train
Reflections of a window on a train

And I never, ever thought it'd end this way
I always thought that I'd see you again
I'd see you again, but I was wrong
Dead wrong
Just then the boarding call
Head out on the steam

Hiss and Hearse
by Rabid Garfunkel

Whoa, yeah

Don't stray from the village, baby

I was on the back roads hitchin'
Before the morning light
And this old guy crept up on me
His skin a ghostly white
He said "Listen to 'em, baby, the children of the night
What music they make"

Don't stray from the village
In the dark of the night

The headlights lit up our footsteps
Engine idled to slow
And she said "Get in boys, let's go"
I thought I heard him say "The spider spinnin' his web
For the unwary fly"

Children of the night

She drove that road hard fast and wild
Just like a lover's fist
Then she started to cry
And I heard a tire hiss
He winked at me and said "I never drink...
Whine"

Don't stray from the village
Before the morning light

So I bid them adieu
Went on my way
And still I wondered
Would either of them see the light of day
'Cause we all stray from the village, baby
But only I saw the light

All my love has gone away.
Taken fright at the bright lights of day.
Taken fright.
I want her,
I need her,
but I can't bring her back.

Chorus
Ah...
Even in death I will love you.
Ah...
I'll haunt this world till I'm with you.

I can't live another day.
Red, my life will drain away.
I want her,
I need her
and soon we'll meet again. x2

In the hiss of the rain,
the hearse turns again,
and we head to my darkest day.
I can't shake the feeling,
that my love is with me today.

Chorus

Gareth.
