Saints And Tyrants

from Keep Away From Heat by Tony Castellano

about

The lyrics on this song were written by Stephen Fisk, a friend of Robert Mulcahy. In the bridge I attempted to emulate Peter Hammill (a personal hero) on the vocal.

lyrics

time and time and time again again my mind mind mind has lied defied a shattered Shatner a silly scattered schism I the sybarite sigh controlled tied subservient subjugation another day’s seduction limp wrested beast I I I part of the reward mechanism intuitive retro-prison guidance goddess sways me fractured it’s my fabulous addiction my quixotic affliction fouls my diction processes restriction it works me with the ruthlessness of saints and tyrants it’s really biological post-supernatural part of me I wish wasn’t there there a sticky slime a gooey gooey bind that connects me to the world mankind just a mind’s lurch for intelligent life a search on this earth we trod could my addiction be my God it’s simple pain and reward the stockholm syndrome empathizing with my captor capture rapture it’s my fuel fuel which gives credence to a life life how can you force majeure be so cruel and so we dance the dance my master and I in perennial servitude my perilous enslavement becomes my aspiration my raison d’etre a piece which is better left unsevered and so we dance the dance is it I control or you control who will cop who knows the fool best where will my exodus rest it’s time to stop stop stop
