Keychains - Ancient Prize Lyrics

The wind and the waves are turning the night
And your castle is warm with halogen
Lights
And your library room is perfectly minted
But the splash of red paint is warm
And wet

I told you to be careful with your
Ancient prize
It will talk to you and coat you just like a
Lozenge

It's a blessing and it's a curse
God gave us a beautiful trojan horse
A temptation, a silver studded spoon
But animals don't use silverware
And the birds are stuck and flapping
In their cold traps of glue
And a riot is raging
In front of that old
Movie theatre

I hold your
Your vacant eyes
They are supposed to be so kind
But they are punishing

The explosions in the town
They feel just like thumping
As in the night I am so numb
Your words sound more like humming
Articulation seems to fade
As I hear so many voices
They grow louder and louder
Can't you turn off
The television

I see through your blatant
Disguise
You look so pretty in your mask

I wonder where they went off to
In their carnival caravan
Oh and they were singing
You can find us in Potter's Field

Oh I saw red painted pines
And a broken caravan wheel
It was spinning, in the breeze
In a meadow, full of little
Flowers

Oh and you with your bouquet
Full of iris
They sprout just like those
Above the
Strangers
