Ostrich Lyrics by Danielle Dax

Jesus Egg That Wept

1984

[Verse 1]
\nNow forces see the fire burning in the hills
\nLet the waters of the dead lay undisturbed
\nFools that take the burrows in the black soil
\nLay their heads between their knees as they count their words
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nAnd the hero starts to smile on the solid state screen
\nAnd soothing empty words inside your head
\nHeroes throwing caution to the four winds
\nAre gambling the lands that fed their nest
\n
\n[Bridge]
\nWhere the false myths soothe
\nThey're a shroud for all our feeling
\nAnd thеy strangle thought
\nA muzzle on the mouth that's bleeding
\nThеy are discontent
\nTruth is not their hand that's feeding
\nCurls up, sucking air
\nMove along the words of meaning
\n
\n[Verse 1]
\nNow forces see the fire burning in the hills
\nLet the waters of the dead lay undisturbed
\nFools that take the burrows in the black soil
\nLay their heads between their knees as they count their words
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nAnd the hero starts to smile on the solid state screen
\nAnd soothing empty words inside your head
\nHeroes throwing caution to the four winds
\nAre gambling the lands that fed their nest\n\n
