Telepathy Lyrics by Swans

The Great Annihilator

1995

[Verse 1]
And we steal our experience from an object that suffers
But the brightest pain leaves a shadow on no one
I saw you through the window masturbating to the violence
And the blood and the bodies floated through
The blue sun
And the green earth turns to flesh in your hand
And the ether was born in the lungs of an ancient man
We hallucinated at night, our mind's in the light
But I can't feel the body of the image which is now penetrating
My sight

[Refrain]
But you're beautiful (But you're beautiful)
And you're real (And you're real)
Are you beautiful? (Are you beautiful?)
Are you real? (Are you real?)

[Verse 2]
And my body begins where your memory ends
You were melted from stone, I was touched by your hands
I can feel it when pleasure moves up your spine
I can tell we're alive cause your blood just blended
With mine
And the angels of heaven never sacrificed
A sensation as pure as the cut of this knife
And the wisdom contained in the telepathy of fear
Solidified our suffering into the droning sound
I still hear

[Refrain]
But you're beautiful (But you're beautiful)
And you're real (And you're real)
Are you beautiful? (Are you beautiful?)
Are you real? (Are you real?)
Are you beautiful (Are you beautiful)
But unreal? (But unreal?)
Are you beautiful? (Are you beautiful?)
Are you real? (Are you real?)

[Instrumental Break]
