Madonna Of The Wasps Lyrics

Madonna Of The Wasps
Is This Love?
Is This Love?
Is This - Love?
Is This - Love?
Is This - Love?...

Lost Madonna of the Wasps, I wonder where we crossed
I wonder why she lost me -

Lost Madonna of the Wasps, She's dying in the frost
I wonder what she cost me -

Is this love?

Gone Madonna of the swans, she waves a magic wand
And then she settles on me -

Wise Madonna of the Flies, I look into her eyes
and then she recognize me -

Is this love?
Is this love?

Lost Madonna of the Wasps, I wonder where we crossed
I wonder where she lost me -

Lost Madonna of the Wasps, She's lying in the frost
I wonder what she cost me -

Is this love?
Is this love?


Spoken Word Intro
"Go," said the enchantress, "and see ye the one known as Clint. But be
warned, his medicine is potent; few have entered his cave, and even less
have returned. So take with you this talisman."

She plucked it from her ample chest and thrust into his sweaty palm a
tiny upright mexican bean. He pocketed it and crawled across the mountains
for twenty eight days. When his labours were finished he fumbled for the
bean but could find it no more. He crawled back another twenty seven and a
half days to where he'd come from and saw the enchantress standing bemused
by a series of petrol pumps.

"You forgot the bean, didn't you," said the enchantress.

But he was unable to speak, his tounge swollen and parched with his
labours over the crucifying desert had grown so pulpy in his mouth it was
as if he had two sausages and a severe dental case and couldn't speak at
all.

"Seek ye the one known as Clint, but be warned; few have entered his cave,
and even fewer returned. Take you this talisman, one small mexican bean,
and remember: go."

For twenty eight days he crossed the desert. His eyes glistening with
the parched waters of love, his mouth snarling for the occasional plant and
jack rabbit that danced into the uterine thing of his part. Nobody could
stop him now.

"See ye the one known as, Leo? Jeff? Dennis?"

For twenty seven days he crawled back across the desert. His tounge so
swollen with pain he could barely lick the occaisional spike from the
cactus to deeply needed nutrition from way below the ground. Eventually he
crawled over the ridge, and there standing on the petrol pumps was the
enchantress.

"Forgot his name didn't you?"

He was unable to speak.

"Go, seek ye the one known as Clint, but rember few have entered his cave
and even fewer returned. Take you this, take you this, prawn, onion,
bicycle cap."

Now they were really stuck.

(Which just goes to show that love is the distance between reality and
pain.)


One Long Pair Of Eyes
(Acoustic)

In the tower the lover sighs
"Good Sir Knight, please take my eyes - I've used them"
"Doctor, doctor, I'm on fire!"
"Oh, I'm sad to hear that squire - we're closing"
She snuffs you out like silk
And pours you out like milk
But just before the dawn appears, stealing all the blue away
And just before all your perspectives change
Isn't it strange?

On the black Fellini sails
Tattered rags that hangs on nails reminds me
You the mistress of your chair
I the sergeant of your hair - you blind me
You turn me on like light
A liquid silver light
That emanates inside of you, decorates the room around and
Just before the curtains part for dawn
And everything's gone

She had one long pair of eyes
She had one long pair or eyes between her
One long pair of eyes
So she could see you
Ah-ah-ah - Ah-ah-ah-oh

On the lone Norweigian shore
Lovers weep for evermore in evening
With the clouds above their heads
Go back to their lonesome beds and leave them
She falls on you like rain
When will she fall again?
Oh just before the dawn appears stealing all the blue away and
Just before all your perspectives change
Isn't that strange?

She had one long pair of eyes
She had one long pair or eyes between her
One long pair of eyes
Oh she had one long pair of eyes between her
One long pair of eyes
Yes she had one long pair of eyes between her
One long pair of eyes
So she could see you
Ah-ah-ah - Ah-ah-ah-oh
Ah-ah-ah - Ah-ah-ah-oh


More Than This
It could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Falling leaves in the night
We can't say where they're going
As free as the wind
Hope for the learning
While the sea of the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this
You know there's nothing
More than this
Tell me one thing
More than this
Nothing

It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
That the sun in the sky
We can't say where it's going
No care anymore
Maybe I'm learning
While the sea of the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this
You know there's nothing
More than this
Tell me one thing
More than this
Oh there's nothing

More than this
There's nothing
More than this
Tell me one thing
More than this
Oh there's nothing
