Love's Secret Domain

Further Back and Faster

- We've gone too far. We need... we haven't really got anywhere.
- Anyway, we've gotta go much further out.
- We have to go much further... much further back, and faster.
- Wait a minute.
From the film Performance:
- You've got it! You've got the gift!
- ???
- Yeah! A special energy, pulsating into the ???.

From Charles Laughton's narration of Night of the Hunter:

See his hands
Look at the fingers
See his hands

See his hands
Look at the fingers
See his hands
See his hands
See his hands
Tattooed fingers
Tattooed fingers: hate

See his hands
Look at the fingers
Fingers of the left hand spell love
See his hands
Look at the fingers
Those of the right hand spell hate
The fingers of the left hand: love
The fingers of the left hand: love hate
Those of the right hand: hate
Those of the right hand: hate love

Lorca Not Orca

Don't be alarmed
It will not harm you
It's only lightning
Teenage lightning
Don't be alarmed
It will not harm you
It's only lightning
Teenage lightning
It's real, unbelievably real
Teenage lightning
Don't be frightened
It's only lightning
Teenage lightning
Teenage lightning
Teenage lightning
Don't be frightened

Love's Secret Domain

O rose, thou art sick
Seduce, let loose the vision and the void
Bloodsuckle and honey suck
O rose, thou art sick
O, the vision and the void
The bloodsickle cuts the honey suck
O rose, thou art sick

In little children's heavy heads
My dreams erupt while in my bed
Innocence is innocence is innocence is dripping red
In dreams I'll walk with you
In dreams I'll talk with you
In dreams you're mine
All of the time

Heads on fire and drunken lights
Oh, days devoured by hungry nights
In love's secret domain
This is mad love
Oh, this is mad love
In love's secret domain

Sweet tortures fly on mystery wings
Pure evil is when flowers sing
My heart, my heart, my heart is a rose
This is mad love
This is mad love
In love's secret domain

Give sanity a longer leash
But some of us have sharper teeth
In dreams, in dreams
In love's secret domain

In dreams I'll walk with you
In dreams I'll talk with you
In dreams
In dreams you're mine all the time

O rose, thou art sick
The invisible worm
The vision and the void
The bloodsickle cuts
And the honey sucks
O rose, thou art sick
Ugh!

Teenage Lightning

Don't be alarmed
It will not harm you
It's only lightning
Teenage lightning
It's real, unbelievably real
Teenage lightning
Don't be frightened
This is the way we do it
This is the way we do it
Don't be alarmed
It will not harm you
It's only me pursuing
Something I'm not sure of
It's only lightning
Teenage lightning
Don't be alarmed
You can't be harmed
Teenage lightning
Is it real?
Can you steal
Teenage lightning?
It is the lightning's deep, dark love

Titan Arch

Crown the dark animal
Black jackal crawling
Eternal returning
An end to the waiting

There are thrones underground
And monarchs upon them
They walk serene
In spaces between

At the head of the storm
Darkness is rising
In the garden of jaws
His wounds are shining

Angels take poisons
In rotting pavilions
Under shivering stars
The sickness is gilding

Things Happen

Kill the creator! Send them the bomb!
Kill the creator! Send them the bomb!

Daddy, do you have a cigarette for me? I think
Maybe it's getting late, maybe time is running out
You know, I knew somebody once, rifled through his drawers
I wasn't that suspicious but you know, these things they happen
But, muñeca, do you have a towel?
See those people gather round
Baby do you have a light?
What's it like in Ohio... baby?

What d'you want to call me, muñeca?
Honey, do you like my dress?
You know, I think the colour pink suits my complexion
Or is it a reflection of the sky outside, you know
Why are those people crowding around?
You know I think your time is running out
What was your name, anyway?
No lipstick on his collar, but maybe it was blood
I don't know to this day, dear
Do you have another, uh...
Did you light that cigarette for me?
Oh, did you leave that on the side?
Do you have another cigarette for me? You know, uh,
Well, I had somebody once, ah,
You know, we used to cook a lot
It was a...
Do you like chillis in Ohio?
Muñeca, yo te quiero
Yo te quiero Ohio
Anyway... muy bonito
Where did I leave my matches?
I thought they were on the table there
By the way, did you, uh...?
Do you have some, uh, cash for me
Because you know I have to, uh, get a cab somewhere, after here
You know, I don't want to push you, but, uh,
You know, I've got to go some place
There's something burning in the kitchen
Did I put the pepper in?
I don't... uh... oh, dear
You know you have to watch yourself, don't you?
Why are those people crowding round me in the street
It must be like that for you a little bit, huh?
It's a bit of a commotion
Nice meeting you
I have no regrets, but I did feel a little bad, you know?
It's kind of like, you know what it's like
