general info lyrics

Title: Glass + the Ghost Children
Also known as:
Released: Released: 2000
Running Time: 9:54
to the center of Eden
or anywhere God decides
for the feeble belief of
we hear a calling as all

to the center of Eden
as it breaks it in
DNA is rechanneled
to your frequency

i want to live
i don't want to die
i want to live
i want to try

all the prayers
prayer and die (?)
all of us scared
scared of...(?)

black rooms are calling
to men in leather coats
white lambs are cooking
up the silver ghost

the glass migrates under
a translucent skin
and all the spiders wonder
what we've got us in

all this you
you are i
all with you
you and i

i want to live
i don't want to die
i want to live
i want to try

(segment with billy talking to a psychologist):
"so it's all very obtuse because it's like all like...like, i don't know...it's like i started thinking that everything i operate on is based on what i believe god is telling me to do...that could be my intuition or whatever, but i always assumed - i always assumed that the voice that i hear
is the voice of god...then i started thinking, 'what if i am insane?' so i'm operating on the premise that i am hearing the voice of god or what i perceive god to be speaking to me or through me, but maybe i'm completely...so all my kind of demagoguery in my life about me thinking that
my life has importance, my thought of it...based on the fact that i believe that i'm following my intuition, which, in and of itself, may be completely false...so then i started freaking out, thinking...that you've got this totally insane creature who believes that he's acting upon kind of heavenly intuition but meanwhile, he's totally rampant...and i started thinking maybe
this is the cause of all the negativity..."

(part 2 of the song: The Ghost Children):

so beats the final coda
of our vinyl storm
and one more cherry cola
to lift up her dead arm

i dream of some focused sunsets
filters through the din
we are losing contact
as she dials it in

she can hear Glass calling
or is it someone
that looks like him

she eyes TV reflection
and nods a knowing look
she says it doesn't matter
she never liked her looks

i have seen a thousand fractions
i have seen everything

cause knowing is its own answer
to love something in a book

there's not much left to ponder
not much left to cook

as she counted the spiders
as they crawled up inside her...
