Moorcock
Running through my backbrain in the morning
I think it's coming clearer
Killers in the streets are wearing striped pants
Messages messages
Now it's growing dimmer
There's a roaring in my ears that will not die
Breathing's getting harder
I think that it's important information
I know they're trying to tell me
Every little sound is charged with meaning
I'm nearly out of letters
Running Through The Back Brain
I think that what I'm getting is a warning
Messages are scrambled but they're urgent
Something in the cortex 'bout detergent
I can see it in the mirror
Heading for a relapse
Clogging up the synapse
Or is it just Cassandra yawning?
They are interfering with my larynx
My brother and my sister joined the army
They promise that they do not mean to harm me
Persecution Persecution
messages messages.....
I can see the mirror shimmer
Sounds are getting stranger
warning me of danger
Or can it be that I am merely tired?
And signals in the sky I can't identify
My eyes are melting and my lips are moving
And the words that I am hearing are not soothing
There's nothing in the larder
The building's falling over
Or the Sun is going nova
Or is it my old-fashioned paranioa?
giving me my future destination
Fragments of mysterious conversation
Lend the game a frightening complication
What can they want to sell me?
The floor is undulating
My bones are soft and aching
Or have I temporarily lost my bearing?
Percentage bandits riding out of ealing
Stuttering, shouting, crying, and declaiming
Sentences are waxing, now they're waning
From my elders and my betters
The Killer's moving faster
He tells me that he's my master
Or was he just asking me «the time please?»
