am I invited to this party?
has the depression only started
the room in lights all black or white
freeze frames and ice all cover my sight
suddenly it's growing in form
all of the walls are getting warm
pictures wipe out all the pain
outside luke artificial rain
calling out to me to hide
I could hide
calling out to me to run
I could run
calling out to me to be
I could see
I feel the power in control
the walls all coming up in mould
I can hold myself hypnotised
I can make empires rise
build a kingdom just for you
a skull kid in a skull castle with a room to move
so glad to be your new best friend
so glad it may all make sense

a long-bearded drunkard stands at the door
steps on a chair and falls down
to the floor
the evening begins
two fine young men stand at the bar
in the corner
a bald guy
pulls the strings of his guitar
in the middle at the table
next to an old jukebox
sits a priest
drowning in whiskey
waiting for someone to call in
to come to him and confess his sins
psychedelic images show up on a TV screen
on the wall next to the exit door
some people start a brawl
throwing punches at each other
with the accompaniment of baroque strings
or was it BB King?
they are being watched by a lady
for whose love you have to pay
approached by one man from the bar
with expensive drinks but as he sinks
she slowly walks away
into the foggy night
on the tenement houses the neon lights
flicker and the moon
tries to reflect the sun
through the smog
and you can hear the drums
playing in the distance
on cathedral square
and then - Blind Max
out of nowhere
cutting through the dark
he might have been in that bar
but now he enters the park
and follows the girl
throws a cigarette butt
his hand covered in blood
as he pulls the knife
and the girl she stops on the alley
and stares
and starts to turn
and suddenly a scream comes out of her
and I was there
and as the silence begins again
you could hear nothing but drums playing
in a distance on cathedral square
and I was there
I stood and listened
and I walked away.
