Up With The Smoke - Down With The Ash-Turboweekend

Up With The Smoke - Down With The Ash - Turboweekend I saw the animal six as a silhuette fixed on the back wall I turned my body around so I could face the sound of the cat’s call The broken window was shaking and my bones were aching to follow the trail Where the curtains were torn by the claws and the horns I saw the sweep of the nine tails Through the shimmering light I stumbled into the nights empire And with the spark in my hand I followed blood in the sand to the bonfire This is a farewell to names, old tags burn in the flames with a flash And as your old body chokes you rise up with the smoke and come down with the ash Wind from the coastline blows cross the highs and the lows turning wolves into sheep Just when the skyline quakes, clouds fall into the lake, stars are lost in the deep Trombones and tamburines play, big sound makes everything sway Vision blurred by the heat, bodies are chained to the beat Breaking the loop, I saw the birdmen swoop down for prey Their beaks in my back I heard the branches crack as they flew me away This is a farewell to names, old tags burn in the flames with a flash And as your old body chokes you rise up with the smoke and come down with the ash It has exploded the frames, memories tied to the games of the past I am devided and tossed, among the bones of the lost I am the first and the last Heart beat, heart beat. We’ve never been down this street These licks these tricks – We’re playing with the animal sixth Through the shimmering light I stumbled into the nights empire And with the spark in my hand I followed blood in the sand to the bonfire This is a farewell to names, old tags burn in the flames with a flash And as your old body chokes you rise up with the smoke and come down with the ash
