Malaria - Shriekback

In the dumb fat side

Of the heavy sweaty black malaria night

You can tell the shit

From the essence of heaven

In the smash and grab

In the sharp attack dishonest night

You can say what you want

And somebody listen

There’s laughter and glass

And perfume and flags

And kisses and trains

And roses and vaccines

I’m living in a neon house

I’m living in avalanche road

I’m living in hangover city

I’m living in a neon house

I’m living in avalanche road

I’m living in hangover city

Whatever gets you acclimatised

Radiation and downcast eyes serious sight

We’re looking for a wild machine

Cybernetic rabies

Syndication and sympathy

Might work for you but not for me

I love you best when it’s all a mess

Will you lie for me, cry for me

Die for me will you please

Never, never, never, never

Never, never, never say no

I’m living in a neon house

I’m living in avalanche road

I’m living in hangover city

I’m living in a neon house

I’m living in avalanche road

I’m living in hangover city

And all these unforeseen things tumble down

I’ve got a love and it won’t stop burning

And all these unforeseen things tumble down

I’ve got a love and it won’t stop burning

And all these unforeseen things tumble down

I’ve got a love and it won’t stop burning

And all these unforeseen things tumble down

I’ve got a love and it won’t stop burning

In the dumb fat side

Of the heavy sweaty black malaria night

You can say what you want

Somebody listen

Gonna say what I really want

(Come on say what you really want)

Gonna say what I really want

(Yeah, say what you really want)

I wanna live with Halo Jones

I wanna home that’s miles from home

I wanna drugs from the Twilight Zone

I wanna never never never never

Never never never say no

I’m living in a neon house

I’m living in avalanche road

I’m living in hangover city

I’m living in a neon house

I’m living in avalanche road

I’m living in hangover city

And all these unforeseen things tumble down

I’ve got a love and it won’t stop burning

And all these unforeseen things tumble down

I’ve got a love and it won’t stop burning

And all these unforeseen things tumble down

I’ve got a love and it won’t stop burning

And all these unforeseen things tumble down

I’ve got a love and it won’t stop burning

And all these unforeseen things tumble down

I’ve got a love and it won’t stop burning

And all these unforeseen things tumble down

I’ve got a love and it won’t stop burning

And all these unforeseen things tumble down

I’ve got a love and it won’t stop burning

And all these unforeseen things tumble down

I’ve got a love and it won’t stop burning
