lyrics

We got Siamese twins and sheep with two heads
And a boy with the face of a fish.
And ghost trains and geeks
And the wild child of Borneo.
And armless wonders and legless wonders and limbless wonders
And parasitic twins.
Will wonders never cease?

We got mind-readers and Zulu dancers
And a man with elastic skin
And black girls joined at the hip.
Born into slavery
When Millie smokes, Christine coughs,
When Christine drinks
It’s Millie gets tight
And no-one can imagine how they make it through the night.

There’s a dog-faced boy from Bohemia
And a girl with the face of a cat
And I’ll guess your age
And I’ll guess your weight
Your middle name, your star sign
And the size of your hat!

We got Siamese twins and sheep with two heads
And a boy with the face of a fish.
And ghost trains and geeks
And the wild child of Borneo.
And armless wonders and legless wonders and limbless wonders
And parasitic twins.
Will wonders never cease?

We got mind-readers and Zulu dancers
And a man with elastic skin
And black girls joined at the hip.
Born into slavery
When Millie smokes, Christine coughs,
When Christine drinks
It’s Millie gets tight
And no-one can imagine how they make it through the night.

Everson Poe recommends:

Let the Galaxy Burn
by S H R I E K I N G

Unsettling in a similar vein as some of COIL’s most uncomfortable works, but obviously in a good way. S H R I E K I N G makes some of my favorite music. Everson Poe

if you ever wondered what it would sound like if john carpenter recorded an album in the midst of a nervous breakdown, this has provided a resoundingly solid answer. so creepy & yet so soothing. Everson Poe
