Soma Bath
Legendary Pink Dots
Brighter Now (1982)

out of heaven dressed in plastic pulled the shades down on his eyes
pin prick pupil saw in sky was offer him no alibies
when he meets them he's quite perfect perfect body perfect teeth
the flash sublime and blind the kids who spread their legs for their belief
he forced themselves at the drop of a parable
shriek they say when they touched his genes [jeans?]
swear his wisdom's just infallible
beg for mercy in his dream
another dying another sermon broken red forgotten lines
pain for comfort he's inhuman (they don't) tremble bend on tights
another little coporation ventilate him paint him white
a wordless song a prayer to no one helps him missle through the night
they found him on his throne of porceilin [sp?]
rusty chain draped round his head
incapable and incoherent eyes switched on to him no less
(he chewable? in ... blazers?)
witnesses looked D.O.A.
a D-Day moral sense is skewered
dribbling lies into (...?)
declared his guilt he then said nothing
sobbing as the judge turned blue
washed their hands said "lord forgive us for we know not what we do"
know not what we do not what we do
drown. in your soma bath. they said drown. in your soma bath.
what are gonna do with you?
let the punishment fit the crime!
we have the technology we got the instruments
down down in your soma bath...
