The Wedding
Legendary Pink Dots
Brighter Now (1982)

you asked for nothing that's what i gave you
ash for ashes dust for dust
your trust touching but misguided
bride, i'll be yours for one night
i wonder wonder really what you saw in me
not your type at all
and all the angels hold their breath as my eyes rest
upon the pretty girl who leads the choir
cry out their disgust for me
they're crying for my bride
this (mouse?) in white does not suspect my next move in the game
the game will honor you and cherish you a game share my world be good
a game til death when we're parted only words don't mean a thing
think of ways to run the sun paints patterns on the stain glass windows
widows in their sunday best reflect about when they too were brides
can hide their feeling stealing seconds from an age
they'll never see again again with this ring i pledge myself again
i do i do why do we have to be so humble mumble words we never mean
it's obscene the ultimate obscenity serenity on sundays the stars on sundays
smiles on straight and maybe one day rewards will be there for us
just for us in heaven just for us amen amen (the end)
