about

The original recording of "Marrying...", which later appeared on Serious Pilgrim's 1994 full album.

lyrics

I don't want to be your maker
I don't want to feel your pain
You're such a pretty undertaker
Please look away so I remain

I said I'll find you
You're running far away

You're such a simple kind of crazy
You're the fool to make the call
'Cause I'm a guy who's kind of crazy
I didn't want this thing at all

I said I'll find you
You're running far away

Marrying the metal sculpture
Comes to mind like a horticulture
Marrying the metal sculpture
Comes to mind like a horticulture

I leave you

I'm tired of your lame suggestions
I'm tired of this empty dream
My thoughts are not for your inspection
My thoughts are pure, my thoughts are clean
I'm a troubled individual, you know what I mean

I'm gonna find you
When you are far away
I said I'll find you
You're running far away

Marrying the metal sculpture
Comes to mind like a horticulture
Marrying the metal sculpture
Comes to mind like a horticulture
dig it
Marrying the metal sculpture
Comes to mind like a horticulture
When you're marrying that metal sculpture
Comes to mind like a whore to culture

I leave you

What are you saying as I'm swaying in a heavenly bliss
Hacking heavy at the cross I kiss
I can dig it and take and talk it and fake it and make it the best
Animated, I can break the test
I'm jerking
Dig it I never said it I can break it down to the dirt
So quick, you won't feel the shirt
Slidin' glidin' from the neck of the bishop to the record I sleeve
Smell the chemical when I leave
I'm the bread, the wine, the joker, the pilgrim, the promise divine
The only color in your dead skyline
You are hopin' and prayin' that I will be stayin'
No time to believe
You're mechanical when I leave
Now you're livin' and dyin' in the blinkin' of the cannibal eye
Tear it open as it starts to fry
Purple egg of pain wrapped in yellow veins
You will annihilate the fantasy by breakin' your brains and cryin'

Marrying the metal sculpture
Comes to mind like a horticulture
Marrying the metal sculpture
I leave you
Only you.
