cinema strange - the toad curse and how it perished in flames lyrics

i can make fire breath. i learned it as a lad. my master told me i had prowess no one ever had!

i could conduct the light… i’d look away to her… she’d match my spit with spite; i don’t know what her reasons were. i fell in love with her. my tongue is purple-black. i lit a bluish rose… she carved a curse into my back! i dance when beauty’s near. i hop to taunts and jeers. i sought out stony glens… lovely ladies don’t come here.

i paint the rock with flame. i burn and bruise my feet. i spit, i’m naked, ever-hungry, i forget to eat.i stamp out flowers and i fill my ears with mud. (that way the birdsong will not stir and agitate my blood.) i stare at ugly things. i suffer cuts and stings. it’s been a happy, hopless, curseless ten-years hermitting!

but then i smell the air and see her shrivelled there… and though my blood begins to jump and boil, i don’t despair.

the curse is breathing flames that i could never name. i ask her, shaking, quaking, why the bl–dy h-ll she came! she does not answer me. her eyes are withering! the wind begins to bend her… now my muscles start to sing! i clasp her desperately, and we jump fifty feet! am i the very toad that used to hop along her street? i fell in love with her. my tongue is purple-black. i light a bluish rose and heap the flames upon our backs…
