shriekback - amaryllis in the sprawl lyrics

Loading...

looking real pretty in her anorak
between the a111 and the railway track
amaryllis has a dream of traffic cones
and a crumpled raincheck for the pleasure dome
she says, “nothing is unbearable, nothing is unbearable”

peering through the window at the greasy sky
and the complicated beauty of a river run dry
everything connected to her pleasure and pain
she gonna try it all at once and do it all again
as if everything’s a riddle to her, everything’s a riddle to her

all of history, slack demented poetry
take a look at amaryllis in the sprawl
and the road-k!ll kitten wants to feel it all

out around the ring road in the falling dark
between the heritage center and the business park
amaryllis thinking on the world and i
the way the mud don’t love you and the trees don’t cry
all of it’s embarr-ssing, all of it’s embarr-ssing

all of history, lit up like a christmas tree
take a look at amaryllis in the sprawl
and the car park’s freezing but the rain don’t fall

amaryllis moving through the shifting night
it’s a temporary structure but it feels alright
the flesh of the city where it’s got no bones
and everywhere’s america and nowhere’s home
and i dropped her off at kidderminster, dropped her off at kidderminster

all of history, not all it’s cracked up to be
take a look at amaryllis in the sprawl
and the electric eyeb-lls get to see it all
isn’t it delirious?
