Suddenly Ahead Ahead Lyrics

Virginia Aurora Scott

Suddenly Ahead Ahead

Psychedelic sitting pretty world in motion letting go
time out
Stratocruising on the run monumental everything
wild
Something white streaks across the nothingness of circulation
skyline
Suddenly ahead ahead soapy bubble soapy bubble
truth

Deconstructive procreation incoherent superficial
drifting
Cosmic ray controversy totally completely
ignored
Futuristic dying horses generating overwhelming
meaning
Suddenly ahead ahead soapy bubble soapy bubble
deep

Suddenly ahead ahead reality
Splicing so fragile a serenity

------------------------------------
So We Crash

You need to show me who you are
And I so need to be a shadow
Your steps and invertible tags in a collision
With my scar tissues neatly fondling the crown
That I no longer wear

So we crash
In the mindhills

Running out before it's to late
Beating my brains in the furrowed past
You loose me in a dream when I was brave
Alive and fluorescent covering my naked fear

------------------------------------------
Soft Umbilical Machine

I find it hard to be so soft
I find it hard to be so slow
I find it hard to connect

A man once said to me wait a bit
Wait a bit and hang on to yourself
Instead inside I miled a minute
Tender gaze of intensity

After birth left from some years ago
Pouring onto canvases
Did not dance prematurely
Tender gaze of intensity.

Surrogate mother
After birth half life
Surrogate mother
Won't you take it away from me

Chilling machine of tempo race
In speed of tiny beats
Fix of face under roofs
Tender gaze of intensity.

----------------------------------

Towers Falling

Sometime in spring
Time and last more
She woke from a dream
That would change her life
In a field of black daisies
In a river called the swim
A creeping sensation
Clipped a persons wing
She looked up
To the impenetrable sky space
Towers falling!

Blue eyes not skin
She's staying still
As she wakes from a dream
That would change her life
Deep in the forest
Scattered and bare
As she wakes form a dream
That would change her life

Towers falling

Sometime in spring
She would wake from a dream
Of towers falling.

------------------------------
When Your Were Rosy

Over the snowy mind's eye
Love to see that time
When you were rosy.

In a small country garden
You densed into the voile

A long solo miniature
In tempo vast secret

Leap across your time soft slow
In a red box in a red room sky
When you were rosy.

This was before you could know
What it meant to cry

This is the way we go
Forward in past love.

---------------------------------------
Sad Song
Looking over the hill to my place of sad songs
Why am I inside out?
It's a house in the still space of sad song
Why am I inside out?

There are sounds that echo of sad songs
Leaving me inside out In the vale of clear water
And sad songs
Leaving me inside out

I can't believe
It was all so long ago
Why am I only returning to you now?

Station of love burst and sad song
Why am I inside out?
The rifle in his hand and sad song
Why am I inside out?

---------------------------
Dance To Me

Dance to me
A little dance
To me.

And down in the gloaming
Into the park
Where frosty nettles quiver
And new found love hasten you

I shall return
And worm the night with you

Flicker and night time
Moonlight and stare
Where frosty nettles quiver
And new found love hasten you.

Flexing her flower
Eclat of moth
Where frosty nettles quiver
And new found love hasten you

Shadow Psychology

Utopian mysteries flickering pages
Shadow psychology

Globalisation a brief introduction
Higher dimensions

Magical image shape on the surface
Data glove gestures

Try understanding tangled quadrillions
Nano technology
