Another Universe - Golden Silvers

I was feeling so mortal

Legends were lined by my side

The world was standing on its head

My senses had forsaken me

And I saw through a million eyes

And I saw them waiting for me

Their lashes painted black

Their eyes were like a crucifix

Their lips were as pink as Cadillacs

I was feeling like an angel

My madman was waiting in the wings

Just to hear his cue

Then I felt just like the devil’s son

Wasted, wounded, on the run

Then I felt just like me and you

And I saw them surrounding me

With mirrors and rose-tinted bones

Wearing only a lion’s mane

One hand on the golden horn

And one hand on the telephone

And it’s a strange way down

From the cradle to the hearse

Take me back or put me in reverse

'Cos you’ll never be the last one

And you’ll never be the first

Maybe we’ll all meet again

In another universe

Oh and then I was a titan

A hero of the silver screen

Just waiting for my bell

And then I was a troubadour

Wailing waif the girls adore

Then I was the hounds of hell

And I heard them blowing kisses

From within their satin sheets

Where their bodies lay

Like arrows and bows

Boys falling at their feet

I’m son of the richest man

The sister of an outcast

Oh today I’m in the future

Tomorrow I’ll be in the past

I’m daughter of a daydream

The brother of a madman

I’ve changed my name so often

I’m beginning not to care

Now I feel my powers fading

As the blueprints and diagrams

And history books hold me to their hip

And my limbs start trembling

As my vision starts fading

And my spirit starts to slip

And I see them wave goodbye

Their left hand was casting a curse

While singing songs of paradise

From another universe
