Pigface: Asphole

Lyrics:

A thin wormed process smile
Union made the snake defiled
Blue book murder
The best you could
Less in spite heaven twisted
Candid photos intermixed in
Sealing backdoor mud realized
Dirty corners of the mind
Faceless father figure hands
Sitting in eye and wasted
Pick yourself up off the floor
Shaken angel taken home
Clicking heels gold brick road
No place like home it seems
Now together shadow writhing
You world comes comes crashing down

Rain
The gasping now
Rain
The melting snow
Rain
Cold image much larger than life
Rain
Comes crashing down
Rain
Go pour it on
Rain
Forever you'll live with this curse

So was it once crack corner smile
Now living out the lie
Notion vixen man so proud
Seems so innocent inside
Seems quite a horror show
Treat it like a child who knows
The mascot reveals the worst
Tilted and hungry
Suicide suicide a suicide a suicide a suicide a suicide
Children went hungry
Children went hungry
Suicide

Rain
This is your song
Rain
It lingers on
Rain
Your royalty consumed by a vice
Rain
That acid sound
Rain
Believe it all
Rain
Together you'll live with this curse

Go through the doorway world subjective
Shrink away from those who see
Weeded wicked garden grows
Slither down the asphole
Looking backward a performance
Light show of your own device
Crack of penny torture matters
Talking through a mirror that says it all
Finger asphole
Locked finger asphole
Locked finger asphole
Locked finger asphole
Locked finger the asphole
Locked finger the asphole
Locked finger
Locked finger
Locked finger
Locked finger

Rain
The gasping now
Rain
The melting snow
Rain
Cold image much larger than life
Rain
Comes crashing down
Rain
Go pour it on
Rain
Forever you'll live with this curse
Rain
This is your song
Rain
It lingers on
Rain
Your royalty consumed by a vice
Rain
That acid sound
Rain
Believe it all
Rain
Together you'll live with this curse

(???)
Rain rain rain rain
(???)

Live with this curse

Notes:

  • Features Ogre on lead vocals. He receives co-writting credit and is presumably responsible for the lyrics.
  • The very last line is sung by Genesis P'Orridge.
  • References (presumably) the Skinny Puppy song Rain both in the choruses and the line "so was it once crack corner smile". Furthermore, the "locked finger" also recalls the "finger cramp virtuoso closet problem" of Human Disease (S.K.U.M.M.). The "talking through a mirror" and "torture matters" also seem to refer to some of Ogre's previous stage shows, "looking backward [to] a performance" as it were).
