Written On Rice

I find it hard to choose
which side should win or lose.

An act and a recital
and leprosy is vital.

It is a grand display
of prophesy and play.

Water in the wound and
fire in the alcove
I know what it's really
open up your eyes and
Can it! Action! Please!

Well it tastes nice
because it's written on rice and
it's as thin as anything you'll see.
Well it tastes nice
because it's written on rice
and it's only a meal to me.

We see the son go down
behind the solid ground.

Knew he was a giver a
heart becomes a liver twice.

Enforced a dreaming spire
a target to retire.

Playing with the dew drops
taking up a few drops more
it's like the final fold
it's like the longest dream
it's like a story lost

but it tastes nice
because it's written on rice and
it's as thin as anything you'll see.
Well it tastes nice
because it's written on rice
and it's only a meal to me.

I think a captive hold
is like a William told

blinking without lashes
underneath the bike sheds
never bashing mens heads
liking even facists.

Subdue the prostitute
with just a little tongue.

Do another trick please
everybody knows you
Can! Action! Bend!

So count the cost
of every found that was lost
and every parted wave in every sea
and don't think twice
of reading writing on rice but
know it's only a meal to me.

Can't you see what I'm saying, Satan?
Can't you see what you are you sexy beast?
Just another priest.

(solo)

A carnival of kings
where only losers win

Piety and pleasure
piracy and treasure
Avalon pretending
and feeling like the end is next
it's like the dawn is here
it's like the people say, the end is nigh
and all they want to do is pray.

Don't hold my hand
because I don't understand,
it's all just a game to me
but it tastes nice
because it's written on rice and
it's as thin as anything you'll see.
Yes, it's thin as anything you'll read.
Yes, it's thin as anything.
Yes, it's thin as anything you'll be.
