lyrics
There's bitterness as sound over silence pours down
Into her mouth to stopher breath behind her teeth
When like a miracle above her dry tears built to flood
Across the mountains and the deserts of her cheeks
She said 'why would you leave me on my own,
too soon as the harbinger comes'
The burdens of your lonely spouse
Oh you never could've hoped to be the only one he dreamed of
You might have known it from the start
The circus of his promises left a fool in the shadows of the dawn
Who might have loved him from the start
The want of your desire like smoke above the fire
C ould've slipped in through the keyhole of your door
L ike a theif under your skin come to steal you from within
A nd make you do the things you never would before
She said 'why would you leave me on my own,
too soon as the harbinger comes'
If all this draws to nothing
And if the truth is just a price to bargain with
When for all I know
He might have known it from the start
I walked around her house
With no excuses or reasons for being there
Except that I had loved him from
Loved him from the start
Into her mouth to stopher breath behind her teeth
When like a miracle above her dry tears built to flood
Across the mountains and the deserts of her cheeks
She said 'why would you leave me on my own,
too soon as the harbinger comes'
The burdens of your lonely spouse
Oh you never could've hoped to be the only one he dreamed of
You might have known it from the start
The circus of his promises left a fool in the shadows of the dawn
Who might have loved him from the start
The want of your desire like smoke above the fire
C ould've slipped in through the keyhole of your door
L ike a theif under your skin come to steal you from within
A nd make you do the things you never would before
She said 'why would you leave me on my own,
too soon as the harbinger comes'
If all this draws to nothing
And if the truth is just a price to bargain with
When for all I know
He might have known it from the start
I walked around her house
With no excuses or reasons for being there
Except that I had loved him from
Loved him from the start

about
Fronz Arp Brisbane, Australia
The strange machine which is Fronz Arp grinds like a tattered, angry little hurdy gurdy. With dramatic jaunt and seesawing
melodies that have been compared to weird-pop wonders, such as David Bowie and Tom Waits
“...songs full of drama and action, designed to get pulses racing and yet still sounding both intricate and adventurous” Rave Magazine
