Porcupine Tree - The Long Silence Lyrics
[Lyrics: Alan Duffy / Music: Steven Wilson]
A systematic killer
Returning from Madrid
Murdered Mozart in his garden
He was chosen by his elders
Sitting on the shelf
They passed his heart to Satan
Who showered them with wealth
A Purple Haze crawled on the lawn
Where lonely angels played
And Shakespeare wrote of Vietnam
While a president decayed
Hollow laughter from below
As Manson dance inside the flames
And the yellow changed to blue
Swinging from a length of rope
Ruth Ellis blew a kiss
Merlin spoke to Norma Jean
And granted her a wish
Mark Chapman stared at fantasy
Bare wires burned his brain
As Sergeant Pepper led the band
Playing through the rain
The third eye on the surface
Opens up my mind
Twin visions in production
This long silence you will find

Enjoy this song....
I hear the cure.
One of my favorites from old Wilson.
A systematic killer
Returning from Madrid
Murdered Mozart in his garden
Mussolini ran and hid
He was chosen by his elders
Sitting on the shelf
They passed his heart to Satan
Who showered them with wealth
A Purple Haze crawled on the lawn
Where lonely angels played
And Shakespeare wrote of Vietnam
While a president decayed
Hollow laughter from below
Cracked the sky in two
As Manson dance inside the flames
And the yellow changed to blue
Swinging from a length of rope
Ruth Ellis blew a kiss
Merlin spoke to Norma Jean
And granted her a wish
Mark Chapman stared at fantasy
Bare wires burned his brain
As Sergeant Pepper led the band
Playing through the rain
The third eye on the surface
Opens up my mind
Twin visions in production
This long silence you will find

Creepy... love this song
the best off of the album for me, i absolutely love it! the choruses and the outro are just pure eargasm, love the layers and the soaring guitar so much, the when it gets the outro and he's singing, it just destroys me in the best possible way
+albywelch It is a damn good song indeed.
