Meurglys III (The Songwriters Guild) (2005 Digital Remaster) - Van Der Graaf Generator[00:20:49]
These days I mainly just talk to plants and dogs-[00:20:49]
all human contact seems painful, risky, odd,[00:20:49]
so I stay acting god in my own universe[00:20:49]
where I trade cigarettes in return for songs.[00:20:49]
The deal's made harder the longer I go on:[00:20:49]
I find me gone from all but the secret languages.[00:20:49]
If only I could phrase satisfactory words[00:20:49]
in conversation to make my passion heard....[00:20:49]
If only...[00:20:49]
Meurglys III, he's my friend,[00:20:49]
the only one that I can trust[00:20:49]
to let it be without pretence[00:20:49]
-there's no-one else.[00:20:49]
It's killing me, but in the end[00:20:49]
there's no-one else I know is true;[00:20:49]
there's none in all the masks of men.[00:20:49]
There's nothing else[00:20:49]
but my guitar...[00:20:49]
I suppose he'll have to do.[00:20:49]
Talking in tongues is easy when you know how,[00:20:49]
quite pleasing, but still nothing works out right.[00:20:49]
Pressurised lungs, heart bleeding, you'd better slow down[00:20:49]
and show that you can make it through the night.[00:20:49]
However dark it seems, the present is just the present,[00:20:49]
beyond it no future darkness lies concealed[00:20:49]
and through these desperate dreams,[00:20:49]
this longing for friends and comfort[00:20:49]
you know that in the end all will be revealed.[00:20:49]
When no more plants or dogs or rooms are there[00:20:49]
to hear you[00:20:49]
and no-one is left near you, then you'll see:[00:20:49]
in the end there's only you and Meurglys III[00:20:49]
and this is just what you chose to be,[00:20:49]
fool![00:20:49]
Though I know all this is just escape,[00:20:49]
I run because I don't know where the prison lies.[00:20:49]
In songs like this I can bear the weight....[00:20:49]
I'm running still[00:20:49]
I shall until[00:20:49]
one day I hope that I'll arrive[00:20:49]
