Victim Appreciation Night

from Open Hearts Open Minds by This Mad Desire

/

lyrics

Good evening, people -make yourselves at home
Thanks for coming -you won’t go home alone
Most of you are here because sleep gives you no rest
Nightmares indicate that you are all quite depressed
It’s anger right by wrong
It’s sadness live by long
It’s sickness cure by dream
It’s love mind by machine
It’s Victim Appreciation Night at the Maudlin Hotel
The grass is always greener on the other side of hell

Our mouths are stuffed with truth and our hearts with old age
We all gag on our thoughts and our blood it spurts with rage
We’re so frustrated with divine technology
So we gave up on God in our victim eschatology
In a Paris made of light
In a crowd let loose with fright
A French spoken with might
Translates into death tonight
It’s Victim Appreciation Night at the Maudlin Hotel
The grass is always greener on the other side of hell

We need money or love will fail
We need art or we will die
We need love or art will fail
We need money or we will die
You see, we’re guilty if you don’t drown and innocent if you do
Hello I have a story
Tonight I communed with the dead
I went underground and their words wormed in my head
