father lucifer
you never looked so sane
you always did prefer the drizzle to the rain
tell me that you're still in love with that milkmaid
how's the lizzies
how's your jesus christ been hanging

nothing gonna stop me from floating
nothing gonna stop me from floating

he says he reckons i'm a watercolour stain
he says i run and then i run from him
and then i run
he didn't see me watching
from the aeroplane
he wiped a tear
and then he threw away our appleseed

nothing gonna stop me from floating

everyday's my wedding day
though baby's still in his comatose state
i'll die my own easter eggs
don't go yet
and beenie lost the sunset but that's but that's ok
does joe bring flowers to marilyn's grave
and girls that eat pizza but never gain weight
father lucifer you never looked so sane



"Father Lucifer is really about going to have a cup of tea with Lucifer, which I had to do. Now, when I say Lucifer, I'm talking about the feelings that we hide from ourselves [not something that's twisted and evil, like during the Inquisition when they used Christianity to torture people. That's Satanism.] I had to go in this record when I was trying to find parts of myself that I had not let scream and dance and have a tear. I went to go visit Lucifer to get my talisman, which means my little magic key that took me to the places that I hadn't let myself go. That's really about having a little tango, a little dance, with Lucifer. The idea that Dark is not a scary thing if you go in there understanding there is a purity in Darkness. There's also a lot of distortion in Darkness. It's a choice where you want to go, and I wanted to get to the truth, not to the drama and to keeping me from the truth."
