Sunstroke House Songtext
von Augie March

O frigid and mute
O rank rainbow toad
I′d break apart to
That note which you note
I fall from the wall
I leap from the road
You take cover in the clover
You dodge shoulder the load

Wagner and Boek
Drama and strife
Their syphilitic friend
Dionysos is wise not to us

Where sunstroke howls
Where's the crow on the far fence
Where′s the mill by the boat

Pale with horror I saw you
When your bird flew

Now who in the whole low world
Has been kind to you


Save for a kindly ugly few
Don't read it, don't watch it
Don′t do what they do
Don′t read it, don't watch it
Don′t do what they do

From the wind in the winter
No mercy, no quarter
From the summer no mercy
And little goes well
That's where you live
That′s where you live
Till the gale rips your sails
Till the veil kills your mill

Where have you been
My hate, my shadow
How well did you like the song
I've felt it so full
Of nonsense and unknown
You feel like there′s something
Forgotten or fell
You feel like there's something
Forgotten or fell


Pale with horror I saw you
When your bird flew
Now who in the whole low world
Has been kind to you
Save for a kindly ugly few
Don't read it, don′t watch it
Don′t do what they do
Don't read it, don′t watch it
Don't do what they do

Pink lipped pot
Golden maid sitting
Portraits of withering roots
Pretty diversions
Pointless excursions
Pleasant distractions
Underground mutes
