Another World

(Ork Records: Blank Generation e.p. vinyl, 1976, o.p.)
[rerecorded for Sire/Warners: Blank Generation LP 1977; cd rerelease, 1990]



Head wrapped in your hair

In a box lined with silk

You can't learn to talk

and the air is your milk



Erasing my face
I want you so bad

I want to be you

it's futile it's sad



Oh, oh baby

Oh, oh baby

Oh, oh baby

Oh oh oh

I could live with you in another world

I could live with you in another world

I could live with you in another world



Muscle against silk

Tears fall from the burn

A smell of perfume

In a moment you'll turn



In a moment you'll turn

Your face will change shape

We exchange just one gift:

to see like an ape



Oh, oh baby

Oh, oh baby

Oh, oh baby

Oh oh oh

I could live with you in another world

I could live with you in another world

I could live with you in another world



Oh so easy to go

drawn in the vacuum

At the time I'm in you

I'm alone in the back room



Down to the last raw

My eyes open wide

To collect all the scraps

Ten more years and they'll cry



Oh, oh baby

Oh, oh baby

Oh, oh baby

Oh oh oh

I could live with you in another world

I could live with you in another world

I could live with you in another world
