lyrics

I am a pirate
You are less than treasure
Is this adventure?
Or is it even cool
If I sail your empty sky?

You are a mirror
I am less than handsome
Please bring it nearer
Could this be love
If a ghost is all that I can see?
We sleep until noon in a dusty cocoon
And we say, we say we've got it made
We swallow the time like a blood-thirsty wine
These are the days, the days of suede
The days of suede
The days of suede
The days of suede
The days of suede
Oh, we've got it made

I am an ulcer
You're a glass of milk
Questions are the answers
To all my questions
Still I thank you for all your sticky help
We sleep until noon in a dusty cocoon
And we say, we say we've got it made
We swallow the time like blood-thirsty wine
These are the days, the days of suede

I am a spaceman
Without an orbit
I'd sell this tin can
If I could afford it
So I sail your empty sky
We sleep until noon in a dusty cocoon
We swallow the time like blood-thirsty wine
We stare down the moon through the sunshades of doom
And we say, we say we've got it made
Oh, the days of suede

about

Myself a Living Torch San Francisco, California

By turns surreal, beautiful, arch, and melancholic, MaLT’s sonic adventures explore the meaning of love and role of sex in a failing, depersonalized culture. Literate enough for lasting relevance, tuneful enough for disposable pop; dark, sometimes heavy, but always with sly humor and a dash of hope. Active in SF CA between 1991 and 1993 ... Credit Louis-Ferdinand Céline for the incendiary name. ... more
