about

Imagining the same protagonists from Silver Rocket growing up and encountering the romantic principle of attraction/repulsion.

lyrics

Take the rocket ship
Straight up to Bitterbridge
Where the atmosphere is clearer to the hearer
The bad news travels light they say
But it’s a balm to the bourgeoisie
And how they love to steal the show

Well I don’t own you, and I can see
That there’s nothing in yr heart for me
But lies and little truths that make it difficult to be
I don’t owe you anything
And I could never be yr King
With these Poison Princes echoing
The promises I sing

How they love you, Belladonna
They all wanna to be yr man
But yr heart is blacker than yr eyes are grey
Do they understand?
Oh they love to love you baby
They wanna take you out tonight
But you push them away while you pull me in
Won’t you see the light?

Catch the milky tide
Straight across the city’s side
You’re looking sickly dressed
So strictly pale
Burn another cigarette to the end
Find yourself a friend
And break his heart
To see him cry

I knew if it were you what would you do
And ah, if it were me,
Who would I be?

I love you, Belladonna
Yeah, I really wanna be yr man
But yr heart is blacker than yr eyes are grey
Do you understand?

The Great Speckled Fritillary Vancouver, British Columbia

The lovely butterfly-dragons of Sona-Nyl are insectoid creatures with beautifully-patterned wings, insect-like legs and long, curved necks and tails. These creatures feed solely on nectar, fragrant odours and silence. If threatened, a butterfly-dragon responds by emitting a rose-coloured mist from glands along the sides of its body. Anyone inhaling or even touching this mist goes deaf. ... more
