TREACLE FOR THE SNARK
STAND IN A LINE, TO MAKE IT ON TIME
LISTEN TO WORDS, ALWAYS UNHEARD
SEEING THE SIGN , ALL FOR THE BLIND
SICKLES WILL SLICE, PRAYERS FOR THE DICE
PULL DOWN THE SHADE, DARKNESS WILL FADE
FOLDED IN HANDS, LIGHTING THE CANDELABRA
YES IT’S TREACLE, TREACLE, TREACLE FOR THE SNARK
WALK ON THE GROUND, HEAD UPSIDE DOWN
KNOW WHAT IT’S WORTH, TO NEVER UNEARTH
SECRETS YOU FIND, ANOTHER KIND
SHUTTING THE DOOR, JUST BRINGS IN MORE
TALE ON THE FACE, ISN’T THE CASE
SMASH UP THE GRAND, LIGHTING THE CANDELABRA
YES IT’S TREACLE, TREACLE, TREACLE FOR THE SNARK
RUNNING BACKWARDS AND SLACKEN THE SMILE ON YOUR FACE
DIZZY BLACKBIRDS AND FASTEN A CHOKE ON THE CHASE
RUNNING BACKWARDS AND TRACKING A HOLE INTO SPACE
RUNNING BACKWARDS UNTIL WE ARE GONE FROM THIS PLACE
RECITING DRONES ON, INTO THE DAWN
DRUNKARDS IN LACE, SPEAKING OF GRACE
CAUGHT FROM BEHIND, TASSELS UNWIND
IN BED WITH THE GRAND, SMASHING THE CANDELABRA
YES IT’S TREACLE, TREACLE, TREACLE FOR THE SNARK

SPACER ANNIE
ORBITALS OF CRYSTALLINE
A SILVER FLASHING DREAM MACHINE
THROUGH VOIDS OF INTERSTELLAR NIGHT
VIOLENT COLORS EVER THROUGH
THE VORTEX OF HER SIRENS CALL
WHILE JOINING IN HER HEADLONG FLIGHT
SPACER ANNIE, SPACER ANNIE, SPACER ANNIE
SHE IS, SHE IS, SHE IS LOVE
STARDUST IMAGE IN THE MIRROR
AN INFINITE OBSESSION NEAR
THAT ECHOS LAUGHING IN HER SIGHT
SPLITTING TIME TO RAVAGE MINDS
THE WORLDS TO END AND EYES TO BLIND
YOU KNOW SHE’LL ALWAYS GET IT RIGHT
SPACER ANNIE, SPACER ANNIE, SPACER ANNIE
SHE IS, SHE IS, SHE IS LOVE
SPACER ANNIE, SPACER ANNIE, SPACER ANNIE
SHE IS, SHE IS, SHE IS LOVE

STRANGELY TASTE THE SUN
THE LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT AND NOW WE FALL
DOWN THE DAYS AND DOWN THE SKY AND AROUND THROUGH IT ALL
OVER THE HILLS IN SPECTRAL LIVES
THEY DON’T MEAN A THING UNTIL WE’RE CAUGHT IN OUR LIES
NOW WE REALLY WANT TO
STRANGELY, STRANGELY, STRANGELY TASTE THE SUN
RUNNING FOREVER NEVER WAITS
HOLDING FREEDOM IN A FLUTTER, LOVE IS HATE
FORMING TONIGHT IN VISIONS THAT FLY
INTERWOVEN, INTROSPECT INTERIOR MINDS
AND NOW WE REALLY WANT TO
STRANGELY, STRANGELY, STRANGELY TASTE THE SUN
BLURED WITH THE SPEED AND SHIFTING FAST
HOLLOW VIEWS WE SEE OF AGES, FUTURE PAST
FEATHERS OF THOUGHT HANG IN OUR PLACE
INTERSTELLAR, INTERSPATIAL, INTERFACE
NOW WE REALLY WANT TO
STRANGELY, STRANGELY, STRANGELY TASTE THE SUN
TASTE THE SUN
COME AND WE’LL TASTE THE SUN, DON’T BE LONG

HIGH ON A MUSHROOM CLOUD
THE VOICE SO SOFT, THE WORDS SO LOUD
ALWAYS SLEEP WITH AN EAR TO THE GROUND
CURSE THE TICKING SECOND HAND
HOW COULD I MISUNDERSTAND, NOW I’M
HIGH ON A MUSHROOM CLOUD
THE RUINED WORLD SPINNING DOWN
ONLY DISTANT DYING SOUNDS
FALLING SKIES OVER THE LAND
HOW COULD I MISUNDERSTAND, NOW I’M
HIGH ON A MUSHROOM CLOUD
YOUR FIXATION’S SO UNREAL
LIVING WASTED IN BLACKENED FIELDS
CURSE THE TICKING SECOND HAND
HOW COULD I MISUNDERSTAND
HOW COULD I MISUNDERSTAND, NOW I’M
HIGH ON A MUSHROOM CLOUD

WITCHING GLASS WORLD
FALLING THROUGH A PINHOLE COLORS FLOW
WALKING THROUGH THE NIGHT IN THE GOLDEN SNOW
FACES ON THE WALLS GAZE THROUGH YOUR EYES
LOOKING TROUGH THE WINDOW TO THE OTHER SIDE
IT’S A SCENE IN A SWRIL, IN A WITCHING GLASS WORLD
ENLACED IN THE AIR, IN A FAR OFF STARE
IN A WITCHING GLASS WORLD, HER SPELLS UNFURLED
DON’T RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY
NOTHING IN THE ROOM BUT GREY AND BLACK
A MELONCHOLY MASK THAT MAKES YOU GLAD
STAND ATOP THE HILLS WHERE MOONBEAMS RISE
JOURNEY THROUGH THE CORRIDOR HAS MADE YOU WISE
IT’S A SCENE IN A SWRIL, IN A WITCHING GLASS WORLD
ENLACED IN THE AIR, IN A FAR OFF STARE
IN A WITCHING GLASS WORLD, SPELLS UNFURLED
DON’T RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY
FALLING THROUGH A PINHOLE COLORS FLOW
WALKING THROUGH THE NIGHT IN THE GOLDEN SNOW
FACES ON THE WALLS GAZE THROUGH YOUR EYES
STEPPING THROUGH THE DOOR TO THE OTHER SIDE
IT’S A SCENE IN A SWRIL, IN A WITCHING GLASS WORLD
ENLACED IN THE AIR, IN A FAR OFF STARE
IN A WITCHING GLASS WORLD, SPELLS UNFURLED
DON’T RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY, WITCHING GLASS WORLD

ETHER TRIPPERS
SINCE WE LEFT THE EARTH, LOST IN STAR GLOW
SINCE WE LEFT THE EARTH, SO FAR BELOW
IN THE LIGHT OF DREAMING, EVER SEEMING, IN YOUR HEAD
INSIDE ONLY SCREAMING, AND THE LAUGHTER, OF THE DEAD
SINCE WE LEFT EARTH, HEAVEN’S UNSEEN
SINCE WE LEFT THE EARTH, HOLLOW SUNBEAMS
IN THE DARK ILLUSION, SAD OCCLUSION, THE LINES ARE TREAD
GONE BEYOND THE MORTAL, GIVE THE CALL NOW, THE TRANCE IS SHED
SINCE WE LEFT THE EARTH
SINCE WE LEFT THE EARTH
ETHER TRIPPERS
SINCE WE LEFT THE EARTH, SO FAR BELOW
SINCE WE LEFT THE EARTH, LOST IN STAR GLOW
NOW THE SKY IS GLEAMING, AND WE LEAD THINGS STRAIGHT AHEAD
MOBIUS CREATURES BLEEDING, INCANTATIONS NOW ARE SAID,
CHROME RED EYES OF ANGER, ALL TO STRANGLE DOOM AND DREAD,
BARRIERS BROKEN, EVERYTHING SPOKEN, TOMORROW TO BEHEAD
SINCE WE LEFT THE EARTH
SINCE WE LEFT THE EARTH
SINCE WE LEFT THE EARTH
ETHER TRIPPERS

ORBITING ENDLESSLY
TURNING RINGS OF VELVET, SPINNING IN THE SKY
TIME HAS TURNED TO VAPOR, AND TWISTED YOU IN VINES
WATCHING THE STARS GO ROUND AND DOWN
HEAVENS AND EARTH COLLIDE
FAR ABOVE IT ALL I TURN
FAR ABOVE IT ALL, ORBITING ENDLESSLY
SPARKLES IN THE DARKNESS, MICROSPOIC DREAMS
FEEL THE EVER CHANGING, EXACTLY WHAT IT SEEMS
WATCHING THE STARS GO ROUND AND DOWN
HEAVENS AND EARTH COLLIDE
FAR ABOVE IT ALL I TURN
FAR ABOVE IT ALL, ORBITING ENDLESSLY
GLOWING RINGS OF VELVET,SHINE FOR ALL TO SEE
AND THE EVER CHANGING, EXACTLY WHAT IT SEEMS
WATCHING THE STARS GO ROUND AND DOWN
HEAVENS AND EARTH COLLIDE
FAR ABOVE IT ALL I TURN
FAR ABOVE IT ALL, ORBITING ENDLESSLY

DISINTEGRATE
COMING DOWN FAST OVER GOLDEN SEAS
HEAD RUSH INTO THE SPEED
QUEEN OF SIGHS ON HER SILVER STEED
SHE HOLDS THE ONLY KEY
DISINTEGRATION CALLING ME
NOW, NOW
GOING UP IN A LAND OF NIGHT
DARK EYES IN SHADOWS HIDE
GLOWING HAZE OF THE FALLEN SKY
SO BRIGHT ON A MOUNTAIN SIDE
DISINTEGRATION CALLING ME
NOW, NOW
COMING DOWN OVER GOLDEN SEAS
HEART BEATS INTO THE SPEED
HEAVY BROOD OF ELECTRIC SCREAMS
I HOLD THE ONLY KEY
DISINTEGRATION CALLING ME
NOW, NOW

WATCHING WITH THE EYES THAT WILL NEVER FADE
LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF THE AGE

AMOEBA CHRIST
IN THE END THE STREET LIGHTS BURN
ABOVE THE LIES OBSCENE OF LIFE WE LIVE TODAY
SILENCE FALLING FROM THE GROUND
WISHING FOR THE MINDS THAT NEVER CAN BE SAVED
SKY SHIPS RAINING CHEER, EVERYONE IS HERE
ALL HAIL, AMOEBA CHRIST, THE SILVER ONE IS BORN TODAY
ALL HAIL, AMOEBA CHRIST, AND KNOW THE WAY, KNOW THE WAY
MAKE THE WORLD TO TEAR APART
IN VISIONS FAR HORIZONS, DYING STARS
FOOTFALL FROM A YESTERDAY
ONLY FIND THE SPECTRAL LINES REMAIN
SKY SHIPS RAINING CHEER, EVERYONE IS HERE
ALL HAIL, AMOEBA CHRIST, THE SILVER ONE IS BORN TODAY
ALL HAIL, AMOEBA CHRIST, AND KNOW THE WAY, KNOW THE WAY
SEVERED SOLDIERS IN THE FIELDS
ALL BLACKENED SCARS AN ORANGE PEELED
FEATHERD BEDS AND FLOWERED EELS
CONFUSION’S ALL WE EVER FEEL
IN THE MIST THE SHADOWS STIR
AND VANCANT VOICES STILL UNHEARD
IN REVERSE TO COUNTER EARTH,
WHERE SERPENTS GRIN AND SAY THE WORD
ASCEND THE RISING VINE
BEYOND THE END OF TIME
IN THE END THE STREET LIGHTS BURN
ABOVE THE LIES OBSCENE OF LIFE WE LIVE TODAY
SILENCE FALLING FROM THE SOUND
ONLY FIND THE SPECTRAL LINES REMAIN
SKY SHIPS RAINING CHEER, EVERYONE IS HERE
ALL HAIL, AMOEBA CHRIST, THE SILVER ONE IS BORN TODAY
ALL HAIL, AMOEBA CHRIST, AND KNOW THE WAY, KNOW THE WAY
AND WE SING, ALL HAIL
AND WE SING, ALL HAIL
AND WE SING, ALL HAIL
AND WE SING, ALL HAIL . . .

I cannot believe Mark has left the building😢 That said, his legacy is living strong. Gary Lee Conner has crafted an 'alternative' masterpiece. That's the 90s alternative that I remember. Michael stated his review spot on. If you were/are a fan of the Screaming Trees, you must pursue this gem. Also A.J. Kaufman must have listened to a ton as well if you listen to what he's been doing
