Lyrics[]
The new rose floating on water in the old clay bowl The white clouds on night sky The way they just roll on by Made me think of you And the religious cult of flesh dissolution you've committed yourself to Alagemo Alagemo The night crawlers poking their little slimy heads through the dirt Made me think of you again Made me think of you a third time I don't know where you've gone But I hear your voice droning on Alagemo Alagemo
