Black Henbane - A Difficult Dance

Another song from Black Henbane's debut album "Picturesque Ruins" (available at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/blackhenbane ). The video is somewhat hallucinogenic. It creates a trippy optical illusion effect: if you stare at your full screen throughout the song, and then into the corner of your room, you might see it moving towards you. Repeated viewings may cause nausea in prone persons, but, of course, the song is worth it ;-). Not sure if it works for everybody's eyes, but for most people it does.

Lyrics

Some say we better should have stayed
In the caves, but its too late now
to look back and to return
The fires lit, and we must burn.
So let us gather round the flames
To play those never changing games.

The salesmen of the Kingdom Come
Keep on beating their old drum
Like old comedians who choke
On their stale and bitter jokes
Well, some need incense, some need fun,
Some need some money or a gun

Hey, dont you bug God with your need for answers
Life is a difficult dance, hope you are good dancers

One cold and grey December night
I watched a lonely transvestite
The icy street was barely lit
One heel broke off, and he screamed Shit!
Hopped on one leg and waved his hands
It was a difficult dance

Hey, dont you bug God with your need for answers
Life is a difficult dance, hope you are good dancers

Beautifully done. Love the saturated colors. Hypnotic and transfixing. Most of all, the lyrics and music are a delightful combination. You can be sure that this is something to come back to, over and over again. Cheers, Joel
