Pérolas 248 (especial That Petrol Emotion)

“Blue To Black” (live) – That Petrol Emotion

Mirror fragments that are staring back
Livid lips and an eye that's turning blue to black
Cracked

Sweaty walls that keep me company
And the stink of perfume primes my memory
Luxury

Takes you in its arms won't you honey hush
Senses drawing skin that crawls and squirms to touch
Crushed
Whisper words into my mouth and bite
Coming up for air and to suffocate delight
Spite

Mirror fragments that are staring back
Livid lips and an eye that's turning blue to black
Cracked
With an after-taste so sweetly sour
I embrace the shame as it hugs me cheek by jowl

Howl

“Cellophane” – That Petrol Emotion

In a world and in its sounds
In any street in any town I go
There's a wreckage of desire
Of feelings never hired or sold
Where cellophane and thunder always come
And the factories of fantasies belong

I can only find the murder machine
I can only find the murder machine

From a notion of the times
To the hoodlum kitchen minds that die
From every mutant hour
To those who have the power who don't try
Where the surplus sounds of sanity grow hoarse
And an abject slave mentality gets worse

I can only find the murder machine
I can only find the murder machine

 “Hey Venus” – That Petrol Emotion

For sure for sure and actual
You swear by all that's factual
Insane elastic joy despair

Figures dance and bebop
Take me away from the drop
I cannot help but stand and stare

Sawdust Casanovas
Are dying to take over
Lipstick on bankrolls, it's a deal

Telling stinking lies
Cheap chat and shifty eyes
Double the price you gotta steal

Hey Venus
Hey Venus
Wants us all so bad
Hope it drives her mad

Holy rolling thinkers
Knee jerks and lovesick drinkers
Eyeball each other through the haze

Swapping tales of woe
Ozone and G.I. Joe
They can they do and guess who pays

Hey Venus
Hey Venus
Wants us all so bad
Hope it drives her mad

Time to spit it out, wash it down the spout
You don't have to kiss because you pout
All those high hopes locked up inside
Let 'em out, put your doubt aside

Hey Venus
Hey Venus
Wants us all so bad
Hope it drives her mad

Hey Venus
Hey Venus
Wants us all so bad
Hope it drives her mad

“Sensitize” – That Petrol Emotion

Heard a secret and saw you smilin'
So convincing, you're so beguiling
Leave me breathless
And I can't think straight at all

Cold as starlight
You sting like sunburn
Searching blindfold you, melt my fingers
Summer bleeds for you, testifies

Ultrafervor
Head to toe
Sensitizes
Burns and glows
Helter swelter

Sweet and slow
Avalanche
Avalanche
Avalanche

Heard a secret and saw you smilin'
So convincing, you're so beguiling
Leave me breathless
And I can't think straight at all

Damburst drowning
Your favorite feelings
Avalanches that chill all healing
Spurning indigo celebrate

Ultrafervor
Head to toe
Sensitizes
Burns and glows
Helter swelter

Sweet and slow
Avalanche
Avalanche
Avalanche

Helter swelter
Sweet and slow
Helter swelter
Sweet and slow
Helter swelter
Sweet and slow
