Cascade Lyrics
oh the air was shining
shining like a wedding ring
barbed like sex
i felt 10,000 volts
my chest was full of eels
pushing through my usual skin
i opened up new wounds
pouting, shouting
oh love - like liquid falling
falling in cascades
oh love-lorn victims laughing
laughing in cascades
the sun was rich
rich with a song of sin
my breath melted my words
into strange alphabets
tormenting my tongue
pouting, shouting
the heartbeats were echoing
echoing the revolver
emptying into my mouth
i pulled a face from my pocket
and smiled a leper's grin
i felt somebody close
pouting, shouting
shining like a wedding ring
barbed like sex
i felt 10,000 volts
my chest was full of eels
pushing through my usual skin
i opened up new wounds
pouting, shouting
falling in cascades
oh love-lorn victims laughing
laughing in cascades
rich with a song of sin
my breath melted my words
into strange alphabets
tormenting my tongue
pouting, shouting
echoing the revolver
emptying into my mouth
i pulled a face from my pocket
and smiled a leper's grin
i felt somebody close
pouting, shouting

I've always seen this song as a rush of sexual emotions all rushing in a moment as lovers fall for a climax whilst thinking of these fantasies that they could possibly play out, but that's just the suggestion of a fan.
I've recently been listening to the "Nocturne" version of this song & I don't have a bloody idea what she's talking about!!
i don't actually know what it's about, but i've always saw it as a very sexual song
I always thought it went: "The sun was red / wretched sun of sin"... Are these the lyrics from the liner notes?
A great song from a great album, in any case....
It's about tripping balls.
