Commentary
Comments from the "Natural
Selection" liner notes (by Mark Seymour):
She's standing at the gate about to depart for Tokyo to pursue
dubious employment. She doesn't want to go, doesn't know why she's going, runs
off... tears streaming down her face. Hardly joyous. That came later.
Lyrics
Come on confess with confusion...
spread it around
They trickle down your cheek...tears
fall like seed on barren ground
Your thoughts are scattered like
paper everywhere
Tiny piece of laughter and despair
But you cry true tears of joy
Passion is your weakness but you feed
it everyday
Like a moth to the naked flame... you
just can't keep away
You twist the truth and you turn the
other cheek
But everybody knows it's just
salvation that you seek
And you cry true tears of joy
Yeh you cry true tears of joy... oh
yeah, alright
It flickers on your face
I can see it in your eyes
I knew for you a moment
So don't be so surprised
It's only pleasure that you can't
resist
But say one word of truth and I'll
see you cry
True tears of joy
Yeah you cry true tears of joy
[repeat]
