i was just looking through the album art work and i always wondered why some words in the lyrics are in bold ? there has to be a reason for this and i figured this is the best place to try and get it figured out. here are all the lyrics that are in bold for some reason.....
Greasy Jungle
-metropolis noir
Yawning or Snarling
-take a look at this photograph
Inch an Hour
-book
-make me feel
-insanity
-move through night
-bemused
-winter
-in the dark
-i'm helpless
-with
-space
Emergency
-we're
-no longer
-emergency
Titanic Terrarium
-if there's glory in miracles
-it's that they're reversible
again, i always wondered why some words were bolded... anyone know why?

Well since no one knows the answer to that one - how about this.
When Trouble At The Henhouse came out - the website advertised 12 songs and a sonnet.
I never understood that. There are only 12 songs.
Can anyone explain?

Ascetic-thin, coveted by vultures
And rendered childlike by the road
Das Hips repair to leeward culture
They back the truck up and unload
And get down to finding fresh pretense
To mistake the dream for prescience
The one where siren's honey tones
Leads us up to the microphones
Her instructions couldn't be more plain
Fear no reflection, fear no art
Let the manual be your heart
The blues are still required again
The trouble at the henhouse is
Her voice, it lulls then vanishes
... ah, memories.

Thanx.
