Short Term Effect

The Cure are an English rock band formed in Crawley, West Sussex in 1976. The band has experienced several line-up changes, with frontman, vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter Robert Smith being the only constant member. The Cure first began releasing music in the late 1970s with its debut album Three Imaginary Boys (1979); this, along with several early singles, placed the band as part of the post-punk and New Wave movements that had sprung up in the wake of the punk rock revolution in the United Kingdom. During the early 1980s, the band's increasingly dark and tormented music helped form the gothic rock genre. more »

Movement 
No movement 
Just a falling bird 
Cold as it hits the bleeding ground 
He lived and died 
Catch sight 
Cover me with earth 
Draped in black 
Static 
White sound 
A day without substance 
A change of thought 
An atmosphere that rots with time 
Colors that flicker in water 
A short term effect 

Scream 
As she tries to push him over 
Helpless and sick 
With teeth of madness 
Jump jump dance and sing 
Sideways across the desert 
A charcoal face 
Bites my hand 
Time is sweet 

Derange and disengage everything 
A day without substance 
A change of thought 
The atmosphere rots with time 
Colors that flicker in water 
A short term effect 

A short term effect 
A short term effect 
An echo 
And a stranger's hand 
A short term effect 
An echo 
And a stranger's hand 
A short term effect
