      Lyrics

      Twilight fades through blistered avalon

      The sky’s cruel torch on aching autobahn

      Into the uncertain divine

      We scream into the last divide

      You make me real

      You make me real

      Strong as I feel

      You make me real

      Sheila rides on crashing nightingale

      Intake eyes leave passing vapor trails

      With blushing brilliance alive

      Because it’s time to arrive

      You make me real

      You make me real

      Strong as I feel

      You make me real

      Lately I just can’t seem to believe

      Discard my friends to change the scenery

      It meant the world to hold a bruising faith

      But now it’s just a matter of grace

      A summer storm graces all of me

      Highway warm sing silent poetry

      I could bring you the light

      And take you home into the night

      You make me real / lately I just can’t seem to believe

      You make me real / discard my friends to change the scenery

      Strong as I feel / it meant the world to hold a bruising faith

      You make me real / but now it’s just a matter of grace

      Lyrics

      It’s you that I adore
      You will always be my whore
      You’ll be a mother to my child
      And a child to my heart
      We must never be apart
      We must never be apart
      Lovely girl you’re the beauty in my world
      Without you there aren’t reasons left to find
      And I’ll pull your crooked teeth
      You’ll be perfect just like me
      You’ll be a lover in my bed
      And a gun to my head
      We must never be apart
      We must never be apart
      Lovely girl you’re the murder in my world
      Dressing coffins for the souls I’ve left to die
      Drinking mercury to the mystery
      Of all that you should ever leave behind
      In time
      In you I see dirty
      In you I count stars
      In you I feel so pretty
      In you I taste god
      In you I feel so hungry
      In you I crash cars
      We must never be apart
      Drinking mercury to the mystery
      Of all that you should ever seek to find
      Lovely girl you’re the murder in my world
      Dressing coffins for the souls I’ve left behind
      In time
      We must never be apart
      And you’ll always be my whore
      Cause you’re the one that I adore
      And I’ll pull your crooked teeth
      You’ll be perfect just like me
      In you I feel so dirty
      In you I crash cars
      In you I feel so pretty
      In you I taste god
      We must never be apart

      Lyrics

      I know

      We’re just like old friends

      We just can’t pretend

      That lovers make amends

      We are

      Reasons so unreal

      We can’t help but feel

      That something has been lost

      But please

      You know you’re just like me

      Next time

      I promise we’ll be perfect

      Perfect

      Perfect

      Strangers down the line

      Lovers out of time

      Memories unwind

      So far I still know who you are

      But now I wonder who I was

      Angel

      You know it’s not the end

      We’ll always be good friends

      But the letters have been sent on

      So please

      You always were so free

      You’ll see

      I promise we’ll be perfect

      Perfect

      Perfect

      Strangers when we meet

      Strangers on the street

      Lovers while we sleep

      Perfect

      You know this has to be

      We always were so free

      We promised that we’d be

      Perfect

      Lyrics

      With the sugar sickness
      You spy the kidnap kid
      Who kids you to oblivion
      It’s the perfect hassle
      For the perfumed kiss
      He makes you miss him more than home
      You love him
      You love him more than this
      You love him
      And you cannot, you can’t resist
      You love him
      You love him for yourself
      You love him
      And no one, no one else
      Past sidewalk ashes
      A last lovers arc
      You come apart to intertwine
      It was all so simple
      As you watched him move
      Across the darkness in your room
      You love him
      You love him for yourself
      You love him
      And no one, no one else
      And to the winding vines
      The pretty boys dive
      And thru the pinhole stars
      Into the shadow mind
      Will you lose him then
      On some gentle dawn
      This boy is here and gone
      You love him
      You love him for yourself
      You love him
      And no one, no one else
      You love him
      You love him more than this
      You love him
      And you cannot, you can’t resist
      You love him

      Lyrics

      Mother I’m tired

      Come surrender my son

      Time has ravaged on my soul

      No plans to leave but still I go

      Fallin’ with the leaves

      Fallin’ out of sleep

      To the last goodbyes

      Who cares why?

      Mother I’ve tried

      Wasting my life

      I haven’t given up, I lie

      To make you so proud in my eyes

      Fallin’ out of sleep

      Crawlin’ over me

      To the last goodbyes

      Who cares why?

      Tuesdays come and gone

      Restless still I drive

      Try to leave it all behind

      Fallin’, fallin’ out of sleep

      Fallin’, fallin’ with the leaves

      I got crawlin’, crawlin’ over me

      Once upon a time in my life…

      I went falling

      Mother I hope you know

      That I miss you so

      Time has ravaged on my soul

      To wipe a mother’s tears grown cold

      Lyrics

      The lights came on fast

      Lost in motorcrash

      Gone in a flash unreal

      But you knew all along

      You laugh the light I sing the songs

      To watch you numb

      I saw you there

      You were on your way

      You held the rain

      And for the first time heaven seemed insane

      Cause heaven is to blame

      For taking you away

      Do you know the way that I can?

      Do you know the way that I can’t lose?

      Do you know the things that I can?

      Do you know the things that I can’t do?

      Where is your heart?

      Where is your heart gone to?

      Tear me apart

      Tear me apart from you

      You laugh the light I cry the wound

      In grey afternoons

      I saw you there

      You were on your way

      You kissed me cold

      And for the first time heaven seemed insane

      For taking you away

      Cause heaven is to blame

      For taking you away

      The lights came to pass

      Dead opera motorcrash

      Gone in a flash unreal

      In nitrous overcast

      Do you know the way that I can?

      Do you know the way that I can’t choose?

      Do you know the things that I can?

      Do you know the things that I can’t lose?

      Tear me apart

      Tear me apart from you

      Where is your heart?

      Where has your heart run to?

      Lyrics

      Who am I
      To need you when I’m down
      And where are you
      When I need you around
      Your life is not your own
      And all I ask you is for another chance
      Another way around you
      To live by circumstance
      Once again
      Who am I to need you now
      To ask you why, to tell you no
      To deserve your love and sympathy
      You were never meant to belong to me
      And you may go
      But I know you won’t leave
      Too many years
      Built into memories
      Your life is not your own
      Who am I to need you now
      To ask you why, to tell you no
      To deserve your love and sympathy
      You were never meant to belong to me
      Who am I to you?
      Along the way I lost my faith
      And as you were you’ll be again
      To mold like clay, to break like dirt
      To tear me up in your sympathy
      You were never meant to belong to me
      You were never meant to belong to me
      You were never meant to belong to me
      Who am I?

      Lyrics

      What if the sun refused to shine?
      What if the clouds refused to rain?
      What if the wind refused to blow?
      What if the seas refused to wave?
      What if the world refused its turn?
      What if the stars would hesitate?
      What if what is isn’t true?
      What are you going to do?
      What if what is isn’t you?
      Does that mean you’ve got to lose?
      Digging for the feel of something new
      What if the silence let you dream?
      What if the air could let you breathe?
      What if the words would bring you here?
      What if this sound could bring you peace?
      What if what is isn’t true?
      What are you gonna do?
      Digging for the feel of something new
      What if what is isn’t you?
      What are you gonna do?
      It came from your thoughts
      Your dreams and visions
      Ripped up from your weeks
      And indecisions
      What if the sun refused to shine?
      What if the clouds refused to rain?
      What if the world refused its turn?
      What if the clocks would hesitate?
      What if what is isn’t true?
      What are you gonna do?
      What if what is isn’t you?
      Does that mean you’ve got to lose?
      Digging for the feel of something new
      Does that mean you’ve got to choose?
      The feel of something new
      Does that mean you’ve got to lose?
      The thoughts you cannot use
      What are you gonna do?

      Lyrics

      Kiss and kill me sweetly

      Come and drive me home

      Drag the miles in me

      I am yours alone

      Inside where it’s warm

      Wrap myself in you

      Outside where I’m torn

      Fight myself in two

      In two

      Into you

      Desire me so deeply

      Drain and kick me hard

      Whisper secrets for me

      Try to go too far

      Inside where it’s warm

      Wrap myself in you

      Outside where I’m torn

      Fight myself in two

      In two

      Into…

      Please don’t change

      Please don’t change at all

      Bring your rain

      Bring your rain to fall

      Inside where it’s warm

      Wrap myself in you

      Outside where I’m torn

      Fight myself in two

      In two

      Into you

      Come and kiss me sweetly

      Ride the telephone

      Drag the miles to me

      I am yours alone

      Yours alone

      Yours alone on the telephone

      Yours alone looking for a kiss kiss

      Yours alone

      Lyrics

      Dusty screams

      Through doors and imaginary floors

      “Why can’t you miss me?”

      Pistol pete

      Removes the final breaths from her unkind

      And she is shaken

      What does this mean

      In love or in peace?

      With you lying next to me

      So faithless serene

      And she calls to him

      Let the waste

      Cross the ancient trails to you

      Far out

      Beneath the sorrow clouds

      Let them taste

      The bitter lost mistake of you

      Let them cry out

      Through your rusted scars

      Alone he roams

      Inside the ordinary catacombs

      Of her waiting

      With raven hands

      She steals and staggers towards her man

      Still scorned by his demon

      Because he’s undone

      Become the language of

      Disaster and love

      Vengeance and dust

      And she calls to him

      Let the waste

      Cross the ancient trails to you

      Far out

      Beneath the sorrow clouds

      Let them taste

      The bitter lost mistake of you

      Let them cry out

      Through your rusted scars

      Dusty screams

      Through doors and imaginary scenes

      Of hurt and teardrop

      As he holds her down

      In the cold lonely winds

      Together again

      Her inside him

      And she calls to him

      Let the waste

      Cross the ancient trails to you

      Far out

      Beneath the sorrow clouds

      Let them taste

      The bitter lost mistake of you

      Let them cry out

      Through your rusted scars

      Lyrics

      Amphetamine Annie-Dog
      Has her leash and a face
      Her velvet spleen, her shackle spine
      Her diamond curse, it comes with mine
      A vessel she for violent I
      Confession arms awake
      Mine mine, your were always mine
      Possessed by my taste
      And below the angel dog
      Combs her hair and sings her psalms
      The bombs go off, she doesn’t notice
      It all goes wrong, she sets things tragic
      She is Venus, she is Mars
      She’s electric, and the struggle of
      Upon her face we leave no trace
      But in her stomach mercury aged
      She holds the blood, she carves the knives
      She digs the wires in our babies
      Amphetamine Annie-Dog
      Pulls her trash and her stories
      From place to place and bed to bed
      Gives of herself and the magnet head
      Another floor, another ceiling
      Counting stars with double meanings
      Is it wrong to be swallowed whole
      To disappear in her
      To give to her the priceless peace
      Of giving up control
      We tumble out into the streets
      And Annie-dog, she drags her leash
      Pretty face, ugly mouth
      Bitter bred and so released
      And by the no and in the yes
      Annie goes if you couldn’t guess
      A simple man, a sycophant
      Her elephant with the laughing cough
      She wants clean sheets and fresh flowers
      Her dental shots and the Hong Kong glue
      Amphetamine Annie-Dog
      Has her leash and a face

      I’ve faced the fathoms in your deep
      Withstood the suitors quiet siege
      Pulled down the heavens just to please you
      Appease you
      The wind blows, and I know
      I can’t go on digging roses from your grave
      To linger on beyond the beyond
      Where the willows weep and the whirlpools sleep
      You’ll find me
      The coarse tide reflects the sky
      And the night mare rides on
      And the night mare rides on
      With a December black psalm
      And the night mare rides on
      What I fear is lost here
      The wind blows and I know
      All you have to do is run away
      And steal yourself from me
      Become mystery to gaze into
      You’re so cruel in all you do
      But still I believe, I believe
      You
      So may you come with your own knives
      You’ll never take me alive
      With all the force of what is true
      Is there nothing I can do?
      I can’t go on digging roses from your grave
      To linger on beyond the beyond
      Where the willows weep and the whirlpools sleep
      You’ll find me
      And the night mare rides on
      And the night mare rides on
      With a December black psalm
      And the night mare rides on
      I’ve face the fathoms in your deep
      Withstood the suitors quiet siege
      Pulled down the heavens just to please you
      To hold the flower I can’t keep

      Wherever I run to you lost
      It’s never done
      Just hanging on
      The past has let me be
      Returning as if dream
      Shattered as belief
      If you have to go, don’t say goodbye
      If you have to go, don’t you cry
      If you have to go, I will get by
      Someday I’ll follow you and see you on the other side
      But for the grace of love
      I’d will the meaning of
      Heaven from above
      But for the grace of love
      I’d will the meaning of
      Heaven from above
      Your picture out of time
      Left aching in my mind
      Shadows kept alive
      If you have to go, don’t say goodbye
      If you have to go, don’t you cry
      If you have to go, I will get by
      I will follow you and see you on the other side
      But for the grace of love
      Who’d will the meaning of
      Heaven from above

      Creatures more than torn
      Mourning our way home

      Blank page was all the rage
      Never meant to say anything
      In bed I was half dead
      Tired of dreaming of rest
      Got dressed, drove the state line
      Looking for you at the five and dime
      Stop sign told me stay at home
      Told me you were not alone
      Blank page was all the rage
      Never meant to hurt anyone
      In bed I was half dead
      Tired of dreaming of rest
      You haven’t changed, you’re still the same
      May you rise as you fall
      You were easy, you are forgotten
      You are the ways of my mistakes
      I catch the rainfall through the leaking roof
      That you had left behind
      You remind me of that leak in my soul
      The rain falls, my friends call
      Leaking rain on the phone
      Take a day, plant some trees
      May they shade you from me
      May your children play beneath
      Blank page was all the rage
      Never meant to say anything
      In bed I was half dead
      Tired of dreaming of rest
      Got dressed, drove the state line
      Looking for you at the five and dime
      But there I was picking pieces up
      You are a ghost of my indecision
      No more, little girl
