Lyrics
I spin off and lose my head
Throwing stray a spark instead
Gather strength down in my heel
And dig it in the world I peel
Way down deep within my heart
Lies a soul that’s torn apart
Tell me, tell me what your after
I just want to get there faster
I don’t live – I inhale
I don’t give – I unveil
Don’t want to live in your misery
I don’t live – I inhale
Sprinkle all my kisses on your head
Stars full of wishes fill our beds
She said, “I’m dead”
All this pain smothers me
Like a bomb that you can’t see
Tell me, tell me what your after
I just want to get there faster
I don’t live – I inhale
I don’t give – I unveil
I don’t live – I inhale
I don’t live

No matter where you are
I can still hear you when you drown
You've traveled very far
Just to see you I'll come around
When I'm down
All of those yesterdays
Coming around
No matter where you are
I can still hear you when you dream (on some versions, "scream")
You traveled very far
You traveled far, like a star
And you are
All of those yesterdays
Coming around
Is it something someone said?
Was it something someone said?
Yesterday the sky was you
And I still feel the same
Nothing left for me to do
And I still feel the same
I wish, I wish I could fly
I wish, I wish I could lie
I will, I will try
I will, I will
Goodbye
- 4 . Cherub Rock
Lyrics
Freak out
And give in
Doesn’t matter what you believe in
Stay cool
And be somebody’s fool this year
‘Cause they know
Who is righteous, What is bold
So I’m told
Who wants honey
As long as there’s some money
Who wants that honey?
Hipsters unite
Come align for the big fight to rock for you
But beware
All those angels with their wings glued on
‘Cause deep down
We are frightened and we’re scared
If you don’t stare
Who wants honey
As long as there’s some money
Who wants that honey?
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Tell me all of your secrets
Cannot help but believe this is true
Tell me all of your secrets
I know, I know, I know,
Should have listened when I was told
Who wants honey
As long as there is some money
Who wants that honey?
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out - 5 . Today
Lyrics
Today is the greatest
Day I’ve ever known
Can’t live for tomorrow,
Tomorrow’s much too long
I’ll burn my eyes out
Before I get out
I wanted more
Than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore
Of saving face
Today is the greatest
Day I’ve ever known
Can’t wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I’ll tear my heart out
Before I get out
Pink ribbon scars
That never forget
I tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings
Today is
Today is
Today is
The greatest day
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you
Today is the greatest
Today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day
That I have ever really known - 6 . Disarm
Lyrics
Disarm you with a smile
And cut you like you want me to
Cut that little child
Inside of me and such a part of you
Ooh, the years burn
I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my choice
What’s a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you
Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who’s left alone
Ooh, the years burn
Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn
I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my voice
What’s a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you - 7 . Bullet With Butterfly Wings

The world is a vampire, sent to drain
Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
And what do I get, for my pain
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
Even though I know-i suppose I’ll show
All my cool and cold-like old job
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Now I’m naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it, for just one more show
And what do you want, I want to change
And what have you got
When you feel the same
Even though I know-i suppose I’ll show
All my cool and cold-like old job
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Tell me I’m the only one
Tell me there’s no other one
Jesus was an only son
Tell me I’m the chosen one
Jesus was an only son for you
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
And I still believe that I cannot be saved - 8 . 1979
Lyrics
Shakedown 1979
Cool kids never have the time
On a live wire
Right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we’d never see an end to it all
And I don’t even care
To shake these zipper blues
And we don’t know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed
Into the earth below
Double cross the vacant and the bored
They’re not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slippin’ dues
Down to see
That we don’t even care
As restless as we are
We feel the pull
In the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement
Lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we’d go
Beneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made
I know you better than you fake it
To see that we don’t even care
To shake these zipper blues
And we don’t know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed
Into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of now (written: sound)
As you can see there’s no one around - 9 . Zero
Lyrics
My reflection, dirty mirror
There’s no connection to myself
I’m your lover, I’m your zero
I’m the face in your dreams of glass
So save your prayers
For when we’re really gonna need ’em
Throw out your cares and fly
Wanna go for a ride?
She’s the one for me
She’s all I really need
Cause she’s the one for me
Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness
And cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me
Intoxicated with the madness, I’m in love with my sadness
Bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms
The fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth
I never let on, that I was on a sinking ship
I never let on that I was down
You blame yourself, for what you can’t ignore
You blame yourself for wanting more
She’s the one for me
She’s all I really need
She’s the one for me
She’s my one and only
- 10 . Tonight, Tonight
Lyrics
Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel
Believe, believe in me, believe
That life can change, that you’re not stuck in vain
We’re not the same, we’re different tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
And you know you’re never sure
But you’re sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
The place where you were born
Believe, believe in me, believe
In the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there’s not a tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
We’ll crucify the insincere tonight
We’ll make things right, we’ll feel it all tonight
We’ll find a way to offer up the night tonight
The indescribable moments of your life tonight
The impossible is possible tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight
- 11 . Eye
Lyrics
I lie, I wait
I stop, I hesitate
I am, I breathe
I meant, I think of me
Is it any wonder I can’t sleep?
All I have is all you gave to me
Is it any wonder I found peace through you?
Turn to the gates of heaven, to myself be damned
Turn away from light
It’s not enough, just a touch
It’s not enough
I taste, I love
I come, I bleed enough
I hate, I’m not
I was, I want too much
Is it any wonder I can’t sleep?
All I have is all you gave to me
Is it any wonder I found peace through you?
Turn to the gates of heaven, to myself be damned
Turn away from light
It’s not enough, just a touch
It’s not enough, just a touch
It’s not enough, just a touch
It’s not enough, just a touch
It’s not enough, just a touch
It’s not enough, just a touch - 12 . Ava Adore
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 - 13 . Perfect
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
- 14 . The Everlasting Gaze
Lyrics
You know I’m not dead
You know I’m, you know I’m not dead
You know I’m not dead
Now you know where I’ve been
As you sleep, torn I am
Weighted down patiently
Born of love
You know I’m, you know I’m not dead
I’m just living in my head
Forever waiting on the ways of your desire
You always find a way
And through it all, into us all you move
Forgotten touch
Forbidden thought
We can never have enough
You know I’m not dead
You know I’m, you know I’m not dead
You know I’m not dead
Found below, the creatures scream
Stranglehold, a god machine
Begin to tear us out
What is hell
You know I’m, you know I’m not dead
I’m just the tears inside your head
Forever waiting on the ways of your desire
You always find a way
And through it all, into us all you move
Forgotten touch
Forbidden thought
We can never have enough
You know I’m not dead
We all want to hold in the everlasting gaze
Enchanted in the rapture of his sentimental sway
But underneath the wheels lie the skulls of every cog
The fickle fascination of an everlasting god
You know I’m not dead
I’m just living in my head
Forever waiting
Forever waiting a cruel death
You know I’m not dead
I’m just living for myself
Forever waiting
You know I’m not dead
You know I’m not dead
You know I’m not dead
You know I’m not dead
- 15 . Stand Inside Your Love
Lyrics
You and me
Meant to be
Immutable
Impossible
It’s destiny
Pure lunacy
Incalculable
Inseparable
And for the last time
You’re everything that I want and asked for
You’re all that I dream
Who wouldn’t be the one you love
Who wouldn’t stand inside your love
Protected and the lover of
A pure soul
And beautiful
You
Don’t understand
Don’t feel me now
I will breath
For the both of us
Travel the world
Traverse the skies
Your home is here
Within my heart
And for the first time
I feel as though I am reborn in my mind
Recast as child and mystic sage
Who wouldn’t be the one you love
Who wouldn’t stand inside your love
For the first time
I’m telling how much I need and bleed for
Your every move and waking sound in my time
I’ll wrap my wrap my wire around your heart
And your mind
You’re mine forever now
Who wouldn’t be the one you love and live for
Who wouldn’t stand inside your love and die for
Who wouldn’t be the one you love

Lyrics
Pop tart
What’s our mission
Do we know
But never listen
For too long
They held me under
But I hear
It’s almost over
In detroit
On a memphis train
Like you said
It’s down in the heat and the summer rain of
The automatic gauze of your memories
Down in the sleep at the airplane races
Try to hold on
To this heart
A little bit longer
Try to hold on
To this love
Aloud
Try to hold on
For this heart’s
A little bit colder
Try to hold on
To this love
Paperback scrawl your hidden poem
Written around the dried out flowers
Here we are still trading places
To try to hold on
Pop tart
Can you envision
A free world
Of clear division
For too long
They held us under
But I know
We’re getting over
In detroit
With the nashville tears
Like you said
It’s down in the heat with the broken numbers
Down in the gaze of solemnity
Down in the way you held together
To try to hold on
To this heart
A little bit closer
Try to hold on
To this love
Aloud
Try to hold on
For this heart’s
A little bit older
Try to hold on
To this love
Aloud
And we are still alive
Try to hold on
And we have survived
Try to hold on
And no one should deny
We try to hold on
To the pulse of a feedback current
Into the flow of the cryptic movement
Slapback kills the ancient remnants
That try to hold on
Try to hold on
To this heart
Alive
Try to hold on
To this love
Aloud
Try to hold on
And we are still alive
Try to hold on
And we have survived
Try to hold on
Pop tart
You never listen
Skinned knees
Try to hold on
Stop start
What’s our mission
Skinned knees
Try to hold on
- 17 . Real Love
Lyrics
Fall into the century on a supersonic cross
Blessed she in aching silence, eternal loss
Calling out I won’t surrender a locket of her hair
Sympathize her pious pleasures, go down the stairs
Into the dark again
To feel alive again, and wait for
Real love
Or is it me you’re after
Is it time
‘Cause it’s now or never
Real love
Real love forever
Real love
Born of the ball and chain
Into a world sustained with sorrow
Real love
A real touch we speak in
Is it ours
Or is it what we’re seekin’
Real love
In the eyes, behold and you’ll find the 21st century
You detonate her will and her widowed speech
Buried in the backyard shadow, the rusty coffee tin
That held her mother’s first kiss in a nameless dream
Fall down the stairs again
To feel alive against tomorrow
Real love
Or is it me you’re after
Is it time
‘Cause it’s now or never
Real love
Real love forever
Is it love
Or just yours to treasure
Real love
Real love
Real love
We never listen
Real love will listen
And tell her of a fortune
Real love is riches
Scratch through the changes
Real love is nameless
So tired and hopeless
Real love is painless
Nobody mentions
We ever move to collect
The solar questions
Demon scorn should not relax
The laws of gravity
Real love

Lyrics
Should I know all we’re missing
What’s to stop what they’re missing
To feel love, to be in love
All around
Anyone can hold a promise
Not everyone can feel honored
To be in love, to feel love
All around
Turn me on, hear me speak
Let me be what I need
You’re enough for me
Many times while you sleep
I’m dreaming of what to keep
To know your wish, hold it true
To slay the things that trouble you
Turn me on, out of reach
Listen here, feel me
Just believe, just believe
You’ll see
To feel love, to be in love
All around
Hold the truth if you want it
If you don’t, I won’t flaunt it
To feel love, to be in love
All around
When you’re young you can promise
Anything that you wanted
To be in love, to feel love all around
Turn me on, let me speak
From my heart, I receive
Plain happiness, just happiness
You and me
To feel love, to be in love
All around
To be in love, to feel love
All around
To feel love, to be in love
All around
To be in love, to feel love
Around
I know your wish, I hold it true
(Feel love around)
To hide the things that trouble you
(Feel love around)
Turn me on out of reach
(Feel love around)
Let me speak all my peace
(Feel love around)
Just believe what you keep
(Feel love around)
You’ll never need to hurry me
(Feel love around)
To be in love, to feel love
All around
To feel love, to be in love
All around
To be in love, to feel love
All around
To feel love, to be in love
All around
To be in love, to feel love
All around

Lyrics
It’s in blood
I suppose
Breaking jars
I’m no good
As the prodigal son
And I know that you’re mesmerized
You had a vision, made these laws
And sanitized, are we above desires
I miss him so
You are so fucked
It has begun
Revolution crawls
All over you
I was listening
You light up the sky
And scrape out your skull
Your lovely face
Will never be claimed thrice
And we’re so unlikely to
Upon my wrists I bear the cross
My losses mount as I climb across the home
Of my own soul
I’ll claim my prize
I don’t exist
I am divine
A ghost with eyes

(James: you headin’ to vietnam?)
(Unknown: yes, I need to be at the co-op.)

Love is a sentimental heart
Life is a sentimental way
Spy the fragile heart so cursed
As he walks across this earth
I'm disconnected by your smile
Disconnect a million miles
And what you promised me
I hope will set you free
I'm disconnected by your smile
And all I gave to you is lost
And all you took from me is lost
Black wings carry me so high
Up to meet you in the sky
I'm disconnected by your smile
Disconnect a million miles
And what you promised me
I hope will set you free
I'm disconnected by your smile

Wishing I could make believe
I'll take my secrets to the grave
Safely held beneath the waves
Always knew I couldn't save
Always knew I couldn't save you

Because you are

Because you are

I will deny all that I am afraid
Lies will disguise

Midnight people
Rushing for a downtown train
Watching and wasting away
Their hearts beat free
Cool frequency
And I don’t know what it is
I’m gonna run the slow dawn
Seeking sigh, oh so faint
I’m gonna run the slow dawn awake
It’s blessed undone
The songbirds all around
And I’m not sure what it is
But I’m sure that I could give it
Awake the slow dawn
Slow dawn moves by my side
Teach your silent sleep
Slow dawn

Washing down here, wasting way
They’re gonna run the slow dawn awake
The slow dawn awake

Lyrics
Close your eyes
Until the sunlight dies
In your head a thousand stars
Through the darkness you can see a light
And if they steal your life
Your heart is still mine
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing, a truth, there’s no other
I want to believe in you, dear
On Sunday…
There’s a life I hide
Well I tried to disguise
And I can take you a million miles away
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing, a truth, there’s no other
I want to believe in you, dear
On Sunday I made amends
For all my mistakes
May God speed be with you
Oooh…oooh…oooh…oooh
And I…
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing a truth, there’s no other
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing a truth, there’s no other
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, (soft) you sing, a truth, a lover
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing a truth, there’s no other
I want to believe in you, dear

I want to make amends
For all my mistakes
May God speed be with you - 24 . My Mistake
Lyrics
We’re so young
And we’re so dumb
With our registered calculations
And if you dare
And should I care
I could destroy you
And take you there
As the spitfires begin their descent
And tragic romantic ascent
My love is one hundred percent
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake
Mistake, it was all my mistake
So suck me through
Your saliva screws
I can’t help myself if I don’t know
The flaws in you
That were equal to
The mysteries I’ve almost knew
And I’ve said this so many, many times
Can’t help you out of your mind
So please don’t judge me unkind
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake
And if you pretend
Please try to offend everyone
We share the sea monkey disease
So give me my greatful little piece
And do what you want as you please
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake

Lyrics
[“Rolling…” “I was just on another planet for a sec…”
“Run it back, Mole… (amp on) …fucker…”]
And I’d love you to notice
I’m devoted
To destroy for no one
Now it’s that time again to take revenge
On all the debutantes and their friends
The bitter charlemagnes so self-absorbed
The bodily remains such a bore
Hey, yeah
Was I good enough to break you
Hey, yeah
And all I see is empty
‘Cause now I’m one of them
So adored
The slink of impotence
That money can afford
We know who you are and where you live
Is your innocence all that you can give
Hey, yeah
Was I good enough to break you
Hey, yeah
In the back of the car
The angel dust was given back to the stars
Hey, yeah
Was I good enough to break you
Hey, yeah
And in this fall from grace
We’ll meet again
Another time another place
I’ve been down deep in you and me
Let’s see where we can go
Yeah yeah yeah
Angels, barbed wire
Fuck you, desire
- 26 . Here’s To The Atom Bomb
Lyrics
Away to the side you move your head
Gravity fingers dig in your back
The strangest man won’t let you breathe
Rocking on you in a movie scene
His words fill your mouth
His guests bleed sick
Devoid of touch
He lets out to the streets where you were raised
Sittin’ home waiting for the coming age
You had to wait your turn
You had to wait your turn
Wake up early, wash up late
Satellites connect you to your hate
Your patience grows but your skin is thin
The pager signals they’re coming in
Through the hole in the wall
You left the hole in the wall
Here’s to the atom bomb
May everyone find a way to get on
A little piece of heaven is all you seek
In the same old re-run week after week
Their faces make you want to kill
The little piece of heaven singin’ on the windowsill
No lights can turn you on
Pixelate the night
Reading the words
Of your eyes on the streets where you were born
Sittin’ home waiting for the coming dawn
Near the hole in the wall
You left a hole in the wall - 27 . Sparrow
Lyrics
Narrow marrow
Silent sparrow
Secret serpentine smile
Distant crying child
You’re my lost little love
You’re my lost little one
Urgent arrow
Arcane echo
My, my, my have we thrown
Together apart
And together again
We will scatter friends
Like the whistling wind
You can see me wave
Same, I’m the same
But if I did
And I meet you there
You’ll hold my hand
Pretend you understand
That I’m just one man
Still a boy perhaps
Simple silent humble human being
We will scatter friends
Like the whistling wind
You can see me wave
Same, I’m the same
And eiffel towers
And distant isles
And ocean miles
And mountain wilds
And film stars
And restless charge
Moving roaring
Soaring gone, gone, gone
And with built-in lion ears
I can hear you now
- 28 . Waiting
Lyrics
Please drive slow
I’ve never been this way before
Violence reels in the underground
Yes, I am waiting
In silence throe
To fill the meetings
To strike me down
No more a reason
Than god above
Let your curses run
Yes, I am waiting
For your love
For your love
Radio waves of a dying sun
Radio speaks my soul alone
Forget my names, erase the page
Antennas draw the passengers
Yes, I am waiting
In silence throe
My blood of treason
My tears of hope
No more a feeling
Than being cold
Of playing on
Yes, I am waiting
As I walk your streets
Yes, I am waiting
As I ride your dreams
Yes, I am waiting
Inside your doubts
Inside your doubts
Just let me out
Just let me out

The clever make the world weary
To pull it from its moorings
To fawn the young wicked roost
To weather the coming storms
They are inside now
They are inside
They are inside now

How I love to waste your time

Goodbye all you widows
Tearstained underneath
Blessed to the many
Who are seeking some relief
They are inside
They are inside now
They are inside
They are inside
You’ll always run
But you cannot find

The wreckage is outside
Quick may you hurry
We are losing our light
We are inside now

But you’ll never find

To the ages I am speaking
To the creatures I am sky
Bloody simple features
Everyone chooses sides
Shatter this faith broken
Walk these summer miles
Leave here while forgotten
Carrying forth this child
Saturnine - 30 . Rock On
Lyrics
Hey kids, rock and roll
Rock on, ooh my soul
Hey kids, it’s no use sleepin’
Lost out, summertime blues
Jump up and die in your blue suede shoes
Hey kids, rock and roll
We’re gonna rock on
Where do we go from here
Which is the way that’s clear
Still looking for that blue jean baby queen
Prettiest girl I’ve ever seen
See her die on my movie screens every day
Rock on
Hey kids, rock and roll
Rock on, ooh my soul
Hey kids it’s no use dreamin’
Lost out and full of doubt
Shut up, cracked out
Hey kids, rock and roll
We’re gonna rock on
Where do we go from here
Which is the way that’s clear
Where do we go from here
Which is the way that’s clear
Still lookin’ for that blue jean baby queen
Prettiest girl I’ve never seen
See her die on my movie screens every day
Rock on
Rock on
Rock on
Rock on
And the cradle will rock
Yes, the cradle, the cradle will rock
I said rock on
Rock on
Everybody wants some
I want some too
Everybody wants some
Hey how about you
I said rock on
Rock on
Rock on
Rock on
Rock on
Rock on
Hey kids, rock and roll
We’re gonna rock on, rock on
To your song
Hey kids, rock and roll
We’re gonna rock on
Rock on
We’re gonna rock on, rock on, rock on
- 31 . Set The Ray To Jerry
Lyrics
Born to please, every simple need
I stand alone in my thoughts indeed
Hate you
For ever making me
I’m in you, I’m your anything
And I- want you
And I- need you
And all you are is brand new
And I- need you
Come to me, let me hold you still
I’m so tired, just as tired as you
Take me for anyone but me
All that you feel is never true
And I- want you
And I- need you
And all you are is brand new
And I- need you
When you say that you are
Forever my star
Could never let you go, no, no
And never let you know
Let roar these fears
To the whore of my tears
Pure as a lie, I pour to your eyes
Suck you like the sap from a tree
Honey from the dew, from the bumblebees, yeah yeah
And I- want you
And I- need you
And all you are is brand new
And I- need you
When you say that you are
Forever my star
Could never let you go, no, no
Never let you know
And I- want you
And I- need you
And all you are is brand new
And I- need you
- 32 . Winterlong
Lyrics
And if I fall into you all
Will my rain cease and dissolve
Some come to harm, others to grace
So let my friends fly under these wings
We’re giving it up to the sun
We’re giving it up to the moon
We’re giving it up to the earth
Giving it up from our room
Know when there’s nowhere to run
Know when there’s not much to lose
Sometimes it seems so long
Since you had a chance to refuse
We built a fire
Winterlong
Transform to iron
Winterlong
I was the first one
I was the last one to be strong
And if I fall into you all
Will the silence shatter and stall
Some feel movement, others stand still
So let the moment become my will
We’re giving it up to the sun
We’re giving it up to the moon
We’re giving it up to the earth
Giving it up from our rooms
Know when there’s nowhere to run
Know when there’s not much to lose
So why does it take so long
To find out who is who
We built a fire
Winterlong
Transform to iron
Winterlong
I was the first one
I was the last one to be strong
We’re giving it up to the sun
Giving it up to the moon
We’re giving it up the the earth
Giving it up from your room
We’re giving it up to the sun
Giving it up to the moon
- 33 . Soot And Stars
Lyrics
The words flow
Decisions made
Idea’s mine
But the inspiration not
Dreams of hangers-on
Dreams of getting well
Spells of esmeralda
Amarose fortold
Splinters in the eye
Sentiments remain
Bones are never asked
Where are we going to
It was never up to me
And yet I pushed until it broke
I love the open road
And all that it suggests
Wheelwagon dust
Weeds and infidelities
And always swore our love
Never questioned why
In a wooden house
Immovable and silent
And drinking strawberry wine
Forever lost in town
And through the sleeping streets
Nightbound and heavy
Wheels in a spoke
Just a spoken foreign sound
Know my gates are high
My friends even higher
Forgotten in my mind
Yet the scars still lingering
Cloud the blue skies
I’m jealous of you birds
Was the only truth
In a world full of words
Hear the prairie sound
In a friend called neil
The heart is pointed down
But my spirit pointed up
His voice the siren
Of greek mythology
I pause with my pen
I begin to defend
Every action taken
Every moment sealed
When I was quick
It coursed through open veins
The will to live
The urgency to move
Behind a panel door
Sealing cherry stain
I played my guitar
And lived those lonesome notes
Like a dog that’s down
In a corner just aside
Waiting to be called
Waiting to be yours
Ghosts of a machine
Without purpose or will
I’ll often speak of you
But the you was always me
‘Cause when I speak of me
It’s me I ask of you
So let there be no truth
Just trickery in rhymes
Time the only thing
Waiting still is death
I hope for resolution
Pray one defining moment
Pause without restraint
Barren without child
A child is who I was
A child is who I’ll die
A child is who I’ll die
Soot in my hair
And stars in my hands
Soot in my hair
And stars in my hands
Soot in my hair
And stars in my hands
- 34 . Blissed And Gone
Lyrics
The sun has blessed
The rays are gone
And all the kids have left their tears and gone home
Sweet 17, sour 29
And I can’t explain myself
What I’d hoped to find
You were all so kind
When I was near
And if you’re still feeling down
Then maybe you need me around
To love and hold you
Don’t say I hadn’t told you so
Maybe you need me around
I had no luck
I had no shame
I had no cause, just 17 days of rain
And you in my eyes
Just one more song to slay this earth
And I can’t explain myself just what it’s worth
It was all I had, but not all I’d need
And I can’t escape the fact that I still bleed
And if you’re still feeling down
And if this seems way too loud
Then maybe you need me around
I had no voice
I had no drive
I had no choice
I’ve done my time
I had myself
Had my band
I had my love
Had no hand in watching it all fall apart
And if you’re still feeling down
Then maybe you need me around
To lift and scold you
To send you crashing all right now
Maybe you need me around
