      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

      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

      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

      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

      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

      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

      You’re gonna walk on home

      You’re gonna walk alone

      You’re gonna see this through

      Don’t let them get to you

      Shame

      Love is good and love is kind

      Love is drunk and love is blind

      Love is good and love is mine

      Love is drunk all the time

      Shame

      You’re gonna walk on home

      You’re gonna walk alone

      You’re gonna walk so far

      You’re gonna wonder who you are

      Shame

      Love is good and love is kind

      Love is drunk and love is blind

      Love is good and love is mine

      Love is good all the time

      Hello goodbye

      You know you made us cry

      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

      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

      Lyrics

      Boredom’s in the bathroom shaking out the loose teeth
      Sally’s in the stirrups claiming her destiny
      And nobody nowhere understands anything
      About me and all my dreams
      Lost at sea
      Jack it up Judy set your heart alight
      Mayfair mistress of the satellites
      Misspent youth- faking up a rampage
      To hold off the real slaves
      Paid off and staid
      And what you never knew
      Can never get to you
      So fake it
      I’ll be your stumbleine
      I’ll be your super queen
      And make you
      Jukebox fuckup hanging round the drugstore
      No matter what you say he’ll be back for more
      Mommy’s in the manger with the little kids
      She’s got her reasons, got my forgets
      Of tears and idle threats
      Misplaced
      And no matter what they do
      They can’t get to you
      So fake it
      I’ll be your stumbleine
      I’ll be your super queen
      And make you me
      Come around ruby I could never sleep alone

      Lyrics

      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

      Lyrics

      Wrap me up in always, and drag me in with maybes

      Your innocence is treasure, your innocence is death

      Your innocence is all I have

      Breathing underwater, and living under glass

      And if you spin your love around

      The secrets of your dreams

      You may find your love is gone

      And is not quite what it seemed

      To appear to disappear

      Beneath all your darkest fears

      I believe in never, I believe in all the way

      But belief is not to notice, believe is just some faith

      And faith can’t help you to escape

      And with this ring I wed thee true

      And with this ring I wed thee now

      And with this ring I play so dead

      But no one’s asking for the truth, so let me tell you

      If you spin your love around

      The secrets of your dreams

      You may find your love is gone

      And is not quite what it seemed

      To appear to disappear

      Beneath all your darkest fears

      To the revelations of fresh faced youth

      No one will come to save you

      So speak your peace in the murmurs drawn

      But youth is wasted on the young

      Your strength is my weakness, your weakness my hate

      My love for you just can’t explain

      Why we’re forever frozen, forever beautiful,

      Forever lost inside ourselves

      The night has come to hold us young

      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

      Lyrics

      Whenever I run
      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
      Long horses we are born
      Creatures more than torn
      Mourning our way home

      Lyrics

      Standing
      On the edge of the quay
      No lights flashing
      On the water for me
      Fog in my mind
      Darkens in my eyes
      Silently screaming
      For a distant sound
      Ripple river yellow
      Rising for a breath
      Of breeding and drowns
      Stillness overcome me
      In the night
      Listen
      To the rising water moan
      I’m waiting
      Waiting, for the nightboat
      I’m waiting
      Waiting, for the nightboat
      Shadows all through me
      Shudder away
      Echo me, echo me
      Am I alone,
      Or is the river alive?
      ‘Cause it echoes me, echoes me
      Echoes me
      I’m waiting
      Waiting, for the nightboat
      I’m waiting
      Waiting, for the nightboat
      I’m waiting
      Waiting for the nightboat
      I’m waiting
      Waiting for the nightboat
      I’m waiting for the nightboat

      Lyrics

      Radio, live transmission
      Radio, live transmission
      Listen to the silence, let it ring on
      Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun
      We would have a fine time living in the night
      Left to blind destruction
      Waiting for our sight
      And we would go on as though nothing was wrong
      And hide from these days we remained all alone
      Staying in the same place, just staying out the time
      Touching from a distance
      Further all the time
      Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
      Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
      Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
      Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
      Well I could call out when the going gets tough
      The things that we’ve learnt are no longer enough
      No language, just sound, that’s all we need know, to synchronize
      Love to the beat of the show
      And we could dance
      Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
      Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
      Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
      Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio

      Lyrics

      Help, I need somebody
      Help, not just anybody
      Help, you know I need someone, help
      When I was younger, so much younger than today
      I never needed anybody’s help in any way
      But now these days are gone, I’m not so self assured
      Now I find I’ve changed my mind and opened up the doors
      Help me if you can, I’m feeling down
      And I do appreciate you being round
      Help me, get my feet back on the ground
      Won’t you please, please help me
      And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
      My independence seems to vanish in the haze
      But every now and then I feel so insecure
      I know that I just need you like I’ve never done before
      Help me if you can, I’m feeling down
      And I do appreciate you being round
      Help me, get my feet back on the ground
      Won’t you please, please help me
      When I was younger, so much younger than today
      I never needed anybody’s help in any way
      But now these days are gone, I’m not so self assured
      Now i find I’ve changed my mind and opened up the doors
      Help me if you can, I’m feeling down
      And I do appreciate you being round
      Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
      Won’t you please, please help me, help me, help me
