SLOW DAWN

Midnight people
Rushing for the downtown train
Watching, wasting away
Their hearts beat free
Cool frequency
And I don't what it is
I'm gonna run
The slow dawn
Seeking sigh
Oh so faint
I'm gonna run
The slow dawn
Await, it's blessed undone
Some birds on the run
And I'm not sure what it is
But I'm sure that I can give
Awaiting the slow dawn
Slow time moves, buying a servant
Teach your silent sleep
Slow dawn

Midnight people
Washing down here, wasting away
They're gonna run
The slow dawn
Await the slow dawn
Await the slow dawn
Await the slow dawn
Await

VANITY

You can hear the baby bones
Cracked beneath her wheels
Tears of Avalon
Streak silent down her shield
High crimes and misdemeanors
Unfortunate attacks
Will leave you standing nameless
While she's turning black

Vanity stands naked at my door
Vanity cries, why?

Eleanor, you've lost me in a haze
Of wine and cocaine
Gone out and cost me
Everything I blame
Broadcasting in TV detail
To call their own stories
As I try to recapture
The best and former glories

Vanity stands naked at my door
Vanity cries, why?
Vanity wants everything and more
Vanity must die

She swears she'll turn around
Turn around for good
She swears she'll turn around
Turn around for sure
You know you'll run around
Run around for her
You know you want it all so pure

Ease on that dirt road
You've still a ways to go
Soak in sights and city lights
While you still can borrow
Cursed fall we'll find you
And bring a memory
The ghost of her surrender
And a kiss of anarchy

She's naked at my door
Vanity cries, why?
Vanity wants everything and more
Vanity must die

SATURNINE

to the ages I have seen
creatures I have stopped
bloody simple features
everyone's choosing sides

we are inside
we are inside now
we are inside
we are inside
saturnine

how I'd love to waste your time
saturnine
saturnine

goodbye all you widows
tear-stained underneath
blessed onto the many
while seeking some relief

saturnine
how I'd love to waste your time
saturnine
saturnine
saturnine
you are waiting on the side

camera take this picture
wreckage is outside
we're hereby forgotten
we are losing our minds

we are inside
we are inside now
we are inside
we are inside
you've always cried
so that you'll never find

GLASS' THEME

Shattering fast
I'm glass, I'm glass
I'm shattering fast
I'm glass, I'm glass
I'm shattering, shattering
glass, glass, glass
I'm shattering fast
I'm glass, I'm glass

got a lot of tears
in a blood-stained jar
been a real long time
since I walked the fine line

you set up the walls
you set up the walls
I'll hold all of my calls
I'll be by the pool

won't you please
Talk to me
Won't you love
What I love

I'm alone
in my soul
I betray
rock and roll
rock and roll
rock and roll
rock and roll
rock and roll

shattering fast
I'm glass, I'm glass
I'm shattering, shattering
glass, glass, glass

you set up the walls
you set up the walls
I'll hold my calls
I'll be by the pool
playing with my guns
no matter where you run
cause I'm the one you love now
staying after school
breaking all your rules

shattering fast
shattering glass
I'm shattering glass
Shattering fast

LUCKY 13

The same 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 asleep
You light up this sky
And scrape out your skull
Your lovely face
Will never be claimed thrice
It was so unlikely doom
Upon my wrists I bear the cross
My losses mount as I climb across the hole
of my own soul

I'll claim my prize
I don't exist
I am divine
A ghost with eyes

SPEED KILLS

Speed kills
The beauty lives forever
Speed thrills
The beauty knows your name
I fell ill inside eternal winters
and stood still beside eternal flame

'Cause when I ride
With you tonight
We can move
At the speed of light
And all I'd ask and all I'd pray
The last rose of summer would stay
The last rose of summer would stay

The first time that I ever saw you
Crashing hard through days of pain
You were one of god's children
Left to cry out in the rain
Waiting to be saved again

'Cause when I ride
With you tonight
We can move
At the speed of light
And all I'd ask, and all I'd pray
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer is gone
Long gone
Gone
The last rose of summer is gone

When I ride
With you tonight
We can move at the speed of light
Forever young
Forever blind
Into the stars
We rock tonight

The last rose of summer
the last rose of summer
the last rose of summer is gone

IF THERE IS A GOD

If there is a god
I know he likes to rock
he likes his loud guitars
and his spiders from mars
if there is a god
I know she's watching me
she said she likes what she sees
but there's trouble on the breeze
who are you
this time
are you one of us
flying blind
cause I'm down here throwing stones
while you're so far from home
and if there is a god
you know they're on TV
they're the spies with bedroom eyes
that cower in our skies
who are you
this time
are you one of us
flying blind
cause we're done here throwing stones
while you're so far from home

TRY, TRY, TRY

Pop tart, what's the matter
Did you lose..what you're after?
For your tears I'm still singing
For your fears, I am ringing
From Houston on a downer buzz
Like you said, It's just because
You'll detonate your long lost kisses
Wished on the eve of forgotten blessings
So start your way for a new impression

That try to hold on
To this heart a little bit stronger
Try to hold on
Try with this love aloud
Try to hold on
For this heart has never been broken
Try to hold on
Try to hold on
Pop tart, did you flatter
When they spoke..of my disasters
At 13, I lost my compass
But I'm sure, it's all accomplished
As my desires on my ghost trains
Like you said when it rains
It's pours down the back of the bitter son
Desperate for love and loves everyone
In my mother's arms, no simple harm

Conspires to hold on
To this heart
A little bit closer
Try to hold on
To this love aloud
Try to hold on
And we know
If we go under
We just can't let go

No, no
Pop tart, will it matter?
If I lose and just shatter
Will you cry, and keep crying
Will I die, and keep dying
In Tokyo, the sad tragic blues
Like you said, it's how you use
'Cause someday we'll know if this even matters
Our rings and maze and simplicity
When can we laugh and take all the credit
And know we'll go free
With our hearts a little bit stronger
Try to hold on
For this love aloud
Try to hold
For this heart's a little bit frightened
Just try to hold on

Just try to hold on
Just try

HEAVY METAL MACHINE

If I were alive
If I were real
Would you survive
What would you feel now?
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
If I were dead
Would my records sell?
Could you ever tell
Or is it just as well
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Could you long to love
Could you want to see
Coming down for love
Coming down for me
Will you write my songs?
Will you shake the hands?
Could you understand
It's not yours to keep
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine (repeat)

DROSS

You say I'm beautiful
Well, I can't help it
You say I'm empty
We all know I'm full of shit
Get out, get out
You've lost control
Get out, get up
You're growing cold
Can anyone
Anyone be true
Does anyone
Anyone wanna be you
You say I'm tragic
I say it's the magic, kid
You say I'm lucky
We all know its in the cards
Get out, get out
Get out, get out
You've lost control
Can anyone
Anyone be true
Does anyone
Any wanna be you
Didn't wanna be you
Bring it, Jimmy
Floating
Knocked out, sky high, floating
Flat out, deadly truth
Does anyone wanna be you
Can anyone, anyone be true
Does anyone, anyone wanna be you
Do they wanna be you

REAL LOVE

Fall into the century of supersonic cross
blessed she in aching silence
eternal loss
calling out a warm surrender
a locket of her hair
I sympathize her pious pleasures
go down the stairs
into the dark again
to feel alive again
can't 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're speaking
is it lies
or is it what we're seeking
real love
in the eyes behold and you'll find the 21st century
detonate her will and her widowed speech
buried in the backyard shadow
the rusty coffee tin
that held her mother's first kiss of 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 mine
or just yours to treasure
real love
real love
real love
we never listen
real love will listen
and tell of our 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
demons' scorn surround relax
the laws of gravity
real love

GO

The slowest night
the slowest dance
you sway across the room as you dream
an empty house
with empty rooms
I loved you so
and now you're going
go, and leave if you must know
and go, I never wanted you to know
go
we ran away
or so we thought
now I know you were told to
go
to know love
to show love
and go
to give love
to feel loved
and go
I fell asleep
washed up on the shore
I kiss my soul and priest deformed
you move to speak
no words could reach me
at one, once knew
go, love, and learn by your desire
and know love
you're the only reason why
I'm terrified to go
to know love
to show love
go
to give love
to feel loved
go
to know love
to show love
I'm begging you to go

LET ME GIVE THE WORLD TO YOU

Last chance to make believe in always and all it seems
Train wrecks hide underneath your umbrella
Set the frame
Destiny on this last name siloque
Tired symphonies play down on

Let me give the world to you my love
Let me give the world to you my love
Let me show what I'm thinking of
Let me give the world to you my love

So far, so far, so far

Lovers form dead excuse
And blur the lines with soul abuse
While lonesome hearts just have no use around here

New skin may hold you in
But the old skin turns us on
Flicker fades the nitrate dawn to where

Let me give the world to you my love
Let me show you what I'm thinking of
Times are hard and we're the last in line
Cause in my grief I've forgotten what was mine

No, I wouldn't change a thing
No, I, no, I
I wouldn't change a thing
About the way you are
The distance here, speak so far, so far, so far, so far

Let me give the world to you my love
Let me give the world to you my love
Let me give the world to you
Let me give the world to you
Let me give the world to you
Let me give the world to you
Let me give the world to you my love
So far, so far, so far

INNOCENCE

Innocence, innocence finds you there
Innocence, innocence doesn't care
Any way you choose
The sun and the son
Are true
Hold me now I won't let go
Innocence, innocence lets you go
Innocence, innocence holds you down
Anyway, Anyway that you want
And you will be there
With the sun and you say you don't care
Anyway, Anyway that you want
In the love, in the love we're unsung
It's anyway, anyway that you want
Hold it in, innocence in your arms
Innocence, innocence holds you there
Innocence, innocence doesn't care
Innocence, innocence lets you dream
Innocence

HOME

We'll wander off through the dead of night
'cause wastelands of shattered souls
warm by the firelight
appear into the darkness alone
as the Indian summer of my remembrance
settles on my bones
cracked and weary

I ask for direction home
home
let the words spill from my mouth
love
love is everything I want
I'm one of many more to come
love
love is everything I want

Crossroads outside of town
the heartbroken faces charred
the city lights so far and dull
turning left and now it's time
with an urgen wind upon my rolling heels
to carry me along

My face so gashed I turn to ruins passed and home
home
let the words spill from my mouth
love
love is everything I want
I'm one of many more to come
love
love is everything I want

We'll wander through the dead of night
past terrors and broken homes
wipe the sleep from your eyes
of riverbanks and catacombs
sleep into the guillotine
always lived this life alone
lay down beneath the law
cry out, I know it's time
love is everything i want
love is everything i want
love is everything i want
love is everything i want

BLUE SKIES BRING TEARS

Love run the silent horses
Some cried the shell shocked houses
Ring dry the salty tears of saviours
And their lovers
People of the silent movies
Kiss of the twilight cry
Bleach blonde the high wire groupies
Sucking up the tide
Raindrops, the creaky messes
Wind blows the temples down
Blood fills the exit tunnels
Shreaking out of town
It's about time
It's about tryin'
Blue skies bring tears
Don't you know me?
Suffer there for you
Don't see it's gone
Blue Skies
I wish the armageddon
Draw down the hungry bread
Need it for the final verdict
Judges draw you now
Let fly your monologing
Let by the locust cry
Unhook the hidden forces
That fasten to our life
You want me
You want me to stay
It's about time
It's about here
Blue skies bring tears
Shake loose the huddled masses
Steal the urgent love
Crept to the faded hoses
Broken sea shell part
Fire all your dead, she's older
Shoot down the skeletal man
None of it leads to crisis
And then don't even go through hell
Blue skies bring tears (repeat)
top






WHITE SPIDER

Wander slow
And your kisses chase
What must I do
If only for your warm embrace
if only for your warm embrace
for all they take
must you complicate

And every little spider
That crawled up inside her
Is waiting for my phone call
And now I remind her
Of every single liar
Living for the killing stall

White spider
Where will you crawl
White spider

The endless paths
Began to scan
I don't understand you
I am, I am
Know who I am
I'm sorry you had to
White spider

You gotta get away
To try to stay awake
You've gotta fix your gaze
So you're not afraid
You've gotta bide your time
Before you want science
You've gotta play the part
Before you fall apart

You've gotta walk through hell
Scream you're not around
You've gotta strip your skin
You let them tear at it
I'm gonna take a piece
For my own release
I'm gonna shift to speak
Fuck the enemy
I'm gonna chomp my teeth
Climb on out of me
I'm going on around
Without a sully sound

Wander slow
White spider
How did you know, yes
If only which way to go
My white spider

'cause now I'm reminded
Of every single fighter
That's waiting for just what she brings
And every little spider
That crawled up inside her
Who's waiting for the phone to ring

My white spider
Which way'd you walk
My white spider
Isn't all

I made this up
To make the scene
Beyond belief
I'm back on top
Just a cock
Out of your cream
I am the end
I shall not remain
Prying plaintiff
The end we skim
I cannot pretend
Each who collapse, yeah

My white spider
How will you crawl
My white spider
Will it on
White spider

IN MY BODY

Hold silent
You were my violent star
In my life
Just for the moment
And then me under you
So you can die

I was alive
I was alive

In my body
You'll never find me
You'll never pull me in
In my body
The lonely creatures
The lonely creatures scream

Junes of cast
Left tight in their bone sleeves
Burned alive
Wasted sunsets
Hunting my tunnel light
Right through my clothes

In my body
You'll never find me
You'll never pull me out

I was alive
I was alive

In my body
You'll never find me
You'll never pull me out
In my body
The lonely creatures
The lonely creatures scream

In my body
In my body
In my body, yeah

In my body
In my body
In my body, yeah

In my body
In my body
In my body, yeah

HERE'S TO THE ATOM BOMB

clung to the sweater from the day you were born
never knew better, that's what you swore
mother hugged you cause the walls were thin
in saturnine sweetness and ratio
no boy could spell you out
in the grass at night
beneath the stars
you grew right past the streets where you were raised
sneaking out early to a secret place
like a hole in the wall
like a hole in the wall
into the bed you hang your sleep
watch your man as he sinks beneath
you cut out his heart and watch him die
so we can know you and that you're alive
as the hole in the wall
you are the hole in the wall
noone can know your soul
kisses and noise
now you belong to them all
awake to the dawn and scratch your eyes
light the prayer candles that you remind to
send you a boy that you could waste
a little piece of heaven to set you straight
through the hole in the wall
you are the hole in the wall
noone could tell you why
the tape's full of hiss
and sons who cry
to the night of the dead and the wishing ghost
beating on you to drain morose
through the hole in the wall
we are the holes in the wall
we are the
