Islands call out to me
Like the highlands that I always see
In my dreams of home
I am never alone when I am there
Islands like so many dreams
Are like canyons but off the main stream
And there’s no one there
The dreamer is always alone
And the mighty blue ocean
Keeps rolling on every shore
Like the spirit that binds us together
We are so much more than islands
Islands belong to the sea
Like the dark sands of my memory
When the morning comes
They are stepping stones to the sun
And the mighty blue ocean
Keeps rolling on every shore
Like the spirit that binds us together
I don't have to leave anymore
What I have is right here
Spend my nights and days before
Searching the world for what's right here
Underneath and unexplored
Islands and cities I have looked
Here I saw
Something I couldn't over look
I am yours now
So now I don't ever have to leave
I've been found out
So now I'll never explore
See what I've done
That bridge is on fire
Going back to where I've been
I'm froze by desire
No need to leave
Where would I be
IF this were to go under
It's a risk I'd take
I'm froze by desire
Islands, from the first time we saw
We could wait for this moment like rocks on the shore
You can never be closer somehow
For the moment that lasts is this moment, now
When the night’s on fire, oh will you keep the candlelight burning
Hold on to your heart’s desire
When you see one burn into the wind, another one’s turning
The truth can fly much higher
We are islands, but never too far, we are islands
And I need your light tonight and I need your light tonight
We are islands, but never too far, we are islands
And I need your light tonight and I need your light tonight
Islands, never been to before
And we climb so high to where the wild bird soars
There’s a new path that we’ve found just today
I was lost in the forest and you showed me the way
When the night’s on fire, oh will you keep the candlelight burning
Hold on to your heart’s desire
When you see one burn into the wind, another one’s turning
And the truth can fly much higher
We are islands, but never too far, we are islands
And I need your light tonight and I need your light tonight
We are islands, but never too far, we are islands
And I need your light tonight and I need your light tonight
We are islands, but never too far, we are islands
And I need your light tonight and I need your light tonight
We are islands, but never too far, we are islands
And I need your light tonight and I need your light tonight
We are islands, but never too far, we are islands
Islands in the sea are so much like me
They don't ever change, no emotion, no emotion
Islands on the land, dry like desert sand
Islands in the city, all alone it's such a pity
It's masquerade
Just painted faces
When will it change
Islands in the seas, what's come over me
We are both surrounded by the water, empty water
Give me mystery and the fear it brings
Anything at all to break up the monotony
It's masquerade
Just painted faces
When will it change
Never
Islands in the sea are so much like me
But they don't ever change, no emotion, no emotion
Islands on the land, dry like desert sand
Islands in the city, all alone it's such a pity
Islands in the sea
Islands in the sea
Islands in the sea
Islands in the sea
Forever, islands in the sea
Forever, islands in the sea
Forever, islands in the sea
Islands from the first time we saw
we could wait for this moment, like rocks on the shore
we can never be closer somehow
for the moments that lasts, is this moment now
Chorus
When the nights's on fire will you keep the Candlelight Burning
Hold on to your hearts desire
When you see one bird into the wind another one's turning
And the two can fly much higher
We are Islands but never too far, we are Islands
And I need your light tonight, and I need your light tonight,
We are Islands but never too far, we are Islands
And I need your light tonight, and I need your light tonight
Islands never been to before and we climb so high
to where the wild birds soar, there's a new path that
we found just today I was lost in the forest and you
showed me the way
You tell me that you've found a better way
I tell you that it isn't fuckin sane
Everything that I wanted has broke down
They all think that I'm just a fuckin clown
Everybody's telling me I gotta move faster.....
Everybody's telling me I'm a fuckin bastard!
All my dreams were just islands in the sky.
I tell you that the world's a scary place
You tell me we're caught up in the same race
Everybody's worried that they'll never get their share
I get left behind cause I wasn't ever there
They all think I'm mad
I want to rule the islands
And I want to rule the sea
But if you're not coming back
I will sleep eternally
And I want no heavy diamonds
And pearls crush my teeth
I just want my sailor
To sail back to me
Captain has a treasure
He says I hold the key
But old mangroves
And sweet winds blow songs
Of you and me
I want to rule the islands
And I want to rule the sea
But if you're not coming back
We were lying in bed, staring at the moon, and I was wondering if I was supposed to be in love.
But we couldn't quite decide if the moon was full, but I thought, well, tonight it's full enough.
And this morning I was casually trying to sniff my fingers on the way back home.
I could smell you and I felt like a little boy.
You tell me that you¡¯ve found a better way
And I tell you that it isn¡¯t fucking sane
Everything that I wanted has broke down
They all think that I¡¯m just a fucking clown
Everybody¡¯s telling me I gotta move faster¡
Everybody¡¯s telling me that I¡¯m a fucking bastard!
All my dreams were just islands in the sky (Repeat 4x) Listen | Buy
I tell you that the world¡¯s a scary place
You tell me we¡¯re caught up in the same race
Everybody¡¯s worried that they¡¯ll never get their share
I get left behind ¡®cause I wasn¡¯t ever there
But everybody¡¯s telling me I gotta move faster¡
Everybody¡¯s telling me that I¡¯m a fucking bastard!
All my dreams were just islands in the sky (Repeat 4x)
They all think I¡¯m mad
Everything I had just broke down¡
They all think I¡¯m mad
Everything I had just broke down¡
But everybody¡¯s telling me I gotta move faster¡
Everybody¡¯s telling me that I¡¯m a fucking bastard!
All my dreams were just islands in the sky (Repeat 4x)
(VERSE 1)
(Off shore) Either sink or swim
(I saw) What kind of boat I’m in
(Much more) Although I can’t forget you
The light is growing dim
(BRIDGE 1)
Feet are falling on foreign ground
Luck in short supply
I feel like Crusoe before him found
All gone pass me by
I walk on beach, I sleep on sand
I walk in water, salty sea got a hold on me
Daylight come, be it now or never
(CHORUS 1)
Lost on some horizon
No man is an island
(No man is an island)
(No man is an island)
(VERSE 2)
(Jackdaw) He don’t bother me
(Wild boar) He keep me company
(Panther) My only consolation
In my calamity
(BRIDGE 2)
Lady Luck or Lady Death
Must pass this shore some day
I hope she’s coming, I ain’t seen her yet
Come to take my soul away
Light my fire on the top of hill
So all the ships can see that I’m a prisoner here
And come before I disappear
(CHORUS 2)
Lost on some horizon
No man is an island
Banished here to prolong my silence
No man is an island
(No man is an island)
(No man is an island)
(No man is an island)
(No man is an island)
MIDDLE VERSE
(No man is an island)
(No man is an island)
(No man is an island)
(No man is an island)
(No man is an island)
(No man is an island)
Islands from the first time we saw
we could wait for this moment, like rocks on the shore
we can never be closer somehow
for the moments that lasts, is this moment now
Chorus
When the nights's on fire will you keep the Candlelight Burning
Hold on to your hearts desire
When you see one bird into the wind another one's turning
And the two can fly much higher
We are Islands but never too far, we are Islands
And I need your light tonight, and I need your light tonight,
We are Islands but never too far, we are Islands
And I need your light tonight, and I need your light tonight
Islands never been to before and we climb so high
to where the wild birds soar, there's a new path that
we found just today I was lost in the forest and you
showed me the way
Love bird, you flew into my window
Now in the sticky love nest sits a widow
The tree it fell on all the people
Gathered there to watch it topple
Now turn around, it's burning down
The city we live in
Should we mumble lies?
Take them by surprise?
Let them have their way with us?
Wounds be by old enemies
Broke my heart to see
Foundations ripped apart
And investments fade away
I guess we got off to a bad start
No oxygen
What is the outcome?
Hungry humans
We've got to enslave them
We'll burn those bridges
When we come to them
I'm not just their leader
I'm also one of them
The food supply has been depleted
The river's ran dry just when it was needed
The rats come out to take it over
Singing, squeaking, "We built this city"
It's hard to breathe
But we couldn't leave
Nowhere left to go
Almost everybody died
Drank the tears from those who cried
We shriveled from the sodium
And a map was found with an X on it
So we followed it there
And what did we find?
An underground design
As we entered in to our surprise
Oxygen
Rivers of playgrounds(?)
The ancients just stayed down
They never stopped moving
We stumbled towards them
But they locked all the barn doors
So we had to dig deeper
We had to dig deeper
And the deep was dark
I wanted to sleep forever
Wake up later, maybe never
We had to build a civilization
Let the planet focus on the planet's rotation
We tried, we tried
We really tried
But no one could do it
Happily(?) alive
Never learned how to survive
We were humans being useless
No oxygen
What is the outcome?
Hungry humans
We've got to enslave them
We'll burn those bridges
When we come to them
I'm not just their leader
I'm also one of them
Were freed into oblivion
No traces of civilized living eating the earth
We're fading to oblivion
A building fell on me
Crushed my will
And took my brother ooh
How could I have known
The windows would be closed
There was nowhere to leave
There was nowhere to go
The endlessness of lines
Drawn across time
Wrapped my finger to you
But you've gone beyond ooh ooh
I went back to look for you
Sifting through the living room
The living room
Fell into a hopeless nest
Misery tattooed, you
Back in, back in
You're never coming back
No matter what
The endlessness of lines
Broken like twine
Drawn across time
In a pointless line
A building fell on me
Crushed my will
And took by brother
Bones bones brittle little bones
its not the milk you seek
its the sun you need
and the sleek sleek skeleton i hold
where are the hidden folds
wheres the meat that you eat
total boy
tells me stories
sometimes they make me sorry
i need another
i need another
sugar doughnut and muffin baby
this world is going crazy
i think i'm through listening to you
bones bones brittle little bones
its not the milk you see
its just the sun you need
and the sleek sleek skeleton i hold
where are the hidden folds
where is the meat that you eat
gonna make some plans
wait and see
turn it off
turn me on
open your eyes look around you
fuck what you heard
you were lied to
sweetheart
sick body part
sickheart
sweet body part
bones bones brittle little bones
its not the milk you seek
its the sun you need
and the sleek sleek skeleton i hold
where are the hidden folds
Gone away, gone away, I miss you
All the way, will I see you again?
Sitting here, sitting here, the car is outdoors
When you come back, we'll get away
Then the alarm went off
Alarms went off, I heard it
I hope to God I don't hear gunshots
And the windowpane is closed
The way some violence sings pretty
Sirens in the distance closing in
Blending in, the casualty shrieking
Casually I headed for the highway
Sold you out, sold you out
Told them all the things that you'd done
Sold you out, sold you out
Tell me all the things that you had done
You were so devout, you were so committed to me
Then I got away
I was right outside, Going to drive away
Right from the start i was stabbed in the heart
Didn't know i wasn't breathing
Didn't know i had been bleeding
Open my door thought i was alone but
Someone was hiding
In the dark room in my home
Hey (honey?), you will remember some of it
But if you solve it
You will remember all of it
Creeper in my home
Crawled in through the window
I grabbed the kitchen knife
Couldn't stick it in
No, Creeper had his own
Shining in the moonlight
My home was very cold
And something didn't feel right
Right from the start i was stabbed in the heart
Didn't know i wasn't breathing
Didn't know i had been bleeding
open my door thought i was alone but
Someone was hiding
In the dark room in my home
Right from the start i was stabbed in the heart
Didn't know i wasn't breathing
Didn't know i had been bleeding
Open my door thought i was alone but
Someone was hiding
In the dark room in my home
Right from the start i was stabbed in the heart
Didn't know i wasn't breathing
Didn't know i had been bleeding
Open my door thought i was alone but
Someone was hiding
Wandering
Through the cold again
It's been cold outside
And it's getting cold again
Wondering
Why won't you let me in
It's been cold outside
And it's getting cold again
Someone is sleeping
Drowning out all that screaming
I miss my wife
I miss my best friend
Every night
I miss my home
I miss my own bed
And my old life
Ooh x4
I lost my love
It brought me so low
As described above
I lose desire
Into my mood swings
Into the fire
Ooh x4
I can feel my face
I can feel my face
I don't want to know where the feeling goes to some better place
I can feel my face
I can't feel my face
I don't want to know where the feeling goes to some better place
I don't want to know where the feeling goes to some better place
Ooh x4
I miss my wife
I miss my best friend
Every night
I miss my home
I miss my own bed
Passed him by a long time ago
But didnt stop to pick him up that day even though he
was late
We drove by
A year later my family moved, he moved to the same town
far away
We became friends, smoked cigs, played ball together in
all kinds of weather
We worked on our jump shot
Bucky little wing, you flew away
His name was Charles, he was my friend
We got along, but in the end
Bucky little wing, you flew away
It was tough being weak, while Bucky was strong
His daddy died in a car wreck
And I got sick of being pushed around
Standing my ground when Bucky had my back
Hiding in a bush and its okay
We started rolling with a different crew
Before I knew it we drifted to
Bucky little wing you flew away
Once some racist kids, this is what I heard, pushed him
underneath a moving truck
It swerved but got his head on accident
They ran like devils in the night
Word was he died. I didnt cry but oh, oh how I tried
Monday came and he did too, so he didnt die
Just some violet bruises and one shut eye
Cant believe that he survived, he was like a ghost
after that day
But he was just so mighty you might say
His name was Charles, he was my friend
We got along but in the end
Bucky little wing you flew away
Rack of lamb of God
We serve you instead in a bed
That's sweet to sleep forever
In outer space
Track saquatches
Through the snowy climbs of Canada
Are you an upright bear?
Are you even there?
Do you exist?
So sexy
So cold
So british
Try like hell
Explore anew in the carousel
Things don't change
Things don't change
Love everyone
As long as everyone's to blame
Space space space is the place
And the sun is fun fun fun
Severed body won't run
So take your sweet time
Frozen heads up in outer space
In a box
They crash back to earth
Crash back to earth
and they've brought
back with moon rocks
I think I spotted a yeti
Yet I didn't die
I'm not sure
Was it fur?
Was it alive?
They're coming home
But, my how the tundra has grown
Since you've been gone
Everyone's gone
Bye x 60
Rack of lamb of God
We serve you instead outta' bed
That's sweet to sleep forever
It's sweet to sleep forever
Except in outer space
Track saquatches
Through the snowy climbs of Canada
Are you an upright bear?
Are you even there?
Do you exist?
Don't I love you?
Isn't the sky gray?
Isn't the moon blue?
La dah dah dah
And don't I love you?
Until one hundred
Mmm, go unfed
Don't I love you...
And when I turned around
You had gone underground
And when I tried to coax you out
You didn't make a sound
Don't I love you?
Isn't the sky gray?
Isn't the moon blue?
Don't I love you
While my arms surround you
The capillaries of the community
are hemorrhaging on everything
They found your bones in the homes of a thousand little
gnomes
who’ve taken pieces for decoration
They'd opened up their mouths
Seemed like peaceful little mouths inside they found
a mouthful of pieces
But they wanted pieces of you, pieces of you
pieces of you, pieces of you
Somebody died here
I hear it was you
They loved the attention
they got from killing you
The capillaries of the community
are hemorrhaging on everything
The capillaries of the community
their hemorrhaging on everything
They put their fingers in your sockets
if you could hear the way they talk, its madness
uh uh uhhh
and what they got out of your pockets:
a couple coins, a key for lockin', it's sadness in your
face
But they wanted pieces of you, pieces of you
pieces of you, pieces of you
Pieces of you, made from pieces of you
Pieces of you, made from pieces of you
Little birds collapse in your arms
breaking into two
Beat a man to death with their hands
Did they regret anything?
It's a cold cold world
we swam into
It's cold cold water
In my mouth, my eyes, my ears, my nose, oh oh
Then my limbs are free like trees, let leaves leave,
leave, leave
Blue, cant move my head, my head, my head, go home, go
home
My legs cant stand, anymore
With wings, things would be far, even if they were near
Here in my head
Close my eyes and see ones Here in my head
Close my eyes and see ones Here in my head
Some voice said stand cause you can
And thats all that you have
Youre not in this alone
We all live in awkward little homes(holes?)
We all live in our heads, our legs, our toes, our eyes,
The morning I set sail on a whalebone
the gale. force winds made the sky grow
and I was far out in the ocean
when I cut the roof of my mouth on the potion
down down down went the femur
I let my backbone slide in the ether
laying low in a tropical hideout
if anyone finds out; I'll turn their lights out
subtitle: where there's a will there's a whalebone (way
to go) you'll never know
I set sail that morning and I may not come back know
lay low
in a hideout just to bust you- tro;pical
it's neurotic and exotic
with yet another broke down (bone) 'incidental
not accidental
when facts track the mental
even within movement they know, even with the solitary
movement
words get arranged for maximum deployment
words mean will
where there's a whalebone then there's a
tale gone wrong
young gang on a boat
it's the same song
same quote
nature stretches it out note by note
It'S a new state, you don't know the nomenclature, the
governor has status with
the cutting apparatus
and that is half the battle
they can't think of how to absorb us, they can't thing
of how to solve me
let's see
a cancerous mix of young pirates for kicks- signed,
seated C.(L.)(T.)G.
in congealed blood
this is all on the surreal
don't appeal to the side where the law resides
after all that, it's a separatist homicide
rappers try to cultivate carbon monoxide
you tried to get entranced by the folks that try to get
us by hap-happenstance.
busdriver: frame our press show with a whale sternum
and a dolphin femur, band breather lab tech with a
solvent
in a broken beaker, yell in boom mics and moonlight as
a coffin cleaner
then poolside I food fight with Hollywood anorexics
I'm in a crew of pallbearers and ambidextrous foosball
players
we got pool hall flair, remove all layers of industry
pretension
and augmented physical attributes
because I'm blanketed in nude doll hair
but with these styles we're shrewd on-air
so we've been annexed to an annexed isle
by the radio programmer, half - man reptile
that church of satin bible study tutor choir boy
prefers the works that are uninspired and coy
but uhh Driver's ploy is to show a lot of follow
through
wearing a monocle coming out a fiery void
collecting style in rental late fees
they never return it after the test drive
infatuated by a robots breast size
we ain't entertained by balloon animals
marooned on our tropical safe haven
everyday is a paid vacation
In the evening I arrived on a wishbone
so I wished all the stars would go home
but one was a dog with its tail drawn
it wagged (laughed) as it shed, now its long gone
I remember the flavour
but I made a choice to stay here
laying low in a tropical hide-out
same river we swim
like some sliver in skin
now we're in the river again
but it's moving
and it feels so could
maybe you will catch it, still
in the same river we swam in
more different than the same river we swam in again
breathing spores longing for
my lungs to be filled with your fungus no more
I cried as my cells divided
the feeling multiplies over time
and a boy sees me
strumming this simple song
and the boy comes close
he brings his sister along
the ecstatic unburdened youth,
they're never wrong
and the boy starts singing along
after all,
a voice, it's just a light
all the time in front of you
faceing faces placing places
changing every time you do
set off by soundless voices singing
rounded noises singing au revoir
forever
the same river we swam in
was more different than
the same river we swam in again
because it's moving
and it feels so cold
Oh Maria
Oh Maria is in the pasture
With all the people
Running past her
She said if every day's a holy day
Today must be the day of the dead
Oh Maria
Now that you're all alone
Do you remember that song?
She woke up singing along
Words came quickly but the melody was wrong
Oh Maria is in the pasture
With all the people
Running past her
She said if every day's a holy day
Today must be the day of the dead
Oh Maria
Now that you're all alone, do you remember that song
Just think of me when you're falling asleep
In trouble with the dogs
Yapping like the trogs on that tape
Getting stepped on like a baby
Maybe slept too long
Is that so wrong?
So at sunrise we moved on
At lunch the storm had gone away
I didn't swim
But I watched the waves
While others stayed
under for over an hour
While lovers hovered around the towel
We washed our mouths at the riverbed
When we noticed something glowing
It was growing
Things are going to change
Hot rainfalls made of magma
melts Alaska
And in icy Argentine they say now I've seen it all
Who knew? Volcanoes!
In trouble with the gods
We didn't always misbehave
Where the sun shone, now it's gone
Weve been waiting for so long
Now it's on.
Not that we would do ourselves in
Funny how things work out in the end
I never learned to swim
Now I'm wasted, I'm too old
Just hold on for as long as you can
I'm so afraid to die
We washed our mouths at the riverbed
When we noticed something glowing
It was growing
Things are going to change
Hot rainfalls made of magma
melts Alaska
And in icy Argentine they say now I've seen it all
Who knew? Volcanoes!
The frogs, the frogs got it first
And the birds all knew it too
The worst was the worse smell on earth
Silver and snow
Silver and snow
Don't breathe
Don't breathe
Don't breathe
Dont breathe
We washed our mouths at the riverbed
When we noticed something glowing
It was growing
Things are going to change
Hot rainfalls made of magma
melts Alaska
And in icy Argentine they say
now I've seen it all
Who knew? Volcanoes!
big boat caught in my throat
it's the deck hand hitting the wrong notes
came to with a pain in my gut again
I cut it open wide, took out a box
inside the box there was a beat keeping time
is it a crime to pass the blame
if every time the punishments the same
life is a loose tooth leaving your mouth
so get it out get it out
dig that ditch
ditch that dirt
it's just a body now
pick me up so I can fall back down again
decending into vertigo
if it's a crime they'll hang me every time
I tried to offer up a reason why
I tried, my dear, to set things straight
I fear that I was too late to be cleared of the crime
I just missed a slap on the wrist,
a key witness to the stand
but the jury's out creeping about & I am a guilty man
and the cyst is growing into this
so I drowned in the boat I choked down
and the captain remained proud
looked down, seeing the ground getting closer to me
and now the ground is coming up my sleeves
pick me up so I can fall back down again
descending into vertigo
if it's a crime they'll hang me every time
I tried to offer up a reason why
I tried, my dear, to set things straight
I fear that I was too late to be cleared of the crime
if it's a crime, they'll hang me every time
I tried to set things straight
To a bond
Underneath a bridge between two trees
Both blowing leaves
Into that great ravine
You came swimming with me
I like how you swim
You do it with ease
Then an oar came down
Struck the water
Bad luck struck us down
Bruised, removed you
Brought you to shore
Before they came for you
Then I watched you dissapear
Dripping bloodstained footsteps smear
Don't let the bleeding stop
It's everything you got
In a body
Undergoing night surgery, enemy
Wants to cut into me
I escaped in the nick of time,
Centipede
Floats by on a leaf
I like how it floats
It does it with ease
Saw you on the ledge
Talked you down
Talked your ear off, then
We walked around
'Till you had to leave
To catch a train
At 10
Gone around the bend
But bound like chinese feet
Don't go unravelling
Travelling into the blue
Returned to look for you
Couldn't say goodbye
The porchlight in my heart
Had gone out in the dark
And flies
Had gone out in the dark
Like flies
If Penny rolls away
I will have lost everything
In many subtle ways
I already don't have anything
I hate to watch you go
Nick if you ever learn it never shows
And this is not a song
So why do I find it so hard to move on
Feels a crime to be cryin' for this long
In upper atmosphere my head comes loose
And in the free fall I can feel the blues
I hate to watch you go
Nick if you ever learn it never shows
If this is just a song
Then why do I find it so hard to move on
Breathe in deep
I want you to
That's why the arm came for you
Help you up, help you out
To help you through
That's why the arm came for you
You faded into a different shade
A completely different hue
Of a kind of blue
In a lifeless carcass
In a bad ass car crash
Hopefully you'll wake up soon
Hopefully you do
I want you to
That's why the arm came for you
That's why the arm came for you
That's why the arm came for you
Now you'll see how it feels
To live like a bee
Always searching, for what's honey
And the veins made some stains
When they burst from your legs
Your anxiety is a tapestry
Now you'll swim until it's deep
Until it feels like you're asleep
Against the sound of warning cries
Which you don't hear
I could not hear
In a lifeless carcass in a bad ass car crash
Hopefully you wake up soon
Hopefully you do
I want you to
That's why the arm came for you
That's why the arm came for you
That's why the arm came for you
Don't go to sleep, don't want you to
That's why the arm came for you
Need you to even if it's pointless to
Let your arms carry you
You're mine, you're mine
You'll always be mine
Lord knows I tried to keep you from leaving
Maybe I'll try
You're mine, you're mine
Is that why I lied
If I tell the truth
You weren't breathing
Maybe I'll try
Turned on the radio
So many songs
This one is good
But what else is on
Same thing
Same thing
Same thing
Same thing
I loved a girl
And I will never love again
There's no one in this world
I could ever love again
Same thing
Same thing
Same thing
Same thing
I can't wait to see
What becomes of me
The ease with which I sleep
The world beat you for the something nice
You worked hard, died more
You mined what you died for
Diamonds di di di di di uh
You can whistle my name
It's the mines, in Africa
That are to blame
You can Scoop out my brain
Shape it into an ear and then tell me your pain
I've been awake from the first day
Stayed awake, stayed awake
The rabbit (?) the whole moon
Longer, short road
Dig deep but don't dig too deep
When it's late you'll see the hole is empty and oh so
deadly
They want me raw and smooth like glass
They want it fast but they don't want flaws
I'm a girl's best friend
Can you cut, I can cut, 'cause I'm a rough gem
who lives in those lights in the distance?
Watered down, the rain will help you out
I had a dream, it was all a dream
don't buy dope from the man you don't know
i don't know you won't
don't get stuck in his pickup truck
in arms reach, front seat
man, you're outta luck
flush it downstream
before its found, drowned, swimming in your blood
stream
if you must, crush it up into dust
if you must cut it up then lie down
but i won't let you tell me
what i can't do
you'll try to scare me
but you're never gonna catch me
so don't you tell me how to run that race
you said don't back down in your wedding gown
don't make a sound, you never made a sound
don't chime in with your oppinion
you dont need to object, man, you're such a wreck
rush to find a pulse before
you're deep in the dirt
crushed by a cross like
jumping out of a moving train
coming down is such a pain
but i won't let you tell me
what i can't do
you'll try to scare me
but you're never gonna catch me
I walk right in
I sat right down
Listenin' to the saddest song
If I don't feel bad is there something wrong
I sympathize
I synthesized
A teardrop from my tired eyes
But I don't feel sad
And I cannot cry
And I won't cry for you
'Cause I'm not able to
She said I don't mind
Instead think of why
The chorus wept
The bridge caved in
The verses stung your perfect skin
But I don't feel like
It's touched my soul
So I climbed right in
Listenin'
I got so close you'd think I'd been
Haunted by the teary eye
But I won't cry for you
'Cause I'm not able to
She said I don't mind
Instead think of why
I heard your voice sing just one note
The sweetest sound came from your throat
I heard you cry, cry
To a lonesome lullaby, lullaby
And the only love
Is a lonely love
And now you know why
While aglow
In dulcet tones
You heard a low,
Troubled note
And though you found yourself unsettled
By the disquieting sound
It didn't get you down, it didn't get you down
Home, where you wanna be alone
With your lonely little love
And my how you have grown
Have you come into your own
Lalala lonely little hands
Of a lonely little man
Lalala lonely little hands
Of a lonely little man
The unkindness of
Raven love
Soon becomes
A hole in your heart
Where feeling should be but where everything's been torn apart
La la lala lala lonely love
Lonely little love
Lalala lonely little love
Lonely little love
Lalalalala lonely love
Lonely little love
Lalala lonely little love
I don't want no part of this lonely love
I don't want no part of this love
I don't want no part of this lonely love
you sure you want to spend your life in jail?
how you gonna spend your life in jail?
i was on my way
first break the skin, next open the wound
now force your fingers in, then here's what you do:
climb inside the vein and have some heart
you said "i want to spend my life in jail"
why do you want to spend your life in jail?
"i've lost my way"
"pour concrete on me delicately, baby
so i can live my sedimental life sedentarily". what a
life
"i could just sit here for hours and watch TV".
worthlessly
so that's why you choose to spend your life in jail?
who would choose to spend their life in jail?
you've lost your way
"blow my money on my favorite company
they can blow holes in my ozone
so pour that concrete on my clothes
i like it when my skin glows
besides there's nothing to live for"
unless you live a little more like you're going to die
(ohh!, woo!)
so what the fuck are you going to do?
they robbed your life from you
tell them you want to get it back
if you do, i've got your back
yes it's something worth defending
so throw caution to the wind
and other platitudes
that were written just for you
take a shit in their swimming pool
let them chase you if you do
finally something is happening to you
put an axe through the TV
blow up your radio
though you can't see them now
you'll hear birds singing in your soul
sneak your way past the gates in a little hard heart
shape
if you're gonna be a shark you better learn to stay
awake
(oooo, ooooo)
buh buh buh buh bow bow bow, bow bow, bow bow.
Lungs love holes
Escaping words you know
Smoke gets in your eyes
Still blowing in the wind
And we can't beat this cancer, can we?
Answer me
Kids don't know shit
Everything they've learned is wrong
Boys in the neighborhood are fit, they fight all night
long
Kids don't know it, but everything they've touched is
gone
Cause no one understands,
You can't stand under something that's all wrong
When you're facing the day
When you're wasting away
And you get lighter than your brain
And it grows tighter everyday
Love's lungs hold air to a blow a hole
Cold chest grows, fills up with smoke
At least your head is warm
Still forming ways to warm the baby, the baby's bed
Cause kids don't know shit
Everything they've learned is wrong
The girls on the block are listening in,
They sing, 'let's get strong'
Kids don't know it, but everything they've got is gone
We used it for some fuel and food
Then the rats took it from us and made a bomb
Words love holes
Getting lost in lies we know
Still believing branches weaving forests
Leaving helps them grow
Kids don't know shit
Everything we learned was wrong
Deep down we knew it,
We always knew it all along
Nebulor splendor, I'll remember those constellations
forever
A cursory person turns to me and says
There's joy to be had when you're crazy, mental, mad
You run around town with your trousers pulled down, you
can shout (rah-rah!), and laugh (ha-ha), and sing (la-la)
when you're showing your ass!
When you're crazy, mental, mad, there is joy to be had!
When you're crazy mental mad, there is joy, there is joy
to be had!
You would bang a pot on your head and pretend that you're
dead (bang motherfucker!), you can chase the folks around
and wrestle with them on the ground
You don't have to go to work!
You don't have to wear a shirt!
You don't have to be a jerk!
You don't have to eat that dirt, HEY!
When you're crazy mental mad, there is joy to be had!
When you're crazy mental mad there is joy, there is joy
barefoot, passing through
I knelt down to get a better view
of what grew there
well what grew there?
scared, heard a terrible sound
lay down played dead
that's when I heard it clearer
in the rushes a voice said:
you could walk around forever
and never notice me
a little closer in the rushes
hiding down among the reeds
a seed
I swallowed
it digested quick
but not enough to not make me sick, I lost it
it tasted like a light going off inside my mind
then suddenly I was out of harm's way
forgetting the desire to remember
trans tourist vanished
finished damaged playback
I felt myself unraveling at a racetrack
I felt myself unraveling at a racetrack
then I coughed up blood
scraped it off my tongue
sucked it off my thumb
but it was rotten
care, to care
I knelt down but you weren't there
anymore
I was pushed into a bush
in the rushes on the screen
it was all acting
can't believe it
believe that I had seen it
remembered who was in my arms
remembered when I had arms
it's like a dream
the way that it unfolded
like I'd been in the rushes without knowing
I kissed it but I must admit
I missed it now I do forget
like I'd been in the rushes without knowing
you've been forgotten
you've been forgotten
You are forgotten
it's been forgotten
Open up your door for me
And let me in
Oh, can't you see
How cold I am?
You remain there
Unabated
And you refuse to
Let me lose you
Only when I sleep I do
And sounds forming words
From the well spring of concern
While my boat in that old shun turned
On the hull I watched the city burn
In a dream
In a dream
In a dream
It seemed real
Even in the dream I cried
I'm the giveaway
I could never hide
All the sadness inside
Blue, what a funny color to
Color you
Love is hard to hold onto
Only when I sleep, I do
And sounds forming words
From the well spring of concern
While my boat in that o-cean turned
On the hull I watched the city burn
In a dream
In a dream
In a dream
If the clothes make the man, then the moths make the
holes
And it shows, yes it shows, by the shape the hole grows
If early man really did mate with Neanderthal
Then modern man is a mix of beastial sex
If you aint sweet to me, Ill desert you in a heartbeat
If you dont savour me, Ill salt you make you savoury
If the boy keeps on hitting his head against the dash of
the car
Will the horsefly leave his ear will the blood make it
hard
If
.
If sequencing genes brings them back to breed
Mm mm mmm mm
Will we get along with them this time?
If
.
When the sky finally falls, if youre holding me
in the back of my mind
I want to do bad things
I want to be unkind
when I'm in my room
I love the shadows
of my bad bones
I have thoughts I won't share
because I don't think I could bear to
face you with the lights on
I feel evil creeping in
Creeping in
Oh I feel evil creeping in
Creeping in
my blood is dirty and I like it
I like it that way
I could see the whole city
when I pushed you
out of my fucking way
I left the sun on your skin
so when I wore it
it would fit me
When I'm in my room
and the ceiling's feeling thin
I feel evil creeping in
I feel evil creeping in
Creeping in
Oh I feel evil creeping in
Creeping in
a beacon landed on the shoulders
with a bird to regurgitate good words
I told her bird is the word
little nettle stinging
numbing poison sleeping in
humming "lost the feeling of the vessel sinking"
like sleepin in
the S.O.S. was lost on me
my crew were swimming
in a turgid sea
it was me Ohooooo
it was me who committed
the felony
take my hands
I love the blame
I'll take suffering
I feel evil creeping in
Creeping in
Oh I feel evil creeping in
Creeping in
when I behave
nobody cares
when I behave badly
nobody dare cross me
Cross me X7
I feel evil creeping in
Creeping in
Oh I feel evil creeping in
I don't have to leave anymore
What I have is right here
Spend my nights and days before
Searching the world for what's right here
Underneath and unexplored
Islands and cities I have looked
Here I saw
Something I couldn't over look
I am yours now
So now I don't ever have to leave
I've been found out
So now I'll never explore
See what I've done
That bridge is on fire
Going back to where I've been
I'm froze by desire
No need to leave
Where would I be
IF this were to go under
It's a risk I'd take
I'm froze by desire
As if a choice I'd make
I am yours now
So now I don't ever have to leave
I've been found out
So now I'll never explore
Mountains shed water, islands need sea
Take me over the river, electricity
Gold in your pockets, lose some for me
I sense them coming, electricity
Promise, promise me, return the dead
This heart burns electricity
We have a life together, we have ties to break
Our past's an island we have set to sea
Promise me, promise me, return the dead
This heart burns electricity
Mountains shed water, islands need sea
Five days
Underwater
Near your island
Off the coast
I know
Five ways
You were my lover
Incantation
Off the tide
In rhyme
Oh, what if the whole world finds you waiting
Oh, as it can so long now have
Oh, I thought you knew that I'd be coming
The way you move, a foreign groove, at night
I could never
I could never hold you
Watch it rise and where you hide your pearl
Feel the tide low where you cast those stones you wear
When no one's home, do they feel cold on your bones
All the years I miss your warmth
Have you missed my warmth?
If the sun is to set
To leave us dark with regret
I will work up the strength
To pull our earth back round again
And if the ocean should freeze
Before we've sailed all the seas
I will drop to my knees
Until Poseidon agrees
We could build an island
You and I could swim beside
Where we could ride the tides
Until we fall asleep at night
[x2]
If you get scared of the space
Between now and those days
Then I will take you away
Somewhere fear has no place
We'd make ashes of our clothes
And grow a garden out of those
And watch the water as it rose
To bring the ocean to our toes
We could build an island
You and I could swim beside
Where we could ride the tides
Until we fall asleep at night
[x2]
It's true
Distance just makes my heart grow for you
And everything I want for us to do
To build an island between me and you
Build an island between me and you
We could build an island
You and I could swim beside
And we could ride the tides
Until we fall asleep
We could build an island
You and I could swim beside
Where we could ride the tides
Until we fall asleep at night
[x2]
We could build an island
We could ride the tides
Oh, we could build an island
I can remember the day
When you were excited by me
now the bed story time is gone
what ever you think of me
I cannot give much you see
maybe that's better if you leave now
but every time I pay
then you prefer to stay
such an ironic day
I'll be dead in november
And I'll dance till december
I only want you to remember, all now
I gave my love to an island
I should have broken the silence
well there is nothing I can hide, all now
I can remember the day
when you were in love with
now the glourious times have gone
lonely as I am by now
I've just decided to by
a golden record for my own pleasure
but every time I wake up
in the black cold day
i leave my coffe way
I'll be dead in november
And I'll dance till december
i only want you to remember, all now
i gave my love to an island
i should have broken the silence
well there is nothing i can hide, all now
I'll be dead in november
And I'll dance till december
i only want you to remember, all now
i gave my love to an island
i should have broken the silence
I don't have to leave anymore
What I have is right here
Spend my nights and days before
Searching the world for what's right here
Underneath and unexplored
Islands and cities I have looked
Here I saw
Something I couldn't over look
I am yours now
So now I don't ever have to leave
I've been found out
So now I'll never explore
See what I've done
That bridge is on fire
Going back to where I've been
I'm froze by desire
No need to leave
Where would I be
If this were to go under
That's a risk I'd take
I'm froze by desire
As if a choice I'd make
I am yours now
So now I don't ever have to leave
I've been found out
So now I'll never explore
[x2]
So now I'll never explore
If I walk away like I don't care
Will you magically appear
Oh to wipe away my tears
Oh the feeling in the darkness
Oh I could swear
You feel, so near
Just touch me if you're really there
Let me tell you how I feel,
I never felt a love so real.
Like an island from a cloud,
You've appeared to me somehow,
I was yours and you were mine
In another place and time
Like two islands in the sea
Separated endlessly
Now say you love me like you do,
And all the things I wanna hear,
Oh, please whisper in my ear,
If all the fates align to find you,
And show me how to understand
You're here, right now,
And I can't even touch your hand
Let me tell you how I feel,
I never felt a love so real.
Like an island from a cloud,
You've appeared to me somehow,
I was yours and you were mine
In another place and time
Like two islands in the sea
Seperated endlessly
Is there a chance for love, like I've been dreaming of,
The dream could fade away and you'd be gone,
So I'm holding oooooon.....
Let me tell you how I feel,
I never felt a love so real.
Like an island from a cloud,
You've appeared to me somehow,
I was yours and you were mine
In another place and time
Like two islands in the sea
Separated endlessly
Let’s give the monkey something to swing on
That boy’s been hanging around for days
I’m not the kind of man to lean on
That monkey best not swing my way
But more than this
For just one kiss
I’ll kill these men in your name
And sail away
We’ll build an island
We’ll build an island
We’ll build an island in your sea of tears
And call it home for a hundred years
An island in your fleeting fears
Don’t call this home, don’t call this home
Let’s give the bastards a lesson in love
After all that’s the Roman way
I’ll find a last word they can lean on
And get the monkey off of me
But more than this
With just one fist
I’ll raise a coup in your name
And sail away
We’ll build an island
We’ll build an island
We’ll build an island
We’ll build an island
We’ll build an island in your sea of tears
And call it home for a hundred years
An island in your fleeting fears
Don’t call this home, don’t call this home
We’ll build this island
