The buildings aren't going anywhere
But don't they look lonely from here
Street lit twin domes
Long time no see
And God you look better now

Clear me a space
To gaze at the stars
They dreamed about telescopes
Alone in the park
I thought of the empty cars
Surrounded by ugly homes
So hand me a pen
To write the card
To say goodbye
Clear me a space
To gaze at the stars

I've only got two arms two legs
One nose one mouth
Two eyes two ears
I'm nobody's god you know
Nobody's lord you know
I'm only what you know
And I found that my heart was not
On my sleeve again
In my hour of pain
It showed up in my rectal tract
In the same place that my mouth was at
I don't need your philosophy
I need your surgery

I saw the north star shining
From the airport bar
Here the tape deck hissing
When I press the rewind
I felt the ocean rising
Along the harbour wall
Hear the big storm blewing
Some older moment
I saw the north star shining
From the airport bar
Hear the tape deck hissing

She danced in your black shoes
She danced with you
When violence is the answer
Pain's the only outcome
And every cut is wet
In the blood you let
I heard them whisper that maybe I would die
And every twist of steel
Caressed the way I feel

I hate what I've become
I know I'm not the only one
That doesn't make it any easier
How can you stand in my setting sun
Knowing full well what I have done
While you were visiting your kin
It was a good day for love that way
Maybe not such a good day for me
But a good day for you
I am what I have done
I know I'm not the only one
That only makes it a little bit harder
It was a good day for love that way
Maybe not such a good day for me

I've a feeling you're not coming back
As you ran down the hall (and out the flat that we shared for a year)
Just say you've been tempted down south
But don't say (sorry)
If the wild winds won't speak your name
In the pouring rain (you ran off so fast)
You'll keep for a month at the most
But don't stay (lonely)
Don't say sorry

If you only gave me half the paint
That I need to paint your house
I'll only paint half your house
And then all of your fears
Shall truly come upon you
The rain lies in the atmosphere
Ruin all the walls
And die on all their floors
Raining in the silent days
Waste the paint
The floods closed the house
All over the town
We argued and then I walked out
When the sky comes down
It comes down on your head
And even if the sun lit days

I might have unleashed
A storm from your eyes
That tears through the skies
The weather is black
It came like a flood
From the oceans above
The summer has all but gone for this year
I was led to believe
The mountain stands still
A tear from the sky
The weather is black
It's a life giving force
We must keep at bay

The last tear that you cried
Was your last wave goodbye
The first arc of the sun
Appeared in the sky
To light up the room
And all who stand round
Holding your hand
She gave you a flower
To plant before dawn
And gave us this house
With a wild green lawn
The longer it's been
The deeper it goes
No one can live
On this much sleep
If I let you in, you'll ruin my day
If I let you out, you'll look back and see
That I'm tired beyond belief
And I'm scared to fall asleep
I thought that I lay awake in my room
Until I woke it slowly seeped in
She beats on my chest, I've been here before

I made the first mistake that winter makes
I bought the wrong coat
In autumn Santa wears a green cloak
In winter he wears red
I never thought that tea would stain my cup
As much as coffee could
A storm of torn white Christmas cards
The blanket on our bed
I made the first mistake that summer makes
I bought the wrong sized shoes
The autumn fires and winter sun

I am a husk
My insides have fallen out
They lay to decay
I am a shell
I used to live in the sea
But I've since passed away
I'll be washed to the shore
Good friends don't always know more
I want to live by the sea
Wash the silt from my shell
I owned a house
It was all that I worked toward
For the past three decades
You blessed the sand
That the four walls were built upon
In a well sheltered bay
I'll be carried away
It's been a year to the day
I want to live by the sea

Meet me in the old house
When the concrete is colder
Linoleum is peiling from the floor
Split the deck and take the card
The jokers have been taken out
The kings and queens are laughing at the name of hearts
Hold my teeth, don't breath in or fan me
Small stones grow large in soil and sand
Hold my teeth, don't breath in or fan me

You looked through
My empty eyes
And gazed upon those unspoken lies
I have seen
The ruthless machine
Cut right through all that you and I have been
You moved to
An unfurnished room
I didn't think you would move away so soon
I give thanks
For our dreams
They bring back home all that you and I have been

I felt faint
From the lack of oxygen
At the height of mount misery
At the height of mount misery
We walked all over
Rain falls plateaus
Til we reach the height of mount misery

I'll only be gone for a while
The visit was long overdue
I'll count back from every mile
A while is a long way from you
You really should get some rest now
I'll see you on my return
Once you have got your strength back
