Anywhere With You

I know I can't come near you
Every time I do
I get shaking inside and the sun in my eyes
So I'll stay away

I'd rather be here
Than anywhere with you

I've been dancing with your ghost
Toasting note to note
So here's to the passing of all that could be
Between you and me

I'd rather be here
Than anywhere with you

I know I cannot see you
Even if I wanted to
Because your light is the light of ten sunsets
Circled by eyes burned blue and open wide

I'd rather be here
Than anywhere with you

I'd rather be here
Than anywhere with you




What Went Wrong

A month ago,there we were
Surrending ourselves to the local police
Paying them not to tell
While we waited we all

Sang a song of sorrow
Solely to remember
What went wrong

Leonard looked like a ghost gave him a foot massage
Molly shoook like a fish dangling on a line
Walter wore women's clothes

We sang a song of sorrow
Solely to remember
What went wrong

In the darkness
We were all strip searched
But nothing was found

Suffering from the full cavity search
We fell to our knees to repent
I can't recall right now what it was that we did

We sang a song of sorrow
Solely to remember
What went wrong




Driving In The Dark

Life leaks from you fingertips
Onto sparkling pavement
Having heard the news you stubmle, stuttering, confused

Helicoptors line the sky
Marching men are rolling by
Babies in their baskets blankly stare through space

Ever since I first saw you
Standing in the black frozen night
I've been blind
But I've been driving in the dark towards you
Not stopping 'til I catch the sunlight
In my eyes

Sirens sing over the streets
Chimpanzees are on tv
Everybody's working waiting for the week to end

Ever since I first saw you
Standing in the black frozen night
I've been blind
But I've been driving in the dark towards you
Not stopping 'til I catch the sunlight
In my eyes
And nothing's left to hide

Ever since I first saw you
Standing in the black frozen night
I've been blind
I'm running out of time

Ever since I first saw you
Standing in the black frozen night
I've been blind
But I've been driving in the dark towards you
Not stopping 'til I catch the sunlight
In my eyes
And nothing's left to hide




Rise

Let's call it off
I've had enough of the games
If you coud see into me
All my veins are tangled up, tied

In knots and my heart beats slowly now,
It's emptying into the the streets
Swirling straight away down the drain and back to sea

When is the time when you aren't in my mind?
Setting flames, ravaging all my dreams?
When can I finally wake to the sunlight shining on my cheeks
And the wind sweeping me away
Far from every memory with your face in the frame?
That'll be the day

When the sky starts burning, the earth ain't moving
We all become sane
And we rise in the morning to kiss the scorching sun before it falls




In Reverie

Bottles breaking on my face
Are only a reminder of your love I lost a lifetime ago
Was I dreaming when I knew you? I don't know

So once again I swim in reverie
Without your love
Feels so long ago I can't remember now
Where we began

Smell of burning photographs slowly slide to my nostrils
I try to remembering the soft silence of summer sweating in the evening

So once again I swim in reverie
Without your love
So long ago I can't remember now
Where we began

So once again I swim in reverie
Without your love
So long ago I can't remember now
Where we began

So once again I swim in reverie
Without your love
So long ago I can't remember now
Where we began
Where we began
Where we began
Where we began




Morning In The Moonlight

I'm all out of time
Watching a swaying tide
Tomorrow had died
Guess no one gets out alive

The moonlight in the morning sun sends shivers over my skin
The memories are slowly slipping and I'm sailing against the wind

Madness ensues
Swimming in the ocean blues
The dream-dripping sky
Covers my insides

The moonlight in the morning sun sends shivers over my skin
My memories are slowly slipping and I'm sailing against the wind




Monkey

Hello me, are you in there?
Making sure you're not dead
Smelled some rotting flesh

I heard you left him alone
Suns up with open roads
Get down, freak out
The time is right now

Drop your things and burn your clothes
Why we're here, no one knows
Watch the bombs explode

He sold you a dream
And carved you up like meat
Laid down the law
Locked your heart behind bars

While you were sleeping he would whisper in your ear
The monkey will bite
Better eat your poultry, too
There's no use
Don't try to ask the doctor
What's going on inside your head
Just fall out and get in line
Like all good soliders do.

You awoke to his games
Running circles in your brain
Can't believe your eyes

What's up? What's down?
He spun you around
What's near? What's far?
God knows what you are
Can you remember when this began?

The monkey will bite
Better eat your poultry, too
There's no use
Don't try to ask the doctor
What's going on inside your head, it's pretend
there's no meaning,
just stare at the ceiling
and play dead for your whole life.




In My Waking Life

I'm never in my waking life
Dreaming is my all the time
Whether it's the weather or my mind
It's all too much

Calling in the frigid wind,
A whisper is my dearest friend
Leading me along a lily-laden twisting trail

Where we go, will tomorrow know?
Into the vast and empty alleys we proceed

I'm never in my waking life dreaming is my all the time
Whether it's the weather or my mind
It's all too much

Crawling over cloudy streets
Streaming with a billion feet
Fumbling along into the dark and dismal day

Where we go, will tomorrow know?
Into the vast and empty alley's we proceed
Forever winding our way weary without sleep
Forever winding our way weary without sleep
Oh oh oh..

I'm never in my waking life, dreaming is my all the time
Whether it's the weather or my mind
It's all too much

Calling in the frigid wind
A whisper is my dearest friend
Leading me along a lily-laden twisting trail




She

She is a dying dandelion floating on the breeze
Swirling sweetly in the evening
She is the stars glowing gorgeously
She is the sloping clouds

Forever scrolling
Unfloding
She is the sun'burned blue and shadows on the moon
She is the morning dew
Dangling on leaves leaking into streams

Forever flowing
Unfolding
No one can say her name

Now she sits and sings something about my dreams
Hours go by before she looks at me
She breaks my heart
As I open my eyes to drink the melon sky




Where Are You

Where are you and where am I?
We've been slipping slowly south

I guess my tongue is tied
To the starry sky tonight

'Cause I'm not sure what's going on
I feel the earth quaking beneath me

It feels like elephants
Trampling my hollow chest

If I could move just one fingernail
I'd scratch your name on the back of my hand
So I would never forget you again

Remember when was way back then
And as for now, I'm just dangling
Between the moon and melon sunset




Wednesday The Third

Now as I lay by your side would you tell me why everything has to be lies
Leaving everyone wondering when we'll all wind up dead to all we are within

Wednesday the third was the that you rambled alone in the frigid white light
Like a leopard about to dig into trembling skin with wind whipping your shins

Oh, haven't you heard the news?
Nobody came too soon
Surprise!
Our eyes are opening up to you

Now as I lean to the side I can see all the thought's that you're trying to hide
I've arranged for a ferry to France where you should relax
Don't worry about the pets, they'll be safe at our address

Oh, haven't you heard the news?
Nobody came too soon
Surprise!
Our eyes are opening up to you
Nobody came too soon
Surprise!
Our eyes are opening up to you
You'll always be in
Our eyes are opening up to you
You'll always be in
Our eyes are opening up to you

You've left everyone wondering when we'll all wind up dead to all we are within
But now as the daisies die off and the wind scurries scarlet leaves like they were dust
We can see somewhere off to the east a gaggle of geese are singing your goodbye
Hear their sweetest lullaby
Listen up to hear the sky will soon clear and you'll be the last one to wish for rain




Tomorrow Too Late

Light beams through windows
Streams into my eyes, explodes like red balloons
As it reminds me of you so long ago

Wind blows through a hole in the roof
Brings your perfume like lillies to me
And all I can do is remember you
When was the last time I held you all through the night?
Feels like a zillion years and I don't want to wait more
To find you is to lose you, what is that for?
Tell me

When was the last time I held you all through the night
Never a worry would run through my heart like a knife?
Feels like a zillion years and I don't want to wait more
To find you is to lose you, what is that for?
One more night and I might never know who you are
Tell me

When was the last time I held you all through the night
Never a worry would run through my heart like a knife?

When was the last time I held you all through the night
Never a worry would run through my heart like a knife?

Tomorrow is much too late
I need you now, be my light

Tomorrow is much too late
I need you now
