Faith pours from your walls, drowning your calls
I've tried to hear, you're not near
Remembering when I saw your face
Shining my way, pure timing
Now I've fallen in deep, slow silent sleep
it's killing me, I'm dying

To put a bit of sunshine in your life

Soleil all over you, warm sun pours over me
Soleil all over you
Warm sun

Now this slick fallen rift came like a gift
your body moves ever nearer
And you will dry this tear
Now that we're here, and greave for me, not history
But now I'm dry of thoughts, wait for the rain
Then it's replaced, sun setting

And suddenly we're in love with everything

Soleil all over you, warm sun pours over me
Soleil all over you
Warm sun

. . .



Been feeling high
Then feeling low
Strap your hands across my engines
I'm not a broke so please don't bend me

Your like neon sign
Just burn so bright
Penetrates like an infection
Gives me feeling I can't mention

Maybe all I need
You need to
Don't wait for me
I'll wait for you

Gonna follow you around
Gonna wear you down
Don't want to alienate you
As long as it might take you

Things come in ones
And double up to twos
Don't want to rain on your prossession
Only seeking you obsession

It might take a little time
Got all the time we need
I'm not here to try and fool you
Just trying to break down thru you
That's wasn't right
Then nothings wrong
I've gotta feeling it's alright
Gotta keep you in my sights

. . .

Bewilder

[No lyrics]

. . .



Don't ask me where to
Fall in a river
I might deliver
You all the way home

I guess you think I'm stupid
Or something
But that's a good thing
That's OK

. . .



Camping next to water
Fish infested slaughter
I feed the fishes into me
It's a misty within reason
I'm hoping I don't freeze here
I fuel the fire, I feed it's glow
But there's no use in feeling
All the things I'm feeding
There's no one here to feel with me

The second is easier
Though it may be breezier
And the snow is falling down
But as the fire smoulders
I will never will grow older
Because I drink from Waterfalls
The stars above shine on me
I'll catch and save them in a jar

My feet a mass of blisters
Collecting frost on whiskers
As I taste the morning dew
I think my mind is clearer now
I want you to be nearer now
I'm ready t come back to you
Cause there's no use in feeling
All the things I'm feeling
There's no one here to feel with me.

. . .



So we restored harmony
Smooth the lines on the face
Of an old enemy
But there's no wood on the fire again
We could meet in a place you know where
I know when to go

Skip like a stone on the water
Fall with no trace to lie permanently

Into the valley we roam
Where we fumble around
Until we find our way home
Yet all we have is an old ball of string
Will it reach to the end of this old labyrinth
No.

Skip like a stone on the water
Fall with no trace to lie permanently

. . .



Why are you trembling so much,
I don't think I ever felt so good.
When all I need is to be free,
Where I love you and you love me.
Follow the circle sur le plage,
On a mono-coloured trip voyage.
This is the colour of my word,
Stay watch me find another pearl.

Follow the gold leaf trail back where,
We were young and had no care.
Tracing the circles that we made,
I don't wanna live a life in shade.
Will this be a desert or a beach,
Or a place to find the things we need.

Now you and I make up perfect things,
Watch me trade my wheels for wings.
But don't ever use those wings to fly
Just the essence of a lullaby
Now I am a giant grain of sand
But I may be slipping thru your hand
Follow my colour coded world
And watch be find another pearl

It's a sound that I love
And it came from above
These's the sound of the sea
Are you following me

Let's walk to the sound of distant shells
To a place where life would have no end
You'd be the mother of my pearls
If you follow me into my world
Back to a place where I'd be free
Where I'd love you and you'd love me
This is the colour of my world
Go watch me find another pearl

. . .



Just keep saying "body rap" till it hurts!!

. . .



You quiver like a candle on fire
I'm putting you out
Maybe tonight we could be the shout
But I'm fascinated by your style
Your beauty will last for a while

You're feeling instead of being
The more that I live on the inside
There's nothing to give
I'm infatuated by your moves
I've got to search hard for your clues

I want to repair your desire
And call it a gift
That I stole from just wanting to live
Now I see the vision thru your eyes
Your innocence no longer fuels surprise

Trying to outrun your fear
Running to lose
Heart on your sleeve and your sole in your shoes
Take a left,
A sharp left
And another left, meet me on the corner
And we'll start, again.

. . .



This Song will be here when you're old
This Song will heat you when you're cold
Believe you when I don't
This Song will heal from your soul

This Song will help you find a place to live
And teach you not to take but give
This Song will help you on your dying doubts
This Song song will send your lover flowers
Rest by this Song and the peace it brings
Beautiful song it has wings

. . .

Bewilderbeast

[No lyrics]

We laughed so much the we cried all night
And you left your shoes in the tree with me
Ill wear them to your house tonight
Magic in the air tonight

Yes, I might just try her
How she made me feel
Today, today, today, feels right

We slept on leaves on my drive all night
And you gave me no restime
Nothing in this life for me tonight
But nothing ever seemed so bright

And if you should lose me
You will track me down again
Before the summer ends
Cause love is contagious, when it's alright
Love is alright


. . .



Can I get close to ya
If only for a while
I don't need to busy you
You're the jive guru and
I want to sing along with you
With you
Your sweetness, would cause a rockslide
If only before the summertime
This could be our last goodbye
Please darling, please don't cry
Ohh, ohh

Feeling the same as I did
Feeling the same as I might do tomorrow
Watching my hopes follow dreams down the drain
I'm only joking of course yet again
As I do
Watching another day turn into night
There goes another month
Doesn't it frighten you so?


. . .



I've been pissing in the wind
I chance a foolish grin
And dribbled on my chin
And now the ground shifts beneath my feet
The faces that I greet never know my name

Just give me something
I'll take nothing
Just give me something
I'll take nothing

Now the drought is crippled by the rain
That hammers on my pain
We lose ourselves again
But all we need
Is to find a place to look
Our worm is on the hook
A love which dangles free
Lets watch it swim
Against the water's flow
In doubt the courage grows
With no guarantee

Just give me something
I'll take nothing
Just give me something
I'll take nothing

And so it goes
The moral to this tale
As tortoise catches the snail
A strong heart will prevail

It keeps on pumping
It still needs something
Just give it something
I'll take nothing
Just give me something
To keep it pumping
And I'll take nothing
Just give me something
Just give me something
And I'll take nothing


. . .

Blisted Heart

[No lyrics]

. . .



Seems you created your own illusion
Fuelled by an image of me
Well I couldn't stay at your side
It wouldn't be right
A picture that I just don't see
Why do you have to make it so complicated
Can't it just be beautiful
I don't want to stifle your flight
I didn't mean to fall in love

Always in pursuit of the perfect people
Oh and I can see that it shows
But there's just an innocence in you I wanna wring out
I know it could be beautiful

But I don't want a part of some situation
I don't want to be in that boat
I don't want to stifle your flight
I didn't mean to fall in love

Seems you created your own illusion
Fuelled by an image of me
Well I couldn't stay at your side
It wouldn't be right
A picture that I just don't see

. . .



You squeezed the life right out of me
Like sapping the juice of a bumblebee
And then you call me honey
You say it once and it isn't funny
When you say it again

And inside there's a style
Going on
A head full of dreams
Only room for one

Now I know you can live without me
And I have no doubt you will
Never doubt me
Like you did before

Were pumping our love
Into the sea
Full bodied
And bursting with energy

Cold blooded your engines are running
But where your going I'm not coming
Cause I'm happy here
Cause I'm happy here

Now we've found a rocksteady beat
Now all we need is a melody
And words that mean something or nothing
So people hear and can sing along until they

Say It Again

If there's trouble ahead
Don't go bothering me
With no future I live on memory
Dried of thought but my nose is runny
Say you want but I know I'm funny

Say it Again

. . .



Please don't leave me wanting more
I hope you never die
There's no need to say why
Just promise that you'll try
To give me all you can
I'll never ask for more
There's a new life thru the door
A cradle rocks and falls
Cements the melody
Our troubles passing

Through decaying, simple times
I'll tread on your tail with pride
C'est maintenant decide
I've nothing better

Please don't leave me wanting more
I hope you never die
There's no need to say why
Just promise that you'll try
