Stone blind alibi
I will eat the lie
Find the word
Could break any spell that binds you
Prayers like ammonites
Curl beneath the lights
How i long to
Bite every hand that feeds you more
Where d'it all go wrong
My friday night enfant
Where d'it all go wrong
My friday night enfant

All night busz on a line
It's only blood on the rime
Wrecks my head every time
It leads me on
Where d'it all go wrong
My friday night enfant
Where d'it all go wrong
My friday night enfant

Tonight tonight
Tonight i'm running wild i'm running
Tonight i'm running wild i'm running
Tonight i'm running wild i'm running
Tonight i'm running wild i'm running
Tonight i'm running wild

. . .



Gonna close my eyes
Gonna watch you go
Running through this life, darling
Like a field of snow

As the tracer glides
And its graceful arc
Send a little prayer up to you
'Cross the falling dark

Tell the repo man
And the stars above
That you're the one I love

Perfect summer's night
Not a wind or breeze
Just the bullets whispering gentle
Amongst the new green leaves

These things I might have said
Only wish I could
Now I'm leaking life faster than I'm leaking blood

Tell the repo man
And the stars above
That you're the one I love

Don't see elysium
Don't see no fiery hell
Just the lights all bright, baby, in the big hotel

Next wave coming in
Like an ocean rock
Won't you take my hand, darling, on that old dance floor

We can twist and shout
Do the turtle dove
And you're the one I love

. . .



If the sky weren't lit, had to find my place
I would see your face in the door
If the sun would glint on the time we spent
All the time that ain't no more
Chase the broken hearts in the vacant lots
See that fruit that rots on the tree
Try to turn my head, leave it all for dead
But it's in my mind always

Honey, Lately, I've been weighed down
Load on my mind
Honey Lately I've been weighed down
Load on my mind

Someone tell me, where did it go?
Darlin', I'm damned if I know
I seen that look in your eye
No one ever gave it a chance
I could've seen in advance
You saw it all in a glance

And Goodbye, Goodbye.

Take a salty kiss from this cup of bliss
Watching new light twist on the bridge
Try to paint it red
Leave it all for dead
But it's in my mind always

Honey, Lately, I've been weighed down
Load on my mind
Honey Lately I've been weighed down
Load on my mind

Someone tell me, where did it go?
Darlin', I'm damned if I know
I seen that look in your eye
No one ever gave it a chance
I could've seen in advance
You saw it all in a glance
And Goodbye, Goodbye.

. . .


One lifetime is long enough
Is long enough to wait
The rain like silver in my ears
Fat nothing on my plate
A bucketful of Babylon
A belly full of hate
Go to sleep my one true love
And may your dreams be sweet

Then we'll be running

See its face beneath the glass
It murmurs on the breeze
Like a long black Cadillac
It passes ‘neath the trees
What is it you're waiting for?
Sweet love is on its knees
Go to sleep my one true love
And find your heart's release

Then we'll be running
Afraid of nothing
Yeah we'll be running

Silence is golden
Here I am
I ain't afraid of nothing
Silence is golden
Here I am

The sun above the cotton grass
Is sinking down like lead
The seagulls know the truth of it
And scream it overhead
Hold on to St. Christopher
The sky is murderous red
Go to sleep my one true love
Our glory lies ahead

Then we'll be running
Afraid of nothing
Then we'll be running

All wired up in a dawning ray
All wired up in a dawning ray
All wired up in a dawning ray
All wired up in a dawning ray

. . .


While I was watching you did a slow dissolve
While I was watching you did a slow dissolve
While I was watching you did a slow dissolve

Did I imagine or do the walls have eyes
Did I imagine they held us hypnotized
Did I imagine or do the walls have eyes

Life in slow motion somehow it don't feel real
Life in slow motion somehow it don't feel real
Life in slow motion somehow it don't feel real
Snowflakes are falling I'll catch them in my hands
Snowflakes are falling I'll catch them in my hands
Snowflakes are falling now you're my long lost friend

. . .



Come the weekend
We'll be long gone, baby
Just like the old days
Letting the world flow through me

Just a parasite in the line
I'm smoking, killing the time
I lost a piece of twine
What use is sympathy?

From here you can almost see the sea

If you would hold still
Make a clean incision
And we can sit back and watch the demolition
Little puppy dog in a box
Somebody's picking the locks
It's wandered down from the socks
Here comes the cavalry

From here you can almost see the sea

Just another fool in the line
Just a parasite in the line

I dream of high clouds
Flush with the light of daybreak
I'm gonna dive in
To waters so cold it makes your bones ache
Fingers, knees, and knuckles scraped
Our love a rubbish heap
The piece of cardboard taped up where the bedroom windowpane used to be

From here you can almost see the sea.

Just another fool in the line
Just a parasite in the line

I saw a film once
Where all the air holes froze up
A killer whale swam
Under the blue ice to the hard sky

. . .



Maybe that it would do me good if I believed there were a god out in the starry
filament.
As it is it's just a lie and I married up in the boredom on an island of cement
Give me your ecstasy I feel it open window and ill steal it baby like its heaven
sent
This ain't no love that's guiding me
Some day's I'm bursting at the seams with all my oft-remembered dreams then it
shoots me down again
Feel the dampness as it creeps I hear you coughing in your sleep beneath the
broken window pane
Tomorrow girl I'll buy you chips lollipops to stain your lips and it will all be
right as rain
This ain't no love that's guiding me
This ain't no love that's guiding me
No way that ain't no love guiding me
No way ain't no love guiding me
No way no love guiding me
This ain't no love that's guiding me
This ain't no love that's guiding me
On winded trees the fruit of rain is hanging trembling in the branches like a
thousand diamond bugs
Waiting there on every pause that old familiar feel that clause that tells you
nothing ain't no good
Pulling back you see it all down here so laughable and small how you quiver in
the dirt
This ain't no love its guiding me

. . .


Just a little something for the pain
Hospital food getting you down?
Honey now I'm not one to complain
But this hangin' around
Is wearing me out

So patch me up boys take me home
Are you not hearing a word I say?
She sounds so different on the phone
I just sink like a stone
Back to the bay

Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already know
Tell me something
Tell me something I don't know

Don't seem to have that much to show
For all the hard work, the sweat and toil
You say ‘well that's right', and you should know
You've been there before
You've basked in the glow
You've stood in the roar
You've tasted the snow

Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already know
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already

Seeing it all so beautiful
The way it oughta be
Seeing it all so beautiful
And turning away
Turning away
Turning away

Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already know
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already know

. . .


You're in my mind baby
Now and always
You're in my mind baby
Now and always
The road I'm walking
Might fall away
You're in my mind baby
Now and always

A bonfire smoking
Into a low sky
The sparks they fly up
Into a low sky
Would that these demons
Would let me rest
They're with me lord
Till the day that I die

Feast my eyes on sacred lies

Ill wind that blows
From all directions
Ill wind that blows in
From all directions
Hey easy boy giving it all away
And nothing left
For your own protection

You're in my mind baby
Now and always
You're in my mind baby
Now and always
The ground I'm walking
Might fall away
You're in my mind baby
Now and always

Feast my eyes on sacred lies

The swans are ghosts
On the jet black water
The swans like ghosts
On the jet black water
Hey little baby
I'll hold you close
We'll glide like ghosts
On the starry water

Tthe dogs are running wild
The dogs are running wild
The dogs are running wild
The dogs are running
Dogs are running wild

. . .



Slowly the truth is loading
Im weighted down with love
Snow lying deep and even
Strung out and dreaming of
Night falling on the city
Quite something to behold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world

Threading hope like fire
Down through the desperate blood
Down through the trailing wire
Into the leafless world
Night falling on the city
Quite something to behold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world

Ill be sticking right down with it
Ill be by your side
Sailing like a silver bullet...(dont know)
Though the smoke and rising water
Cross the great divide
Aiming till it opens up

Night falling on the city
Sparkling red and gold
Girl don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world
This disappearing world
This disappearing world
This disappearing world
