The Twilight Singers Album

Black out the windows
It's party time
You know how I love stormy weather
So let's all play suicide

The crowd wants you bleeding
The eyes from your head
Get off your knees
You'll be fine

How wide? How deep the river?
Black as dark as night
How long? How far?
I'll know when I get to the other side

Whatever it is you've stolen
I'll recognise, I'll sympathise
I reckon that I've seen it all
And start falling

I breathe in, unchain myself
Tonight's the night
No wind, rain, conversation
Brings me back alive tonight

How wide? How deep the river?
Black as night

Black out the windows
It's party time
I see a light
That I recognise

Come little lately get your shine on
Meet me at the gate
There's nowhere to go
I can't be late

I feel cool, alive
Aware that I'm sinking
The firmament is swallowing me whole
And I'm on a roll again

Come little lately get your shine on
Kiss my pretty face
And let me bleed a while
The people want a taste, so taste me

I feel cool, I get around
My blood they want to steal it
A lonely boy will stand when others crawl
And I can feel them coming at me

Esta noche
All the lights will breathe the same air
As I behold the view

Come little lately get your shine on
Step out of the shade
And let me breathe a while
For god has come to play, so play me

The air, the night
My blood you're going to feel it
The everlasting love has turned to snow
And I want to feel it all over

Never, no one
I wait ever
I feel this light
But I conceal
No one complete
This mess, replete
Perfumed in mud
Christened by a wave
A wave
A wave
This is never lasting love

You say you want to go there, ride then
I did and I loved it
Say you don't want to be here, leave then
Time comes to get gone
Say good morning to another set of creature
My dear, I'm gone

She said, she said
You want to go for a ride?
I got sixteen hours to burn
And I'm going to stay up all night, all night, all night

Tell your mama fever come back again
Look what you started
And break it easy to your boyfriend

She said, she said, she said
You want to go for a ride?
I got thirteen hours to burn
And I'm going to stay up all night, all night, all night

She said, she said
You want to go for a ride?
I got no more money to burn
And I'm going to stay up all night, all night, all night
All night, all night, all night
All night, all night, all night

Hey there, boy
So good to see you again
I heard your woman left you
I heard you quit your band

How you on money?
You still feeding that Jones?
Man, you don't look like you used to
My god, you look like a ghost

There's a riot going on
Inside of me
Won't you come inside
See what I see?

Them boys was drinking
Goddamn I got me a gun
We going capping later on
Don't that sound like fun?

I know how to get my way
To make you love me, enchante

Now they love you
When you're alone
Let's call Jackie
See if he ain't home

Baby, I'm all right
Playing tricks with the light

They love me down in Texas
My home while I'm away
God knows I got my reasons
For every mutherfucking thing I say

Every time you go away
Take me down
I have gone astray
Take me down

That's right

I think we're lost, don't worry
I've been here before
I'm sure I thought I knew the way
Out of here yesterday
Dove cuesto mi dolce?
Your driver called, it's time to go
Your driver's waiting for you

And I caught a fever
A holy fire
Till I was crawling
On the ceiling
Come out of your hole
I know you know
You know I know
I want to go

Such a pretty thing I've never seen
Someone so perfectly deceive
I loved her smile
And her beguiling way with me
She smelled exciting, I wanted some
Your driver's gone, like everybody

And that's why I need you
To catch on fire
I want you to burn me
Till I feel it
I know you know
Which way to go
I want you to show me
So I can steal it
Where should we go?
Where should we go?
I know you know
That I'm going to need it
I know you know
Which way to go
I know you know
I want to go

Down around the corner
Lives a naughty little girl
Who clicks her tongue
I love the way she talk
She pay no attention
Knows I'm one of them sad boys
Who's hypnotised by girls who walk the walk

I'm no good and I like it
And the end is coming soon
Above the lion
Is hungry for the dark side of the [moon]

Decatur
The complicator
I want a little more
The saviour
Of misbehaviour
It's all right
Circle tight
Say goodnight
Hit the town, yeah
Hit the town

Up high the sky
Is dark and wide tonight
It looks like it's going to fall
Are you all alone
Or shall I squire you home?
Or would you rather see me crawl?

I know what I had
And I know what I got
Maybe my soul
Is like a vacant lot, shot

Baby
It's complicated
Though I'll never know
A favour to run away
You want to party?
You want to party?
You want to?

Do you? Do you?
Do you want to roll with me?
Do you? Do you?
Do you want to roll with me?

'Cause I'm juvenile, impractical
And I'll make you cry, hysterical

You want to ride?
Ain't nothing free
See something you like
You got to pay me

You got to pay me
Sugar, got to pay me
You got to pay me or play me
Girl, you got to pay me now
Pay me now
Pay me now
Pay me later
You're going to pay me, girl
Pay me now
Pay me now
You'll pay me later
You'll pay me later
You're going to pay me, girl
You're going to
You're going to
You're going to pay me, girl

Bye, bye, butterfly
I get a little out of control
You mind your mama
Else she going to swallow you whole
Infect me, protect me
She going to resurrect me I know

'Cause, baby, I'm living from dime to dime
If down is up I think I'll be doing all right tonight

And I roll
And it feels good around
I got sold
For nothing as it seems
Infect me, protect me
She going to resurrect me I know, I know

Bye, bye, butterfly
I get a little out of control
'Cause when the moon done get snuffed out
On your knees you're going to see the sun cut down
Neglect me, select me
She going to disconnect me I know, I know, baby

And I roll
And it feels good around
I got sold
For nothing as it seems
Neglect me, select me
She going to resurrect me

And I roll
And it feels good around
I got sold
For nothing as it seems
Infect me, protect me
She going to resurrect me I know, I know
I know, I know
I know, I know
I know, I know, baby
I know

Get the wheel
Let's go for a ride
If you're trouble
Then I'll follow you down

Last night
I saw the strangest light
I want to see it again

I'm wide awake
Somebody put a gun in my face
Go ahead, I said erase

Get the wheel
Let's go for a ride
If you're trouble
Then I'll follow you down

Last night
Last night was all right
I want to see you again

Wherever you're going
I know you knew
That nobody cuts me
Quite like you do

And I'm going to crawl
Not that it matters
Nobody bleeds the way I do

Wherever you've gone
I can follow
The path of destruction
You leave like crumbs

And I'm going to crawl
I'm going to scratch and claw
Though I am broken, I still bleed
Whoever said?
No wind, no rain, no conversation
Can bring me back alive

I got it bad and I won't sleep
Until I breathe the sweet perfume you love

You're going to crawl, my precious
I'm untethered
Waving in the wind like feathers
Feel you near me, disappearing
If you take, you better kill me
Break me, steal me
If you don't kill me
I'm going to crawl till you crawl
Crawl like them all, my precious
I'm untethered
Waving in the wind like feathers
Crawl, my love
Crawl

I must have been near, unclear
It's dark as hell and hot in here
But I'm ready for the stroll
So release me so I can find
The couple comes over, I fear
That they'll lead me to the garden
Where anything I want is close
Everything I wanted most

Nathan runs a little river
Cathy gets high
Joey got arrested when he messed up
Round about sixteen times
Why you take from a giver?
Why you got to get high?
Why you watch a car wreck, mutherfucker
'Cause it looks fun to die?

To die
To die
To die

The ship it listed and things got twisted
Bow down and get yourself lifted
Party at the mansion, you all
Party on the day before the fall
You all better listen
Don't question my volition
The hard way, the easy way
The only way, the lonely way

Nathan runs a little river
Cathy gets high
Joey got arrested when he messed up
Round about sixteen times
Why you take from a giver?
Why you got to get high?
Why you watch a car wreck, muthafucker
'Cause it looks fun to die?

To die
To die
Is to fly

That's why Cathy gets high
That's why Cathy gets high

Save yourself, you little sinner
Path it up right
Take the road less travelled
Make sure you keep that shit all tight

Save yourself, you little sinner
Path it up right
Take the road less travelled
Make sure you keep that shit all tight

All tight
All tight
All tight
All tight

Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight

Devil, sweet talking fly on the wall
Blackberry belle of the ball
Just like you told me I'm going to crawl

You trouble me and I ain't myself any more
I'm crawling around like a whore
And you love me there on the floor

Now come on, boy
Don't be such a baby
And maybe I'll bail you out
One more time
You got number nine
Staring at you
Get back, boy
Or I'll make you blind

You fucker, this here's where we settle up
One last sweet drink from you cup
Hand it over, slowly, I'm gone

Now come on, boy
Don't be such a baby
And maybe I'll sell you out
One more time
You at the foot of the master
I'm faster
But I'm going to take my time
And I'm going to make you blind
I'm going to make you blind
I'm going to make you blind
And I'm going to make you blind

Devil, sweet talking fly on the wall
Blackberry belle of the ball
Just like you told me I'm going to crawl
I'm going to make you blind
