Xiu Xiu Album

it was all that i wanted from you
so i could tell them
that we did it
that it was like love

all that i wish of devotion
a little shattering lovelife
made up daring myself to stay

a little wish for this time of night
a little shattering headache
made up daring myself to stay

Excuse me
Is it true what they say?
About guys who go out by themselves?
Is is true that they go home by themselves?
You've seen me dance here alone before
Is it tough to watch
Friday after Friday?

If I was more like you
More soft
More pale
We could take drugs together
Hand in hand
Like father and son
I could live with you
Ten-thousand-times-a-minute

Give up...

angel wear your 'pray hard' shirt
angel your daughter
the circle of your line

Oh Angelina in a different life
Oh Angelina in a sickle cell
Oh Angelina in a different time

No one can touch you
No one can touch you

Angel, so faithful
The dead will bury their own dead
Angel
exodus

Remember all the time

Oh Angelina in a different life
Oh Angelina in a sickel cell
Oh Angelina in a different time
No one can touch you
No one can touch you

This is why events unnerve me
They find it all, a different story
Notice whom for wheels are turning
Turn again and turn towards this time
All she ask's the strength to hold me
Then again the same old story
Word will travel, oh so quickly
Travel first and lean towards this time

Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time
Watching her, these things she said
The times she cried
Too frail to wake this time

Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time
Avenues all lined with trees
Picture me and then you start watching
Watching forever, forever
Watching love grow, forever
Letting me know, forever
