star 04:37
STAR STAR No man can find The cradle of his mind So make time for romance Make destiny from chance And whiskey from rye Religion when you die Ch. And know where this pain is coming from Carry these arrows sweet and strong So long my dear it seems unlikely that we will meet again We thought we were so different but we are just not the same I've seen you there In front of my mirror fair You know my soul It's what you cant control There was space to grow But no time to know Ch. We would here lie Our eyes to the sky We come we go When I'm gone I'll know That we are stardust But in life we lust Ch

lucid faint 03:27
LUCID FAINT You know he said You're living on borrowed time I know I said But right now I'm feeling fine You know I said I'm a dreamer don't you see All the things I ever wanted to say Have all been said for me Ch. I was laying in a lucid faint In the museum of complaint I hadn't met myself yet Didn't want to make a judgement In case I was wrong I've been drinking stars making drawings on the bus These are pictures of paintings ma'm Please don't make a fuss Ch I see myself in your eyes I'm not even surprised You've been looking at me for some time And I am hypnotised Ch

desire 04:35
DESIRE I was telling you something about yourself You put your head in your hands and said Boy hey boy tell me what you once said About a man from space on an earthly quest About that girl Living in a machine world In order to be free he had to teach her three words It wasn't that easy but One day she turned to him and said I love you Ch And furthermore, lee lee lie I want to lay down with you And he said hey oh hi I want to go home with you. I was thinking about wings of desire The angel looked down from the spire and said Girl hey girl on the trapeze I'm invisible but may I touch you please hey See now he bleeds, they watch Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, In colour. I can escape this monochrome This life immortal and alone Ch I was thinking about desire About the web we weave that catches fire And maybe they emerge one at a time These sublime fish on a line See now the idea Don't say that you came here For me I can look you in the eye no fear Pull you close whisper in your ear Ch

dream of you 02:52
DREAM OF YOU I had a dream of you It was one of those kind of dreams It was more real than your body on my sheets It was a conversation No words no lies no goodbyes You can't escape the memory It has followed form an old country It is an image A shape a landscape in my mind It's the twisted tale Of a generation oh They came here when they had nowhere to go It is a pattern That lies shattered beneath my skin You go away Never to return You learn what you can never unlearn It is a spiral That unwinds till the end of time

end of the trouble I know yes I know I must go Take a walk cross this floor To that door You've heard my side of the story Tell me when it's time to worry And I won't be troubling you anymore a Cause you right We've been wrong all along But now it's you not me I'm free There's a light at the end of tunnel I know it's not the end of the trouble But I can't keep my eyes closed anymore Tell me there's no time to go to war Ch I'm doing what I can to keep body and soul together my love Will you tell me why you chose to leave me alone my dove Carry me away I've read About the tears you've shed You've said there were years that you bled You tell me therein there's a lesson But I've read the book wherein it is written And I can't make sense of it anymore Will you tell me there's no time to go to war Ch

SACRED GROUND You know right from wrong Weak from strong That you belong Here You know all the people Under this steeple That they believe all The same thing Ch That it's no lie That when you die You'll look down from the sky On sacred ground To be sure You became a soldier Because you never got to hold her Staring out that door At a dead man's hill To be sure What you see out there Phantoms on your stair can be shared With someone I know Ch

watch you 03:58
WATCH YOU I'm going to watch you now You came to my table with a bottle for none Served a plate of hour then you pulled a gun You've got a motherfuckin cheek In the space of a week You praised the mighty and killed the weak I'm going to watch you now All the disciples who kept the faith You put them a boat pushed them out on a lake But they can walk on water get to the border Sons of guns they're gonna bring you low I'm going to watch you now I saw you once in a black limousine Headed to the airport you were fleeing They'd got your number come to plunder Take you down tear you asunder I'm gonna watch you now

shadows 04:12
SHADOWS Shadows shadows on the wall Tell me a story I don't know at all Firelight dances in the night Your shadow play on the wall My love my love on this night Under the the stars and in plain sight Tell me you love me all over again Tell me my love who you like Come wind come wind we must fly Across the sea where together we can be The lights of love will be our shades my dove So come wind come wind we must fly

slowman 04:41
SLOWMAN Last time I saw Rene he was here to stay He told me a story about a land far away No sun in the day There was a darkness and a blackness That came from the deep Not yours to keep If you are a poor man or a slowman Ch. You got to slow down here today There's a lawman on the way The sun aint gonna shine on this caribou Money don't mean nothing if it aint meant for you Last time I saw Rene He said there'd be hell to pay I'd been running with a false friend and he would seize the day He would have his say About what I can do and I cant do There's a change by the way Of the rules in play If you are a poor man or a slowman Ch.

wrongman 05:00
WRONGMAN You've got the wrong man at the wrong time You've got the wrong man baby at this party So you want to start a flight over troubled water Just give me time to find our daughter You've got got the wrong man at the wrong time So get down You've got the wrong side of the wrong town You've got the wrong side baby of the wrong town So you've found bullets flying across the river Cold nights that make you shiver You've got the wrong side baby of the wrong town So get down I'm trying to understand what's going down I never knew then what I know now Do you remember how we never spoke to each other You went away to live with another You took a new man baby you took a new man So get down

jealous moon 04:49
JEALOUS MOON I saw the light on in your bedroom I was standing under a jealous moon It's so hard to understand Where you start and I end Ch. I heard you say live and let live But I know now something has to give I hear you say bend don't break But I don't know how much more I can take You move like a shadow in my image to come I see the flickering light of a premonition It's so hard to understand Where you start and I end Ch. So take your light and shine on Cause the darkness here is coming on strong
