Oooh - just put your –
Pretty lips together and tell me
Where the hell you’ve been
Odds are – I won’t – get anything close to the truth –
But that’s alright - you’re so sweet
Babe - c’mon – lie to me
Oooh - it’s alright - I swear
Lie to me - C’mon babe you can do it
It’s all - old news anyway
Aww - just get your lines together
And whisper in my ear
What you’ve been dying to say
Oh – you’re – all I – ever wanted
All my life – was to touch someone – just like you
Babe – c’mon – lie to me
It’s alright – I swear
Lie to me – c’mon babe you can do it
It’s all - old news anyway
C’mon - I know you can do it – you’re so sweet –
when you lie to me
Lie to me
C’mon babe you can do it –
dammit you’re so sweet

I fell into you
Brawling
I was swollen, wild, and unfused -
And I crashed into you
Little is ever changeless – yet we remain the same –
The devil’s in the details – and he’s –
Calling out my name – again
Enthralling - something new – I fell into you
Little is ever changeless – yet we remain the same
Every time I turn around I’m whispering your name - again
And it’s you again - I keep falling in
Always you again –
Broken contacts and solar flares –
all the nights I spent without you there –
nothing compares –
it’s you again – and I keep falling in
and little is ever changeless – I hope we remain the same
every time I turn around

I
You
We
Two our longing
One
How
I think I need you to
Tie me up
Drown me in you
Lock me away
I wanna swim in you
This
Is
Now you know it too
Come on and shove
Me
Pull me under let’s continue
Tie me up
Drown me in you
Lock me away
I wanna swim in you
Be
Free
Express yourself raw on me
Dive
Deep
Take me with you I can’t sleep
Tie me up
Drown me in you
Lock me away
I wanna swim in you
Tie me
Up
Drown me in you I wanna swim in you
Own
Something deep down I need it bad and tie
Me
Up
Drown me in you I
Feel the need
I
I wanna swim you

Ghost
03:58

I was just about to call you –
When I heard your ghost left town
I was gonna let you know - I was up –
Now I’m back down – and I was –
Struggling for perspective - didn’t even know the time –
Did I close my eyes ? - did a ship pass by in the night?
I was almost there – I’d just – fallen behind
Holding onto things – that only kept me down
The only bridge back to that shady little town –
Burned down - And it’s gone now
I was just about to call you - from a hotel in Madrid
I fell into a hole in my head – with a bottle of wine –
And something you’d said –
Just how long ? - how long have I been gone?
Did a ship pass by in the night? - Did I close my eyes?
It feels like – I was almost there – I’d just – fallen behind
Holding onto things – it only kept me down-
The only bridge back to those highways made of sound –
Burned down – and it’s gone now
how long – have I been gone? I was almost there –
I’d just – fallen behind – reaching out for things –
that only kept me down –
the only bridge back to that cemetery town –
burned down

When the morning light – Comes through the blinds and –
Lays itself across my waking eyes – I – bury my head –
Back down – into the bed - and wait for night to come.
And I’ll stretch my mind there –
where I don’t see you everywhere
And - that’s why – I – haven’t been missing the sun –
since you’ve been gone
It holds me down – but I – still come around –
when it’s gone down
And it keeps me in – keeps me in - but I haven’t been –
missing The sun - since you’ve been gone
They’ll all say - hey that’s him over there –
in that corner chair –
Washed in the velvet neon - with that thousand yard stare
It holds me down – but I – still come around –
when it’s gone down
And it keeps me in – keeps me in - but I –
haven’t been - missing the sun
since you’ve been gone
it holds me down - and I - don’t come around -
until it goes down - and it keeps me in - but I -
haven’t been - missing the sun - since you’ve been gone .
holding me down

Saw You Fall

Lost in a land I created with my own hands
Charming – as it may be –
there’s still something inside my paw that stings
blown by the wind - into every trip – don’t say it’s not me
and don’t – say we’re down –
you just saw me fall – don’t say I’m down –
I’m just trippin’ all over you all
Went out and got a – new tattoo – got a new hairdo -
got a busted nose – got no place to go but don’t –
say we’re down – you just saw me fall don’t say I’m down –
I’m trippin’ all over you all – joking- stroking myself off –
Lying – but I’ve tried so hard to bring it across – its dying –
Any point of view that I once knew – the point is –
The point is I misplace the truth
Well now I’ve got a – broke down car –
got a brand new pair of shoes - got a – heart of stone –
I’ve got nothing left to loose but don’t – say we’re down –
You ain’t seen me crawl – don’t say I’m down –
I’m just trippin’ all over you all – joking –
stroking myself off – lying – but I’m trying so hard
to pull it all off – is it dying?
Any point of view that I once knew the point is – somewhere
I misplaced the truth –
down

Bitchin’ – crazy – suicidal – man
Cold eyes - and a red right hand
Might be the one – to make everything go bright
Sitting there alone – waiting in the dark
staring at the phone – one last drag – one more zone
one more night alone – stoned on chrome
and violence!
one more night alone – just another –
one more soldier won’t be going home
waiting
always grating shaken down – fucked around –
the missing pound – wrecked cuts – and shit burned down
waiting
I hate hesitating - slowing down – gotta cover ground
No place to rest now
One more night alone – stoned on chrome
And violence!
One more night alone – just another –
One more night this soul won’t be seeing home
Calling – calling – calling
Bitchin’ – crazy – suicidal – man

You’re alright – love
And I’m standing here because,
And I realize nothing’s free in this life
No - sailing out on
Seas of wasted time
Better get your head together
Move us down the line
I have belonged to you
You’ve always known this to be true
You say, walking backwards,
You I don’t deserve
But you’re just a little high strung –
And you’ll come all undone
I have – seen this pattern in the sky,
I’ve felt this wind before,
Someone’s giving all they’ve got
And someone still wants more
I have belonged to you
You’ve always known this to be true.
I will return again
You know you have become my oldest friend
You’re alright – love
And I’m standing here because
I’ve realized anything else is -
Just a waste of time.

Gentle Hands
04:03

I walk the straight and narrow
You choose to find your own road home
While I’ve been wasting my time standing in line
Waiting for a piece of what’s mine
Envy has driven me crazy and turned my
Once gentle hands
Into clubs now reprimand
My mind walks slowly through these kinds of things
Frustrated I’ve debated
Because things aren’t always what they seem
But I I’ve tried - how I’ve tried
to keep it all tucked away inside
I’m – feeling sick now – gotta let it go –
To you I turn my – once gentle hands
Into claws - I reprimand – the pain was always on my mind
My lover – all my anger – my temper boils over
My lover – my anger screams
I walked the streets and followed – with head down low
You poured indifference and I swallowed –
all that shit down slow – now - I’m full of all the pain
that’s just too hard to restrain – I’m - feeling sick now
gotta let it go – to you I turn my –
once gentle hands
hands that cradled – hands that loved you – hands that wanted
never to touch this way
