V7 02:01
V7 You stab my heart and you stab my brain You make me run like a refugee There was safety by the sea But now it's just a war and oh that's sorry If you had it black and white Like a camera in the night If your really saw the funerals of the dusty light And all the Draculas with their fangs in their tongues I''ll remember to think of you as your America breaks down Direct my heart and your in my brain I get this feeling like atomic rays There was safety by the seas But now your just a war and that's sorry If you had it black and white Like a camera in the night If your really saw the funerals of the dusty light And all the Draculas with their fangs in their tongues I''ll remember to think of you as your America breaks down

Hide under your sheets and I'll be there soon To hang 100 crucifixes upside down in your room Dress you in flowers and put you away And paint on your walls a picture a day The first of the frost it's all in your hands And your stories and memories have all run dry Oh drink from my cup it will turn you around As I lead you to the old shallow ground Its there that I want you by the riverside It's there that I want you She cried up to Jesus she cried down to hell But the wind took her prayers her spirit and her smell The wind whistled east and the wind whistled west And swirled up the leaves round her cold screaming chest Its there that I want you by the riverside It's there that I want you My lady my lady you sank so low Now I must give you the black waters below My worship my worship I beat her red And in the cold wicked moonlight all the stars went dead Its there that I want you by the riverside It's there that I want you

The Followup 03:25
You feel so crazy and you feel so low It's like your dead on the streets below No one to signal and no where to roam You want a party out like you did the streets Up there like a big fat ten And all the flowers lay around your room Just say your sorry its not your way And in your heart and it burns and it burns and it burns but now its taking an arctic turn You go from door to door and it's always so safe You realize that it's all so cruel You find a match and try to to shine your shoes You feel so deadly in a public place You and analyze it and stay up for days You've been round these floors before On hands and knees looking under every door And when you strike it its just one more It always comes back to the rooftops strutter with the stars Looking down All over town And you feel so cheap You like it up there with your Arctic scream And all the sexuals by the ways kept it going till the sun caught blaze You've been up and down 1000 floors You've been through each and every door You've been to sea and adjust the stars You've been in and out so lets forget where you are You wake up like an animals in chains And you feel so cheap you wear your dreams tonight Wake up and then it makes no sense It's like it happened like an accident The flowers sour lay around the spoon I need a silent drug I need a silent truth

Tattoo on your shoulder getting great exposure of the gray eyed girls Drinking gin and wine dancing in a line with their ponytails Dress me up in leather get me as high as a feather and I'll say hello Pour some wine on my mind and I'm ready to go Until I come down In the great white taxi on the loop getting lost in the sound Take me home I need to lay my head down And just wait for the night to come around And just wait for the night to come around Ya ya ya Jimmy's in the back, kbs in the Saab Mickey's in the toilet banging on a star Zombie's in the lobby talking supersonic Calling all the flunkys to a Saturday hollow Burnsy's got my back you know he will attack We'll be dead in the morning but them we'll be right back Pour some wine on my mind and I'm ready to go Until I come down In the great white taxi on the loop getting lost in the sound Take me home I need to lay my head down And just wait for the night to come around And just wait for the night to come around Ya ya ya You got it, you got it, if you want it You can grab it, you can have it Close your eyes you won't wait awhile Just pour some wine on my mind and I'm ready to go

Feel your way home by the light of a phone March through weeds by the tracks By the sea, by the stacks It's there in their eyes So deep in the fires Of the stumbling skies Her refinery towers It's there in my brain Since the first taste of rain There on the road Only love gets you home It's there in their eyes So deep in the fires Of the stumbling skies Her refinery towers Monday morning takes The blood from the days And feeds me blood again In machinery, in the head It's there in their eyes So deep in the fires Of the stumbling skies Her refinery towers

From the city to the village To the cross to the fields I see you in lights everywhere I go From the deserts to the streets of Ohio In the winds of change you scream for oxygen And the World's gone crazy and you feel like a daisy In my arms I'm coming back again Takes me to the last time when we shared our souls Out in the grass beneath the wave of the doves Little one I'm a buckeye when I'm with you So tell me once about your hidden love You come easy there and I won't push and shove Just as long as your kind and true So let's go away to a place in the sun In the fields we are one You will never be alone In the dark I will stand with you So come on with me now You can act like a child Like two shiny baseballs your eyes say hello Sing along if your kind and and true Oh so far away amongst the universe decay Amongst the blackness of our days Amongst the lazy pouring rain You're all the ways as long as your our kind So shout shout shout and I'll be there You can wear my underwear Anytime anyplace even New York Square Oh I just want to stay Like the blueness in the sky From the city to the village To the cross to the fields I see you in lights everywhere I go From the deserts to the streets of Ohio In the winds of change you scream for oxygen And the World's gone crazy and you feel like a daisy In my arms I'm coming back again

Lost Sky 03:07
Stone me in the morning And stone me late at night Stone me like a window And leave me at first light It's in the sun we used to run We used to dream about tomorrow Now its all just a job Just a law, just a crawl But that's alright Cause you're here tonight Deep within the Lost Sky Your eyes just want to die And roll onto the table To free your prison skull It's in the sun we used to run We used to dream about tomorrow Now its all just a job Just a law, just a crawl But that's alright Cause you're here tonight Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah I feel the moon and the sky I want to drink all its light Into my brain into my veins Until I'm alive again It's in the sun we used to run We used to dream about tomorrow Now its all just a job Just a law, just a crawl But that's alright Cause you're here tonight Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah

You got rivers in your veins You got skies and aeroplanes You got flowers in your head And you got pretty words you said Cold company can weep weep weep Up this morning cause loves not cheap Out in the lanes out in the dark Out in the fires of a cold black heart Come over here if you have wings And I will sing you anything From the bottom of my brain To six strings on a wooden crate Cold company can weep weep weep Up this morning cause loves not cheap Out in the lanes out in the dark Out in the fires of a cold black heart The World's a joke and you know that Lets make some money in our hat Before the wind gets cold and dry I want to be alive when I die Cold cpmpany can weep weep weep Up this morning cause loves not cheap Out in the lanes out in the dark Out in the fires of a cold black heart Out in the fires of a cold black heart Out in the fires of a cold black heart

I love you like the oxygen I love you like a second skin I still don't know which way to go But I know I go with you I love you like the atmosphere You help the sky from disappearing I still don't know which way to go But I know I go with you I love you like the oxygen I love you like my own skin I still don't know which way to go But I know I go with you

Tropical 03:49
Blood don't know Why the cold wind blows At your door It wants your core You and I Live in a jar Fill it high With wine and love And if you feel like It's all gone astray Oh and you live in a kind of misery Go hang your head down low Go hang your head down low If you know Where the poor man toils And that the rich will dine on your spine If that old wind should answer me Tell me hell is where they'll be And if you feel like It's all gone astray Oh and you live in a kind of misery Go hang your head down low Go hang your head down low
