Twilight To Starlight
Where Boys Fear To Tread
Candy cane walks down
To build a bonfire, to break my fall
My baby, my sweet thing
Just maybe we could lose ourselves this time
King of the horseflies, dark prince of death
His tragic forces are heaven sent
In sweet things, in a lovers breath
In knowing this was meant to be the last
A go-go kids, a go-go style
A suck suck kiss, a suck suck smile
As always, in young need
A veiled promise to never die
On dead highways, her black beauties roam
For June angels, so far from home
For a love lost, a faded picture
To tread lightning, to ink the lavender skies
Get on, get on, get on the bomb
Get back, get back where you belong
Get on, get on, get on the bomb
Get back, get back where you belong
Get on, get on, get on the bomb
Get back, get back where you belong
Get on the bomb
Bodies
Cast the pearls aside, live of a simple life of need
Come into my life forever
The crumbled cities stand as known
Of the sights you have been shown
Of the hurt you call your own
You know, you know
Love is suicide
Love is suicide
Love is suicide
Love is suicide
The empty bodies stand at rest
Casualties of their own flesh
Afflicted by their dispossession
But no bodies ever knew
Nobody's
No bodies felt like you
No bodies
Love is suicide
Love is suicide
Love is suicide
Love is home
Now we drive the night, to the ironies of peace
You can't help deny forever
The tragedies reside in you
The secret sights hide in you
The lonely nights divide you in two
In two, in two
All my blisters now revealed
In the darkness of my dreams
In the spaces in between us
But no bodies ever knew
Nobody's
No bodies felt like you
No bodies
But no bodies ever knew
Nobody's
No bodies felt like you
No bodies
Love is suicide
Love is suicide
Love is suicide
Love is suicide
Thirty Three
Speak to me in a language I can hear
Humour me before I have to go
Deep in thought I forgive everyone
As the cluttered streets greet me once again
I know I can't be late, supper's waiting for me on the table
Tomorrow's just an excuse away
So I pull up my collar and face the cold, on my own
The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
At the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
Steeple guide me to my heart and home
The sun is out and up and down again
I know I'll make it, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you
And for a moment, I lose myself
Wrapped up in my pleasures of the world
I've journeyed here and there and back again
But in the same old haunts, I still find my friends
Mysteries not ready to reveal
Sympathies I'm ready to return
I'll make the effort, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
Tomorrow's just an excuse
Tomorrow's just an excuse
And you can make it last, forever
You can make it last, forever you
Forever you
In The Arms Of Sleep
Sleep will not come to this tired body now
Peace will not come to this lonely heart
There are some things I'll live without
But I want you to know that I need you right now
I need you tonight
I steal a kiss from her sleeping shadow moves
Cause I'll always miss her wherever she goes
And I'll always need her more than she could ever need me
I need someone to ease my mind
But sometimes a someone is so hard to find
And I'll do anything to keep her here tonight
And I'll say anything to make her feel alright
And I'll be anything to keep her here tonight
Cause I want you to stay, with me
I need you tonight
She comes to me like an angel out of time
As I play the part of a saint on my knees
There are some things I'll live without
But I want you to know that I need you right now
Suffer my desire
Suffer my desire
Suffer my desire for you
Suffer my desire
Suffer my desire
Suffer my desire for you
For you, for you
1979
Shakedown 1979, cool kids never had the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the head lights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
Double cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slippin' dues down to see
That we don't even care as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made, I know you better than you fake it
To see that we don't care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of sound
As you can see there's no one around
Tales Of A Scorched Earth
Farewell goodnight last one out turn out the lights
And let me be, let me die inside
Let me know the way through of this world of hate in you
Cause the dye is cast, and the bitch is back
And we're all dead yeah we're all dead
Inside the future of a shattered past
Yeah yeah
I'd lie just to be real, I'd die just to feel
Why do the same old things keep on happening?
Because beyond my hopes there are no feelings (yeah)
Bless the martyrs and kiss the kids
For knowing better, for knowing this
Cause you're all whores and I'm a fag
And I've got no mother, I've got no dad
To save me the wasted, to save me from myself
Yeah yeah
I'd lie just to be real, I'd die just to feel
Why do the same old things keep on happening?
Because beyond my hopes there are no feelings (yeah)
Everyone's lost just waiting to be found
Everyone's a thought just waiting to fade
So fuck it all cause I don't care
So what somehow somewhere we dared
To try to dare to dare for a little more
Yeah, yeah
I'd lie just to be real, I'd die just to feel
Why do the same old things keep on happening?
Because beyond my hopes there are no reasons (yeah)
Thru The Eyes Of Rudy
Wrap me up in always, and drag me in with maybes
Your innocence is treasure, your innocence is death
Your innocence is all I have
Breathing underwater, and living under glass
And if you spin your love around
The secrets of your dreams
you may find your love is gone
And is not quite what it seemed
To appear to disappear
Beneath all your darkest fears
I believe in never, I believe in all the way
But belief is not to notice, belief is just some faith
And faith can't help you escape
And with this ring I wed thee true
And with this ring I wed thee now
And with this ring I play so dead
But no one's asking for the truth, so let me tell you
And if you spin your love around
The secrets of your dreams
You may find your love is gone
And is not quite what it seemed
To appear to disappear
Beneath all your darkest fears
To the revelations of fresh faced youth
No one will come to save you
So speak your peace in the murmurs drawn
But youth is wasted on the young
Your strength is my weakness, your weakness my hate
My love for you just can't explain
Why we're forever frozen, forever beautiful,
Forever lost inside ourselves
The night has come to hold us young
The night has come to hold us young
The night has come to hold us young
The night has come to hold us young
The night has come to hold us young
The night has come to hold us young
Stumbleine
Boredom's in the bathroom shaking out the loose teeth
Sally's in the stirrup's claiming her destiny
And nobody nowhere understands anything
About me and all my dreams
Lost at sea
Jack it up Judy set your heart alight
Mayfair mistress of the satellites
Misspent youth-faking up a rampage
To hold off the real slaves
Paid off and staid
And what you never knew
Can never get to you
So fake it
I'll be your Stumbleine
I'll be your super queen
And make you
Jukebox fuckup hanging round the drugstore
No matter what you say, he'll be back for more
Mommy's in the manger with the little kids
She's got her reasons, got my forgets
Of tears and idle threats
Misplaced them
And no matter what they do
They can't get to you
So fake it
I'll be your Stumbleine
I'll be your super queen
And make you me
Come around Ruby I could never sleep alone
X.Y.U.
She didn't wanna be, she didn't wanna know
She couldn't run away cause she was crazy
She gave it all away, she saw her baby break
And in the air it hung that she was dull razors
And I said, I wanna fill you up,
I wanna break you, I wanna give you up
From one another, another one should come to one another
No one should come between us
Still I was lonely, and she was by my side, my one and only
Knows that she could never hide
I couldn't feel her, and it was just a game,
Cause I was lonely and she was crazy
Rat-tat-tat, ka-boom-boom, now take that, and just a bit of this
Cause I'm a watcher, and I'm a doer of none
Come to save you, cause you're all mine
I hurt where I can't feel, I feel where I can't hurt
I know where I can't know, I bleed for me and mine
Ka-boom, a rat-tat-tat, and some good old
Cause I'm a sister, and I'm a motherfuck
I am made of shamrocks, I am made of stern stuff
I am never enough, I am the forgotten child
And I said, I wanna fill you up,
I wanna break you, I wanna give you up
From one another, another one should ever come
In between us, between us and our love
Mary had a little lamb, her face was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went, I was sure to go
Now Mary's got a problem, and Mary's not a stupid girl
Mary's got some deep shit, and Mary does not forget
And this is how Mary's garden grows,
And this is how Mary has her ghosts
And into the eyes of a jackyl I say
ka-boom!!
Now we begin descent, to where we've never been
There is no going back, this wasn't meant to be
This is a hell on earth, we are meant to serve
And she will never learn
she will never learn
Bye bye, baby goodbye
Bye bye
We Only Come Out At Night
We only come out at night
We only come out at night
The days are much too bright
We only come out at night
And once again, you'll pretend to know me well,
My friends
And once again, I'll pretend to know the way
Thru the empty space
Thru the secret places of the heart
We only come out at night
We only come out at night
The days are much too bright
We only come out at night
I walk alone, I walk alone to find the way home
I'm on my own, I'm on my own to see the ways
That I can't help the days, you will make it home OK
I know you can, and you can
We only come out at night
We only come out at night
The days are much too bright
We only come out at night
And once again, now, you'll pretend to know that
There's an end, that there's an end to this begin
It will help you sleep at night
It will make it seem that right is always right
Alright?
We only come out at night
We only come out at night
The days are much too bright
We only come out at night
Beautiful
Beautiful, you're beautiful, as beautiful as the sun
Wonderful, you're wonderful, as wonderful as they come
And I can't help but feel attached
To the feelings I can't even match
With my face pressed up to the glass, wanting you
Beautiful, you're beautiful, as beautiful as the sky
Wonderful, it's wonderful, to know that you're just like I
And I'm sure you know me well, as I'm sure you don't
But you just can't tell
Who'll you love and who you won't
No no
Who'll you love and who you won't
I love you, as you love me
So let the clouds roll by your face
We'll let the world spin on up to another place
We'll climb the tallest tree above it all
To look down on you and me and them
And I'm sure you know me well, as I'm sure you don't
But you just can't tell, who'll you love and who you won't
No no
Who'll you love and who you won't
No no
Who'll you love and who you won't
No no
Don't let your life wrap up around you
Don't forget to call, whenever
I'll be here just waiting for you
I'll be under your stars forever
Neither here nor there just right beside you
I'll be under your stairs forever
Neither here nor there just right beside you
Lily (My One And Only)
Lily, my one and only
I can hardly wait till I see her
Silly, I know I'm silly
Cause I'm hanging in this tree
In the hopes that she will catch a glimpse of me
And thru her window shade
I watch her shadow move
I wonder if she...
Lily, my one and only
Love is in my heart and in your eyes
Will she or won't she want him
No one knows for sure
But an officer is knocking at my door
And thru her window shade
I watch her shadow move
I wonder if she could only see me?
And when I'm with her I feel fine fine
Fine fine fine fine
If I could kiss her I wouldn't mind the time it took to find
My Lily, my one and only
I can hardly wait till I see her
Oh Lily, I know you love me
Cause as they're draggin' me away
I swear I saw her raise her hand and wave (goodbye)
By Starlight
By starlight I'll kiss you
And promise to be your one and only
I'll make you feel happy
And leave you to be lost in mine
And where will we go, what will we do?
Soon said I, will know
And are you just like me?
Dead eyes, dead eyes are you just like me?
Her eyes, her eyes were as vacant as the seas
Dead eyes, dead eyes are you just like me?
And all along, we knew we'd carry on
Just to belong
By starlight I know you
As lovely as a wish granted true
My life has been empty, my life has been untrue
And does she really know, who I really am?
Does she really know me at last
And are you just like me
Dead eyes, dead eyes are you just like me?
Here eyes, her eyes were as vacant as the sea
Dead eyes, dead eyes are you just like me?
And are you just like me?
And are you just like me?
And are you just like me?
Farewell & Goodnight
Goodnight, to every little hour that you sleep tight
May it hold you through the winter of a long night
And keep you from the loneliness of yourself
Heart strung is your heart frayed and empty
Cause it's hard luck, when no one understands your love
It's unsung, and I say
Goodnight, my love, to every hour in every day
Goodnight, always, to all that's pure that's in your heart
Goodnight, may your dreams be so happy and your
Head light with the wishes of a sandman and a night light
Be careful not to let the bedbugs
Sleep tight nestled in your covers
The sun shines but I don't
A silver rain will wash away
The sun shines but I don't
A silver rain will wash away
And you can tell, it's just as well
And you can tell, it's just as well
Goodnight, my love, to every hour in every day
Goodnight, always, to all that's pure that's in your heart
