Stop The Sun 03:42
Amber circles stretch astonishing Silencing glassy water where we've never been Backwards Shining waves within each other spin No one sees them On the rocks the feeling's sinking in Reckless I wanna weep I wanna run I wanna stop the sun from setting oh, don't let it go Take this kiss I'm blowing through this dream Silently All alone you find out what it means Oh love I wanna weep I wanna run I wanna stop the sun from setting oh, don't let it go I wanna spin I wanna whirl I wanna stop the world from getting cold Don't let it go Baby, It's alright I will not forget We'll close it down We'll come back I will not forget I will not forget While I trace another full moon Moving us backwards Still the night If I could change this restless blindside longing, Wouldn't I? Oh I would I wanna weep I wanna run I wanna stop the sun from setting oh, don't let it go I wanna spin I wanna whirl I wanna stop the world from getting cold Don't let it go

Hold out for the day You beg me to stay How common of me Not to rise above And I try to deny This gauzy reverie Baby get lost Baby get lost Don't trust to forget The love that's mislaid I can't rely Perhaps I can't decide For this train never arrives And all of my lines have been stolen Baby get lost We're more than you could ever imagine Baby get lost Well force the earth and laugh as we crash in How gravid the moon On the cusp of the sea Buttering me up For all that isn't mine And how it petrifies Baby get lost We're more than you could ever imagine Baby get lost We'll force the earth and laugh as we crash in

I want you to understand You're under observation now You and your monkey gland I can't get involved You're knockin' on my pretty pink house Just like a wrecking ball Timing is everything You can't catch me with that string Timing is everything It's everything to me Wash up your face Parading around with that sauce Such a mad disgrace I can't get involved You're knockin on my pretty pink house And sugar may dissolve Timing is everything You can't catch me with that thing Timing is everything It's everything to me Think we're gonna need a rope A high powered telescope Wrap your legs around the radio Get ready for my solo Timing is everything You can't touch me with that thing Timing is everything It's everything O timing is everything You can't touch me with that thing Timing is everything It's everything It's everything It's everything To me

Angels starve until you're mine Stranded on the underside Angels starve until you're mine Take us two where hearts collide When night ate the day I thought I heard you say You wanted it all Terrify them all And if the sharpest arrow stings my eye I will not feel it If a million raindrops flood the sky I will not get wet Take us to a space in time Let us drown just to feel our own shine Angels crawl into my mind Get me drunk on dark sublime Angels crawl into my mind Keep me drunk on turpentine Wasted again On the zen of men If I should wake before I die Be sure I'm pacified And if the sharpest arrow stings my eye I will not feel it If a million raindrops flood the sky I will not get I will not get wet Take us to a space in time Let us drown just to feel our own shine Take us to a grace in time Let us drown just to feel our own shine

Chained, I was hoping you'd remain To this moment Where our hearts speak ages Not the cages moan Hey, I was hoping you would stay Long enough to try and fan the fire Shed your wire gown Golden rings just weigh you to the ground And it's not enough And it's not enough But I live for the touch Starved I was wishing I could carve My name into your heart of wood Dear, would it be clear now Wed to an image in my head Is it true that you could bring me closer To the dieing sun The next assault may be the lucky one And it's not enough And it's not enough But I live for the touch Plagued by a dream where I'm enslaved It's a void that's always left me wanting Sleeps in haunting fields Wait, tell me you belive in fate Could it be that we are getting closer to the only one Golden rings will always weigh a ton And it's not enough And it's not enough But I live for the touch It's not enough I live for the touch Live for the touch I live for the touch

In the hall lights flicker hum With her buckles still undone She hides beneath her blue trench coat Gaze so soft, yet so remote In that dusty uniform The outline of her lovely form And more than once I've brushed her hand Passing on the stairs In the hall lights flicker hum His dark lashes always hung With a look so weary and so wise When he passes he gentley sighs In his work-worn boots he leans And I wonder what it means Whatever does it mean Passing on the stairs Up the stairs every night Up the stairs seven flights And down she goes into the night Down my stairs and out of sight Who is she with that misty look Every night a different book With the scent of violets in her hair Who's this angel on my stairs A distant time comes back to me The wild reeds, the salty sea My father calling 'don't go far' I gathered sea glass in a jar And built a castle with a mote As the wind blew sand into my hair In the rustling of your over coat Passing on the stairs Up the stairs every night Up the stairs seven flights And down she goes into the night Down my stairs and out of sight And I wonder if she thinks of me Is it just a boyish fantasy Speak dear lady wont you speak Can't you tell you make me meek So in silence once more we pass Another night I walk on glass And I dream that she thinks of me Passing on the stairs And I wonder if he thinks of me If this could be our destiny Oh haven't you a word for me If only you'd misplace your key So in silence once more we pass Another night I walk on glass And how I dream he thinks of me And our passing on the stairs Up the stairs every night Up he climbs seven flights And down she goes into the night Down my stairs and out of sight Up the stairs every night Up the stairs seven flights And down she goes into the night Down my stairs and out of sight Down my stairs and out of sight

I've lost you once again But I can't lose heart To watch this dream descend Just tears me apart You close your eyes And you can't hear me Fast asleep in your bed of misery Baby get out of bed Don't close your eyes my sleepy head Don't close your eyes my sleepy head Look at all the shooting stars Billions of shooting stars Streak the sky Dazzling diamond light You're lost to me And you can't break free Wrapped in the gloom of ancient history Baby get out of bed Don't close your eyes my sleepy head Don't close your eyes my sleepy head Look at all the shooting stars Billions of shooting stars Streak the sky Dazzling diamond light Watch the night Gather shooting stars Baby throw off that cloud The bed of thorns that lay you down Quick like silver out of bounds Look at all the shooting stars Some of them could be ours Stream the sky Dazzling diamond light Wish I might On shimmering shooting stars Glimmering shooting stars Dimming Shooting stars

Well you're caught in the headlights Don't know which way to turn And you're going down quickly With my silencer I commandeer your heart And it's making you mad It's dissolving your cool resolve Though you haven't been had Don't you wish you were Tired of retiring in your mousetrap mind Don't you wish you were Making it through the moment When you were my kind Had a look at your soul And it caught you off guard And you can never take that back And it's making it hard Oh you wish you could hate me But it's not in your nature You'd rather debate me And to me that's absurd Don't you wish you were Tired of conspiring with your mousetrap mind Don't you wish you were Making it through the moment When you were my kind Don't you wish you were Drinking up all your doing So you could crawl right back Don't you wish you were Shrinking heads in the sunset You old sad sack Bite down man, be strong We're all impressed The way you hold your breath so long In time you'll turn blue Won't be the only one who's really seeing you Conspiring with your mousetrap mind Don't you wish you were Making it through the moment When you were my kind Don't you wish you were Drinking up all your doing So you could crawl right back Don't you wish you were Shrinking heads in the sunset You old sad sack Don't you wish you were Making it through The moment

Scratch 03:37
You You read my mind You twist me inside I'm weak at the knees Cuz you're such a tease You make me wanna scratch Rush the gate and shaking Then you hold me back You make me wanna scratch Vicious interference Playing hide and catch You live so exquisetly I love you You honed the dream Sculpted mystery Dead on the wire Of vacant desire You make me wanna scratch Rush the gate and shaking Then you hold me back You make me wanna scratch Vicious interference Playing hide and catch We're two stones rubbing our bones Gonna make fire Til the blood hounds fry I want mine You make me wanna scratch Vicious interference Baby down the hatch You make me wanna scratch Twisted inner vision Baby paint it black You make me wanna scratch Vicious interference Baby burn this thatch You make me wanna scratch Never leave me lying on the rail road tracks You make me wanna scratch Beaten to submission in this sparring match You make me wanna scratch Forget about resistance Baby call this match Burn this thatch Ball this snatch Itch this scratch

I'm alone at the docks Like the flotsam of ill seas I could float here for years And you still wouldn't know me So many dreams I used to dream Never mind that now All the days that could have been Never mind that now I'm outside Reel my line in for good What made me think You could love me All my chances are spent With no hope of belonging So many dreams I used to dream Never mind that now All the days that could have been Never mind that now I'm outside Watch 'em glide I'm left behind Lead feet dancing out of time I'm alone at the dunes There's a storm coming soon So many dreams I used to dream Never mind that now All the days that could have been Never mind that now Never mind that now Never mind that now (ch)

Narcosmicoma 05:41
The radio was calling you To taste the seed of light Between the rain You freed your brain Spun wheels on highway night Instant impact made you see And suddenly you became that tree Narcosmicoma let you in Into the whirlwind of blue floss imaginings Narcosmicoma let you in Beyond the margins Eclipsing the eternal rim Into the dreams that breathe your name You'll rest a little while Held deeper than the ocean miles We're all an only child Instant impact made you see And suddenly you became that tree Narcosmicoma let you in Into the whirlwind of blue floss imaginings Narcosmicoma let you in Beyond the margins Eclipsing the eternal rim
