Evangeline. She's on her own. Just barely seventeen. When she left home. Don't know where she's been. Or where she's going. She is the queen of make-believe.
Open eyes tell the truth. What you planned to see was different. What you thought, what you knew. Or what you though you knew about me. . The distance gets real and it scars.
Last night, did you understand. How I trembled inside when you held my hand. And do you know when I'm alone, I always pretend. That we are more than friends.
If your heart could talk I wonder what it would tell me. If your mind could walk would it bring me a love never ending. Yes, I've got to know, I've got to know.
Snow cuts loose from the frozen. Until it joins with the African sea. In moving it changes its cold and its name. The reason I come and go is the same.
Oh, ah, oh. Sometimes I'm right, others I'm wrong. My own beliefs are in my song. The butcher, the banker, the drummer and then. Makes no difference 'bout the group I'm in.
Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss, a singing smile. Coffee smell and lilac skin, your flame in me. Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss, a singing smile. Coffee smell and lilac skin, your flame in me.
Eternal life is now on my trail. Got my red glitter coffin, man, just need one last nail. While all these ugly gentlemen play out their foolish games.
to cross the ocean and to look down then wires (?) stream into an open (....). take hold of Jude, she's coming down. . i made like i didn't tell you. don't tell it.
You can have a mansion. You can have twenty million dollars in the bank. You can have a twelve car garage,. Golden fixtures and a marble sink. You can have everything.
Lookin' down that highway far as I can see. Where I left so much of me. It's gone, gone, gone. It's how it has to be. Went in the ditch goin' 95. I can't believe that I walked away alive.
One night to make it up, one night to break it up. One thing that takes me away, one reason to make it okay. I like the things of old, like a night on sixties soul.
Boy what's up - enjoy me! Boy what's up - enjoy me! Can't get no better. You won't be sorry if you try Boy what's up - enjoy me! can't get no better. Sex me up.
In unbearable traffic.. Radio and it's deafening static.. I got my dick in my hand.. Super sanitary garbage man.. Bearing down the interstate.. Feeling hate for hate's sake..
Friend called today. Said "No more no way". He saw things different today. Ran out of trust. The world ain't big enough. For a feeling man with a plan.
CHORUS:. Gimmie water gimmie fire. Gimmie elements. Gimmie wind gimmie earth gimmie what you meant. . So gimmie water and your daughter. Get it through your head.
Tracing oil trails and streaks of black,. serpentine, to certainties that never leave you.. Impact at the start of the escape,. far away, where no-one's coming to relieve you..
Empire of one (Empire of one). Misfortunate son (A kiss to the don). Auto-hypnotic lecture short-circuit (Holding court in a rented room). Condition chronic (Suspicions static).
Talk to me 'cause I've been talking to myself. Help me get these thoughts out of my own head. I don't believe, most days I don't believe. Mercy is true, it's hard to live with the things I do.
Must have thought I was so strong. Might have ever thought I was the one for this all along. But I can't even dream or imagine how it seems. To carry the weight of this crown.
