It's clear to us this love affair. Has self combusted everywhere. And I don't feel so debonair. My piano collects dust. . A funeral with no mourners. I wish that I'd turned corners.
In an empty cinema (loneliness). When your old friends drift apart (loneliness). Wandering round the house in the dark (lonelines). Faded glory of a broken star (loneliness).
Oh baby, can't you see. When you get mad at me. Your eyes light up your face. . Oh baby, just admit. If both my wrists were slit. You'd bandage them with style and grace.
Out of nowhere I was there. But you took your time. No one thought that I could get you. Then they changed their minds. . You know that I have a perfect plan.
Be my late night partner. Oh pull me from the crowd. With all of your old records. We'll drink 'til we pass out. Where are the moments that I feel so alive?.
Let love not weigh me down. Let the cursed air be clean. When you've lost faith in the human race. Let love not weigh me down. . Let love not cause me pain.
Kids you're our only hope. Save us now we need an antidote. Kids get out on the street. Through this smoke rise through the city heat. . You loved me like a friend.
Making an appearance at a club tonight. Playing some songs that I think are alright. I'm not post-modern just a man who can bark. and bite with teeth that leave a mark.
Hey baby Jane, you have been climbing down the drain. And you run in the rain to the playground climbing frame. And the air seems so good and moist and cool.
Once I was a shadow of a man. Most dark nights my head was in it's hands. I begged God to cure my aching limbs. But he did nothing, he gave me no advice.
Well I hope God protects your soul. I don't know if you should leave home alone. Maybe you've been drinking from the Devil's bowl. I can't express myself 'cause I'm not fully grown.
I wish you all the more success. More than I could ever have. I wish the most happiness. Good friends are hard to find. . Don't make the mistakes I've made.
Oh beware of bleeding lung. And bugs that eat their young. The demons in your head. The wolves under your bead. The bones of dinosaurs. Hidden below the floors.
Take me far away. And make me lose control. For now I need to pray. Think of forgotten souls. . Disappear from every sphere. Watch them high. Then slowly die.
I was born the year punk broke. Days before the king was dead. It was the year of the snake. I was a red-faced child. Who stumbled where he tread. Was kept in orderly file.
Fingertips are all I have. Have you heard the sea?. The water's edge is all I have. Have you heard it breathe?. An endless sigh I cannot hear. Here I cease to run.
For days I've searched for the words. So I don't make a mess of this. I'll trade my eyes for a fleeting wish. I woke at 7am. The cold air was not becoming.
When the clock strikes dead on midnight. Books fly through the hall. All the lampshades turn and rotate. She walks through the wall. . With hands in pockets I search for rockets.
If I could only see straight. I wouldn't be lonely these days. I'd drag my body out of this place. And every Sunday I sleep. And pray that my soul will keep.
Beneath the heart of darkness. Lies an old machine that's dying. Spluttering like an army of artillery sporadically firing. The roots of the house are cracking, caving in.
