In theory there stands
this tower of stone.
We could stay here
or make our own tower.
When my rhythms get stuck
Well at least I got style
When you saying that name
You know I’m not required to answer.
It’s got me feeling left out
but at least I got style.
When I’m saying your name
you know, you’re not required to answer.
I’ve been open,
for so long, I forgot how to feel
new vibrations
and how to pick up all the parts it left of me.
Let it into your star,
let it carry you home.
You put it in the way
of everything that you had meant to say.
You let it overtake you.
It’s got me feeling left out.
Would you follow me home?
When they saying that name,
you know, I’m not required to answer.
I’ve been open,
for so long, I forgot how to feel
new vibrations
and how to pick up all the parts you left of me.

I was the Queen’s new courtesan.
Now she’s asking me to turn around.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
I’m just spinning out of love again.
I guess I’m spinning out of everything
with what little is left of me.
With what the little that you left of me.
Lisa,
you are the world to me tonight,
but for Lisa
it’s always me, myself and I.
When you walk on by with what you shake,
you know, it makes me feel alive,
but for Lisa
it’s always me, myself, and I.
Remember what you said?
Come on let’s do it again,
or just get your way.
The cassette was for your love.
I thought you cared enough to share.
She said, “You're just another boy.”
I said, “To me you're just my everything.”
Oh no, here I am alone again.
I guess, here I am fucked up again.
We gotta get down to the chores,
cuz I’m a 21st century boy
Is this a dream?
Because I feel too young to die.
Well I guess it's me,
and just another sad goodbye.
When you walk on by with what you shake,
you know, it makes me feel alive,
but for Lisa
it’s always me, myself, and I.
Lisa
You are the world to me tonight,
but for Lisa
it's always me, myself, and I.
When you walk on by with what you shake,
You know, it makes me feel alive.
Lisa,
you are the world to me tonight.

Deep Inside of Me
03:50
|
|

Here’s to the night.
I can’t live this way,
all the death we made.
Won’t you stay?
Won’t you stay?
Somewhere deep inside of me,
you were deep inside of me.
When you were deep inside of me.
Call it off.
Let’s call it off.
For the bed we made,
all the less we stay.
I am not your cocaine reject.
We were young,
and we’ll stay young.
Go ahead and kiss
all the world with this.
I am yours,
and I’ll stay yours
somewhere deep inside of me.
You were deep inside of me.
When you were deep inside of me.
This one stands at the door.
This one stands at the door.
So come on and get your way.
I will lay and wait
for the chance to take your sin.
Your sin.
Somewhere deep inside of me,
you were deep inside of me.
(This one stands at the door)
When you were deep inside of me.
(This one stands at the door)
When you were deep inside of me.
When you were deep inside of me.
When you were deep inside of me.
When you were deep inside of me.
When you were deep inside of me.
When you were deep inside of me.

I’m a fool to carry
all the weight you’ve left behind.
Well they say be wary.
I’m the gun and you're the night.
When I'm feeling lonely
you’re always on my mind.
Don't get roly poly,
cuz it feels like the hundredth time
we've said goodbye.
Would you stay for breakfast?
I could give you honeycombs and eggs.
We could lay as lovers,
and play like more than friends
again.
Pardon me I’m thirsty
for some drink I can't recall.
Oh yes,
you're the one to quench it,
but its always what you want
Oh yeah,
with your wicked fingers,
and your ghosts lips breathing down my neck.
We could sing the chorus.
but I don't know how it ends.
Oh yeah.
“Here we are again”
With your wicked fingers,
and your ghost lips breathing down my neck.
We could sing the chorus,
but I don’t know how it ends.
Oh yeah.
“Here we are again.”

The Saline Dream
04:54

I fell in.
I fall in line.
Would you let me in?
Would you let me try?
With these cold hands.
With the green hands.
Is it second hand to the loge?
Would you hold me,
just to hold me?
Would you settle me
in your saline dream?
Would you kiss me here?
Would you make it right?
Cuz you know I've been scared,
but I’m not this time.
You’re like staring right into the sun
without losing sight.
Do you trust me?
I could show you it's not like that.
Would you touch me there?
Would you tell me I’m
the one?
With these old hands.
With the green hand.
Am I the only one who stands
for a world where it’s not like that.
Do you love me?
I could show you it’s not like that.
You fell in,
and then I fell in,
and then you fell in,
and then I fell in love.

The Keep
03:04

Come one, come all in.
Come one, come all sin.
Chlorine in my throat with a gun in my hand,
it’s barbed wire and pain.
Again and again.
An irreparable fright is a terrible fate for the lot.
For the lot.
I thank the Lord for the lot.
Are we children outside?
Are the children outside?
Is there original sin, when the gods have all died?
There’s this lingering ache.
I've been feeling the changes.
The orangish glow makes the strangers feel strange.
It's a lot.
It’s a lot.
It’s been a lot, for the lot.
With my feet on the ground,
and my head in the cloud,
it’s enough to get by when the wires are down.
I've been sharpening stakes,
and sealing the ways.
The furious nights
turn to curious days.
It's like lightning.
It's like lightning.
It's not like me to be this frightening.
It's been a lot, for the lot.
I thank the Lord for the lot.

Show me the knife.
Show me the knife,
before I show you mine.
It isn't worth it.
It isn't wise,
and it feels impossible.
Surely we can lapse
into desertion.
For what is right.
But I’ve got too much in my head.
Well you can say what you want
I don't care.
Cuz I've got too much in my head.
Everything’s gonna be alright.
Give me your light.
Give me your light,
before I turn out mine.
I need affection.
Call it design,
that you’re telling me to go.
Help me! Help me!
Help me get away.
I see you working.
I’ve been on fire.
Cuz I've got too much in my head.
I’ve got too much in my head.
Say what you want,
I don't care.
Cuz I’ve got too much in my head.
Well you see I’ve been patient,
but there’s something in my walk
that says I've two pairs of legs.
I’ve got two things left to say.
So I’m telling you nervous
from the limelight and the fire,
that says I gotta do it again.
I’ve gotta do it once again.
Cuz I’ve got too much in my head
I’ve got too much in my head.
Say what you want,
I don’t care.
Cuz I’ve got too much in my head

The Enemy Within

So I try.
I tried on the lonely boy,
but my sight,
it had been dimmed by my own lie.
So I ran.
Ran for the only door
I could find.
What lay before me was inside.
There she stood,
as she always stood,
but this time
there was something shimmering and white.
Was it lust?
Was it honest touch?
Was it your VHSs on the wall that got me to say,
“Would you take my hand for another one.”
I was there.
I was into nothing good.
Disco lights
come shining down on me.
We could stay,
stay for the hour,
or just dance
and try to forget what came before.
You could have this dance.
This house.
This life.
Was I half awake or half asleep when you said you wanted
to take my hand.
Just take my hand.
Would you take my hand for another one?
I’ll never dance with another
I’ll never dance with another
I’ll never dance with another one.
