Headlight In The Sun
03:10
|
|||
|
You were standing on the corner
Free to everyone
Turning all your gold performers
Free to everyone
And you played the game that lead to fame
But lost in shame and took the blame
For friends that died to coincide
With your electric suicide
Your brother’s dreams, the teenage screams
They never seemed to wash clean from your mind.
You were standing on the corner
Free to everyone
Giving away your Saturday night plans
Free to everyone
And you played the part straight from your heart
They called it art so it wouldn’t chart
You sang for free in harmony
With the has-beens and the wannabe’s
You lost your fans to nothing bands
Whose songs will never stand the test of time.
Baby, I know why
Everything inside your heart has died
Everybody said you’d be the one
But you shine as brightly as a headlight in the sun.
You were standing on the corner
Free to everyone
Turning all your stolen disciples
Free to everyone
You were left marooned in your cocoon
You just assumed you’d be rescued soon
But all your days wasted away
In empty bars and dead cafes
You tried in vain to vent the pain
That’s etched and stained forever in your mind.
Baby, I know why
Everything inside your heart has died
Everybody said you’d be the one
But you shine as brightly as a headlight in the sun.

Sleep In Your Sunshine
03:20
|
|||
|
I want to walk in your morning light
See your world in the blue and bright
I want to lie underneath your sky
And let the days go tumbling by.
I want to live in this lifetime
With you in my every day
I want to sleep in your sunshine
And dream the rest of my life away.
I want to live in your wilderness
Where fire burns with every kiss
I want to rest inside your ground
Leave my bones there, safe and sound.
I want to live in this lifetime
With you in my every day
I want to sleep in your sunshine
And dream the rest of my life away.

Eastern Town
02:48
|

|
In an eastern town you can end up losing your mind
Sharon can tell you firsthand, she does it all the time
There’s a silver house that’s shining on the shore
It’s a moment’s walk, but she won’t go there no more.
There are strangers walking all over the park
They stick around till Thursday, and they leave after dark
And no one’s ever heard them speak out loud
I follow them home, but I lose them in the crowd.

Spider of Love
04:14
|

|
Spider of love, spin a web for me
I don’t want to die alone
Her name was
Her name is
Her name will be.
And I dreamed of you in the morning light
By the riverside
You turned me into your deepest flame
And you burned me alive.
A whirlpool so wide, so wide and powerful
You can see it spin from space
It’s somewhere out there waiting for me
To wait for you.
Spider of love, spin a web for me
I don’t want to die alone.

Cinnamon City
02:38
|

|
Anytime she goes away
She goes away downtown
Past the churches and the places
We would pray downtown
She would leave behind her name
When we’d stay way downtown
In the arms of Cinnamon City.
It’s been ninety nights and days
Since I’ve been way downtown
Past the clubs and bars
And places we would play downtown
She would leave behind her ring
When we would stay downtown
In the arms of Cinnamon City.
Now there’s no one there
No one at all
Just my head against this vast and empty wall.
If you go down there you’ll see
There’s not a trace downtown
Just an endless memory
Of all that lay downtown
Oh to be a tumbleweed
And roll away downtown
To the arms of Cinnamon City.

Brenda Brenda

Brenda Brenda pull your head from the john
State of the Union’s off now, so we can move on
I got some cigarettes and a bottle of Jack
Let’s drink the night away and
Pray it never comes back.
Uh-oh
You’re the one.
The devil is in the white house and God is on trial
Terrorist chatter creeps out whenever I smile
Brenda Brenda, you make it all go away
You make me think the world might
Come back to earth someday.
Uh-oh
You’re the one.
One for my country
One for control
One for Georgie
One for the road.
Uh-oh
You’re the one.

Devil At My Door

Little Bobby Brady laying in his bed
He’s got cotton candy women in his Johnny Walker Red
His fingernails scrape against a silhouette
Of a girl who don’t remember what he can’t forget.
Been thinking ‘bout her, been thinking ‘bout love
Been thinking ‘bout all them little stars up above
Don’t know what for
Angels don’t come ‘round here no more.
Marianne was faithful but her civil war
Left all them boys bleeding all along her shore
You climb through her curtains, you’ll get tied to the floor
In a room full of fire and a devil at the door.
She won’t think about you, won’t think about love
Won’t think about any of them stars up above
Cuz she knows for sure
Angels don’t come ‘round here no more.
I’m done thinking ‘bout you, done thinking ‘bout love
Done thinking ‘bout any of them stars up above
Cuz I know for sure
Angels don’t come ‘round here no more.

Records In My Mind
02:59
|
|||
|
Oh, I can hear the children singing hallelujah
Oh, it’s like they’re singing to me right outside my door
Oh, but they disappear every single time
They’re only singing on the records in my mind.
Oh, I can hear my sister banging on my brother’s wall
Oh, he’s singing with The Stones, he can’t hear her at all
Oh, but when to go to join him, it’s emptiness I find
He’s only singing on the records in my mind.
Oh, I can feel you there, you’re dancing right up next me
Oh, we got the moonlight and a crate of 33’s
Oh, but you fade away when the sun begins to shine
I’m dancing all alone to these records in mind.

Back In Berlin
02:32

Oh my little angel
Eyes so dark, I should’ve known you were some sort of villain
How was I to know, babe
How was I to know it was me that you would be killin’?
And when they have taken me down too far
You resurrect my life
You resurrect my…
So goodbye, baby
I’ll see you again when you feel you’re slippin’
You’ll know what I mean in a year or two
And it’s only you
And you’re back in Berlin.
So many nights I could’ve sworn that you were so willin’
How was I to know, babe
You would never break
I’d fall in love with your indecision.
And when they have taken me down too far
You resurrect my life
You complicate my…
So goodbye, baby
I’ll see you again when you’re alone and trippin’
You’ll know what I mean in a year or two
And it’s only you
And you’re back in Berlin.

Thief

She’s the one you didn’t stay for
Wouldn’t go out of your way for
Now all you know, all you know is
She…
She’s the one you didn’t care for
Never did say a prayer for
Now all you know, all you know is
She…

I am starting to let you go
For so long, I tried to hold on
Now I realize I was wrong.
You are starting to fade away
You’re growing smaller in my eye
Still I find it hard to say goodbye.
So come down, be with me
Follow my voice, don’t lose me
Seven million stars in the sky
One less one for you and I.
I am starting to let you go
And though I try to so gently
I know in the end you’ll resent me.
Come down, be with me
Follow my voice, don’t lose me
Seven million stars in the sky
One less one for you and I.

Driving on the road to nowhere again
Praying that the side effects don’t end
Anything to take away the pain
To take away the voices calling your name.
God lights up rainbow, I’ll turn it black
Cupid shoots his arrow, I’ll shoot him back
I renounce my country, my king, my claim
When I die, it will only be in your name.
So won’t you let it go
This one has gotten away
It’s all over the papers
Lois Lane is leaving Superman
It was over before it began.
Think I’m gonna move off to Paris, France
Die just like Jim Morrison in the bath
Never have to worry ‘bout family or friends
Or thoughts of never seeing you again.
So won’t you let it go
This one has gotten away
It’s all over the papers
Lois Lane is leaving Superman
It was over before it began.
So won’t you let it go
This one has gotten away
Tell it station to station
She’s grown up and she’s leaving with the band
It was over before it began.

You’d come around here like a killing spree
Till there was nothing left of me
When I’d lie there in my grave
You were the only thing I craved.
Maybe the heroin will bring us back together again.
Watching the waves break on the shore
Till I just can’t take no more
How we used to drown in there
Never once coming up for air.
Maybe the heroin will bring us back together again.
Sitting in the window sill
Methadone and the morning chill
Of everything that’s come and gone
You’re what I wanted all along.
