My House Is A Lagoon
02:34
|
|||
How I strive for company
Naked souls in custody
Stranded in this world of mine
All my hopes are on the line
The heat that’s been left I won’t share with you
I kept the ceiling open now in my house on the lagoon
I have built a shore of schemes
Fed out of your hands it seems
So I’ve lost my precious role
Now I’m fishing from a bowl
The heat that’s been left I won’t share with you
I kept the ceiling open now in my house on the lagoon
I’ve become what I was not
Building heaven out of mud
The heat that’s been left I won’t share with you
I kept the ceiling open now my house is a lagoon
The water’s getting higher
It’s getting higher
It’s getting higher
It’s getting higher
It’s getting higher
But it’s getting harder to drown

Helicopter
04:40

Live and learn
Crash and burn
First in line
To pay the fine
She's just a girl just a girl oh no
I follow
I follow
When they follow you, they follow you with their eyes
Give and take
Make or break
All for one
Time to run
She's just a girl just a girl oh no
I follow
I follow
When they follow you, they follow you with their eyes
Seat belt's tight – you're looking from above
They spit and curse you wonder “where's the love?”
Why do they do it?
Savior coming down to earth on your way down,
You watch the buildings burn
Why do they do it?

Like Kids In Paradise
04:15
|
|||
Naked hills through my windows
Real people are my pillows
They are the stars of my dreams
Only trouble is I’m a fool
The less I talked the more you chewed
I’m lucky enough to let myself out
We’ll walk on water
We’ll walk on water
This was just a place to hide
When we kissed like kids in paradise
I’m so happy that my memory’s frail
But I am sick in the pit of my gut
I am sick in the pit of my gut
But I’m too ashamed to stand up on my own
We’ll walk on water
We’ll walk on water
I’m not a sucker anymore
I’m not a sucker anymore
Just another stray dog on the street
We’ll walk on water
We’ll walk on water

Only In Darkness
03:36
|
|||
Grey waves across the sea
The black bird flies
Flies against the wind
I let him inside
It's only in darkness that darkness hides
Behind a scarlet scarf
He hides his face
Winters of freezing cold
In his embrace
It's only in darkness that darkness hides
He's building this wooden box
Just tell him I tried
I tried to break my bones
And fit inside
It's only in darkness that darkness hides
You have sworn to show me how
how to break these monsters
Bring them to the ground

Aim For The Head
04:28
|
|||
Trying to live through hate and change
Still believe we're fine
Big deal they'll say
We can see it right now
Tired of feeling pushed aside
A mine of hidden hopes
Drawn from the drones
Right into your lair
Be someone else
And free yourself from everything else
For love
You nose around my secret flare
Is all you care to share
Headlines for all
Moral backbone for sale
Be someone else
And free yourself from everything else
For love
I saw helmets I saw batons
Insects flying in all directions
But how I long for the truth
When you hear the soldiers marching
We'll be locked in our quiet hideout
And aim, aim for the head

Legacy
03:17
|
|||
When Carmen jumped ashore
Took a walk along the coast
She thought it's all in your head
It must be all in your head
The fishermen stood still
while the bulls were running free
It's all in your head
Yes it's all in your head
A legacy of wood
in a world of solid gold
it's all in your head
yes it's all in your head
On the way back home
she thought now,
I have things to lose
It must be all in my head
must be all in my head

Bright Lights
02:25
|
|||
Swinging softly
Swinging with the breeze
And I know I should have never let go
In the middle of the road
You told me to let go let it go – go back to the things we know
The sun comes down
the clouds turn red
But we all heard the concrete call
We'll bury ourselves in the sand
we'll let the cities burn let'em burn – we're not going back at all
Sometimes it makes me cry
So would you hold me to the end of the line
Would you hold me till the end of time
And show me bright lights
Childhood dreams are never put to bed
We are just waiting for our turn
olive trees in our head
we'll let the cities burn let'em burn – we're not ever gonna return
Sometimes it makes me cry
So would you hold me to the end of the line
Would you hold me till the end of time
And show me bright lights

In The Sun
03:03
|
|||
You and your victimless crimes
Try to make piece with your time
You're cheating death with a smile
Come lay with me for a while
I never thought I'd be sitting in the sun
I never thought I'd be deep in the hole now
You and your friends pay the price
Fate in the roll of the dice
Searching for your own advice
I will pretend you are wise
I never thought I'd be sitting in the sun
I never thought I'd be deep in the hole now

Vindication Of Love
02:21
|
|||
The vindication of love
Nothing could ever keep us apart
The complications of love
Nothing could keep us from playing our part
Everything you ever wanted was more
That's what you came for
you're my best creation
you're my work of art
I could never hurt you
I could never break your heart
The vindication of love
The bombs are falling - they're hiding the sun
They fall from above
But that doesn't scare us - we're on the run
Everything you ever wanted was more
That's what you came for

Down By The River
03:34
|
|||
Never forgotten
Never mistaken
Nothing forgiven
Down by the river
Breathe underwater
Drown in the sunlight
Burning with fever
Down by the river
And I shine a light shine a lonely white light
I see the clouds see the clouds they're reflecting on eyes
They're colliding through the night
Knee deep in water
grass on your fingers
too late for dreamers
down by the river
Floating and drifting
Doctors and healers
Pieces of silver
Down by the river
And I shine a light shine a lonely white light
I see the clouds see the clouds they're reflecting on eyes
They're colliding through the night

Big Life Illusions
05:56
|
|||
We’re all waiting for you
Troubled children of your youth
Give up hope and dry your eyes
Those are endless slow goodbyes
Run for miles
Sprayed with starvation you’re spilling your wine
Breath in
‘cause big life’s a strain on your eyes
Hide between those endless sights
The city shuts its blue eyed lights
Dream on
Stay at your playhouse don’t ever grow old
Hang on
And make sure your pillow stays cold
Have a taste of yankee pride
Shoot the world and make a stride
