Diamonds
03:40
|
|||
I’m a dog, I’m a dog.
black and white and bones,
I wait, inside our home.
I’m in love, I’m in love
with a statue down in Rome,
and my kaleidoscope.
I bleed apart.
Torment in the colorful rain.
Diamonds, oh diamonds,
I don’t mind getting old for you, babe.
Ring the bell, who can tell?
The pigeons on the church, they know
how much it hurts
to see Madonna walk away,
silk dress to the wind,
sail off to Bethlehem.
She had a certain way,
smoking on her pipe,
shooting arrows through the gamblers at play.
She bought me out,
She won the game,
Old dog swimming in champagne.
Take me out after dark,
so the strays out on the street
can watch the princess eat.
And when she’s satisfied I know
My fur is gold,
And I’m ascending heaven.

Heavy and Young
03:11
|
|||
Old and weightless
is what you called me for my drifting mind.
Halfway to the moon, and I turned back
because the sun was in my eyes.
If we could talk, then maybe
I'd tell you how I really feel this time.
Old and weightless
is what I'm trying to kill since you've been gone.
I cast spells and talk to ghosts,
sit around and sing them all our songs.
If I could see you maybe
you could show me how it all went wrong.
I was never much for thinking
I could never get it done
I don't know how I am feeling,
heavy and young.
Old and weightless is all i ever want to be for myself.
From now on I'm sunny as hell
forgetting about the fools who can't tell.
Have a heart, then maybe
I would be an easier sell.
I was never much for thinking
I could never get it done.
I don't know how I am feeling
heavy and young.
I was never much for changing
but the world has made me dumb.
I was never much for thinking
heavy and young.
Heavy-weightless,
old and young,
I don't care what I become.

Song for Rose
03:40
|
|||
You’re so fresh
I don’t believe everything in my soul
But I know if it ever is time to go
I will do it with a gleam in my eye.
I confess
I haven’t always been good to our love
I get crazy when I drink too much alcohol
I got dark thoughts down in my mind.
But I wrote you a song
Not for anyone else
‘cause you’re my rose.
It’s alright
There’s no warning for a young boy in love
You got pregnant early in the morning
In the bed we were talking about God.
Only one life
And all the time that I give you is gold
When the baby forgets how we really were
We’ll whisper about it when the baby is old.
But I wrote you a song
Not for anyone else
‘cause you’re my rose.

On the Burning Bridge
03:26
|
|||
Hey, let us stand face-to-face.
I couldn’t hold what I hate.
Bouncing over the memories,
but I don’t ever want to forget.
Read into the moment.
Oh my days, oh my broken love,
I don’t want to say goodbye.
But there’s nothing I haven’t tried,
but death.
I don’t know exactly how I feel,
but I can’t chase you through this.
Tell me of a future I can love,
or let’s fall apart on the burning bridge.
I need to talk while we can.
I have become the invisible man.
I wish I was a stranger,
so we could start all over again.
Read into the moment.
Oh my days, oh my burning love,
I don’t want to say goodbye.
But there’s nothing I haven’t tried,
but death.
I don’t know exactly how I feel,
but I can’t chase you through this.
Tell me of a future I can love,
or let’s fall apart on the burning bridge.
I’ve woken in the night,
I don’t want to be so lost.
You used to be my light,
But now it’s at what cost?

Only In the Soul
04:05
|
|||
I’m following you
Down a forest path
Raven on my back
I’m talking blue
Let the wild beasts whisper.
North Western skies
Speak easy, I’m right here with you
By your side
Drop your feathers and your dreams into great wide space.
Let’s dance on the electric lake.
What spirit are you?
What’s the shape you take?
Can you give me a clue?
I’m hollering wolf
When the moon is full.
Our second sight
Comes from burning the candles at both ends
It makes a beautiful light
And real magic might kill you in the great wide space.
Only in the soul you see.

Mother On the Mountain
03:50
|
|||
Let the cars run wild
on the roads under neon lights.
I stand on the side
Mother on the mountain.
When they shout and fight
I would rather write
Only for her eyes
Mother on the mountain
I am, I am nothing but my name
Let the ballroom world around me rise and fall
I am I have always been the same
Through tidal waves of tears
And 3 billion years of love.
Don’t break me for sour bread
Don’t work me until I’m dead
Just bury me instead
With the mother on the mountain.
She’s got a burning smile
I would gladly die,
For a kiss goodbye
Mother on the mountain.

Oh Me, Oh My
03:42
|
|||
My dreams are full of thoughts like pearls
round the beautiful neck of a darling.
I built these wings and flew the world
right into this champagne glass of mine.
And in this blitz I felt alive
my sword cut deep in the devil
but when I open up my eyes
I am a servant wide awake.
Oh me, oh my
well I find myself drowning,
in dreams of paradise again
I am a master of illusion.
I ate my plate of hard advice,
I have fought so long with no hope.
Maybe years will be my prize
lost forever to my soul.
Perhaps one day I will rise
to meet my glorious fate,
but when I open up my eyes
I'm but a slave to this place.
Oh me, oh my
well I find myself drowning,
in dreams of paradise again
I am a master of illusion.
Dead dreamer
I live long winters in my dreams
while the snow outside keeps me locked in.
Safe and warm, so it seems
my heart is cold and frozen.
I'll call for action, call for change
I'll call for bravery in disguise
but when I'm woken there's no change
and no more magic in my mind.
Oh me, oh my
well I find myself drowning,
in dreams of paradise again
I am a master of illusion.

Nobody wants to let you drown
But I told you, Alabama, I can’t swim
You climbed up into those hills
Following him.
In the cold North Carolina
Left your summers in the pickup
Left your springtime up in Canada
Left your Autumn saying good luck.
You were married in a church under a waterfall
And I wonder, can you see in the Hollywood mist?
A million eyes were watching from the farms in Arkansas
To the suicide on the Golden Gate Bridge.
And your rings were made of China
And your vows were bound in lambskin
And your dress draped over Sodom
And Gomorrah made of porcelain.
From Seville to Manhattan
The good news comes running with the birds
As I set sail upon this great, wide ocean
I’m haunted by notorious words.
Is my vengeance real in Gotham?
Why’s the moonlight made of stone?
Will the years all be forgotten?
Is it too late to go home?
Follow me home.
With two eyes like searchlights
Follow me home.
And your rings were made of China
And your vows were bound in lambskin
And your dress draped over Sodom
And Gomorrah made of porcelain.
Is my vengeance real in Gotham?
Why’s the moonlight made of stone?
Will the years all be forgotten?
Is it too late to go home?

Outside of Us
04:10
|
|||
You flew in like Notre Dame
Changed into an honest name
I walked right in to your storm
They built a church for you
They built a mall
Ten thousand love-struck in a wall.
But I got my head
I got my hand
I got my heart on you
I got my heart on you.
This is one time
Where I am finally sure
I’m not riding on the world no more
This is one time
Where the master’s on the floor
And I’m not riding on the world no more
It’s outside of us.
She is all your greatest hits
Trying to fight is meaningless
She’s every atom in your form.
One day I’ll sing it to
Everyone and all
A stubborn love refused to fall.
One day we’ll sing it to
Everyone and all
We gave our faith and trust
‘cause it was outside of us.
I got my head
I got my hand
I got my heart on you
I got my heart on you.
This is one time
Where I am finally sure
I’m not riding on the world no more.
This is one time
Where the master’s on the floor
And I’m not riding on the world no more.
It’s outside of us
It’s outside of us
It’s outside of us.

Waiting for You
03:28
|
|||
The past don't hold no place of refuge.
The future's out there on its own.
I am soft spoken in the deluge,
I voyage into the unknown.
Somewhere out there,
There's a meaningful mouthful
waiting for you.
Unemployment holds no options,
and business don't have a sense of self.
All the rebels have been forgotten.
Everyone's worried about themselves.
Somewhere out there,
there's a meaningful mouthful
waiting for you.
No glory in pursuing despair,
Hell is a place you can find anywhere.
If you're starving and empty for something that's true,
let the music clear your mind.
Waiting for you.

Make the Sign
04:11
|
|||
We live in the backwoods chasing pure light.
We will never stop from moving.
The outside lines have blurred,
our minds
are up the coast and down in the suburbs.
And high is low and magic happens,
on an empty street,
so silent you can hear you heart beat.
I've known you since you made the sign.
And I've been watching you,
no end to the evil summer,
everyone's eyes on the girl outnumbered.
Can't stop what you feel inside let sparks fly true.
All our secret behaviors,
hold on let the time make it alright.
I see you, I must do
what my heart tells me to.
Everyone's got skeletons in our lives.
Promise me you won't sleep through the future
this time.
Don't let your tears be the story you tell.
I believe in angels ringing broken bells.
I believe that you and I will find ourselves.
We will escape when you give me the sign.
And I've been watching you,
no end to the evil summer,
everyone's eyes on the girl outnumbered.
Can't stop what you feel inside let sparks fly true.
All our secret behaviors,
hold on let the time make it alright.
I see you, I must do
what my heart tells me to.

April Child
03:37
|
|||
You’re the lucky one
We wrote it on your face
Tongues got loose when you turned around
And we all began using your name.
And on the day that you left town
They said the street light wasn’t the same
It went down.
You’re the lucky one
even though you’ve changed
everyone knows that a single smile
is the closest we can get to escape.
You’re the April child
You’re the sun in our eyes.
When the day is done
We’ll find another way
People will try to say their goodbyes
But it’s the darkest way to get through the day.
You’re the April child
You’re the sun in our eyes.
We’ve had bad days
Waiting for the rain
Mostly it’ll pass us by
And leave us just the same again.
Like all the blue words
Humming in the air
Finding that the one we want
Is buried in our simple minds.
You’re the April child
You’re the sun in our eyes.
You’re the April child
You’re the sun in our eyes.
