Start A Fire
03:35
|
|||
Tempt me tempt me I will follow
But I won’t need your love tomorrow
I’ll take you to the station when it all ends
I’ll start a fire to burn it all
Start a fire to burn it all down
I’ll make a chain of daisies and three leaf clovers
And you can put your hand upon my shoulders
I listen to every single word you said
And I wrote it down to get it out
I wrote it down to get it out of my head
Took you to the banks of the river where my heart beats
To the base of the bridge that’s become a part of me
You touched the dust on the wings of a butterfly
And I wrote it down to get it out
I wrote it down to get it out of my head
Tempt me tempt me I will follow
But I won’t need your love tomorrow
I’ll take you to the station when it all ends
I’ll start a fire to burn it all
Start a fire to burn it all down
Start a fire to burn it all
Start a fire to burn it all down
Start a fire to burn it all
Start a fire
Start a fire to burn it all
To get it out of my head
To get it out of my head

Of Roses
04:30
|

Staying up late
‘Cause the night needs my company
And in the days
My body moves with muscle memory
What a waste
And in the hearts of all the champions
I face
Throwing horseshoes throwing shade
Losing focus shifting through
The hours of the day
Running up hill from the
Permanent escape
Holding on tightly to this plastic bouquet
Of roses
What’s it for
My beating heart that’s pounding
On the door
To the locked up china cabinet
I need more
Than four walls around this fragile
Sorrow
Throwing horseshoes throwing shade
Losing focus shifting through
The hours of the day
Running up hill from the
Permanent escape
Holding on tightly to this
Plastic bouquet
Of roses, of roses
If time stood still
Just for a moment so I
Could feel a thrill
And remove this heavy blanket
In dreams
I see your face and I tremble
I don’t wanna leave
Throwing horseshoes throwing shade
Losing focus shifting through the
Hours of the day
Running up hill from the
Permanent escape
Holding on tightly to this
Plastic bouquet
Of roses, of roses, of roses, of roses

As The World Falls Down
03:53
|
|||
There's such a sad love
Deep in your eyes a kind of pale jewel
Open and closed
Within your eyes
I'll place the sky
Within your eyes
There's such a fooled heart
Beating so fast
In search of new dreams
A love that will last
Within your heart
I'll place the moon
Within your heart
As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill is gone
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you-ou-ou
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
I'll paint you mornings of gold
I'll spin you Valentine evenings though we're strangers 'til now
We're choosing the path
Between the stars
I'll leave my love
Between the stars
As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill is gone
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you-ou-ou
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling in love

After The Masquerade
03:54
|
|||
Bad move, trouble zone
Hard times, overload
Forgive a little, forget me not
I was warned, but I forgot
Sleepover slumber party
After the masquerade
Eyes covered in sparkles
Gold and red and blue
We were all made of stardust
And I couldn’t take my eyes off of you
Dressed up in twilight
At the masquerade
Wrapped up in pleasure
In silk, torn and frayed
Twisted in the sheets of your fantasy
Mmmm mmmm
Lovers weep in the darkness
And in the shadows they fall to the ground
Pierced by thorns and brambles
Watching as the blood drips down
Sleepover slumber party
After the masquerade
Collect a wage call your brother
Skip stones down at the riverside
Think of me every so often
But you will never know the tears I’ve cried
Sleepover slumber party
After the masquerade

I Can't Love
04:28
|
|||
I can’t speak
I can’t feel
I can’t understand
Why you’re telling me to love
‘Cause I can’t love
I can’t love
On the couch
Move to the floor
Crawl to my jeans
And put ‘em on
Get in the car
In search of a new town
‘Cause I can’t understand
Why you’re telling me to love
‘Cause I can’t love
I can’t love
Stars in the rearview
Glitter in the sky
Ashes of a memory
Holding hands in the night
Take my breath
Fully away
‘Cause I can’t understand
Why you’re telling me to love
‘Cause I can’t love
I can’t love

In My Dreams
04:12
|
|||
It was a dream sunset
But the motel was cold
And the moments flew by
In the wind as it rolled
Onto the cluttered bench
In the backseat of your car
I felt happiness within me
I felt pleasure in the dark
Was it all just a dream
Under April showers
And heading to the town
Where your brother was born
And with the windows rolled down
You touched my cheek
And said soon you’re gonna wake up
‘Cause this has all been a dream
But I don’t wanna get there
‘Cause I don’t wanna wake up alone
Stranded in the darkness
Sorrow filling up my lungs
I wanna fly
soar through the air with your love
In my dreams
In my dreams
It was a big screen movie
You caught a star shooting down
Like a rocket through space dust
Leaving sparks all around
You place it in my hand
And said this is where you’ll find me
When you wake up
‘Cause this has all been a dream
But I don’t wanna get there
‘Cause I don’t wanna wake up alone
Stranded in the darkness
Sorrow filling up my lungs
I wanna fly
soar through the air with your love
In my dreams
In my dreams
But I don’t wanna get there
‘Cause I don’t wanna wake up alone
Stranded in the darkness
Sorrow filling up my lungs
I wanna fly
soar through the air with your love
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams
In my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams
In my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams

Waterline
03:11
|

All my friends they tell me how they’re feeling
So damn good they’re staring at the ceiling
Devastation jitters through the mind
Reach through my door and show me that you’re fine
Long John’s turned inside
Proud Mary screams and shouts
We’ll find freedom at the waterline
Clear your throat there’s silence in the seasons
Visit your lover commit high treason
Sell your soul into damnation
Illuminate your public isolation
Long John’s turned inside out
Proud Mary screams and shouts
We’ll find freedom at the waterline
Long John’s turned inside out
Proud Mary screams and shouts
We’ll find freedom at the waterline
Reverent heart you are a mystery
Remove the haze that you washed over me
My housecoat is bourbon stained
Still insomnia nips at my brain
Long John’s turned inside out
Proud Mary screams and shouts we’ll find freedom at the waterline
Long John’s turned inside out
Proud Mary screams and shouts
We’ll find freedom at the waterline
We’ll find freedom at the waterline
We’ll find freedom at the waterline

Station
04:05
|

You’re a liar
Picked up the passion
Threw away all desire
I’m coming closer to you I will grab your throat
I’m a crier
All the mistakes I keep in the pocket of my coat
Catch fire
All the memories they leave me loveless
I need a little company
I dropped her off at the station
I fill myself with misery
As I keep on behaving, behaving ooooh
You’re a liar
Picked up the passion
Threw away all desire
I’m coming closer to you I will grab your throat
I’m a crier
All the mistakes I keep in the pocket of my coat
Catch fire
All the memories they leave me loveless
I need a little company
I dropped her off at the station
I fill myself with misery
As I keep on behaving, behaving ooooh
Oh I’m behaving, behaving ooooh

Mourning Tonight
03:35
|
|||
I was never told about it
I never stole the truth from you
How was I to feel with the memories
Dead grass and the mourning gloom
Pages for words and a mind to write
How am I gonna sleep tonight
Heels drag along the pavement
Summer whispers in my ears
Treasure is buried somewhere
Somewhere far away from here
Put your hands around my heart and squeeze tight
How am I gonna sleep tonight
Ooooh ooooh
Playground hand blisters
The suns burning my winter cheeks
High school nightmares
Sticks and stones that made me weak
Love is on the edge, love is a fight
How am I gonna sleep tonight
Oooh oooh
Dust on the mantle
Screen door quietly creaks
Something big on the horizon
Handle me carefully
Love is on the edge, love is a fight
How am I gonna sleep tonight
Put your hands around my heart and squeeze tight
How am I gonna sleep tonight

The End
03:01
|
|||
Would you kindly tell me what it is you got up to today
Did you find new love is there a piece in your heart forever replaced
‘Cause I know the end is coming
I can feel it in the blood of my body
Tell me was it me
Girl in the mirror in front of me I try to hide
She’s sad and broken ugly from the pain you left inside
Is there a light at the end of the tunnel
Or is this the beginning of the end
Tell me was it me
Tell me was it me
End of the road end of the line
Is it the end of the day or the end of the night
End of pretending dreams come true
And I’m tired of waiting
Tell me was it me
Is there a light at the end of the tunnel
Or is this the beginning of the end
Tell me was it me
‘Cause I know the end is coming
I can feel it in the blood of my body
Tell me was it me
End of the road end of the line
Is it the end of the day or the end of the night
End of pretending dreams come true
And I’m tired of waiting
Just tell me was it me
Tell me was it me
Would you kindly tell me what it is you got up to today

Sunglasses
House dress
Hearts a-blazing
Hairs a mess
Where do we go from here
Who will take me in
In my sunglasses
House dress
Up the street
Looking for my friend
Knock three times
Please let me in
Cup of coffee
Or a bottle of wine
With my sunglasses
Covering my eyes
Don’t, don’t tell it to me softly
Don’t, don’t break it to me too kind
I, I’ve been wandering blindly
And I just need a friend
Somebody to lean on
I just need a friend
Somebody to lean on
