I came down over the sleeping mountains where Our white tones plunged into the weeping shelter tower Our skin up out from the bottom leaves our ankles bare Don't just wander back and forth and leave it
Build it into pinnacles and shrines of some Some ghastly predicament in mind you'll find Leaves us plastered to a bed of hairs We'll be all coiled up near the bottom with my chest, unbare it
Obedear, the sky is low Gather up its harm and gods with grateful arms Obedear, the sky is low Gather up its harm and gods with grateful arms
Obedear, the sky is low Watch fluids seem and rid their rudders, oh they'll Grace it with their wind arrows 'tis in the feathers that That they branch below, low
Oh my dreams come back to me, back to me, back to All my wrinkles build on me, build on me, build on
Obedear, the sky is low Gather up its harm and gods with grateful arms Obedear, the sky is low Gather up its harm and gods with grateful arms
Sometimes I wish that I was there 'Cause only living can feeling pain Sometimes I wish that I could fly It gets so grounded and life will pass you by
Hey little girl you're on your own Hear the day and then you're gone Before we ride into the sun Get it on
Sometimes your world so full of pain it gets so hurt inside and drive wise Sometimes the worlds you gotta say It gets so trapped inside and fade away
Hey little girl you're on your own Hear the day and then you're gone Before we ride into the sun Get it on
Hey little girl you're on your own Hear the day and then you're gone Before we ride into the sun Get it on Hey little girl you're on your own Hear the day and then you're gone Before we ride into the sun Get it on
Every single night I endure the flight Of little whims of white flame Butterflies in my brain These ideas of mine percolate the mind Trickle down the spines Form the belly swelling to a blaze That's where the pain comes in Like a second skeleton Trying to fit beneath the skin I can't fit the feelings in Every single night's alive With my brain
What I say to her Why'd I say it to her What does she think of me That I'm not what I ought to be That I'm what I try not to be Has got to be somebody else's fault I can't get caught If what I am is what I am 'Cause I does what I does Then brother get back 'cause my breast gonna bust open The rib is the shell and the heart is the yolk And I just made a meal for us both to choke on Every single night's a fight With my brain
I just wanna feel everything I just wanna feel everything I just wanna feel everything So I'm gonna try to be still now Gonna renounce the mill a while And if we had a double king size bed We could move in and i'd soon forget If what I am is what I am 'Cause I does what I does And maybe I'd relax let my breast just bust open My hearts made of parts of all that's around me And that's why the devil just cant get around me Every single night's alright Every single night's a fight Every single fight's alright With my brain
I just wanna feel everything I just wanna feel everything I just wanna feel everything I just wanna feel everything
Dead land's collided You pour your life down the rifle's spiral And show us you've earned it Cleric's fog will recede right before your eyes
So long to this wretched form Down gray eyes on the subway Long before you were born You were always to be a dagger floating Straight to their heart
Listen now we won't tell anyone But you're gonna tell the world So life ain't then any fun May this rail unfurl
As you rise, rise from your burning fiat Go, go get my suitcase, would you? You've thoroughly blown their mind And now I must have passage on the lines To the veins from your heart
You're not invisible now You just don't exist Your mother must be so proud You sublimate yourself Drowning us of rich
Primitive mirror on the wall To fortify your grim resolve And made the glitz of a shopping mall Another grain of indigent salt to the sea
Go back to this wretched form All them gray eyes on the subway So long before you were born You were always to be a dagger floating Straight to their heart
In the blue of this night Where it ends in the light When you couldn't sleep You would come for me
Wander eyes, ocean high And we don't dare slip on by Make her suffer Like no other It's nothing like Lapis lazuli Let it go Back to old me
Like no other you could be replaced Like no other you could be replaced Like no other you could be replaced Like no other you could be replaced Like no other (it's nothing like) You could be replaced (lapis lazuli)
Who got hit and who hit first? Who was bad and who got worse? Who got caught up in the life? Who went down and who got higher? Who ran back into the fire? Who was really hypnotised?
And if I didn't believe you then Then I won't believe you now And if I didn't believe you then Then I don't believe you now
I'm on the run I'm on the run I'm on the run We'll ride into the sun
Who was them and who was us? Who stood up and robbed the bus? Who is wrong and who decides? Who went left and who was right? Who went out on a mischief night? Who was really hypnotised?
And if I didn't believe you then Then I won't believe you now And if I didn't believe you then Then I don't believe you now
I'm on the run I'm on the run I'm on the run We'll ride into the sun I'm on the run We'll ride into the sun
I live for these moments, just like this one I live for these moments, just like this one I live for these moments
I live for these moments, just like this one I live for these moments, just like this one I live for these moments, just like this one I live for these moments, just like this one

Whispers in the grass Under slow dancing trees Birds are telling me stories Saying you were meant for me
With their bittersweet melodies Like a sweet memory Bittersweet melodies Can't go back I can't go on without those Bittersweet melodies
Weakened kitchen floor Snow slips under the door Tiny speakers were singing Telephone always ringing
With those bittersweet melodies Like a sweet memory Bittersweet melodies Can't go back I can't go on
I remember us Before we turned to dusk Just when these feelings were all about When we still could trust in our hearts
Bittersweet melody Like a sweet memory Bittersweet melody Can't go back I can't go on Both of us singing that same old song With those bittersweet melody Like a sweet memory Bittersweet melody And it seemed oh so wrong Since those bittersweet melody played for me
The whip across my back in god’s reign Who’d have thought he’d die young And I feel like the one And I feel like the one its a call It's the mind will save us all
So long, so long, so long You could come down It’s a shame god is dead It’s a shame you could come down
The cross across my back in the darkness Who have thought we’d die young And i feel and i feel and i feel Like the one its a call It's the mind will save us all
So long, so long, so long You could come down It’s a shame god is dead It’s a shame you could come down
There's no world, and no god And no hate, and no fun And no faith, and no god It's just me, getting high Hey, somewhere outside And I wish I could be there Most of the time
As I give all the clues And go out of the room As I gaze down the hall It's just me, not at all Hey, somewhere outside And I wish I could be there Most of the time
And one of these days, I hope I come around And one of these days, I hope I come around And one of these days, I hope I come around And one of these days, I hope I come around And one of these days, I'll come around One of these days, I'll come around One of these days, I'll come around One of these days, I'll come around
Hope it will carry us away In the endless build into nothing Light will come to reign again In the clouds into nothing
On a life value foreign Greyer shades wait to take us all Into nothing
There'll be a change of view And all phases away into nothing
Spaces silence endless build into nothing Painless hopeless endless build into nothing All love all time endless build into nothing Future distance endless build into nothing Endless build into nothing Endless build into nothing Endless build into nothing Endless build into nothing
Space invaders flying home They're going to hit the sack And they're probably going to die getting high Cause they're mixing crazy moments with the crack And she's kissing all the boys She's to clever to be slack But she's bound to go away for a day And she'll like so she won't be coming back
Baby, baby, baby Your good old days have died Baby, baby, baby And now won't you dry your pretty eyes Baby, baby, baby Your good old days are dead Come on
It's my big bell bottom cords And imagine with a hat And you're a rule breaker baby Can't you see me standing? Only you went ahead and sat And she's kissing all the boys She's to clever to be slack But she's bound to go away for a day And she'll like it so she won't be coming back
Baby, baby, baby Your good old days have died Baby, baby, baby And now won't you dry your pretty eyes Baby, baby, baby Your good old days are dead Come on
If you had looked You might have just seen them Stretched in the background You'd see the oceans swell And the mountains shook You'd see a million colors If you really looked Now quick the night draws near Her curtain spreads quicker The safety's off But the gun has no trigger
If you had looked You'd be no one's coward Distance, justice, power You'd glimpse the password You wouldn't need the book You'd own both slave and master If you just had looked But now the banks all closed And nothing gets bigger The crowd will yell But the gun has no trigger
If you had looked You might reconsider Or just maybe you already have They watch you sleeping You watch their garbage cook You'd weep a bowl of tears If you had looked But now the gate comes down The pangs are growing dimmer You hold a gun to your head But the gun has no trigger
