"Feathers And Down"


So you trying to do what they did
Your friends that turn to liquid
And got lost in the sea
And now you’re drowning me
With your talk of four leaf clovers
You turn to rocks and omen
To beat the ambient harm
But it’s bruising your karma

Oh I wish my arms were wider
I wish that I could hide you
So you can rest and repair
Without the blanket of sorrow
The thick and the grey
Your blanket of woe
So heavy and stained
And it only weighs you down

So you thought that getting sober
Would mean your life was over
I don’t think it’s that bad
I don’t think it’s that sad
Just you sleep a little baby
Leave the world alone and later
If you wake up alive
That old blanket of sorrow
Could be feathers and down
Your blanket of woe
Would leave you alone
And I can love you till you drown

Come to me let’s drown
Come baby let’s drown
In feathers and down

"03.45: No Sleep"


It's way too late to think of
Someone I would call now
And neon signs got tired
Red eye flights help the stars out
I'm safe in a corner
Just hours before me

I'm waking with the roaches
The world has surrendered
I'm dating ancient ghosts
The ones I made friends with
The comfort of fireflies
Long gone before daylight

And if I had one wish fulfilled tonight
I'd ask for the sun to never rise
If God leant his voice to me to speak
I'd say go to bed, world

I've always been too late
To see what's before me
And I know nothing sweeter than
Champaign from last New Years
Sweet music in my ears
And a night full of no fears

But if I had one wish fulfilled tonight
I'd ask for the sun to never rise
If God passed a mic to me to speak
I'd say stay in bed, world
Sleep in peace

And then you kissed me II


slow dancing tight
my barren heart and
your name used to taste so sweet
then you beat the love right out of me
it's a mystery how people behave!
how we long for a life as a slave
when he kissed me I gladly gave in
to a fight nobody could win

man, he left me blue
and if I could I would do it too
I tell you now like I told you before
love is a powerful force
and it's a mystery how people behave!
how we long for a life as a slave
and tumble into any open arms
that will only ever do you harm

oh, you you it's always you
the best kisser that I ever knew
true love is cruel love
not much to be proud of
nerve-wrecking acrobatic backwards bend
all for a happy end

it's a mystery how people behave!
how we worry ourselves to the grave
when he kissed me I lost everything
then I got up and did it again

oh you you, it's always you, the hardest hitter that I ever knew
true love is cruel love
not much to be proud of

ass-kissing mercy-missing faithless friend
all for a happy end

I Need Some Fine Wine And You, You Need To Be Nice

Sit, good dog, stay, bad dog, down, roll over

Well here's a good man and a pretty young girl
Trying to play together somehow,
I'm wasting my life, you're changing the world,
I get drunk and watch your head grow

It's the good times that we share
and the bad times that we'll have
It's the good times
and the bad times that we had

Well it's been a long slow collision,
I'm a pitbull, you're a dog,
Baby you're foul in clear conditions
But you're handsome in the fog

So I need some fine wine, and you, you need to be nicer
For the good times and the bad times
That we'll have

Sometimes we talk over dinner like old friends
Till I go and kill the bottle,
I go off over any old thing,
Break your heart
and raise a glass or ten

To the good times that we shared and the bad times that we'll have
To the good times
and the bad time that we've had

Well it's been a long slow collision,
I'm a pitbull, you're a dog,
Baby you're foul in clear conditions
But you're handsome in the fog

So I need some fine wine and you, you need to be nicer
For the good times
and the bad times we know will come
Yeah
I need some fine wine
and you, you need to be nicer
you need to be nicer
you need

For the good times
and the bad time that we had
Sit

Good times, bad times
Sweet wine, bad wine
Good cop, bad cop,
Lapdog, bad dog
Sit.

Overload

Overload
Oh what a match we are!
As we romance along
Towards the firescape
Open fire
Forever in your arms
Splendid time we have
Doing what I dread
Oh my lord
Can I buy some time
I'm learning to dance
Dum-ditty-dance
I'm dancing, ok?

Overlord
Lord of the underworld
Full-of-wonder-girl
As we twist and twirl
Hot and dry
High in my cloven heels
This is how real love feels
As we prance and die
Oh my lord
Such a fancy fire
As we dance
You sure can dance
Dance dance

You I will never forget
I hope you'll remember me later
We're swimming in a puddle of sweat
I'm hot baby, don't burn your fingers
I'm tenderly served on your plate
The band must continue to play

So we dance
I love to dance
Baby dance with me
Yeah
I can dance
To love is to dance
Now dance me home

The bluest eyes in Texas

The lonesome Texas sun was setting low
and in the rearview mirror I watched it go
I can still see the wind in her golden hair
I close my eyes  for a moment
I'm still there

The bluest eyes in Texas
are haunting me tonight
Like the stars that fill the midnight sky
her memory fills my mind
Where did I go wrong?
Did I wait too long?
Or can I make it right?
The bluest eyes of Texas are haunting me tonight

Another town, another hotel room
Another dream that ended way too soon
Left me lonely waiting for the dawn
Searching for the strength to carry on

The bluest in Texas are haunting me tonight
like the stars that fill the midnight sky
her memory fills my mind
Where did I go wrong?
Did I wait too long?
Or can I make it right?
The bluest eyes of Texas are haunting me tonight

For every heart you break you pay the price
But I can't forget the tears in her blue eyes

The bluest eyes in Texas are haunting me tonight
Like the stars that fill the midnight sky
her memory fills my mind
Where did I go wrong?
Did I wait too long?
Or can I make it right?
The bluest eyes in Texas are haunting me tonight
