Moth 04:17
Oh, a headache of red lights and white traffic Creeping through the peepshows and the alleys, so lovely It's on my mind, it's all the time, can I get off? Outside I swear her thighs were breathing "Everyone says how I look much younger than I am" It's on my mind, it's all the time, can I get off? It's on my mind, it's all the time, can I get off? Now I'm lost in my lust in a dream that lasts forever Like a moth to the flame, this will be the end of me I could hide in the flesh, we could find ourselves together Bury me to my neck, oh I swear I'll never leave Silent sirens confess sweet nothings "Every man is just another boy who cries, 'mamma'" It's on my mind, it's all the time, can I get off? It's on my mind, it's all the time, can I get off? Now I'm lost in my lust in a dream that lasts forever Like a moth to the flame, this will be the end of me I could hide in the flesh, we could find ourselves together Bury me to my neck, oh I swear I'll never leave It's on my mind, it's all the time, can I get off?

We've been dancing to heartbeats in our mind Friends and strangers are watching from the side Nights roll on, we're forever holding strong And I really must say It's a beautiful parade What I really must say It's a beautiful parade And I can't stop the wheels that turn With the words I can never say So I hold on to something Just long enough To watch it all float away   We’ve marched miles, thumbing for a ride And fallen asleep beside the lonely roads at night Cars roll on, we’re singing the same songs   And I really must say It's a beautiful parade What I really must say It's a beautiful parade And I can't stop the wheels that turn With the words I can never say So I hold on to something Just long enough To watch it all float away Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey I've followed you around Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey It's wearing me out Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey I could never explain Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey But I'd do it again, again, again, again And I really must say It's a beautiful parade What I really must say It's a beautiful parade And I can't stop the wheels that turn With the words I can never say So I hold on to something Just long enough To watch it all float away

Stand up, engage, this party's kicking like a wake Our time, is spent, hiding in shadows 'til the end... 'til the end The host, is proud, misquoting Beach Boys to a crowd Of rich young swing, smiling and stained the same with wine Deep blood red March like lemmings to the seaside Ohhhh, lost in this scene my love Ohhhh, dying to leave my love We’ll hide, upstairs, I'll nick his coat for you to wear We’ll count, the ways, they’re all completely insane March like lemmings to the seaside Ohhhh, lost in this scene my love Ohhhh, dying to leave my love These victims of pop magazines With model lives and vacant dreams

I called around and got the word The tide had turned and so I found All that I made would burn tonight I waded out to where I'd drown My resting place My final words up on a wall For all to read of how I turned I sold myself, I sailed away I poured the fuel, now watch me burn In my resting place Forget me tonight I'm going up in flames I'm ending this charade I'm setting things right Forget me tonight I'm going up in flames I'm ending this charade I'm setting things right I talk in rhyme, it hides the shame It seems a waste to leave behind A legacy, a rotten thought A poisoned seed to sprout in time From my resting place

Waiting for a call from my brother He's been living undercover Where you been, where you been? How'd we lose five years? Where you been, where you been? I watched you disappear and now Like a ghost from the grave It's like nothing has changed You came home Mum's been crazy since you left us We had no one to protect us Where you been, where you been? While we were sinking? Where you been, where you been? I watched you disappear and now Like a ghost from the grave It's like nothing has changed You came home You spent your time in a cage I spent mine coming of age You nearly left it too late To come home Let it run, let it run, let it run, let the blood run

On The Run 03:35
Young one, so full of young love Nothing better come along and take you away Young one, when will you run love? I've got my eye on your dress and your legs and Oh I know, oh I know When my baby is on the run, oh I know Tell me my name and say it again In the basement by the lava lamp We'll talk about God and where we go when we die I've got my eye on your dress and Oh I know, oh I know When my baby is on the run, oh I know There she goes, there she goes When my baby is on the run, oh I know I never wanted more than you and I, and now it is gone I never wanted more than you and I, and now it is gone Oh I know, oh I know When my baby is on the run, oh I know There she goes, there she goes When my baby is on the run, oh I know

Stop, I know who you are, I’ve seen you before Do you know my son? He’s at war Back when I was your age, the sky was a stage Now all the giant birds are circling Because I'm a faulty bag of thoughts and mostly asleep I'm a used car salesman, it's 1980 I'm a cold walk up a river bed, I’m in and out of my own head I'm a young man in a skeleton and mostly asleep Shut the window again, the weather is grim And the cold will ache my bones Leave the radio on, so I can believe Your mother might appear to sing along Because I'm a faulty bag of thoughts and mostly asleep I'm a used car salesman, it's 1980 I'm a cold walk up a river bed, I’m in and out of my own head I'm a young man in a skeleton and mostly asleep The sickness of age cuts lines in my face Just payment for time I’ve borrowed The years all but fade, erasing the tape And leaving a bed of sorrow

Paper Doll 04:05
You're always in and out again like a good thief Sliding beneath the door to where I rest You'd paper-cut your final words on my bare skin And leave me to wake and read them on my chest I wouldn't pretend to understand My paper doll... not fit to fold... I'll hold you while I can I cut you out from a crowd of playthings And promised to keep you from the rain I'd dance with you in public space if it helped things But you'd catch the wind and tear away Paint your smile and then Forget it is there It’s on off on again Again it’s on again

The Only Eve 04:25
Reeling tonight inside my god I got to hide the heart I find hanging from my sleeve like a bloody stone Under the night sky I spied her eyes wired and wide-eyed moonlight shining out brightly tired and alone Jesus save me from myself please someone help me rise from my knees my god you have got to let me know When did I swap thoughts of her for sleep? Every beat follows her for she's fuel to the fire that makes me glow On the only eve I've ever known Keep me floating, cos I can't be alone. Trying to tie down logic for a lifetime, throwing hopeless love a lifeline, leaving loneliness to fold We're all born under a burning sun and spend our lives scared on the run forgetting all the things that we were told Reeling tonight inside my god...

We could talk around what we're thinking Or we could talk between knotted sheets Yeah oh, you are dangerous, I know But I'd like to learn the ropes There's a science to how you're moving Instinct and pheromones, two parts brooding You could hogtie my soul Still I'd like to learn the ropes You never learned to love without pain Or stopped yourself from falling out again I could go without a little breathing If you could say between gritted teeth That I will never be alone Because I'd like to learn the ropes You never learned to love without pain Or stopped yourself from falling out again This I know, I'm tied to you
