Lyrics of the moment

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Her legs spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed Everything...

I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be...yeah...
Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why, why, why
Can't it be, can't it be mine

Desert Drought

Even if you work it out
the problem still remains just like a desert drought
the remedy remains intact
but falls apon deaf ears that refuse to react
oblivious to laws of consequential fact

you show me when to
(what you give is what you get)
you show me how to respond
you show me when to react
you show me when
(what you give is what you get)

the image that remains in view
is one of isolation in a crowded room
surgeons note they could remove
but that would leave me left with just an open wound
you find myself receding through my own vacuum

the way some people demonstrate
intentions tend to precede choices that we make
the way some people operate
they spend their time promoting counterfeit that's fake
they'll try to sell you bread when baby it's half baked

Koka-Kola

Elevator, Going up!

In the gleaming corridors of the 51st floor
The money can be made if you really want some more
Executive decision, a clinical precision
Jumping from the windows-filled with indecision

I get good advice from the advertising world
Treat me nice says the party girl
Koke adds life where there isn't any
So freeze, man, freeze

It's the pause that refreshes in the corridors of power
When top men need a top up long before the happy hour
Your snakeskin suit and your alligator boot
You won't need a launderette, you can send them to the vet!

I get my advice from the advertising world
Treat me nice says the party girl
Koke adds life where there isn't any
So freeze, man, freeze

Koka Kola advertising and cocaine
Strolling down the Broadway in the rain
Neon light sign says it
I read it in the paper-they're crazy!
Suit your life? maybe so
In the White House-I know!
All Over Berlin (they've been doing it for years)
And in Manhattan!

Coming through the door is a snub nose 44
What the barrel can't snort it can spatter on the floor
Your eyeballs feel like pinballs
And your tongue feels like a fish
You're leaping from the windows-saying don't
Ayaiiiiirrrghhh! *@!!*@!!*!
Don't give me none of this!

I get good advice from the advertising world
Treat me nice says the party girl
Koke adds life where there isn't any
So freeze, man, freeze

Hit the deck!

State of love and trust
as I busted down the pretext
sin still plays and preaches
but to have an empty court.....

And the signs are passin, grip the wheel
can't read it
sacrifice receiving the smell that's on my hands
hands yeah
and I listen- for the voice inside my head....
Nothing
I'll do this one myself

Lay her down as priest does
should the lord be acountin'
will be in my honour, make it pain
painfully quick, uh huh

Promises are whispered
in the age of darkness
Want to be enlightened
like I want to be told the end...end

And the barrel shakes
aimed directly at my head
Oh, help me, help me from myself

And I listen
from both
sides of the bed....
nothin! I'll do this one myself
oh myself
Myself

Hey, na-na-na-na, hey that's something
Hey, na-na-na-na, hey that's something
Hey, na-na-na-na, hey that's something
Wanna back, back it away , yeah

And I listen, yeah,
for the voice inside my head
nothin', I'll do this one myself
And the barrel waits,
trigger shakes
aimed at my fuckin' head
won't you help me?
help me from myself

eh oh eh o
eh oh eh o

State of Love and......

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone

Never get high never get dry
never make love, love's not my way girl
Never make up only break up
Pull my shades up, up it's time to wake up

Never break down never get found
better catch up, up cause I'm on my way girl
Never slow dance never romance
Gotta have more, more stimulation

Town to town all across the nation
I never met a girl that could change
my way son

She can be the one, she can be the angel
She can get me high, she can be my savior
If the right one came along
God knows I'd do her wrong

She can be a saint, she can be a looker
She can make love or fuck like a hoker
If the right one came along
God knows I'd do her wrong
Do her wrong Do her wrong
Do her wrong

Never play nice, only tell lies
Never hit twice
Twice is not my way girl
We can get loud on the low down
In and I'm out
Out on the ledge girl

Get what I want then I'm on my way son
I play my song then I change the station

She can be the one, she can be the angel
She can get me high, she can be my savior
If the right one came along
God knows I'd do her wrong

She can be a saint, she can be a looker
She can make love or fuck like a hooker
If the right one came along
God knows I'd do her wrong

The wrong way, it's the only way I know
Gotta take the highway yea yeah
It's the only way I go

Then one day I caught a kiss
from a goddess and her lips
made me close my eyes like never before
She said she's come to take me home

She can be the one, she can be the angel
She can get me high, she can be my savior
If the right one came along
God knows I'd do her wrong

She can be a saint, she can be a looker
She can make love or fuck like a hooker
If the right one came along
God knows I'd do her wrong

This can be the one, This can be the angel
She can get me high, she can be my savior
Whoaaa whoooaaaa

This can be a saint, this can be a looker
This could be the one fucks like a hooker
Do her wrong, Do her wrong
Do her wrong

The more I see
The less I know
About all the things I thought were wrong or right
& carved in stone

So, don't ask me about
War, Religion, or God
Love, Sex, or Death
Because....

Everybody knows what's going wrong with the world
But I don't even know what's going on in myself.

You've gotta work out your own salvation.
With no explanation to this Earth we fall
On hands & knees we crawl
And we look up to the stars
And we reach out & pray
To a deaf, dumb & blind God who never explains.

Every body knows what's going wrong with the world
But I don't even know what's going on in myself.

Lord, I've been here for so long
I can feel it coming down on me
I'm just a slow emotion replay of somebody I used to be.

A girl consumed by fire
We all know her desire
From the plans that she has made
'I have her on a promise'
Immerse me in your splendour
All the plans that i have made

This is the one
'This is the one'
This is the one

'This is the one
She’s waited for'

This is the one
Oh this is the one

This is the one
She’s waited for

I’d like to leave the country
For a month of sundays
Burn the town where i was born
If only she’d believe me
Bellona belladonna
Burn me out or bring me home

'And this is the one
She’s waited for'

This is the one

It may go right
But it might go wrong
This is the one

This is the one
She’s waited for

And this is the one
Oh this is the one
Ah this is the one

'This is the one
I’ve waited for'

Devil's Arcade

Remember the morning we dug up your gun
The worms in the barrel, the hangin' sun
Those first nervous evenings perfume and gin
The lost smell on your breath as I helped you get it in
The rush of your lips, the feel of your name
The beat of your heart, the devil's arcade

You said heroes are needed, so heroes get made
Somebody made a bet, somebody paid
The cool desert morning, then nothin' to save
Just metal and plastic where your body caved
The slow games of poker with Lieutenant Ray
In the ward with the blue walls, a sea with no name
Where you lie adrift with the heroes
Of the devil's arcade

You sleep and dream of your buddies Charlie and Jim
And wake with the thick desert dust on your skin

A voice says "Don't worry, I'm here"
Just whisper the word 'tomorrow' in my ear
A house on a quiet street, a home for the brave
The glorious kingdom of the sun on your face
Rising from a long night as dark as the grave
On a thin chain of next moments
And something like faith
On a morning to order, a breakfast to make
A bed draped in sunshine, a body that waits
For the touch of your fingers
The end of a day
The beat of your heart, the beat of your heart
The beat of your heart, the beat of her heart
The beat of your heart, the beat of her heart
The beat of her heart, the slow burning away
Of the bitter fires of the devil's arcade

'Tomorrow'
James

I see you falling
How long to go before you hit the ground?
You keep on screaming
Don't you see me here?
Am I a ghost to you?

Now your grip's too strong
You can't catch love with a net or a gun

Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your luck will change tomorrow
Tomorrow

Why are you phoning?
What am I to do when you're miles away?
You're always calling from the darkest rooms,
And we're both scared

Now your grip's to strong
Can't catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your love will change

Tomorrow

Tomorrow - I'm just out of your range
Tomorrow
All your suffering seems vain
Change
Tomorrow
Some forgiveness now
Love's no sacred cow
Tomorrow
