You're the night, Lilah
A little girl lost in the woods You're a folktale The unexplainable You're a bedtime story The one that keeps the curtains closed I hope you're waiting for me 'Cause I can't make it on my own I can't make it on my own It's too dark to see the landmarks And I don't want your good luck charms I hope you're waiting for me Across your carpet of stars You're the night, Lilah You're everything that we can't see Lilah You're the possibility You're the bedtime story The one that keeps the curtains closed And I hope you're waiting for me 'Cause I can't make it on my own I can't make it on my own Unknown the unlit world of old You're the sounds I've never heard before Off the map where the wild things grow Another world outside my door Here I stand I'm all alone Driving down the pitch black road Lilah you're my only home And I can't make it on my own You're a bedtime story The one that keeps the curtains closed I hope you're waiting for me 'Cause I can't make it on my own I can't make it on my own |

Is this the way that you like it?
Is this what you had in mind when you called above to the angels for the six hundred and sixty sixth time? Hey, what about this? What about this. Shake it. What do you want and how do you like it? How many times is this the right socket? What do I wear and what do I say? Please tell me again how we get there. Please tell me again how we get there. So many ways to get a lift. So many ways to get your head unzipped. Too late for anymore questions. The preamble is done. The overture's ended. The drawbridge is up. Cat's out of the bag and looking for a sofa to scratch. Looking for a sofa to scratch. This the way that you like it. This what you had in mind when you called above to the angels for the six hundred and sixty sixth time. Hey, what about this? What about this. What about this. Shake it. So many ways to get a lift. So many ways to get your head unzipped. So many ways to get a lift. So many ways to get your head unzipped. So many ways to get a lift. So many ways to get your head unzipped. (Mark talking backwards for a second) |

I remember meeting you, we were super low. Surrounded by the sounds of saxophones.
And I remember being this close, but never alone. You gave me a little something to take home. I dropped it on the floor. I dropped it on the floor. Dropped it on the floor. I dropped it If I can only remember the name that's enough for me because names hold the key. Names hold key. If I can only remember the name that's enough for me because names hold the key. Names hold key. Souvenir of nothing. Brought home a souvenir of nothing. It fits into a pocket. A souvenir a souvenir of nowhere. Somewhere I've never been before. I dropped it on the floor. I dropped it on the floor. Dropped it on the floor. I dropped it If I can only remember the name that's enough for me because names hold the key. Names hold key. If I can only remember the name that's enough for me because names hold the key. Names hold key. A souvenir of nothing. A souvenir of nothing. I remember meeting you, we were super low. Surrounded by the sounds of saxophones. |

First we'll pick Priscilla up. And then we'll stop for Jane.
And Mary Ellen needs a ride. We're going by her place. We're going to a party. Our friends will all be there. I got the directions. It's across the river somewhere. We rang the top floor, bottom buzzer. Top floor, bottom buzzer. Top floor, bottom buzzer. The middle won't work. Ring the one under. Priscilla's in the kitchen she's mixing drinks. She's mixing one for me I think. And one for Mary Ellen and one for Jane. Priscilla, she knows how to use a shaker. She doesn't get up as early as a baker. Uh huh. There's a muchacha, teaching me to mambo. There's my buddy Pete eyeing a bowl of combos. Ramona and a man do a tango dip. Cheek to cheek, hip to hip, come on. The window's open it's the heart of the summer. More people coming looking for the number. Mary Ellen sees them she has a little stutter. She yells... T-top floor, b-bottom buzzer. Top floor, bottom buzzer. Top floor, bottom buzzer. Top floor, bottom buzzer. The middle won't work. Ring the one under. Come on. Woo. It was later it was after two. We found a bottle of good chartreuse. The lights were green and gold. We played Latin soul. By the time Priscilla put the Al Green on the bottle was gone. On the top floor, bottom buzzer. Top floor, bottom buzzer. Top floor, bottom buzzer. The middle won't work. Ring the one under. Come on. Woo. Top floor, bottom buzzer. Top floor, bottom buzzer. Top floor, bottom buzzer. The middle won't work. Ring the one under. Come on. Woo. |

Like a mirror I'm nothing. I'm nothing. I'm nothing till you look at me.
I'm like a mirror. I'm like a mirror. I'm nothing till you look at me. I'm like a mirror. I'm like a mirror. I'm nothing till you look at me. I'm like a mirror. I'm like a mirror. I'm nothing till you look at me. Martha Lee. Leave your world, come to me. I'm closer to you than I seem. Wish upon this melody and come to me Martha Lee. Leave your world and join me soon. Leave your world behind. You can take the Saturn Line. In no time, no time. I know a ship that's leaving soon. Oh, in fact this afternoon. So don't forget your parachute. I'll be there to catch you. And you my future constellation. Climb up here in the sky with me. Leave your world and come to me. I'm closer to you than I seem. Oh, wish upon this melody and come to me. Come to me. Leave your world and join me soon. Martha Lee. Martha Lee. I know a ship that's leaving soon. In fact this very afternoon. So don't forget your parachute and I'll be there to catch you. I'm like a mirror. I'm like a mirror. I'm nothing till you look at me. I'm like a mirror. I'm like a mirror. I'm nothing till you look at me. |

She painted a bull's eye on my mind.
No matter how I moved her aim was never high. I guess that was what I needed at the time. A good woman is hard to find. A good woman is hard to find. A good woman is hard to find. A good woman is hard to find. She was heavy, on the back beat. See played me just like a tambourine. Well, she took me to church, prayed till it hurt. A good woman is hard to find. A good woman is hard to find. I'll live to love another one more time. A good woman is hard to find. She was a helluva woman, from a helluva town. She took me all the way, it was a long way down. She makes me wonder, wonder, all day long. Can a good woman, ever be found? Can a good woman, never be found? She was beauty and adventure. She seemed so glad to be alive. I want to be happy, but not all the time. A good woman is hard to find. A good woman is hard to find. I'll live to love another one more time. A good woman is hard to find. She wrapped me up. Saved me for later. Left me no way to penetrate her. Guess that was what I needed at the time. A good woman is hard to find. A good woman is hard to find. I'll live to love another one more time. A good woman is hard to find. |

Hand over hand up the lifeline, luckily the knots stay tight.
Silhouettes of the two of us climbing, climbing up a rope on fire. Climbing up a rope on fire. Trapped in a room in a fortress, running outta air to breathe. Only seconds to go and we'll break free, I didn't think that we would reach. Only the two of us can disconnect the bomb. And save ourselves before the oxygen is gone. I'll call for backup, you start to scream. It's not the first time we've been in this dream. She ripped the wings right off my back. She whispered deep, keep it on the track. She said you're no angel, no angel anymore. All the wheels are coming loose. Close-up shot of a burning fuse. The sky is filled with question marks. Will the chains come apart? These few seconds that I've left to go. Flames and chaos down below. And the earth opens wide. Got to climb a rope on fire. Look at the clock. Look at the clock. Make it to the car but the car won't start. Me try to move the car but there's no more time. We'll have to climb a rope on fire. Hand over hand up the lifeline, luckily the knots stay tight. Silhouettes of the two of us climbing, climbing up a rope on fire. Climbing up a rope on fire. Climbing up a rope on fire. Only the two of us can disconnect the bomb. Then save ourselves before the oxygen is gone. I'll call for backup. You start to scream. It's not the first time we've been in this dream. |

On my fingertips. On the tip of my tongue.
I register your every touch. I hear your smell. I hear your smile. Fast as light. Two hundred miles. And all across that line. Stretched between your bed and mine. All alone just for tonight. I'm yours and you're mine. I got birds that shiver in a forest so thick. I got hands full of magic tricks. And I'll part those branches with my hands. Clear the land mines from your path. And all across that line. Stretched between your bed and mine. All alone just for tonight. I'm yours and you're mine. And all across that line. Stretched between your bed and mine. All alone just for tonight. I'm yours and you're mine. On my fingertips on the tip of my tongue. I register your every touch. I'll row the boat across the lake. We got smoke, we got perfume in our wake. And all across that line. Stretched between your bed and mine. All alone just for tonight. I'm yours and you're mine. |

No there's nothing too romantic about the way we met.
That's not to say it doesn't make a certain sense. Maybe it's just the kind of people that we are. That's not to say whether it's right or wrong. It's not right or wrong. It's not right or wrong. There's no cute story that we tell together. Laughing and finishing each other's sentences so charmingly. Truth is it was all an accident. Just like it is for everybody else. But then again it was all and accident. Just like the way it is for everybody else. Later we had toast, took turns sitting on the windowsill. Like two fields of wheat, sent signals cross the kitchen sharp and sweet. There's no cute story about the way we met. We just woke up one day in bed. Shouted out for alarm clocks. Where's the remote control? Put the blankets and the chairs against the windows and doors. And stayed close together, trying to stay warm, oh. Now there's nothing too romantic about the way we met. That's not to say it doesn't make a certain sense. Maybe it's just the kind of people that we are. It's gone to far to be right or wrong. Now, now, now, now. |

You want to begin again. Pretend you're innocent.
If you believe, you can convince yourself. I'm sure you can convince yourself. This town never gave you much back. Just rumors and a whispering attack. This town is not your friend. Never mind the loose ends. Take me with you when you go now. Don't leave me alone. I can't live without you. Take me with you, take me with you when you go. And I don't care about the things I leave at home. Cause things can't really keep you company when you're alone now. You want to burn your bridges? I'll help you start the fire. You want to disappear? I got the manual right here. You say you want my help? I can't help myself. You want my help? I can't help myself. Take me with you when you go now. (take me with you take me with you) Don't leave me alone. (don't leave me alone) I can't live without you. Take me with you, take me with you when you go. Take me with you when you go now. (take me with you take me with you) Don't leave me alone. (don't leave me alone) I can't live without you. Take me with you, take me with you when you go. Ahh. (take me with you take me with you) You want to begin again. Pretend you're innocent. If you believe. You can convince yourself, I'm sure. You can convince yourself. Take me with you when you go now. (take me with you take me with you) Don't leave me alone. (don't leave me alone) I can't live without you. Take me with you, take me with you when you go. Ahh. Take me with you when you go now |
