Crooked Fingers - Red Devil Dawn (2003) by Crooked Fingers (보컬) on maniadb.com

Dead in the sun and covered in glue
There is a town where nothing moves
Nobody works and nobody plays
And all of their dreams have melted away
All of their hopes have come and gone
Even the vultures have moved on
They say a hero's coming soon
With ivory lungs like huge balloons

There ain't no moon and there ain't no stars
Over the land of endless scars
Covered in brown and coming undone
We are what we will not become
Only a rundown rusty still
Runs through a town that has no will
But they say a hero's coming soon
He's coming to take a giant breath
Into his lungs and blow away the sun

I saw a vulture swarming up above a dying crowd
Above the villains and the heroes and the down-and-out
To snag the carrion and leeches and to stake their claim
Before the darkness has a chance to wash it all away
And if the evening ever comes maybe it'll set things right
'Cause in the dark even the blind can feel a speck of light
I'm looking for a sign to show but it don't ever come
I'm waiting for the dark to fall and wash away the sun

There ain't no heat and there ain't no light
Only the black hole of our eyes
Caught in an overcrowded room
Waiting for its set and two moves
But out in the distance there's a glow
That nobody sees so nobody knows
Well they say a hero's coming soon
He's coming to take a giant breath of air
Into his lungs and blow away the sun

I saw a vulture swarming up above a dying crowd
Above the villains and the heroes and the down-and-out
To snag the carrion and leeches and to stake their claim
Before the darkness has a chance to wash it all away
'Cause if the evening ever comes maybe it'll set things right
'Cause in the dark even the blind can feel a speck of light
I'm looking for a sign to show but it don't ever come
I'm waiting for the dark to fall and wash away the sun

Don't say a word.
Don't tell me what you heard
There's something tonight,
Thats killing soft and slight.

Here it comes again,
Lining up to place its bid.
To take a little peice of her and throw it away,
'Till there aint anything left.

No need to lie,
Don't tell her that it's allright.
Theres tears in the wine
Now falling down from her eyes
Theres some awful things,
To eachother that we can do.

And that people think that something good can come from them,
Well people then they're just fools.

They say you learn,
The more it burns,
But what good does that do?
If what you learn, don't help to bring,
The one you lost back to you?

There ain't no easy way to lose the heart,
You call your own.
And there aint no easy way to make you feel okay,
But baby you're all that you own.

Don't make a move,
There's nothing now you can do.
Those tears in the wine.
Have burrowed down in her spine.
Here they come again,
Fallin like a driving rain
To take a little peice of her and wash away,
Till nothing left can be saved.

They say you learn,
The more it burns,
But what good does that do?
If what you learn, don't help to bring,
The one you lost, back to you?

There aint no easy way to lose the heart, you called your own.
And there aint no easy way to make you feel okay,
Cuz baby you're all that you own.
And there aint no easy way to make it feel okay,
Cuz baby you're all that you own.

Blue eyes of fire
Sweet desire
Is bitter torture
You are no father's daughter
No man has this much to offer

Skin dark as sin
Soft and when
We took cover
From the rain and the thunder
Under stain glass we did slumber
'Til the sun came out to blind us
So we could not see anything
So we knew at once we were meant to be
And we heard the gods all rise and say
The love we made was no lie

And with thirty years of hopes and fears
Breathing down my neck
Such a sad, sad thing I set you free
'Cause I can't get you back
You are fire, you are water
And when you dance it is torture
And maybe some night by the great light of the dawn
We can meet

Tangled, entwined
We have climbed
We have wrangled
Shiny sequins sparked and spangled
Our hearts iron cuffed and mangled

We spent the night
By the side
Of the water
Past the breakers and the markers
We swam out into the darkness
'Til we could not fell the bottom
'Til we could not feel anything
And the shoreline slowly drifted out of reach
As the moon shown down and the ocean heaved
And darkness gave to the light

And with thirty years of hopes and fears
Breathing down my neck
Such a sad, sad thing I set you free
'Cause I can't get you back
You are fire, you are water
And when you dance it is torture
And maybe someday in the bottom of the ocean
We can meet
But we know if we do we can never leave
'Cause the moment that we turn away
The gods will have seen
The love we made was a lie

Don't you know, there's a bad man coming?
Creeping down through the spanish moss, and trees.
Rising up hear the black heart pounding.
Through the dark as you drift gently in deep sleep.
Oh here he comes by the light of the dull grey 'morn.
Brave men talk but a brave man has no use.
A hero is only a lucky fool, you see.
And lately your luck has been as bad as bad can be.
It seems like we've seen him come before,
It seems like we've seen him go.
And just when you think, that you've seen them all,
Another bad man shows.
Up killing what you adore,
There's no telling what's in store,
Just sit tight, there aint nothin you can do.
Cuz tonight, tonight a bad man is coming for you.
Yes tonight, little darling a bad man is coming for you.
Yes tonight tonight a bad man is coming for you.

I lifted you up,
You pulled me down.
You turned into some sacred cow.
Unchanging, you froze in the dark,
I threw you fire,
You threw a spark.
I found a way to let you go,
You light the fuse,
And I explode.
Your broken heart pressed on my back,
So weak the way that you react.
You never finish anything,
Too scared to fail, to want to leave
Your heart too weak to try again,
[unintelligible line]

And every day you cling to your walls,
It's your little world that is remaining small.
So don't you go claiming how I did you wrong,
When you were the one doing nothing at all.

So out of range, so out of reach,
You cleaned my shackles out with bleach.
I make you off as you send an old lord.
And I found a way to let you go.
You kept your pleasure in my sleeve,
And blamed your failure all on me.
Your broken heart leeched on my back,
So sad the weak way you react.
You never build a goddamn thing,
To scared to fail, to walk, to weep.
Your heart too weak to try again,
Yes I will build them dark and dim.

And every day, you cling to your walls,
It's your little world that is remaining small,
So don't go claiming how I did you wrong,
When you were the one doing nothing at all.
And every day, you cling to your walls,
It's your little world that is becoming small.
So don't you go claiming how I did you wrong
When you were the one who did nothing at all.

Drinking sparkling wine,
And sniffing glue.
I've been looking for some soft abuse.
Maybe your big brother,
He dont see it that way.
But he aint the one, who tonight I'm gonna meet.
Cuz tonight, tonight, I swear, I'm heading down to make my stand.
With that other boy, you call your new man.
Way up from the bottom, I'm gonna hit the street.
And scare that child so hard, till he's out of your reach.
So you and I can leave now, while your other love's away.
I know you would never cheat with anyone but me.
Its easy now for you,
Cuz you dont have to choose,
And there aint no way that he can touch you now.

My Sweet Marie.
My Sweet Marie.

You and I can go down where nobody else will be,
I know you will never cheat with anyone but me
Theres nothing left to do
We're hidden out of view
And there aint no way that they can reach us now.

Drinking sparkling wine and cheap perfume,
I've been lookin for some soft abuse.
Baby your new boy, he dont see it that way.
But tonight, I swear, I'm gonna set that pussy bastard straight.
So you can I can leave now while your other love's away.
I know you could never cheat now with anyone but me.
Its easy now for you, cuz you dont have to choose,
And there aint no way that you can touch him now.

My Sweet Marie.
My Sweet Marie.
My Sweet Marie.
My Sweet Marie.

Angelina, out of reach there's no reason now for you to run.
Angelina, there's no meaning to all the bad things that were done.

There's just a meanness that's creeping, as you lie there sleeping, that's sneaking around in the dark.
So in the morning you'll wake to a pounding that could break your weak brittle world all apart.

There's no reason there for you to know.
There ain't no reason why they always walk away.
No good reason they seize you, disease you, then leave you undone.
So Angelina don't think for one moment you've done something wrong.

Angelina, as you weep in your sleep there's an ivory glow.
And Angelina, you can choose win or lose where your new heart will go.

There will be empty spaces where holes fill the places that your sad eyes want youse to see.
And in the mirror you traces lines you can not erase when your life that you used to lead.

There are good things now coming your way,
And the good things now are gonna stay,
And the good things that stay will all shine as you walk in the sun.

Oh Angelina, what you think is over is only begun.
Angelina, what you think is over is only begun.
