Arcadia

Wild kind of look to the day,
opening eyes impale neon flickers
She moon she turning away,
the city's her slave but he's cheating his mistress

She's moody and grey,
she's mean and she's restless (so restless)
All over you as they say
rumours or rivals yell at the strike force

Hi guys, by the way,
are you aware you're being illegal
It's making your savior behaviour look evil
'scuse my timing but say,
how d'you fit in with this flim, flam and judy

Maximum big suprise your smile is something new
I pull my shirt off and pray,
we're sacred and bound to suffer the heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray
we're coming up on re-election day

Don't even try to induce,
In all my restrain there's no hesitation
All the signs on the loose
'cause sanity's rare this end of the hard day

(yeh)

Shadows are crawling out of the subway
Any way that you choose in every direction
just to confuse me

Maximum big suprise she knows something new
I pull my shirt off and pray,
i'm saving myself to suffer the heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray,
we're coming up on re-election day

By roads and backways
a lover's chance down a wind
Cut open murmurs and sounds
be calm hands on skin
Carry further oh...entangled strands all sing
Saving some time to slip away we could dance oh..

Shouldn't be asking wild and scheming
Could be my election day

Stretching my back down the way
To your invitation stretching my body
Use your intuitive play
cause maybe we have more play time than money

Maximum big suprise you know something new
I pull my shirt off and pray,
we're sacred and bound to suffer this heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray
we're coming up on re-election day

Re-election day

When the evening sunlight's fingers
Stretch across the floor
Cover up your eyes with feathers
Softly close the door
Take me in your heavy lips
Take me where the shadows slide
The lacey intrigue of this weekend
Should not be abused
You can take me where you want
But could you take me all the time
Away yeah oh wait a little longer
Don't go too far
I wouldn't lie
I wouldn't like you
Keeping me in the dark
Tender is the truce I'm tasting
But watching you dictates
Heady nights of sleepless wasting
A face I can't escape
We could wave the world goodbye
To all of the boys cheerio
Away yeah oh wait a little longer
Don't go too far
I wouldn't lie
I wouldn't like you
Keeping me in the dark
Help me cause I'm sinking deeper
Tell me what to say
When without words you call me closer
Each time you turn away
Something inside you cries
But it is something I'll never find
Away yeah oh wait a little longer
Don't go too far
I wouldn't lie
I wouldn't like to think you were
Keeping me in the dark

Sometimes you have no choice
Sometimes you've got no voice to say
Say if you will the words
Say if your world is so gray

We can decide this
There'll be no tears no tradgedy
Sure I wouldn't break and cry, if
You walk away believe me

Hey, goodbye, goodbye is forever
Hey, forever, goodbye is forever and ever

Sometimes it makes no sense,
This side of cruel coincidence
Caught up in our own barbed wire
To set us free belive this

Hey, goodbye, goodbye is forever
Hey, forever, goodbye is forever and ever, ohh

Hey, goodbye, goodbye is forever
Hey, forever, goodbye is forever and ever
Goodbye, goodbye is forever
Hey, forever, goodbye is forever and ever

I could feel the breeze blowing change
Blowing through my doorway
Warm and restless just as you walked by
Inside of smoky halls
A circle drawn
And voices call
To raise some magic wind in my world
Strange coincidence each time you look my way
This sinking feeling scares me
Know my weakness call it dejavu
Never puy my trust in fate
Suprises do arrive so late
Why should I be suprised by you

Straight to the heart straight for this precious shining
How do you dare
Step into my flame
One from the heart, one for this precious shining
How can you steel my flame

Sometimes cards are drawn and the tables turn
The waiting game is over
Take this dealers hand and steal away the dawn
Never give me any chance to wander back from this innocence
Don't give me any chances at all


Straight to the heart straight for this precious shining
How do you dare
Step into my flame
One from the heart, one for this precious shining
How can you steel my flame
My flame
My flame

And as I wander down to where you lay
The blood rushed up to meet
The roses in your hair
I thought I saw you smile
But now I don't see you anywhere
Whispering your love song in my ear
How can you touch me
When you're not really there

Stumbling out I made my way towards the open door
Climbing fast the sun broad streaming
Laughter down into your empty gaze
Where can I find you
Now I want to join in your games
I hear you calling
I hear you calling, calling, calling, calling
(Calling, calling, calling)
Whispering your love song in my ear
How can you touch me
How do you really dare

Whose tears on a gaping voice
Who's stretching arms match
The hunger of mine
There lips will they never join
But always draw me closer
And further entwined
With a promise dealer understand
All freedoms fade away
To a point of view
Where many different pathways meet
And we're standing on this precipice
With nothing much to gain save
But the deep blue screams
Of falling dreams
With our next move
Heaven hide your eyes
Heaven's eyes will never dry
The shades of a thousand steel
Come flashing by my face
In the fury of war
In desolation and abandoned fields
The hungry make their stand
When they'll stand for no more
Hear the passion in their voices
See the heaven in their eyes
Their hopes and schemes are waiting
Dreams of less than paradise
And sometimes we make promises
We never mean to keep
For blackmail is the only deal
A promise dealer sees
Heaven hide your eyes
Heaven's eyes will never dry

Enter newborn players and gather
Weigh their innocence
Only the brightest shine
But not forever
Many lights die
Many tears rain
When those tears run dry
On a mountain madness day

You were just in time
For a foolish deal
A lover sold
I can't stand another howling day
Inside of this empty skin

While the beacons burn a flame
Please return from so far away

One life with the devil do I play
For so long el Diablo is to blame

Oh el Diablo, el Diablo, won't you sell me back my soul
Oh el Diablo, el Diablo, won't you sell me back my soul

Weddings on the wind, will she blow my way
He can dance and she can sing
She will tear your heart away
While the promise burns a flame
And will you return from so far away

One life with the devil do I play
For so long, el Diablo is to blame
One life with the devil do I play
For so long, el Diablo is to blame
One life but the devil is in my way

Lady Ice slips into her soul
Lady Ice leaves a house so cold
Lady Ice did you know
That the world was lonely too
Drifting snows
Searching plains and high
TUrning stones as she looks
For the heart somebody stole
She knows the violation
In lovers arms without occasion
But who knows where to find
A true heart for Lady Ice
Mesmerised
In the candle flame
Compromised by the cruel bands
Of steel around her breasts
She knows the desolation
Of lover's arms their isolation
But who knows where to find
A true heart for Lady Ice
Lady's eyes slip away
To the part she plays in school
She knows of roles and hideaways
Suppose she knows but turns away
SHe knows where to find
A true heart for Lady Ice
Lady Ice
Step outside your soul
lady Ice do you know
That the world is frightened too

Wild kind of look to the day
Opening eyes impale neon flickers
She moon, she turning away
The city's her slave
He's cheating his mistress
She's moody and grey,
She's mean and she's restless
(So restless, so restless indeed)

All over you as they say
Rumours or rivals yell at the strike force

(By roads and back ways a lover's chance, down a wind
Curtain murmurs and sounds be calm hands on skin
Carry further.. entangled strands.. all sing!
Time, saving some time to slip away we could die )

Oh! shouldn't be asking... (why)
Wild and scheming
Could be my election day

Re-election day

When the evening's sunlight fingers
Stretch across the floor
Cover up your eyes with feathers
Softly close the door
Take me in your heavy lips
Take me where the shadows lye

Hunting fast and loose
The lacy intrigue of this weekend
Should not be abused

You could take me where you want
Could you take me all the time

Away, yeah
Wait a little longer
Don't go to far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark

Away, yeah

Don't go to far
I wouldn't like

Help me now I'm slipping deeper
Tell me what to say
When without words you call me closer
Each time you turn away
Something inside you cries
But is it something I'll never find

Away, yeah
Wait a little longer
Don't go to far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark

Away, yeah
Wait a little longer
Before we go to far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like to think you
Were keeping me in the dark

Sometimes you have no choice
Sometimes you've got no voice to say
Say if you will the words
Say if your world is so gray
We can decide this
There'll be no tears
No tradgedy
Try I wouldn't break and cry, if
You walk away
and leave me

Hey, goodbye
Goodbye is forever

Goodbye is
Forever and ever

Sometimes it makes no sense
This side of cruel coincidence
Caught up in our own barbed wire
To set us free
Belive this

Lady Ice slips into her soul
Lady Ice leaves a house so cold
Lady Ice did you know that the world was lonely too?

Drifting snow
Searching flames and hide
Burning stones as she looks
For the heart somebody stole

She knows the violations
Lovers' arms without occasion
Who knows where to find a true heart
For Lady Ice

Mezmerized in the candle flame
Compromised by the cruel bands of steel around her breast

She knows the desolation
Lovers' arms, their isolation
Who knows where to find a true heart
For Lady Ice?

Lady's eyes slip away
From the part she plays in school

She knows of roles and hide-aways
Suppose she knows the time's away?
She knows where to find a true heart for Lady Ice...
