black orange white and red
dresses hanging off your bed
from now until you reach your grave
baby i will be your slave

ask for your hand to hold
no i could never be so bold
i could never be so brave
baby i will be your slave

lying words like overflow
they'll rule your heart before you know
they'll cover you from head to toe
they'll never mean a word they say
they just go

i'll bring your mother back to life
i'll give your father back his sight
back float in a tidal wave
baby i will be your slave

i had a dream of bleeding skies
crippled legs and static eyes
open land and quiet cave
baby i will be your slave

i love you, don't you trust me
do you love me like i love you
i'm broken lost in misery
but you don't have to worry about me
i have no more soul to save
baby i will be your slave

Ooh I got the oceans here in a little bag
It's in my back pocket, just look for yourself
Yeah, and I got the forests tied up in a little pouch
It's all around my neck, just hanging right here
Ooh I'd like to tell you what I think about you baby but I can't say it
Ooh I'd like to tell you what I think about you baby but I can't say it
Cause I'm a nice guy

Step inside of my new, kinder love
Step inside of my new, kinder love
Me and your heart, we're one and the same

Ooh I got the heavens wrapped up, they're all mine
I lay with the angels and I sleep with the saints
Yeah, and I got the sun wrapped up in a little stash
It's in my top drawer, yeah it's just sitting right there

Ooh I'd like to tell you what I think about you baby but I can't say it
Oh, I'd like to look at you in the eye mother but I can't say it
Cause I'm a nice guy

Step inside of my new, kinder love
Step inside of my new, kinder love
Me and your heart, we're one and the same

Think like you haven't ever
try to remember the days
when we would talk till the light
before morning
your summer neck is burned
with salt and sand
i lost my fingers
trying to find your old hands

in time maybe we'll discover
we could've been closer to the core

think like you haven't ever
try to remember we're dead
now i'm watching you
from far away instead

think like you haven't ever
try to remember we're alive
i haven't slept for three nights
and i seeing things now

aren't you gonna break my fall?

Swear I saw a tear
Swimming down your face
This euphoria
Blossomed out of fear

She follows the one
With the seven eyes
And the forty horns
Twenty-moon twenty-sun

Ahh...

Hate is such a saint (?)
Everything you do
Every time you speak
I bow my head and pray

Beautiful and bad
Strong and sugar-clad
I want you so much
So much that its sad

Ahh...

Now,
I've never been above
Never letting go
Dreaming of your kiss
From so long ago

I sweetened up your tea
And wilder than the wild
Synchrony in blue
Twenty seven miles

Ahh....

Swear I saw a tear
Swimming down your face
This euphoria
Blossomed out of fear

She follows the one
With the seven eyes
And the forty horns
Twenty-moon twenty-sun

I've gotta talk to you, but I'm so sick of words, words, words
My little cloudy sky, the sun is slipping through your hands
My little everything, you know I want to stay with you
I can't undo these knots, I don't know what to say to you
Hey, hey little girl
Crazy, lovely, lost
Hey, hey, where you going?
Crazy, lovely, lost

The east, the east is gone, it went to look for Cherokee
We walked down 34th and I remember your rope hair
My little aching star, whisper to me across the sky

Said hey, hey little girl
Crazy, lovely, lost
Hey, hey, where you going?
Crazy, lovely, lost... lost...

Spirals of you and me crash and collide
Will you whisper to me across the sky?
Should I try to set you free?
Maybe I should just let you be...

So lay it on me, lay it on me now
Yeah lay it on, lay it on me now

Said hey, hey little girl
Crazy, lovely, lost
Hey, hey little girl
Crazy, lovely, lost
Hey, hey, where you going?
Crazy, lovely, lost... lost... lost...

Yeah I got big lips woman, kisses and flames
Don't bother me cause I'm in my own pain
Shirt so tight, skirt so high, in the not-so-sweet bye and bye

But I glow in the dark and I won't sit still
Till my teeth tear apart every scrap of your will
I don't got such a brave lionheart but I glow in the dark

Yeah, charms in her arms, nails scratch voodoo
Don't got no piercings, don't got no tattoo
Stubborn fact and a flightly lie
This obsession is hard to hide

But I glow in the dark and I won't sit still
Till my teeth tear apart every scrap of your will
I don't got such a brave lionheart but I glow in the dark

Yeah, her serpentine ways, I'm seeing clear
She's practicing her smile in my rearview mirror
You see visions and renounce your sin
She likes to listen to the lunatic within
'Cause the hours, they come and the hours, they go
We rise to the sun as the leaves start to grow
Take me back to the inside, with the hours that slip and slide

But I glow in the dark and I won't sit still
Til my teeth tear apart every scrap of your will
I don't got such a brave lionheart but I glow in the dark
And I won't sit still till my teeth tear apart every scrap of your will
I don't got such a brave lionheart but I glow in the dark

I'm not going to the river, I'm not going to sea
I'm not going to the water, everybody knows
When the summer starts to wither, do you know where you will be?
In the clouds or in the water?
I knew you in another life
You were the tears I used to cry
Now you're the stone inside the wave
When you touch me, I float away
I float away (repeat)

I'm not going to the fire
Heaven's warm enough for me
I don't need no holy water
I knew you in another life
You were the tears I used to cry
Now you're the storm inside the wave
When you touch me, I float away
I float away (repeat)

every day i miss the you i used to know
before i let you down
before you let me go
we'd listen to the left side
of the radio

and you were so fine with your train track smile
i fell for your coffee eyes
your half and half
white lies
back around 92
i lost god
i found you
i found you

i found you dancin
with the blissed out brothers
and the dred locked white girls
spinnin like a discoball world yeah
with the extra virgins
and the gold teethed stoners
spinnin like a discoball world yeah

the flowers that we stole from san jancinto
they're in the vodka vases
by the window
i can't forget the date that you forgot me

when you kisses got so vicious

and i fell for your coffee eyes
your half and half
white lies
back around 92
i lost god
i found you
i found you

i found you dancin with the blissed out brothers
and the dred locked white girls
spinnin like a discoball world
yeah, yeah
with the extra virgins
and the laptop loners
spinnin like a disco ball world
yeah, yeah
alright

alright

can i dance with you baby?
can i dance with you? with you

I'm tired of all the lies
I wish I could run away
Your miracles last forever
But forever died yesterday

Now there's nowhere left to go

Still you tell me so
I know, I know
Everywhere I go
I know, I know
Still you tell me so
I know, I know
Everywhere I go
I know, I know

Am I still in your heart?
It's getting kinda hard to tell
In this nightmare you call heaven
In this heaven that I call hell

Now there's nowhere left to go

Still you tell me so
I know, I know
Everywhere I go
I know, I know
Still you tell me so
I know, I know
Everywhere I go
I know, I know

black orange white and red

Garance - yes just like the flower
i've got a lonely message for you
the marionette's in the ballroom laughing
Baptiste the clown
up in the gods now they're laughing
Garance has a heart like a vase
the man has fingers like flowers blooming
bBptiste the clown

Humming this tune that I just heard
a melody I barely know
a song for the children of paradise
Baptiste the clown
asks himself who am I

ah - don't sing only half the song
ah - can't you hear us sing along
yawning words waiting
for the moon to come closer

How can he kill without mercy
just to dress up like a king
under the makeup his face is flooding
Baptiste the clown
says take me home

suffering's not such a blessing
you're everyone and nobody now
the sleepwalker's up on the rooftop waltzing
Baptiste the clown
asks himself who am I

Sadness as she watches her son die
Yeah, he's the only heaven in her sky
Still, where there is shadow of turning
Everything is burning away

Back then, she was too young to say no
[Incomprehensible] and halos
Now she lives in silence and shadows
Ever since she's broken away

In a stranger's room she lost her bloom
She'll never be the same
He left a wound, deep in the womb
And it still hurts today

Sadness as she watches her son die
She's staring at his baby brown eyes
She tells herself that he's getting closer, closer
But everyday, he's slipping away
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh

In a stranger's room she lost her bloom
She's never been the same
He left a wound, deep in the womb
And it still hurts today
Yeah, yeah

Watch that light, watch that sound
Yeah, watch that song spin around

She could think of nothing to say now
She's flying through a forest of blues clouds
Slower than a second movement
And it's all burning away

Yeah, everything is slipping away
Oh yeah, everything is burning away, yeah, yeah
Oh you're slipping away, yeah
Oh, everything is burning away
Oh yeah, everything is burning away

You're my little flower,
Flower, flower.
I remember when
You were in my hands.
Time falls like a shower
When I see you flower.

There's a place where grace will take me to you,
I'll breathe through you.
Under life you'll find me waiting for this:
Pain to end
With your kiss.
Stay another hour
Flower, flower.
Bloom under the light
of the moon tonight.
The only thing I'm sure
Is you're
My little flower.

Someday you will fade, only to blossom,
Wanting, haunting.
Long after your petals die and crumble,
You're still the one I call
My little flower.

You're my little flower,
Flower, flower.
Closer come be near
Winter's almost here.
Time falls like a shower
It's now or never
Flower,
Flower.

When i had dreams
When i was young
Used to hear voices
Used to sing along
I'd play them black keys
And push them pedals down
Used to breathe blessings
All around town
Used to get down
Used to get wild
Used to get holy
Used to start fires
Used to harmonize with the stereo
Now i just drone drone

Used to smile
Used to believe
Used to get jacked up on coffee
Used to say hello what's up
Used to count prime numbers from the bottom up
Used to have manners
When i was a boy
Now i'm just a monster to myself
Vcr clock is blinking twelve twelve twelve
Now i just drone drone

Used to write songs
Used to hum tunes
Sweet melodies, i used to croon
Used to practice. used to rehearse
Used to fast forward
Used to reverse
Used to rewind. used to record
Used to have a fifteen-passenger Ford
Cops searched the van
Took their time from the dairy queen
To the state line
I used to say check check one two on the microphone
Now i just drone drone
