Interpol

I wish I could eat the salt off of your lost faded lips
we can cap the old times make playing only logical harm
we can cap the old lines clay-making that nothing else will change
well she can read she can read she can read she can read she's bad
she can read she can read she can read she's bad
oh she's bad
but it’s different now
that I’m poor and ageing
I’ll never see this face again
you'll go stabbing yourself in the neck
we could find new ways of living make playing only logical harm
we could top the old times clay-making and nothing else will change
but she can read she can read she can read she can read she's bad
she can read she can read she can read she's bad
oh she's bad
it's different now that I’m poor and ageing
I’ll never see this place againyou'll go stabbing yourself in the neck
but it's different now that I’m poor and ageing
I’ll never see this place again
you'll go stabbing yourself in the neck
it's in the way that she poses
it's in the things that she puts in my hair
her stories are boring and stuff
she’s always calling my bluff
she puts the she puts the weights into my little heart
and she gets in my room and she takes it apart
she puts the weights into my little heart
I say she puts the weights into my little heart
she packs it away
it’s in the way that she was
her heaven is never enough
she puts the weights in my heart
she puts the she puts the weights into my little heart

I had seven faces thought
i knew which one to wear
I'm sick of spending
these lonely nights training myself not to care
the subway is a porno pavements they are a mess
i know you've supported me for a long time
somehow i'm not impressed
New York Cares
(got to be some more change in my life)
New York Cares
(got to be some more change in my life)
New York Cares
(got to be some more change in my life)
New York Cares
(got to be some more change in my life)
subway she is a porno and the pavements
they are a mess
i know you've supported me for a long time
somehow i'm not impressed
It's up to me now turn on the bright lights
It's up to me now turn on the bright lights
New York Cares
(got to be some more change in my life)
New York Cares
(got to be some more change in my life)
New York Cares
(got to be some more change in my life)
New York Cares (
got to be some more change in my life)
It's up to me now turn on the bright lights
(got to be some more change in my life)
oh, It's up to me now turn on the bright lights
(got to be some more change in my life)

yours is the only version of my desertion that
I could ever subscribe to
that is all that I can do
you are a past sinner the last winner
I'm raking all around me
until the last drop is behind you
you're so cute when you're frustrated, dear
you're so cute when you're sedated, dear
i'm resting
sleep tight, grim right,
we have two hundred couches
where you can sleep tight, grim right,
we have two hundred couches
where you can sleep tight, grim right,
we have two hundred couches
where you can sleep tonight, s
leep tonight, sleep tonight, sleep tonight
you are the only person who’s completely certain
there’s nothing here to be into
that is all that you can do
you are a past dinner, t
he last sinner and everything
we've come to makes you you
and you cannot safely say w
hile I will be away
that you will not consider sadly
how you hurt me this free
you will not reach me
I am resenting a position
that is past resentment now
I can consider now
there is this distance so
sleep tight, grim right,
we have two hundred couches
where you can sleep tight, grim right,
we have two hundred couches
where you can sleep tight, grim right,
we have two hundred couches
where you can sleep tonight,
sleep tonight, sleep tonight, sleep tonight
something to say
something to do
nothing to say
when there's nothing to do

I want your silent parts
the parts that the birds love
I know there’s such a place
I had my back turned,
you didn’t realize I’m lonely
You lack the things
o which I relate
But I see no harm.
Come ‘way, come ‘way, come ‘way
It’s over.
And 1, 2, 3
When I’m feeling lazy,
it's probably because
I’m saving all my energy to pick up w
hen you
Move into my airspace
Move into my airspace
Something’s coming over me
I see you in the doorway
I cannot control the part of me
that swells up when you
Move into my airspace
Move into my airspace
But each night,
I bury my love around you
Oh each night,
I bury my love around you
You're linked to my innocence
This is a concept
This is a bracelet
This isn’t no intervention
This is a concept
This is a bracelet
This isn’t no intervention
This isn't you yet
What you thought was such a conquest
Your hair is so pretty and red
Baby, baby, you're really the best
Can I get to this way, I think so
Can I get to this way, I think so
Can I get to this way?
Can I get to this way?
Can I get to this way?
Can I get to this way?
We should take a trip now
to see new places
I'm sick of this town and
I've seen my faces change
We should take a trip
to see new places
I'm sick of this town,
I've seen my faces change
(each night I bury my love around you)
Say hello, say hello to the angels
Say hello, say hello to the angels

Will you put my hands away?
Will you be my man?
Serve it up, don't wait
Let's see about this ham
oh, what happened?
oh, what happened?
Home spun desperation's knowing
Inside your cover's always blown

When she walks down the street
she knows there’s people watching
the building fronts are just fronts
to hide the people watching her
she once fell through the street
down the manhole in a that bad way
the underground drip
it's just like her scuba days
days
daze
days
daze
she was all right
cause the sea was so airtight
she broke away
she was all right
cause the sea was so airtight
she broke away
she was all right
but she can't come out tonight
she broke away
she was all right
yeah the sea was so tight, air-tight
she broke away broke away
she broke away broke away
she broke away broke away
she broke away
stella
bottom of the ocean she dwells
bottom of the ocean she dwells
from crevices carressed by fingers
and fat blue serpent swells
stella
stella
oh stella
stella i love you stella
i love you stella i love you
she was all right
cause the sea was so airtight
she broke away
she was all right
cause the sea was so airtight
she broke away
she was all right
but she can't come out tonight
she broke away
she was all right
yeah the sea was so tight, air-tight
she broke away broke away
she broke away broke away
she broke away broke away
she broke away
well she was my catatonic sex toy
love-joy diver
well she was my catatonic sex toy
love-joy diver
she went down down down
there into the sea
she went down down down
there down there for me
right on
oh yeah
right on
it’s so good
oh yeah
right on
it’s so good
oh yeah
there's something that's invisible
there's some things you can't hide
try to detect you when i'm sleeping
in a wave you say goodbye

shhhh
c'mon, c'mon
my best friend's a butcher,
he has sixteen knives
he carries them all over the town
at least he tries oh
look it stopped snowing
my best friend's from Poland and
oh he has a beard
but they caught him with his case
in a public place
that is what we had feared
he severed segments and secretely
liked that
he always had the time to speak with me
I liked him for that
he severed segments and secretely liked that
he always took the time
he always took the time
c'mon now pussycat
my best friend's a butcher,
he has sixteen knives

I liked him for that
he severed segments and secretely

he was growing on me

I wish I could live free
I hope it's not beyond me
Settling down, it takes time
One day we'll live together
And life will be better
I have it here, yeah, in my mind
Baby, you know someday you'll slow
And baby, my heart's been breaking

'Cause I gave a lot to you
I take a lot from you, too
You slave a lot for me
Guess you could say I gave you my edge

But I can't pretend
I need to defend
Some part of me from you
I know I've spent some time lying
I can't pretend
I don't need to defend
Some part of me from you
I know I've spent some time lying

How am I doing?

You're looking all right tonight
I think we should go

She says it helps
with the lights out
Her rabid glow is
like braille to the night.
She swears
I’m a slave to the details
But if your life is such a big joke,
why should I care?
The clock is set for nine
but you know you’re gonna make it eight.
So that you two can take some time,
teach each other to reciprocate.
She feels that my sentimental side s
hould be held with kid gloves
But she doesn’t know that
I left my urge in the icebox
She swears I’m just prey to the female,
Well then hook me up and throw me,
baby cakes, cuz I like to get hooked.
The clock is set for nine but you know
you’re gonna make it eight.
All the people that you’ve loved
they’re all bound to leave some keepsakes.
I’ve been swinging all the time,
think it’s time to learn your way.
I picture you and me together
in the jungle it would be ok.
I’ll bring you when my lifeboat sails
through the night
That is supposing that
you don’t sleep tonight
It’s like learning a new a language
Helps me catch up on my mime
If you don’t bring up those lonely parts
This could be a good time
It’s like learning a new language
You come here to me
We’ll collect those lonely parts
and set them down
You come here to me
She says brief things,
her love’s a pony
My love’s subliminal
She says brief things,
her love’s a pony

And we're gone
We're going
We're going
We're going
And we're gone

So baby make it with me
In preparation for tonight
We've got so much to leave
But that's not what makes this right
We've been building up steam
Ignited by this fight
So do this thing with me instead of
Tying on a tight one tonight

We're going
We're going
We're going
And we're gone

We ain't going to the town
We're going to the city
Gonna trek this shit around
And make this place a heart to be a part of again

Rosemary
Heaven restores you in life
You're coming with me
Through the aging, the fearing, the strife
It's the smiling on the package
It's the faces in the sand
It's the thought that moves you upwards
Embracing me with two hands
Right will take you places
Yeah maybe to the beach
When your friends they do come crying
Tell them now your pleasure's set upon slow release

Hey wait
Great smile
Sensitive to fate, not
Denial
But hey, who's on trial?

It took a lifespan with no cellmate
The long way back
Saying, why can't we look the other way?

He speaks about a travel
Yeah we think about the land
We smart like all peoples
Feeling real tan
I could take you places
Where you need a new man?
Wipe the pollen from the faces
Make revision to a dream while you wait in the van

Hey wait
Great smile
Sensitive to fate, not
Denial
But hey, who's on trial?

It took a lifespan with no cellmate
Find the long way back
Sandy, why can't we look the other way?
You're weightless, you are exotic
You need something for which to care
Saying, why can't we look the other way?

Leave some shards under the belly
Lay some grease inside my hand
It's a sentimental jury
And the makings of a good plan
You've come to love me lightly
Yeah you've come to hold me tight
Is this motion everlasting
Or do shudders pass in the night?

Rosemary
Oh, heaven restores you in life

I spent a lifespan with no cellmate
A long way back
Saying, why can't we look the other way?
You're weightless, semi-erotic
You need someone to take you there
Saying, why can't we look the other way?
Why can't we just play the other game?
Why can't we just look the other way?

Touch your thighs, I'm the lonely one
Remember that last sweat 'cause that was the right one
Oh, all your mysteries are moving in the sun
And show some love and respect
Wanna get some love and respect
Baby you can see that the gazing eye won't lie
Don't give up your lover tonight
'Cause it's just you, me and this wire, alright
Let's tend to the engine tonight

She found a lonely sound
She keeps on waiting for time out there
Oh love, can you love me babe
Love, is this loving babe
Is time turning around

Feast your eyes, I'm the only one
Control me, console me
'Cause that's just how it should be done
Oh, all your history's like fire from a busted gun
I show some love and respect
Don't wanna get a life of regret

But baby you can see that the gazing eye won't lie
Don't give up your lover tonight

She found a lonely sound
She keeps on waiting for time out there
Oh love, can you love me babe
Love, is this loving babe
Is time turning around

He slips into the bedroom, baby
You know me, this is all right
Old names, we'll make soon
Will sustain us through the night
Inside my bedroom baby
Touch me, oh tonight
Poses we'll make soon
Will reveal our sense of right

You should be in my space
You should be in my life
You should be in my space
You should be in my life
You could be in my space

I'm timeless like a broken watch
I make money like Fred Astaire
I see that you've come to resist me
I'm a pitbull in time
Your pretense is not what restricts me
It's the circles inside
The anatomy of kisses and a teacher who tries
Who knows how we'll disappear?
Would you like to be my missus and in future with child?
You know we can't get back from here
But we can get away

Baby don't you try to find me
Baby don't you try to fight
Baby don't you try to find me
Baby it will be alright

Along the way tears drown in the wake of delight
There's nothing like this built today
You'll never see a finer ship in your life
We sail today, tears drown in the wake of delight
There's nothing like this built today
You'll never see a finer ship or receive a better tip in your life

I am the scavenger between the sheets of union
Lately I can't tell for sure whether machines turn anyone

Lady don't you try to find me
Lady there is no need to fight
Lady don't you try to find me
Lady it will be alright

We sail today, tears will drown in your wake of delight
There's nothing like this built today
You'll never see a finer ship in your life
Along the way the sea will crowd us with lovers at night
There's nothing like this built today
You'll never see a finer ship or receive a better tip in your life

I see that you've come to resist me
I'm a pitbull in time

White Goddess
Red Goddess
Black Temptress of the sea
You treat me right
Black Goddess
Red Goddess
White Temptress of the sea
You treat me right

Oh my love, we're sailing to Norway
Oh my love, we're sailing tonight

Nobody searches
Nobody cares somehow
When the loving that you've wasted
Comes raining from a hapless cloud
Then I might stop and look upon your face
Disappear in the sweet sweet gaze
See the living that surrounds me
Dissipate in a violent blaze

Can't you see what you've done to my heart and soul
This is a wasteland now

We spies we slow hands
You put the weights all around your self
We spies oh yeah we slow hands
You put the weights all around your self now

I submit my incentive is romance
I watch the pole dance of the stars
We rejoice because the hurting is so painless
From the distance of passing cars
But I am married to your charms and grace
I just feel crazy like the good old days
You make me want to pick up a guitar
And celebrate the myriad ways that I love you

Can't you see what you've done to my heart and soul
This is a wasteland now

We spies yeah we slow hands
You put the weights all around your self
We spies oh yeah we slow hands
Killer for hire you know not yourself

We spies we slow hands
You put the weights all around your self
We spies oh yeah we slow hands
We retire like nobody else
We spies intimate slow hands
Killer for hire you know not yourself
We spies intimate slow hands
You let the face slap around the self

I'll lay down my glasses
I'll lay down in houses
If things come alive
I'll subtract pain by ounces
Yeah, I will start painting houses
If things come alive
I promise to commit no acts of violence
Be it physical or otherwise
If things come alive

I'll say it now
I'll say it now
I'll say it now
Oh, I'll say it now
'Cause I want it now

When personality is scar tissue
We travel south with disuse
I'm subtle like a lion's cage
Such a cautious display
Remember take hold of your time here
Give some meanings to the means
To your end
Not even jail

We marshal in new days of longing
We tremble like anyone's children
And wink towards the fire
I'm erring on this side of caution
Betraying no other symptom
But girl, you shake it right
I will bounce you on the lap of silence
We will freeload to the beats of science
And girl, you shake it right

I'll say it now

Oh, but hold it still, darling, your hair's so pretty
Can't you feel the warmth of my sincerity?
You make motion when you cry
You're making people's lives feel less private
And don't take time away
You make motion when you cry
We all hold hands
Can we all hold hands
When we make new plans?

I pretend like no one else
To try control myself
I'm subtle like a lion's cage
Such a cautious display
Remember take hold of your time here
Give some meanings to the means
To your end
Not even jail

If time is my vessel
Then learning to love might be my way back to sea
The flying, the metal, the turning above
These are just ways to be seen
We all get paid
Yeah some get faith before they die
Then through stars we will navigate
Through the holes in your eyes

How many days will it take to land
How many ways to reach abandon
Abandon

Oh, so swoon, baby, starry nights
May our bodies remain
You move with me, I'll treat you right, baby
May our bodies remain

There is love to be made
So just stay here for this while
Perhaps heartstrings resuscitate
The fading sounds of your life

How many days will it take to land
How many ways to reach abandon
Oh, abandon

So swoon, baby, starry nights
May our bodies remain
As deep we move I'll feed you light, baby
May our bodies remain
Oh yeah, in history I'll treat you right, baby
I'm honest that way, hey

Swoon, baby, starry nights
May our bodies remain
