NIGHTS OF FORGOTTEN FILMS No one can see that far From this road The world is flat As a camel's back We drove along the bluff The road a snake A twisted fake We couldn't shake Lost em' in the daylight They vanished in the sun Nights of forgotten films Those, nights of forgotten films Nights of forgotten films Vanished in the sun No one, can resurrect no proof exists Don't be ashamed Of love and death We drove until it hurt Till the snake recoiled Until the moon Had torn your skirt TONIGHT I WILL SAY ANYTHING tonight I will say anything every stupid, fucked up thing both chapter and verse both the cure and the curse you can't imagine what it's worth when i know it doesn't hurt (repeat) Tonight I will say anything Tonight I will say anything and nothin' at all tonight I'll take you anywhere tonight I'll take you everywhere every prison, every perch every tunnel, every church I'll take you everywhere at once it doesn't matter what it costs tonight I'll take you everywhere tonight I'll take you everywhere and nowhere at all tonight I will say anything every stupid, fucked up thing anything that helps I'll risk repeating myself I'll say anything that helps at the risk of repeating myself I'll say anything that helps I'll risk repeating myself Tonight I will say anything Tonight I will say anything and nothin' at all put your long coat on... RIVER OF TWILIGHT Baby, I crossed the river of twilight On a black river boat Bu these days I tell no one I once knew how to float There are many among you Who would cast the first stone But my only crime is impatience I beg my dreams to return Waitin' for my life to come home Waitin' for my life to come home Temptation, Is blind to its purpose And cold to the touch Its wearin' a death mask I was never tempted that much There are a few amongst us Who've given fortunes away You can count me among them almost kills me to say I'm waitin' for my life to come home I'm waitin' for my life to come home SEE IT IN THE DARK Finally time to go out dancin' Take the blue suit from the bag The one you bought for your husband's funeral In hopes that he would, up and die Tryin' hard to keep that spark See it in the dark See it in the dark Ship street closed down And so did the cardrooms Ain't nothin' here But your barbed-wire smile The Blue Sky is vacant And so is your red house All victims of mercy And your own denial Tryin' hard to keep that spark See it in the dark See it in the dark Lost my way, right from the start But I see it in the dark See it in the dark LONG SHADOWS The sky's a long shadow A murderous star A star with no heaven Hanging over this bar The moon is a rumor A tattoo of dreams Shinin'thin as a knife blade the only weapon I need Don't do it like this Don't do it like that Don't do it like this Don't do it like that Your soul is in handcuffs Locked to this chair Your love is the jailer And the sheriff's for sale Your flesh is a scar And my wound is your laugh That girl, looks like your sister At least from the back Chewin' the fat And makin' it last Don't do it like this Don't do it like that Chewin' the fat And makin' it last Don't do it like this Don't do it like that COMIN' UNDONE Come on, come on, come on Come on, come on I'm comin' undone Come on, come on, come on Come on, come on I'm comin' undone Till your birds of prey Finally fly away Till your birds of prey Finally fly Please let me know When the stars ain't in your eyes Please let me know When your stars have shone I will not come back (spoken) I will not return Till you've spent your flame Till you have freezed your burn I will not forsake I will not unglue The things that were strong The things that were me and you THESE LIES These lies are fine But they won't jump us quick to the finish These lies are fine But they won't get us out of this forest Where the trees Have dead men for leaves And to stand up straight You've got to crawl on your knees You pick the place and we'll go You pick the town and we'll blow Our way from here, forever These lies are fine But they won't lift us up, into thin air These lies are fine But they won't get us fired from this circus Where the trapeze Swings wild in the breeze And falling into the net Is the danger we tease These lies are fine These lies are mine GONE MISSING Cry me something wicked Something unannounced An acetylene torch Then you'll. Swallow every chance Polish every doubt Another semi-precious Deception Diamonds! That's the last thing I hoped you would say We've gone missing Missing today At last it's good and dark And we're finally good and drunk No secrets here Just prescriptions Someone shouted 'fire!' And no one even jumped We don't need this world It's a deathtrap RUN WITH THE HUNTED No need to talk Silence is safer There is safety in numbers, When that number is one I waltzed with his women In a dance of sedition and when the gin house crumbled I was already gone I run Run with the hunted Run from your dogs I run Run with the hunted Run from your dogs Someday this all turns From blood to spirit Someday this all turns From mud to rock But that day is distant As distant as pleasure Got eyes in my back And no intention to walk He's the king of cheap swampland With a five bullet chamber First, I beat him by joining Then I spit in his face Now I taunt: 'come and get me, show me what your made of, thought you'd backed me in a corner but I'm far, far away'
