one light flashing i love you
something surmounted me took away the will from me made me lose myself
somewhere there's a place for me
somewhere in this big city people still get a thrill
was i too cynical
reparations could be made
but this island has lost face slipping with each wave into the ocean
brown faces turning old
the sand was wet with kisses as we lay and dazed for hours against the
sand
where it is warm and laughed between our eyes and held each other in
the moment as we watched it go
give us moon rocks!
this love remains all wrong between you and me
as you turn and walk away i fight to remain
brought up brought down when i think of you
and i know you say so what despite all my pain
i can't go on it's wrong but i stay on i do
because i know it's wrong and don't know what else to do
i can't love you the way you are
but you shine so brightly my heart just stops to be with you
i want to stay
i can't go on it's wrong but i stay on i do
because i know it's wrong and don't know what else to do
i can't love you the way you are
but you shine so brightly my heart just stops to be with you
i want to stay
but right now oh i know there'has got to be a better way
le bag
time was when i still dreamed of you
days went like i do slow with you
time was when we lived in youth
days felt like i do tired of you
dead her eyes so nice
indian ocean nosedive
now don't cry it's gone
and now you know the reason
shouldn't try to make up your own mind
sleepytime
its time to go i've had enough
my mind is weary and pulls down at my eyes making them feel that they are
heavy
oh look around i'm not so sure as everything that i fear
confident to leap down on me
put your heart here
pick it up if you hear it beating
i tried so hard to keep awake but i fell asleep
rare moment
my heart beats so oddly
as if in love but somewhat less dismayed
i've come to hate the city and the way it plays me
rare moment little flower collapsed in my arms unable to charm
administered periodic doses of misgivings
lost amongst the dying it does set you strangely
and their faces seem so old hearts so elastic
all dreams abandoned all that's left is living
the smog hanging low we pretend we are perched up high in the hollywood
hills
ready to leap or tumble through backyards
Doberman prowled swimming pool gouged
rare moment little flower collapsed in my arms unable to charm
my heart beats so old now
as if i'm dying
little tail
tonight why not take my eyes and show them something new
is it could i stand to gain in fighting to get through all the things that
surround you
mouths whisper like butterflies
wings brushing against the light
i done my best for you
i knew i knew you'd felt distress towards me and at best i'm pitied
why why not take my life and bring it meaning
i've grown so tired from fighting to get through all of the things that
surround you
cats of the wild forever

tracks on the japanese release:
dolphins dance with our music
why does not the rain seem to notice me
here i lie upon the leaves gazing out into the street
days go by i become cold my heart an empty envelope
i was only seventeen standing alone on the mezzanine of the gallery
why not notch your face in this face of defeat
just tonight i was standing on the subway shaking like a break-beat
days i was alone
i watched the tears roll down my car window from inside
the sky opened her eyes and cried
still i must be
days go by i become cold my heart an empty envelope
i was only seventeen standing alone on the mezzanine of the gallery
crush
knock me to the floor i'd like nothing more
than dirt in my face like a warm embrace
burn me with a match just a little scratch
rotten to the core but how i adore you
when you get drunk you can call me names
but i'll have this crush on you just the same
maybe you should justgo the fuck away
trudy
trudy comes home with a gun
reeking of gin
she's got an itch on her head
wearing her wig again
trudy hangs out the window in a shrub
she waits
grinding her teeth scratching her head
when trudy comes along she goes alone
collecting bottles on the way
trudy wakes up to buy a new pint
clutching her head
the bottle goes down down
another day awaits
when trudy comes along she goes alone
collecting bottles on the way
swallowed a bottle
swallowed a gun
swallowed a bottle
swallowed a gun
his love just washed away
she grew up in warm warm water
helps her face look flush and full
running laps all around
the daughter's head keeps spinning like a spiral shell
and there she goes
there she goes into the water
swimming with the seals and weeds
from the trees drops the man who bought her love
with clothes and promises of make believe
he found her body on the seashore
as he walked his early morning stroll
clothes were gone
body breathed no more
dried by the sun
he took her in his arms
washed away
