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, make playing 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 aging
I'll never see this face again
You'll go stabbing, yourself in, the neck

And we can find new ways of living, make playing only logical harm
And we can top the old times, clay making that 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

But it's different now that I'm poor and aging
I'll never see this place again
You'll go stabing, yourself in, the neck

But it's different now that I'm poor and aging
I'll never seen this place again
You'll go stabing, 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 in to my little heart and she gets in my room and she takes it apart
She puts the weights into my little heart
I said she puts the weights into my little heart

She packs it away, she packs it away, she packs it away, she packs it away

It's in the way that she walks, 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
New York Cares
New York Cares
New York Cares

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
New York Cares
New York Cares
New York Cares

It's up to me now turn on the bright lights
Oh, it's up to me now turn on the bright lights

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 dinner the last winner I'm reaping 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 missed you

Sleep tight, dream right, we have two hundred couches
Where you can sleep tight, dream right, we have two hundred couches
Where you can sleep tight, dream right, we have two hundred couches
Where you can sleep tonight, sleep 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 sinner, the last winner and everything we've come to
Makes you you
And you cannot safely say while 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, dream right, we have two hundred couches
Where you can sleep tight, dream right, we have two hundred couches
Where you can sleep tight, dream 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 therefs such a place
I had my back turned,
you didnft realize Ifm lonely
You lack the things
to which I relate
But I see no harm.
Come eway, come eway, come eway
Itfs over.
And 1, 2, 3

When Ifm feeling lazy, it's probably because
Ifm saving all my energy to pick up when you
Move into my airspace
Move into my airspace
Somethingfs 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 isnft no intervention
This is a concept
This is a bracelet
This isnft 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

I'm gonna pull you in close gonna wrap you up tight
gonna play with the braids that you came here with tonight
I'm gonna hold your face and toast the snow that fell
because friends don't waste wine when there's words to sell

i feel like love is in the kitchen with a culinary eye
I think he's making something special and I'm smart enough to try
if you don't trust yourself for at least one minute each day
well you should trust in this girl cause loving is coming our way

if you can fix me up girl you'll go a long way
if you can fix me up girl you'll go a long way

I'll stand by all this drinking if it helps me through these days
(take my love in these small doses)
It takes a long time just to get this all straight
(take my love in these small doses)
I'll showcase on route 7 when i find the right place
(take my love in these small doses)
It takes a long time just to get this all straight
(take my love in these small doses)
in my mind
this is my free time

because friends don't waste wine when there's words to sell
if you can fix me up girl you'll go a long way
if you can fix me up girl you'll go a long way

I'll stand by all this drinking if it helps me through these days
(take my love in these small doses)
I've spent a long time corresponding in my own way
(take my love in these small doses)
I'll showcase on route 7 when I find the right place
(take my love in these small doses)
It takes a long time just to get this all straight
(take my love in these small doses)
in my mind
this is my free time
to break it all away
spend it all today
spend it all today
it took time then I found you
it took time then I found you

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
elemental in a that bad way
the underground trip
t'was just like a scuba day

she was all right cause the sea was so tight she broke away
she was all right cause the sea was so tight 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 hey hey tight
she broke away broke away
she broke away broke away
she broke away broke away

stella

the bottom of the ocean she dwells

her caresses caressed my fingers
fat blue serpent swells

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 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

baby, my heart's been breaking

I gave a lot to you
I take a lot from you too
you slave a lot from me
guess you could say
i gave you my edge

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

You're looking alright tonight
I think we should go
You're looking alright 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 Ifm 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 youfre gonna make it eight.
So that you two can take some time, teach each other to reciprocate.

She feels that my sentimental side should be held with kid gloves
But she doesnft know that I left my urge in the icebox
She swears Ifm 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 youfre gonna make it eight.
All the people that youfve loved theyfre all bound to leave some keepsakes.
Ifve been swinging all the time, think itfs time to learn your way.
I picture you and me together in the jungle it would be ok.

Ifll bring you when my lifeboat sails through the night
That is supposing that you donft sleep tonight

Itfs like learning a new a language
Helps me catch up on my mime
If you donft bring up those lonely parts
This could be a good time
Itfs like learning a new language

You come here to me
Wefll collect those lonely parts and set them down
You come here to me

She says brief things, her lovefs a pony
My lovefs subliminal

She says brief things, her lovefs a pony
My lovefs subliminal

    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

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

    We speaks about travel
    Yeah we think about the land
    We smart like all peoples
    Feeling real tan

    I could take you places
    Do you need a new man?
    Wipe the pollen from the faces
    Make revision to a dream while you wait in the van

    It took a life span with no cellmate
    To find the long way back
    Sandy, why can't we look the other way?
    You're weightless; you are exotic
    You need soemthing for which to care
    Sandy, 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 come to hold me tight
    Is this motion ever lasting
    Or do shudders pass in the night?

    Rosemary, Heaven restores you in life

    It spent a life span with no cellmate
    The long way back
    Sandy, why can't we look the other way?
    You're weightless, semi-erotic
    You need someone to take you there
    Sandy, 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 lass, because 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 fire, alright
    Let's tend to the engine tonight

    Oh

    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
    Now 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
    And you know he misses alright
    Old names, we'll make sweet
    Will sustain us through the night
    Inside my bedroom baby
    Touch me, oh tonight
    Promises, we'll make some
    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

    --------------------------------

    And time was like a broken watch
    I make money like Fred Astaire
    I see that you've come to resist me and the pit bull in time
    your pretense is not what restricts me
    it's the circles inside

    The anatomy of kisses and the teacher who tries
    who knows I will disappear
    would you like to be my Mrs.?
    and in future we'll child
    you know we can't get back from here
    we can't 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 to star 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 to star in your 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
    it's me that dreams of union
    lately I can't tell for sure
    if the machines turn anyone

    I am the scavenger who hides between the sheets of union
    lately I can't tell for sure
    if the machines turn anyone

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

    We sail today to 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 rubbers 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 and the pit bull 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
    (all my love is sailing your way
    all my love is sailing tonight
    all my love is sailing your way
    all my love you're receiving tonight)

    ------------------------------

    Yeah but nobody searches
    Nobody cares somehow
    When the loving that youfve wasted
    Comes raining from a hapless cloud
    And I might stop and look upon your face
    Disappear in the sweet, sweet gaze
    See the living that surrounds me
    Dissipate in a violet place

    Canft you see what youfve done to my heart
    And soul?
    This is a wasteland now

    We spies
    We slow hands
    Put the weights around yourself
    We spies
    Oh yeah we slow hands
    You put the weights all around yourself now

    I submit my incentive is romance
    I watched 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 & grace

    I just go 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 you see what youfve done to my heart
    And soul?
    This is a wasteland now

    We spies
    Yeah we slow hands
    You put the weights around yourself
    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 yourself
    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 herself

    -----------------------------

    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,
    Neither physical or otherwise,
    If things come alive

    A saved man
    A saved man
    A saved man
    Oh, a saved man

    Things are warming now

    When personality is scarred tissue,
    We travel South if it's use
    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 the days of longing,
    We tremble like anyone's children,
    And wait to watch the fire.
    Repairing on the side of caution,
    Betraying no other symptom,
    But girl, you shake it right.

    I will bounce you on the lap of silence,
    We will free up to the beats of science,
    And girl, you shake it right

    I'll say it now

    Oh, but hell is still gone in your hair so free
    Can't you feel the warmth of my sincerity?
    You make motion when you cry
    You're making people's lives feel less pride.
    Don't take time away
    You make motion when you cry

    We all hold hands, can't we all hold hands,
    When we make new friends?

    I pretend like no one else
    To try to 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
    if flying the medal
    but turning above
    these are just ways to be seen

    We all get paid
    will some get faith before they die?
    but to stars we will never gaze
    through the holes in your lives

    How many days will it take to end?
    how many ways to reach your hand? oh
    You and I

    Oh so swoon baby starry nights
    may our bodies remain
    you move with me, I'll treat you right
    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 mend?
    how many ways to reach your hand?
    oh you and I

    oh so swoon baby starry nights
    may our bodies remain
    as deeply move I'll feed you light
    maybe our bodies remain
    In history I'll treat you right maybe
    I'm honest that way, hey!

    oh so swoon baby starry nights
    may our bodies remain

    ---------------------------------

    This could be destiny, sweetheart
    I've had no sense of time since we started this thing out
    I've got friends in need, sweetheart
    I've grown lengths and lengths and lengths of love since we started this thing out

    Combat salacious removal

    There is a bitter breed, oh sweetheart
    They will be watching you sometimes
    With their bitter hearts

    But we are through with these
    We are shifting the heartach
    We want strong summer love, the most robust of blood
    Just to stay awake

    Combat salacious removal

    --------------------------------

    We saw you from the urchin's side
    from under the boat
    We saw you making knots
    we saw you get the rope
    The boy appearing on the deck
    and making it lurch
    And the bubble of your interest
    ready to burst

    He whistles and he runs

    We saw you in distraction
    a sleeping, slow dispair
    Rehearsing interaction
    he wasn't even there
    A creature is a creature
    though you wish you were the wind
    The boat will not stop moving
    if you tie him up until the end

    He whistles and he runs
    so hold him fast
    He might succumb to what
    you haven't seen
    He has a keen eye
    for what you used to be

    When the cadaverous mob saves
    saves its doors for the dead men
    you cannot leave
