City Limits

the holy mountain
the mezzanine
the strange sensation
of the in between
now here comes Jane, she's a libertine
she's ten if she's seventeen
with one foot in the bag and a porno mag
in the back of her jeans
I go wandering the night through the city lights
the feeling comes alive and my heart is burning
ragged on my knees and i still believe
like a child in the night full of expectation
I'm lost in the feeling
the quick ascension
and slow release
love's intervention
and the all reprieve
I'm walking tall in no shape at all
in a place that I'm made to leave
I think of Tommy Verlaine getting pre-ordained
on a crucifix marquee
I go wandering the night through the city lights
the feeling comes alive and my heart is burning
ragged on my knees and i still believe
like a child in the night full of expectation

Sometimes
04:52
|
|||
I think I'll go into my head
cold as light, the deepest red
solipsistic, cherry lipstick
draped in love, eagle-splayed
the softest touch and i'm not afraid
piece of mindless, romance, violence
sometimes
girls they love you
but mostly i don't mind
a hard-line
emotional curfew
and she's a friend of mine
I caught your note up to the door
the air is warm, grass is cold
tender excess, trespass, distress
if I'm bad, would you let me know?
fuck the air, the earth, and snow
of this earth and romance bursting
sometimes
girls they love you
but mostly i don't mind
a hard-line
emotional curfew
and she's a friend of mine

gold-headed
unleaded
she's headed all the way in
adventure
breath-taking
another way to heaven
soft-spoken
heart-broken
take off into the ocean
for better
forever
she's getting all she's given
am I better off dead
I'm getting lost inside your head
lo and behold, in front and so
i'm getting turned in my bed
i think of every word you said
pale, stubborn, and gold
and in the end bought and sold
pathetic
ascetic
sat still for lack of motion
ambition
suspicion
a woman's intuition
am I better off dead
I'm getting lost inside your bed
lo and behold, in front and so
i'm getting turned in my head
i think of every word you said
pale, stubborn, and gold
and in the end bought and sold

The Unknown
03:53
|
|||
heard you talking on a new sensation
I've been riding with Buddha, Christ
all the ghosts of my addiction
bang a drum in paradise
I was touched by the manic angel
the Joan of Arc of teenage lust
out of time in a blank generation
talking to myself getting bad advice
the unknown
far from home
on your own
but not alone
even though I'm lost in the ether crying
it's easy, she sees me
giving my life to a higher reason
it's crazy, she saved me
would you like to make time for this old guy?
do it often, I'll soften
I'll shine a light on you if you just
believe me and lead me
I was down by the metro station
you were bathed in a flood of light
you was stoned and I was able
thumbing through the book of my last rites
the unknown
far from home
on your own
but not alone
even though I'm lost in the ether crying
it's easy, she sees me
giving my life to a higher reason
it's crazy, she saved me
would you like to make time for this old guy?
do it often, I'll soften
I'll shine a light on you if you just
believe me and lead me

Plus rien à perdre
malgré tout, malgré toi, malgré moi
Parle nous, parle moi
Mes yeux respirent, tes yeux conspirent
Dans l’ombre, le doute
Nos mots s’envolent tu deviens folle
l’envie me prend, la raison crie
Mes yeux respirent, tes yeux conspirent
Vérité, vérité
conséquence de nous
Après tout, après nous
Mes yeux déchirent, tes yeux respirent

Cold Hard Morning Light
04:21
|
|||
think on my time
think on my chances
blown down the line
how many romances gone?
on the edge of a knife
a hot-bellied set-up
ready to spring
a pent-up switchblade life
flash-fire eyes
burn through the mirror
they cut to your bone
the holiest terror eyes
now pain isn't earned
it grows without reason
a four letter burn
one for each season down
and I can never get it right
in the cold hard morning light
but at least I'm still alive
in the cold hard morning light
it's good to be free
down in the ditches
it's good to be free
with no money and no bitches now
cruising the streets
torn up and shattered
caught in the breeze
broke, bruised, and battered down
and I can never get it right
in the cold hard morning light
but at least i'm still alive
in the cold hard morning light
TAKE IT LIKE A MAN
so it's like this:
I'm stuck in a corner
and these girls
they'll always ignore you
go figure,
I tried to adore you
cause sometimes
I like it in the corner
because I
I'm just a simple kind of guy
and you
I think you're worth a try
you gotta take it like a man
try and understand
most people never win
a lot never begin
why won't you take my hand
won't you let me in
if you want to take control
at least I'll take it like a man

Still, Soft
01:39

you can't believe it's a love that's leaving
you're just a boy, I'm just a girl
every time I open my eyes up
I get confused by the whole damned world
but the way I'm feeling
I just can't tell
you got me believing
in heaven and hell
a broken heart's got a way of healing
it isn't fair, but I think it's gone
I locked myself in the bathroom thinking
the days are fine and the nights are hell
but the way I'm feeling
I just can't tell
you got me believing
in heaven and hell

Long Time Coming
02:47
|
|||
winter's shadow
is sunk and sallow
shade is hollow
and I will follow
there's a freedom that's left behind
call it a peace of mind
but the sun is setting
and wings are spreading
it's been a long time coming
it's good to be alive and winning
standing on the shores of reason
love can never be defeated
no use fading
or entertaining
a prophet changeling
and the leaves are jangling
I'm stuck in a valley soft
this heart is an inside job
life's romantic
and I'll catch you in the summer
it's been a long time coming
it's good to be alive and winning
standing on the shores of reason
love can never be defeated

Chains
06:57
|
|||
I've got a fever in my soul, man
I've been hard on it
past the limits of control
it's got my back against the wall
a wall of regret
hence the fever in my soul, man
and eyes in the night
burn so hard that they shine
I've got these chains
I need some change
in my body and my soul
I feel the spirit
and it shakes me to my core
father, son, and holy ghost
they rise above me
and I walk along the shore
and tides seem to bind
and is time on my side
I've got these chains
I need some change
