OH BOY!
You came to me // I saw a friend behind a lover’s face // You called me by my middle name // You’ve got me losing my mind // Remind me how we met // Stranger I’d like to forget // Oh Boy! You’re not my kind of lover // Oh Boy! You’re not one, you’re not one // Don’t know why I never made the true connection // How you came to know my name // You’ve got me losing my mind // Remind me how we met // December lovers, sublime // We shared your cigarette // Stranger I’d like to forget
THROUGH MY HEAD
Twisted visions of a life removed // It’s unbearable // Dancing figures to a cryptic tune // They know the words // When oily shadows come into view // It all gets clearer // I try to breathe but its no use // I’ve lost again // Oh no // Oh no // The thoughts leak through my head // Fingers bleeding from overuse // I just keep pushing them // My ears are ringing with the truth // I know the words // They’re gassing up the final zeppelin // They know the ending // Lights of ember fill the sky // I told you why // Set fire, set fire to the pillows // Set fire, set fire to the shadows // Set fire, set fire to the ones you love //
STARING AT THE SUN
Well I’m an only child // Bred from the havoc and the hound // My blood’s desaturated // I let it sink into the ground // I change my ways with the seasons // Atomic autumn come and gone // Don’t hold your glare, I’ve got my reasons // Wash my hair with napalm // In the eyes of anyone // It’s like staring at the sun // In the end we cut and run // Our horizon is a blur // We don’t sing no songs // Got to keep your distance because I know it won’t be long // You know I’ve seen the end // I am the one true prophet // This is my self destruction // With no way to stop it // In the eyes of anyone // It’s like staring at the sun // In the end we cut and run // Staring at the sun // Launch another bombing run // Staring at the sun // Cut them down with megaton
LOADED GUN
I’ve got troubled water // Running in my veins // A voice inside I can’t contain // I’ve got twisted feelings // Flowing to my core // Telling signs I can’t ignore // Well hell it sure is fun, better listen son // You’re playing hopskotch with a loaded gun // I can see in your eyes the lies that justify // I’ve got static signals // Shooting through my spine // My deepest fear I can’t define // All these forest fires // Burning through my soul // A fucking laugh I can’t control
A TIME ALONE
I spent a time alone // Falling from your eyes // Falling from your mind // Rivers rushing through my bones // Chill me where I stand // Break upon the land of my soul // Turns cold // The light has gone from my life // My blood is turning blue // Dripping off the sheets // Bleeding while I sleep // My bones are pushing through // Kill me where I stand // Break upon the land of my soul // I spent a time alone // Falling from your eyes // Falling from your mind // Rivers rushing through my bones // Kill me where I stand // Break upon the land of my soul // Turns cold // The light so bright // My soul turns cold // The light has gone from my life
TIME TO FEEL ALIVE
Hey you say that you don’t care // So why all the colours in your hair // Hey you’re such a sad affair // You live your life with love to spare // Time to feel alive // Hey I see you standing there // With all your punk and cosmic flare // Hey you think I’m unaware // Of all the times you’d stop and stare // Hey you say that you don’t care // So why all the colours in your hair // Hey you’re such a sad affair // You live your life with love to spare // Hey you think I’m unaware // Of all the times you’d stop and stare
WE ARE THE LAW
Your name has crossed my desk before // A vigilante hero with no respect for the law // I don’t need to listen to anymore // Your methods fit the motive and they can’t be ignored // A firm solution is what we need // Oh skip the pleasantries, just let me take the lead // Fuck this noise, let’s put this guy on ice // Any man will talk if you know his price // Is that your plan, just question him all night? // We’ve got a job to do so lets do it right // Why don’t you just confess? We know it all // Have you anything to say for yourself? // I want my phone call // Spit it out // So spit it out // You really dare to tread this line you walk? // Now maybe this will make you talk // Alright it’s true I did the crime // Case closed // That’s it, cause after all // We are the law
STRANGER TO ME
Man I used to know him // Before he threw his life away // Man I used to know him // He never used to be this way // Yeah I’ve heard the stories // A runaway with a troubled cause // Yeah I’ve heard the stories // But I knew who he really was // Though I wouldn’t lie and tell you // That I didn’t see it coming // Never did he realize just what he was becoming // Words are never right when there’s nothing left to say // I could only stand and watch him slowly drift away // A life to endeavor // A man gone forevermore // Man I used to know him // Before he threw his life away // Man I used to know him // He never used to be this way // I just don’t understand him // A fallen star from a sea of light // I just don’t understand him // A burning heart shining in the night // Now he’s just a stranger to me // Now he’s just stranger to me // A life to endeavor // A man gone forever
NOVEMBER SKIES
You’re cold, I’m smoking // You’ll never feel my heat // I laugh, you’re joking // White flag admits defeat // I think I’m losing my thunder // But there's storm clouds up ahead // I feel like dragging you under // Pull the covers on our heads // Don’t tell me lies // November Skies mean nothing more to me // Don’t act surprised // November eyes have nothing more to see // Be glad it’s over // Just let the credits roll // But I thought we were closer // And it’s hard to let you go // I think I’m growing older // And it makes me want to try // Winter feels much colder // When I look you in the eye // Don’t tell me lies // November skies
SOMETHING MORE THAN LOVE
Memories I can’t forget // All of those years with you // Stronger still than when we met // Wouldn’t you know it’s true // I only wanted something more than love // Something to keep me hanging on // Melodies stay in my mind // Dissonant traces of a tune // All the things we leave behind // Cover the spaces of this room // I only wanted something more than love // Memories I can’t forget // All of those years with you // Stronger still than when we met // Wouldn’t you know it’s true
You came to me // I saw a friend behind a lover’s face // You called me by my middle name // You’ve got me losing my mind // Remind me how we met // Stranger I’d like to forget // Oh Boy! You’re not my kind of lover // Oh Boy! You’re not one, you’re not one // Don’t know why I never made the true connection // How you came to know my name // You’ve got me losing my mind // Remind me how we met // December lovers, sublime // We shared your cigarette // Stranger I’d like to forget
