DEEP END

Freedom, words that don't have meaning
Somewhere out at sea
In the deep end, swimming through the deep end
Deeper than we dreamed

My hand on your night,
Pushing through the needle's eye
To the other side
In your card and in your stars
In the twinkle of an eye

There's an ill wind blowing
Close your eyes and feel
No more talk
Give me all I could not steal

Need you, like I need to breathe you
I'll see you overhead
I'm your evening angel leaving
On the wings of your last prayer

Love, ever knowing,
wash away our lives
Real love don't see the colours
But it sees the light

And your only a prayer
Only a prayer away
As we rage for the last
Rage for the last dying rays
___________________________________________________________________

POST-ROCK SKY

The birds high in flight
Care not for our lives
They fly so freely
Nearly touching the sky

Will we, won't we?
the sky so blue
Do we, don't we?
what are we to do?

Will we won't we?
That sky so blue
Do we don't we?
What are we to do?

ICEBERG

Your almost there
Your on time
And it feels like home
But not quite

Thought I saw you
In the half light
your nearly near
But not quite

Your almost there
Your on time

ZEITGEIST

Fallout, we're waiting.
Birds caught in airplane wings.
Seismic. Shifting.
Suicidal whales on Florida beach.

I saw her smile, way down, Way down
I stole her style. She winked at me. She waved

The earth still-birth the moon.
Apocalypse too soon
Sunspots that never miss.
A moment too confused.

One day, my love I'll find you
Without altitude.

Birds fall from high. falling. Falling.
I saw her smile, as she went under the waves.

HOUSE OF LOVE

Is it love that you want?
Did you see it in some one eyes?
In the places that you go?
Can you ever be alone?

Is it light that you lost?
On some unforgiven day?
Are you still adding up the cost?
Was it something in the way?

Let me in the house of love
Let me in the house of love

All your desires, her body aflame
Now you're alive , back in the fire

Is it love, is it light, is it love, is it something you want?
Is it love, is it love, is it love that you want?
Is it light, is it love, does it come from above? Is it gone?
Is it love, was it love, did it run like a thief in the sun?

Let me in the house of love
_____________________________________________________________________

STILL LIFE

Now the moon is full again
Of the promises we never keep
I want to see your face again
In the still life
In real time

Fast forward your fear (And your pharaoh heart)
And save what's seen (Will it ever bend)
Pause for effect (In the shade of the reed)
And rewind (At the river's end)
I want to see In time, in the waiting room
Your face this way In time I wait on you
In the still life In time, in the waiting room
In real time

You move me to you
Im moving to you too

Face to face again
Beginning and end
Tail to head
And the stars seem like familiar things
That the child bring
While there's still time

And I lose you in the everyday
But there's still time
In the still life.

You move me to you
And I move you to it too

NYC

Dreams lost in the lights
I will follow it downtown tonight
Tonight

You're a hard act to follow
Your a bitter pill to swallow
And I love my schitzophrenic friend
Let's bury the hatchet
In the thick of your head

New York New York
Run like a fever
New York New York
I'll never leave her
Alive
No time to talk
No time to fall
in New York
I've got to leave you
Somehow

The traffic lights are down
All over town
And I feel like we all died as one

Paranoid and needing
The pieces of your dreaming
And its lonely in the crowd
Knowing you're around

New York New York
Running on fever
New York New York
Everyone's been there
No time to call
No time to fall in love
New York

Your love won't last the train ride home
Your love won't last the train ride home

New York
Run like a fever
New York New York
I'd liek to believe her

No time to call
We're seeing it all in NY.

Your love won't last the train ride home
Your love won't last the train ride home
Jump or burn
Jump or burn, baby.

NAKED IN A DREAM

Free fall
It's just a drill
Free fall
It's just a dream
Free fall.

Freefall.
It's just a drill
freefall.
Not really real.
I want to sleep
I've seen enough
freefall
it's just a drill. freefall.

It's just a drill
Not really really real
I've seen too much
I want to sleep
Freefalling.
Naked in a dream

RADIATE

The wheel's still in spin, in spin

Radiate, radiate your nothing to me
Radiate, radiate your nothing to me
Radiate, Radiate to me
Radiate, Radiate to me

ISOLATION ROOM

Pull the other one
What are you escaping from
In your isolation room?
Keep your thoughts deep inside
Never let them run out wild
From your isolation room

Caught between the light
Between body soul and mind
The beginning is the end
When the mirror crashes in

Another war, another place
Another way to stop the bleeding
Its so warm and safe inside
Your isolation room

Caught between a lie
Between body soul and mind
The beginning is the end
When the mirror crashes in

outro Hagenauer riff.


TOUCH U IN 3 PLACES

And the worse is behind
Let the dead bury their own bones
And the sky an an open mind
Blue

We can turn this around if we choose
We can tear the veil in two
Throw that dove into the air

From the mouth of a babe
Comes a cry of perfect praise
As I touch you in three places
7
We can turn it all around if we choose
We can tear the veil in two
And the talkers never do

But the singer is true

As the birds fall from the sky
Taking the splinters from our eyes
And http://vimeo.com/10258836http://vimeo.com/10258836the mountains move a mile
In time



ELEVATOR MUSIC

Are you ready for it
Steady for it
Egging for it now

Ready for it
Steady for it
Heading for it now

Ready for it
Steady for it
Begging to begin

Ooooh. If you let me in.


Where the sunshine and the moonshine meet
We'll touch awhile
Where your love lines run like live wires
Is where I'll make you smile
You open up like flowers on a
a sunny mountain side

ooooh - I will make you smile

I move like geisha's groove and taste
In places he's never been
From the mouth of a babe
Perfect praise again
A little life, a little death
Your last breath i win

- if you let me in.




TALK OUT OF TIME

You live in your head
But better off there than dead
You live in a world
Where angels and demons fight for your soul

And who am I
To talk out of time at eternity
Who would blame the sky
For all the misfortune we earned hurled down

They live in a dream
Where nothing has reason or rhyme
The bubble will burst
The balance will shift back and the mountains cry



NOWHERE ON THIS EARTH

Nowhere on this earth, nowhere left to be
You found it out, when you stopped trying to leave

And you stop.
And you start...
And its not
What you want
But it's what you need

So don't look down and don't be late
She's old enough to know you're too young to wait

But you stop.
At the start...
And it's not
What you want
But it's what you need.

Now here else on this earth
You are exactly where you are meant to be
Stop. trying to start. It's not what you want at all.
She's what you need.



PIECES OF MY MIND

Learn to love your loneliness in time
Learn to own your ownliness for a while
They said come to love your loneliness

But I can't seem to find
The pieces of my mind

I was feeling like somebody else
I was thinking maybe you would help
But the right time is slipping away

And I can not seem to find
The feelings you left behind
And its playing with my mind's line
Of thinking
I can't seem to find



COME INTO MY NIGHT

I've wasted, I've tasted
Too much of you, you know its true
My love, my life, my love

I hold you like a newborn
Separate you, from a thousand
My love, my lie, my love

Come into my night, come into my life
When the time is right, when you'd like to try
Beyond wrong and right, my love

Beyond right and wrong, where the light is strong
Won't you commit to decide
When you'd like to try,
When the time is nigh
Come into my night.

From the station to the hill
Punish him until you cannot kill
Beyond right and wrong, my love

Beyond wrong and right, where the light is bright
Commit homicide
Pierce him in the side, and drink his blood that life
May come into your night.

Come in, my love
Come in, my love
My love, my lie, my love
My love, my lie, my love.
Come into your night.


NO PASSER-BYS IN HEAVEN

Fall - in and feel light
Cries in - the sub-light
Sigh like your mirror
Sings songs to them

And the world of substance
made gods to feel like
no-one but shadows
caught me out

When our world was two
Two's a crowd
One's a crowd
You caught me out

Fly like an angel
Die like you want
All and more

Go on for old times
There's no passer-bys in heaven
This one's for all time
There's no passer-bys in heaven


NEVER BE YOUR ENEMY

I don't have time for your tide of tears
Don't have a place to put up all your little fears
I will never be your enemy
Just as long as I feel this way
Feel this way

People like to say
All kinds of things
I just fly on by
With my own wings

Feel this way
Feel this way
You will never steal my inner being
I'll never be your enemy
Just as long as I feel this way
Feel this way
Feel this way
Feel this way


SOLAR TIMES
Solar times have found us blind
Under the waves in the heat of light
What must we become under the sun?

And the sky is like a skin
We'll never wear
And is it any wonder at all
The writing is on the wall?

Under the sun
What have we become
Under the sun?

They know not what they do
They know not what they say
They know not who they kill or
Who they blame

Ch.

What has love done
Under the sun?
What has love done
With the prayers and the curses we flung?
What's going on
Under the sun?


ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD

Time was it time at all
I swear i stopped it for you
Was it even ours to give away
We are thieves but we're light as leaves, it's true

Every mountain will disappear in sea
And the towers will tumble at your feet
Every king you bring back down to their knees
Maybe Im falling, falling for thee

Time was it even time at all
We had the sand in the light
We stole it from tomorrow
While the stars waited unwished on unshined

So let's begin
Bring the light back in
No army alive can invade this world
No border patrol can control
Come storm water, or 3rd world war
Come wind, wave or black star

There is a mystery no science or general will keep
A quiet history that goes on while we sleep
And there's a judgement cloud that will fall like spat hammering nails
And there's a eye in a needle in a field full of evil through which the children
of tomorrow sail

And the mountains will disappear in sea
Every tower, may it crumble at your feet
The kings of this world, brought down to their knees
Yes, Im falling, falling, reluctantly

Time was it time at all
We had all the time in the world
Let's run it back to the sun girl
I got nothing to lose but myself

So let's begin
Bring eternity back in
No army or president
No leader blind
Can keep us from the things
They cannot find

Come storm water,
come new world disorder
All those stars unwished on unshined





Undress the Night

Undress the night, undress your night for me
Undress our night, unravel the threads for free
Your hand on my evening
My mouth on your dusk
Undress the night it is all that they ask.

Undress your mind, in ribbons of light
Leading them on, leading them down
Undress your mind, the colours you like
Leading them on, leading them down

My hand on your evening
Your mouth on my dusk
Undress the night it is all that I ask

That's the way it's supposed to feel
That's the way it could feel
And you colour my mind
You splinter of light
You colour me blind
For free



Suicide in Spring

Like slow rain
Like slow rain
The coming down
Coming down

ITs like slow rain
Slow rain
Coming down
Calm it down

I'll take the quiet streets
The quiet streets
Out of here
Out of here
The quieter streets
No one to stop me
Out of here
Out of here

Nowhere left to go
Nowhere left to go
Shed it like a skin
Shed it like a skin

I'ts just a crazy phase
A crazy phase you're going through
It'S just a crazy phase
You'll find your way
You'll get through

I'll only bring you down
Take the wind from your sails
I'll only bring you down
Take your words and go to hell



CHAT DE MER

Slink in shadows while you sleep
See through walls in mirrors deep
Steal the stars from the sea
Chat du mer, chat du mer, chat du mer
Chat du mer est un vite ami

Easy silk, easily suede
Never chase and never wait
Im hotter than cold now
Ice burn fur
Chat du mer, chat du mer, chat du mer
Chat du mer est un enfant et soeur.


STAR 2 STAR

And all perceived has substance received
the essence of who we are
The wise will see what heaven needs
And love is the strongest thing of all

Love the strongest thing of all
It moves from star to star
It loves the strongest thing of all


THE LAMB

All Gods children in the sun
Asking for the saviour come
All fools toil and vanity
Emptiness, insanity
Thus the preacher spoke to me
Got me down onto my knees
Said "my son,
Now confess"

And the moon is full
Of the promises we keep
And the sea keeps the tears
That we let slip away
All God's children under the sun
Reddening evening rivers run
All fool's toil and vanity
Desolate insanity
Thus the priest man spoke to me

Send me on
Send me on
Forgive yourself

CHASING SHADOWS

We're chasing shadows, dancing in the wind
We're chasing shadows, try to catch it in the wind
Are we together now?
Are we together now?

We're moving mountains, better get out of the way
We'Re moving mountains, just you wait and see

Are we together?
Are we together now?

Tell me do you see, you better take his hand
Nothing like you've seen , stranger in a stranger land tonight





Prayers On Fire

I wait
For a hint of a smile
Wait here for
An echo a sign
Waiting in line with a gun in my hand
Waiting for a sign you understand
Waiting for the towers to crumble and fall
Wait here for
Nothing at all


Waiting in line with a gun in my hand
Wait here for a sign that you understand
Waiting for them to pick and call
Wait here for
Nothing at all

Hungry like a field of flower
A break in the clouds
Approaching hour
Words with wings
will skim the sun
Prayers on fire
The deed is done



Lord of the Flies

Kill the piggy
Chase the beast, through the trees
Kill the piggy
Put his head up on a stick

We need meat,
We need meat so feed the fire

Feed the fire, feed the fire
Raise the flame a little higher

We need meat, we need meat
We need meat, we need meat
So feed the fire, feed the fire
Feed the fire
Fan the flame, don't speak his name

We need meat, we need meat
We need meat, we need meat
So feed the fire

Fan the flame, fan the flame.....
Fan the flame and feed the fire


CHILDREN OF A DIFFERENT DAWN

We are the children of a different dawn
You won't find us in the places you look
We're out the window you may feel us scorn an age

Way out where the children play
Way out at the edge of day
Twilight idols. We'll burn up the page.

In your cards and in your stars
Along the highways of your palms
Sleep to dream, sleep to dream
Tonight

In your cards and in your stars
Along the highways of your palms
We are young
And life's not long
We are young
And life's not long
We are young
And life's not long



Tidal Times

I've been north
I've been south
I've been lost
I've been found

Now I shake all over
Like a scarlet fever
And I feel like Im winning
And I feel like a woman again

Baby can you feel the passion
Baby did we hit the sun
Baby can you feel the passing
Feel it just like Jesus' son.

Better pray
In these tidal times
From the east to the west
We'll be tested as the waters rise
You can't cool this down
You can't change its mind
You can run with the devil
But the devil always gets you from behind

Baby can you feel the passion
Baby did we we miss the sun
Baby can you feel my reaction
Feel it like our Jesus come

I'M not the centre of the universe
But I can see it from where I live
I pass through when I can
I'm starting over
I burn all over
And I feel like your woman
And I feel like its coming again

Baby can you feel the passion
Baby can you hit the spot
Baby can you feel my reaction
Feel it like its Jesus' love

Feel, feel

Baby can you feel the passion
Baby can you feel him come ,come, come, come
Baby can you feel him passing
Feel it like his only one

Baby can you deal the passion
Baby can you feel this love, come, come, come
Baby can you feel my reaction
Feel it cos its Jesus' love

Feel, feel
Feel the passion
Hit this sun
Feel my reaction
feel the passion



Lover Let Me

Lover let me
Lover let me lie
Let me lie beside your body white
Lover let me
Lover let me try
Walk our way to lands
We kept in mind


Furious Union

They know not what they say
They know not what they do
They know not who they blame
Or who they use

Forgive them father
I dont want to walk through the valley of your shadow
Forgive them for what they are about to do

They know not the hour
The striking of the bell tower
The stranger on the hill
Who we kill




Solar Times (Into the Sun)

The lights are brightening and so am I
All the birds I sent are coming home tonight
Every mother's daughter's got a hunger to hide
If they're able
I keep it under the table
Live here now,in the heart of the hour
Nobody's gonna step into our light
And the time is right
And the stars aligned tonight
We ride into the sun
Tonight we try

The rich are gonna thread it through the needles eye
The bitch has got a picture of her honey pie
Every father's son has got a hunger to hide
If they like
He'S gonna walk it tonight

Live here now, in the dark of the hour
Live it with me, till the end of the night
And the timing's right
And the stars in line tonight


Tonight, we're in for the sun
Tonight, let's ride into the sun,
Bright, tonight we fly.



Tonight, we ride, into the sun
Tonight we try, into the sun, bright
Tonight we fly
Tonight we try
As one, into the sun.



BERLIN

I lost my soul down a little hole in Berlin
I found some style for a while in Berlin
Don't know why I came
I had to stay and breathe it in
Berlin

A voice in my head
Told me to get to Berlin
No one a sinner
Small stars glitter in
Berlin

I forgot my name
I lost my way
In Berlin

3 chords and a wig, anybody's' gig
In Berlin



Come Into My Night

I've wasted, I've tasted, too much of you
You know its true my love, my lie, my love
I hold you like a new-born, I seperate you from a thousand
My love, my lie, my love

Come into my night, Come into my life
Where the light is bright, when you'd like to try
Beyond wrong and right, my love, come on

Come with shadows long
Where the light is strong,
Beyond right and wrong,
Come in, make the sign
Dip your hand bring light
To a candle with your name
Come into my night

Through the stations to the hill
Punish him until you cannot kill
Beyond wrong and right
My love

Bring your sin to song
To where the light is strong
Be in right and wrong
Across the dark divide
Pierce him in the side
then drink his blood
That life may fill your open night

Come on, my love
Come on, my love
Coming
Come into your night



Arctic Circles

Dress rehearsals, ragged clothes
A dangerous book we never close
People say, you're one of those.

Play your part but suicide
Softly in the spring
Im too tired to die
For those who will not live

Across the line

And you were waiting on the other side
A fistful of roses, a bouquet of knives
You drew a line in the sand
But the winds had other plans

Across the line

You said
"I'm gonna' love you.
Come sun or storm" You said
"I'm going gonna love you into morning.
And the rain turns to snow
And the arrow is let go
And its now and never
And never knows.

Across the line.

Cold.


Animal Instinct

you got instincts just like an animal
your ringtone give me cancer like a telephone
you ain't nothin you're a stain
you're a drone and you're a drain
on my mind in my mind
i have to hunt you like an animal
i have to hunt you like an animal
I wouldn't save you from an animal

you got instincts to kill all the animals
you devour, coming at me with your fists full of flowers
you ain't nothin you're a weed
a demon strain that's gone to seed
on my mind, in my mind
I have to hunt you down like an animal
I have to hunt you like an animal
I wouldn't save you from an animal


FLY BIRD FLY

Kiss away a thousand tears and leave our lips to sing
We don't need the ways of the world, we always had our wings

Fly bird fly into the night
Until the morning sings
Fly bird fly
With your own wings



Now she comes with fists of rain
Rapping at my window pane
The world spins round
But we're still the same
Still the same
Still the same
Fly bird fly
Into the open sky
Fly bird fly while your load is light
Into the arms of night



There she goes
There she goes again
There she goes
There she goes again

Fly bird fly
Fly bird fly
Until the morning's bright
