Deadwing
And something warm and soft just passed through here It took the precious things that I hold dearer It rifled through the grey and disappeared The creeping darkness makes the small hours clearer Like a cancer scare, in the dentist's chair Sucking in the air, wire across the stair Kicking down the door at your local store With the world at war, voices through the floor Unexpected news, wearing high-heeled shoes Blowing out the fuse, paying all your dues Deadwing lullaby, like a fracture tied It's a worthless lie to the public eye I don't take waifs and strays back home with me My bleeding heart does not extend to charity Yes, I'd have to say, I like my privacy And did you know you're on closed-circuit TV? So smile at me And a dream you had, of your mom and dad On a beach somewhere, and the poison air With the cancer threat in a cigarette Deadwing lullaby, find a place to hide And from the yellow windows of the last train A spectre from the next life breathes his fog on a pane I look with you into the speeding black rain Afraid to touch someone, afraid to ask her for her name And in the morning when I find I have lost you I throw a window open wide and step through

I don't remember Did something in my past create a hole? Don't use your gender To drive a stake right through my soul I live to function On my own is all I know No friends to mention No distraction, nowhere to go Shallow, shallow Give it to me, give it to me Scissors cutting out your anger Shallow, shallow No good to me, not if you bleed Bite your tongue, ignore the splinter This city drains me Well, maybe it's the smell of gasoline The millions pain me It's easier to talk to my PC I live to function On my own is all I know No friends to mention No distraction, nowhere to go Shallow, shallow Give it to me, give it to me Scissors cutting out your anger Shallow, shallow No good to me, not if you bleed Bite your tongue, ignore the splinter (After it's, uh) (I guess I'll just get out of here) Shallow, shallow Give it to me, give it to me Scissors cutting out your anger Shallow, shallow No good to me, not if you bleed Bite your tongue, ignore the splinter

As the cheerless towns pass my window I can see a washed out moon through the fog And then a voice inside my head, breaks the analog And says "Follow me down to the valley below You know Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul" I survived against the will of my twisted folk But in the deafness of my world the silence broke And said "Follow me down to the valley below You know Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul" "Follow me down to the valley below You know Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul" "My David, don't you worry This cold world is not for you So rest your head upon me I have strength to carry you" Ghosts of the twenties rising Golden summers just holding you "Follow me down to the valley below (Follow me down, follow me down) You know Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul "Follow me down to the valley below (Follow me down, follow me down) You know Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul Come to us, Lazarus It's time for you to go"

Never stop the car on a drive in the dark Never look for the truth in your mother's eyes Never trust the sound of rain upon a river rushing through your ears Arriving somewhere, but not here Did you imagine the final sound as a gun? Or the smashing windscreen of a car? Did you ever imagine the last thing you'd hear as you're fading out was a song? Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh Arriving somewhere, but not here All my designs, simplified And all of my plans, compromised And all of my dreams, sacrificed Ever had the feeling you've been here before? Drinking down the poison the way you were taught Ever thought from here on in your life begins and all you knew was wrong? Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh Arriving somewhere, but not here All my designs, simplified And all of my plans, compromised And all of my dreams Did you see the red mist block your path? Did the scissors cut a way to your heart? Did you feel the envy for the sons of mothers tearing you apart? Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh Arriving somewhere, but not here

A tiny flame inside my hand A compromise I never planned Unravel out the finer strands And I'm looking at a blank page now Should I fill it up with words somehow? I whispered something in her ear I bare my soul, but she don't hear The scratching of a Mellotron, it always seemed to make her cry Well, maybe she remembers us, collecting space up in the sky The scratching of a Mellotron, it always seemed to make her cry Nothing rises from my feet of clay, but it's OK Red mist spreads across my fingertips, ardour slips I lay her gently on my clothes She will leave me, yes, I know And I'm looking at a blank page now Should I fill it up with words somehow? The scratching of a Mellotron, it always seemed to make her cry Well, maybe she remembers us, collecting space up in the sky The scratching of a Mellotron, it always seemed to make her cry Nothing rises from my feet of clay, but it's OK Red mist spreads across my fingertips, ardour slips Don't look at me with your mother's eyes, or your killer smile Sing a lullaby Well, maybe she remembers us, collecting space up in the sky Nothing rises from my feet of clay, but it's OK Red mist spreads across my fingertips, ardour slips Don't look at me with your mother's eyes, or your killer smile Sing a lullaby Don't look back into black Don't let the memory or the sound drag you down Don't look back into black Don't let the memory or the sound drag you down Don't look back into black To end as friends - so painful...

Nothing like this, felt in her kiss Cannot resist her Fell for her charm, lost in her arms I keep a photograph Give me a glimpse, let me come in Be there inside her Here it begins, here is the sin Something to lie about You think you're smart, I think you're art We agree on this It doesn't work, feeling like dirt Feeling like you don't care We get a room, and in the gloom She lights a cigarette Clothes on the bed, "Love me," she said I lose myself to her I'm getting feelings I'm hiding too well Bury the horse-shaped shell Something broke inside my stomach I let the pieces lie just where they fell Being with you is hell Hair blown in an open car Summer dress slips down her arm Hair blown in an open car Okay, what's next, after the sex? What do we do now? Finding the time, drawing the line And never crossing it Gave her the hours, gave her the power Cannot erase her Gave her the truth, gave her the proof I gave her everything I'm getting feelings I'm hiding too well (I hide the feelings far too well) Bury the horse-shaped shell Something broke inside my stomach I let the pieces lie just where they fell (I left the pieces where they fell) Being with you is hell Hair blown in an open car Summer dress slips down her arm Hair blown in an open car On a drive out to the farm Hair blown in an open car Hair blown in an open car Summer dress slips down your arm Hair blown in an open car

Always in my thoughts, you are Always in my dreams, you are I got your voice on tape, I got your spirit in a photograph Always out of reach, you are Cold inside my arms, you are Simple like a child, you are I remember when you took my hand and led me through the rain Down inside my soul, you are The more I show the way I feel, the less I find you give a damn The more I get to know, the less I find that I understand Innocent, the time we spent - forgot to mention, we're good friends You thought it was the start of something beautiful? Well think again Mother lost her looks for you Father never wanted you I trust to love, and then I find you never really felt the same There's something in your heart so cruel The more I show the way I feel, the less I find you give a damn The more I get to know, the less I find that I understand Innocent, the time we spent - forgot to mention, we're good friends You thought it was the start of something beautiful? Well think again The more I show the way I feel, the less I find you give a damn The more I get to know, the less I find that I understand Innocent, the time we spent - forgot to mention, we're good friends You thought it was the start of something beautiful? Well think again
