ng 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 to hide
And from the yellow windows of the last train A spectre from the next life breathes his fog on the 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 you had Of your mum and dad On a beach somewhere And the poison air With the cancer threat In a cigarette Deadwing lullaby Find a place


2. Shallow

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 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


3. Lazarus

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 analogue 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"
"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 You know Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul Come to us Lazarus It's time for you to go"


4. Halo

God is in my fingers God is in my head God is in the trigger God is in the lead
God is freedom, God is truth God is power and God is proof God is fashion, God is fame God gives meaning, God give pain
You can be right like me With God in the hole you're a righteous soul I got a halo round me, I got a halo round me I'm not the same as you Cos I've seen the light and I'm gaining in height now I got a halo round me, I got a halo round me I got a halo round my head
God is on the cellphone God is on the net God is in the warning God is in the threat


5. Arriving Somewhere but not Here

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 shattered windows of a car? Did you ever imagine the last thing you'd hear as you're fading out was a song?
All my designs simplified And all of my plans compromised All of my dreams sacrificed
Ever had the feeling you've been here before? Drinking down the poison the way you were taught Every thought from here on in your life begins and all you knew was wrong?
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?


6. Mellotron Scratch

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
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
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


7. Open Car

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 give 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 blow in an open car Summer dress slips down her arm Hair blown in an open car
OK what's next? After the sex What do we 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 to 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 blow 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..


8. The Start of Something Beautiful

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 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


9. Glass Arm Shattering

Feeling all your touching Feeling all your blood Feeling all your touching Felling all your love
Seen it though a windscreen Seen through the glass Seen it in a bad dream Seen it in your heart
