Temple in the Sky

(A metal dart
Has pierced my heart)
You’re my temple in the sky
When I feel blue
I come to you
And you’re so tender to my eyes
And when you moan
These gorgeous drones
Make pretty textures in my ears
And in my lungs
These little drums
Have beaten me for sixteen years
I’ve got you naked in my head
And I will love you ‘til I’m dead
Two years’ time will end your prime
But the sounds will not have bled
Five cigarettes
Have me in debt
But I’ll share with you this one
While dirty names
Light up my brain
They come with whispers from your tongue
Now count to six
With cancer sticks
Pull the scalpel to my chest
‘Cause nothing’s to
As I love you
You know how to kill me best

In Your Heart My House
03:29

Framed
Inside my mind's eye
And lit with a backlight
Your face calls me home
I'll surf
Back to the Seine
You meet me then
And kiss me with smoke breath
The cars and buildings don't find you pretty
But I do
Standing still with their eyes looking forward
Like they don't see you
And in your heart
I'll find my house
Homely and sweet
And that's where we'll meet
And in my dreams
I see you as you are
Home isn't far
It comforts me so
I miss Paris

Babe, I love you so much
When I pull you to my mouth
And I inhale all you give me
All your vapors falling out
And with you between my fingers
And with you between my lips
Well my head, it gets all fuzzy
And my eyes become eclipsed
And you gave me a sore throat, but I don't mind
And you're killing me real slow, but I guess I don't mind too much
Now we make love on God's property
There's nowhere else to go
Rain is pouring where we're walking
And all my dad's friends can't know
And I never have been in love
I am only seventeen
But I do love you in some way
You keep me from looking clean
Beauty, there's something about ya

Mother
03:27
|

|
She talks about death
The guardian angels take a breath
And sigh so deep, 'cause all that's left's
A ball and chain that they protect
I don't wanna be her mother
Anymore
And I can't be her blood supply
Her pupils cave and fill with white
I don't wanna be her mother
Anymore
And I can't be her only one
Her feelings fade, her life is done
She walks in her sleep
She disregards and pushes deep
And takes their souls for herself to keep
The end, the end, they halt and weep

Jaws

I wanted her to come over
She never answered me
Now something's closing in
And I can't help but feel
That nothing's gonna happen
Nothing's gonna happen
Again
Do you think she likes it when I look at her through a magnifying glass?
Well someone said she loves me, is it so?
Someone said she loves me, is it so?
I want our jaws to get bigger
To swallow each other whole
But that initial rush faded for me
And your mouth's gonna grow
Now nothing's as I dream it
Nothing's as I dream it
In my head
Now I'm only half there
And that's not fair, but I have no control
Well someone said she loves me, is it so?
Someone said she loves me, is it so?
I feel so drained
I think I want some acid
To figure out what's going on in my head
Well someone said she loves me, is it dead?
Someone said she loves me, is it so?

House of Dust

Baby, kiss me in a hospital bed
It's early morning and I don't want head yet
Dawn's not past yet and my blood's still fresh
But when the moon hits I'll be fucking my death
Clouds of smoke to clouds of dust
When she invites, accept I must
She sends her sex through the post
But I'm scared too get close
Pall Mall. push me to my hospital bed
I can't quit you baby, take my breath
Nuclear bombs, stay at home tonight
But if I see you, will you pass me a light?
Smoke up

Life Companion

Baby caffeine, she said to me
That all I need to do is die
I'm on a loop down on harbour passage
And all I wanna do is cry
Maybe I should quit smoking
Maybe I'm not that scared
That scared of dying, how would I know?
I've never tried it, and all that I know
Is that I'm so excited to be with you
I'm so excited to be with you
You're my screw
Baby shitstain, that's my new name
I only wanna close my eyes
And maybe someday I'll be fulfilled
And I'll lift the spirits in my mind

See You Tomorrow

She said she can't promise anything
And when it ends, there'll be nothing more
I said, "oh God, don't let me die too soon"
I will defend forever
And when I look behind my back
It's all for you who I protect
Eyes made to see, pack made to kill
Mind made to love you, you're my thrill
She said, "come on, I wanna go back where
We were before, that place of dark despair"
I said, "not now, don't wanna go back there"
I will defend forever
When I look over my shoulder
I just want you to be safe
On the tracks our time declines 'cause
On the tracks I whet our blade

Caroline No

(Written by Brain Wilson and Tony Asher)
Where did your long hair go?
Where is the girl I used to know?
How could you lose that happy glow?
Oh, Caroline, no
Who took your look away?
I remember how you used to say
You'd never change, but that's not true
Oh, Caroline, you
Oh, Caroline, you break my heart, I want to go and cry
It's so sad to watch a sweet thing die
Oh, Caroline, why?

Retreat

Baby
Why have you left me?
My chest is hollowed out
Your voice is gone
Baby
My head's still fuzzy
Just as it was when
You followed me around
Baby
When you came to me
I thought I had you back for good
Then I thought harder than I should
And all your skin just turned to wood
Now every day I'm bored as hell
For I retreat to no one else
Baby
I'll recreate you
But not the same you
There's only one
Never
No, I have never
Loved someone so much
Like I do you
Let me
Let you strike my heart again
For I do breathe for no one else
And frames of you lay on my shelf
You're heaven and the rest is hell
Now every day I'm bored as hell
For I retreat to no one else
Breathe babe, breathe into my ears again
I wanna feel you right again
And keep until my life is spent
Your tongue is cold, your smile is bent
Now every day I'm bored as hell
For I retreat to no one else
