twilight fades
through  blistered avalon
the  sky's cruel torch
 on aching  autobahn
into  the uncertain divine
we  scream into  the last divide
you make  me real
you make  me real
strong  as i feel
you make  me real
Sheila rides on  crashing nightingale
intake eyes leave  passing vapour trails
with  blushing brilliance alive
because  it's time  to arrive
you make  me real
you make  me real
strong as  i feel
you make  me real
lately  I just can't  seem to believe
discard  my friends to change  the scenery
it  meant the world to hold  a bruising faith
 but now  it's just a matter  of grace
a  summer storm graces  all of me
highway warm sing  silent poetry
I  could bring  you the light
and  take you home  into the night
lately  I just can't  seem to believe
discard  my friends to change  the scenery
it  meant the world to hold  a bruising faith
 but now  it's just a matter  of grace
 
 
 
 It's  you that I adore
 You will always  be my heart
 You'll be a mother  to my child,  and a child  to my heart
We  must never  be apart
We  must never  be apart
 Lovely girl, you're the murder  in my world
 Without you  there aren't  reasons left  to fight
 (Play intro chords again)
 And I'll pull  your crooked teeth
 You'll be  perfect just like me
 You'll be a lover  in my bed,  and a gun  to my head
We  must never  be apart
We  must never  be apart
 Lovely girl, you're the murder  in my world
 Dressing coffings  for the  souls I've left  to die
Drinking  mercury  to the mystery
 Of all  that you should  ever seek  to find...  in time
 (Play intro chords again)
 In you  I see dirty
 In you  I count stars
 In you  I feel so pretty
 In you  I taste god
 In you  I feel so hungry
 In you  I crash cars
We  must never  be apart
 (Guitar solo, starting from the last chord: Cm, D5, Bm, A9)
Drinking  mercury  to the mystery
 Of all  that you should  ever seek  to find
Lovely  girl, you're the  murder in my world
 Dressing coffings  for the  souls I've left  behind...  in time
We  must never  be apart
 It's you  that I adore
 You will  always be my heart
 And I'll pull  your crooked teeth
 You'll be perfect  just like me
In  you I feel so dirty
In  you I crash cars
In  you I feel so pretty
In  you I taste god
i  know we're  just like old friends
you  just can't pretend
that  lovers make  amends
we  are reasons  so unreal
we  can't help But feel
 that something  has Been lost
so  please you know  you're just like  me
next  time i promise we'll  Be...
perfect,  perfect,  perfect
strangers  down the  line
lover  out of time
memories unwind
so  far i still  know who you  are
But  now i wonder  who i was
angel you  know it's not the  end
we'll  always Be good friends
your  letters have Been  sent on
so  please you always were so free
you'll  see i promise  we'll Be
perfect,  perfect
strangers  when we meet
strangers  on the street
lovers  while we meet
perfect
you  know this has to  Be
we  always were so  free
we  promise that we'll Be
perfect,  perfect,  perfect
 
 
with  the sugar sickness
you  spy the kidnap kid
who  kids you to oblivion
it's  the perfect hassle
for  the perfumed kiss
he  makes you miss him more than home
 you love  him
 you love  him more than this
  you love  him and you cannot  you can't resist
 you  love him
 you love  him for yourself
  you love  him and no  one no one else
past  sidewalk ashes
a  last lovers arc
you  come apart to intertwine
it  was all so simple
as  you watched him move
across  the darkness in your room
 you  love him
 you love  him for yourself
  you love  him and no  one no  one else
and  to the winding vines
the  pretty boys dive
and  thru the pinhole stars
into  the shadow mind
will  you lose him then
on  some gentle dawn
this  boy is here and gone
 you  love him
 you love  him for yourself
  you love  him and no  one no one else
 you love  him
 you love  him more than this
  you love  him and you cannot  you can't resist
 you love  him
 you love  him
 you love  him
 you love  him
 you love  him
 you love  him
 you love  him
Mother I'm tired
 come surrender my son
time  has ravaged on my soul
 no plans  to leave but still  I go
Falling  with the leaves
falling  out of sleep
to  the last goodbyes
 who cares why
Mother I've tried
wasting my life
 I haven't  given up I lied
 to make  you so proud in my eyes
Falling  out of sleep
crawling  over me
to  the last goodbyes
 who cares why
Tuesday's come  and gone
restless still  I drive
try  to leave  it all behind
Falling  out of sleep
falling  with the leaves
I  go crawling over me
Once  upon a time in my  life
Once  upon a time in my  life
Once  upon a time in my  life
Once  upon a time in my  life
 I've went falling
falling
mother  I hope  you know
that  I miss  you so
time  has ravaged on my soul
 to wipe  a mother's tears grown cold
 
 
 
 
 the  lights came  on fast
 lost  in motorcrash
 gone  in  a flash  unreal
 but you  knew all  along
 you  laugh the light
 I sing the songs
 to  watch you numb
 I saw you there
 you were on your way
 you held the  rain  and for the first time
heaven seemed  insane
 cause heaven is  to blame
 for taking you away
do  you know the way that I  can?
do  you know the way that I can't lose?
do  you know the things that I  can?
do  you know the things that I can't  do?
where  is your heart?
where  is your heart gone to?
tear  me apart
tear  me apart from you
you  laugh the light I cry the wound
in  grey afternoons
 I saw you there
 you were on your way
 you kissed me cold  and for the first time
heaven seemed  insane
 for taking you away
 cause heaven is  to blame
 for taking you
 
 
 
 
 the lights came  to pass
 dead opera motorcrash
gone in  a flash  unreal
 in nitrous overcast
do  you know the way that I  can?
do  you know the way that I can't choose?
do  you know the things that I  can?
do  you know the things that I can't  lose?
tear  me apart
tear  me apart from you
where  is your heart?
where  has your heart run to?
 
 who am I  to need  you when I'm down
 and where are you  when I  need you around
 your life  is not  your own  and all I ask you
is  for another chance
another way  around  you
to  live by circumstance once  again
 who am I  to need  you now
 to ask you why  to tell  you no
 to deserve your love  and sympathy
 you were never meant  to belong  to me
 and you may go  but I know  you won't leave
 too many years  built into  memories
 your life  is not  your own
 who am I  to need  you now
 to ask you why  to tell  you no
 to deserve your love  and sympathy
 you were never meant  to belong  to me
 
who  am I  to you?
 along the way  I lost my faith
 and as you were  you'll be  again
 to mold like clay  to break  like dirt
 to tear me up  in your sympathy
 you were never meant  to belong  to me
 you were never meant  to belong  to me
 you were never meant  to belong  to me
 who am I?
 who am I?
 who am I?
 who am I?
 who am I?
 who am I?
 
what  if the sun  refused to shine?
 what if the clouds  refused to rain?
what  if the wind  refused to blow?
 what if the seas  refused to wave?
what  if the world  refused to turn?
 what if the stars  would hesitate?
 what if what is isn't true?
 what are  you going to do?
 what if what is isn't you?
 does that mean  you've got to lose?
 digging for the feel  of something new
what  if the silence  let you dream?
 what if the air  could let you breathe?
what  if the words  would bring you here?
 what if this sound  could bring you peace?
 what if what is isn't true?
 what are  you going to do?
 digging for the feel  of something new
 what if what is isn't you?
 what are  you going to do?
 it came from your thoughts  your dreams  and visions
 ripped up from your weeks  and indecisions
what  if the sun  refused to shine?
 what if the clouds  refused to rain?
what  if the world  refused to turn?
 what if the clocks  would hesitate?
 what if what is isn't true?
 what are  you going to do?
 what if what is isn't you?
 does that mean  you've got to lose?
 digging for the feel  of something new
 does that mean  you've got to choose?
 the feel of something new
 does that mean  you've got to lose?
 the thoughts you cannot lose
 what are  you gonna do?

kiss  and kill  me sweetly
come  and drive  me home
drag  the miles  in me
I  am yours  alone
inside where  it's warm
wrap  myself in you
outside where  I'm torn
fight  myself in two
 in two  into  you
 
 
desire  me  so deeply
drain  and kick  me hard
whisper secrets for  me
try  to go  too far
inside where  it's warm
wrap  myself in you
outside where  I'm torn
fight  myself in two
 in two  in two
please  don't change
please  don't change  at all
bring  your rain
bring  your rain  to fall
inside where  it's warm
wrap  myself in you
outside where  I'm torn
fight  myself in two
 in two  into  you
 
come  and kiss  me sweetly
ride  the telephone
drag  the miles  to me
I  am yours  alone
yours  alone
yours  alone  on the telephone
yours  alone  looking for a kiss  kiss
yours  alone
 
dusty screams  through doors  and imaginary floors
 "why can't  you miss  me?"
pistol pete  removes  the final  breaths from her  unkind  and she is shaken
 what does this mean  in love or in peace?
 with you lying next to me
 so faithless serene  and she calls  to him
 let the waste  cross the ancient trails  to you
far  out beneath the sorrow clouds
 let them taste  the bitter lost mistake  of you
 let them cry  out through your rusted scars
alone  he roams  inside  the ordinary catacombs  of her waiting
with  raven hands  she steals  and staggers  towards her man
 still scorned  by his demon
 because he's undone
 become the language of
 disaster and love  vengeance and dust
 and she calls  to him
 let the waste  cross the ancient trails  to you
far  out beneath the sorrow clouds
 let them taste  the bitter lost mistake  of you
 let them cry  out through your rusted scars
 
dusty screams  through doors  and imaginary scenes
 of hurt  and teardrop
 as he holds her down  in the cold lonely winds
 together again  her inside him
 and she calls  to him
 let the waste  cross the ancient trails  to you
far  out beneath the sorrow clouds
 let them taste  the bitter lost mistake  of you
 let them cry  out through your rusted scars
 
 amphetamine  annie-dog
 has her leash  and a face
 her velvet spleen  her shackle  spine
 her diamond curse  it comes with mine
 a vessel she
 for violent I
 confession arms  a wake
mine mine  you were always mine
possessed by  my taste
 and below  the angel dog
 combs her hair  and sings her psalms
 the bombs go off  she doesn't notice
 it all goes wrong  she sets things tragic
 she is venus  she is mars
 she's electric  and the struggle of
upon  her face  we leave no trace
 but in  her stomach  mercury  aged
 she holds  the blood  she carves  the knives
 she digs  the wires  in our babies
 amphetamine  annie-dog
 pulls her trash  and her stories
 from place to place  and bed to bed
 gives of herself  and the magnet head
 another floor  another ceiling
 counting stars  with double meanings
is  it wrong  to be swallowed whole
 to disappear  in her
 to give  to her  the priceless peace
 of giving up  control
 we tumble out  into the streets
 and annie-dog  she drags her leash
 pretty face  ugly mouth
 bitter bred  and so released
 
 
 and by the no  and in the yes
 annie goes  if you couldn't guess
 a simple man  a sycophant
 her elephant  with the laughing cough
 she wants clean sheets and  fresh flowers
 and dental shots  and the hong kong glue
 amphetamine  annie-dog
 has her leash  and a face

I've  faced the fathoms in your deep
withstood  the suitors quiet siege
pulled  down the heavens just to please you
 appease you  the wind blows  and I know
 
 
 I can't go on  digging roses from your grave
 to linger on  beyond the beyond
 where the willows weep
 and whirlpools sleep  you'll find me
 the coarse tide  reflects sky
 and the night  mare rides on
 and the night  mare rides on
 with a december  black psalm
 and the night  mare rides on
 what I fear  is lost here
 the wind blows  and I know
 all you have to do is run away
 and steal yourself from me
 become a mystery to gaze into
 you're so cruel in all you do
 but still I believe I believe in you
 
 
so  may you come with your own knives
 you'll never take me alive
 with all the force of what is true
 is there nothing I can do?
 I can't go on  digging roses from your grave
 to linger on  beyond the beyond
 where the willows weep
  and whirlpools sleep  you'll find me
 and the night  mare rides on
 and the night  mare rides on
 with a december  black psalm
 and the night  mare rides on
 
I've  faced the fathoms in your deep
withstood  the suitors quiet siege
pulled  down the heavens just to please  you
to  hold the flower I can't keep
whenever  I run
wherever  I run  to you lost one
it's  never done
just  hanging on
 the past has let  me be
  returning  as if dream
  shattered as  belief
if  you have to go don't say goodbye
if  you have to go don't you cry
if  you have to go I will get  by
 someday I'll follow  you and see  you on the other side
but  for the grace of love
I'd  will the meaning of
heaven  from above
but  for the grace of love
I'd  will the meaning of
heaven  from above
 your picture out  of time
  left aching  in my mind
  shadows kept alive
if  you have to go don't say goodbye
if  you have to go don't you cry
if  you have to go I will get  by
 I will follow  you and see  you on the other side
 
 
but  for the grace of love
I'd  will the meaning of
heaven  from above
but  for the grace of love
Who'd  will the meaning of
heaven  from above
 long horses we  are born
  creatures  more than torn
  mourning our  way home
 
 
blank page  was all  the rage
 never meant  to say  anything
 in bed  I was half dead
 tired of dreaming  of rest
 got dressed  drove the state line
 looking for you  at the five and dime
 stop sign  told me stay  at home
 told me you  were not alone
 blank page  was all  the rage
 never meant  to hurt  anyone
 in bed  I was half dead
 tired of dreaming  of rest
you haven't changed
 you're still the same
may  you rise  as you fall
 
you  were easy you  are forgotten
you  are the ways  of my mistakes
 
I  catch the rainfall
through  the leaking  roof
that  you had left behind
 you remind me
 of that leak in  my soul
the  rain falls
my  friends call
leaking rain  on the phone
take  a day  plant some  trees
 may they shade  you from me
 may your children  play beneath
blank page  was all  the rage
 never meant  to say  anything
 in bed  I was half dead
 tired of dreaming  of rest
 got dressed  drove the state line
 looking for you  at the five and dime
 but there I was  picking pieces up
you  are a ghost
 of my indecision
no  more little  girl
