Aztec Camera - Knife (2006) by Aztec Camera (보컬) on maniadb.com

I'm in love with everything
That breaks the grip of caution
On our getting up and leaving
For a bigger day, still some say
That all you need is money
To be free from what is poor
Well that's the lie of looking up
From somewhere down.
Chorus:
Because the sun will show to testify
That all the time between belongs to you and I,
To be still on fire,
And when the strongest words have all been used
And all the new ones sound confused,
To be still on fire.
Somewhere in the middle
We could see through all the people
And be playing second fiddle
And be feeling sore,
Shown the door.
To chase out all the child in you
Is throwing out the baby for the
Chance to make it easy to be more.
Chorus

Stuck in my beat suede shoes I can't wait,
Oh what a state to be in.
I need her heart and get a Jack-jones for my sins,
She's gonna ditch that shining, sick machine
And be speeding straight my way.
But I'm churning in neutral, turning in a circle,
Just like the USA.
The secret is silver, it's to shine and never simply survive
And don't swallow substitutes and never see second prize.
'Cos I know that my might could change my mind,
And I'm told that by rights it's not my find.
I'd be a tribute to temptation in it's glory and it's grave,
But I'm churning in neutral, turning in a circle,
Just like the USA.
The secret is silver, it's to shine and never simply survive
And don't swallow substitutes and never see second prize.
'Cos I know that my might could change my mind,
And I'm told that by rights it's not my find.
I'd be a tower to your highest hopes,
That no southern star could sway,
But I'm churning in neutral, turning in a circle,
Just like the USA.
I hear those rhyming bells and heed the words they say,
And with a string of diamelles I'll steal her heart away.
'Cos I know that my might could change my mind,
And I'm told that by rights it's not my find.
In my star-bangled sailor suit,
I'd be the pioneer by day,
But I'm churning in neutral, turning in a circle,
Just like the USA.

I recall the biggest beach,
Throwing stones, almost alone except for,
Something just outside of reach,
And I'd swear I wouldn't say and then I'd,
Paint me up into a scene,
And throw me like a party which had,
Come and stayed and left and been,
And had still refused to end.
Chorus:
And if your head is happy, and your heart's insane,
I'll take you there,
When you throw your thunder and you snap my reins,
I'll make you care.
Since I'm scattered and deranged,
I shall seek your holy lunacy, and,
Laugh will joy and laugh with pain,
So don't say I didn't say,
Or I'll remember a Texan man,
When he spoke in major sevenths and I'd,
I'd get my gun and blow his tan,
And banish him from heaven.
Chorus
My mind has torn it's tack to you,
My feet can't wait to go,
That's why I'm coming back to you,
You know I'm coming, you know I'm coming,
You'll feel my coming like a gun from below.
Chorus

Tears, just like the jewels,
Adorn their corporate crown,
Weigh on me worthless and I,
Shake them down and leave now,
And have no royal things.
You, would consecrate the ground,
I paced in pain,
And though those pavements,
Caught your sorrow stains,
They fall from me and I say,
Maybe don't fall for anything,
That says it's never gonna,
Give you everything.
I wish myself into your arms,
To know that all I need is everything.
The size of the sea, and the sun in my eyes,
And the line in my head,
Yearning for more, only for more.
These days are are bright as the days I have seen
In the wildest of dreams,
Yearning for more, only for more.
I wish myself into your arms,
To know that all I need is everything.
Hold back the night, I am tired of my sight
That won't see anymore,
More than today, threatening to stay.
Hold back the night, I am tired of my sight
That won't see anymore,
""Show me you care"", is
""Show me the door"".

Craze my hair and shine my shoes,
And kiss the kiss that I could lose,
And I looked at what I have,
And I have one wish,
And I looked back in your eyes,
And there were two words,
Backwards and forwards.
Here lies the essence of my peers,
Handshakes, hellos and golden years,
See it smiling through its teeth,
It's the whore who has to die,
Unhappy, underneath,
And it's long learned not to show it,
Get backwards and forwards.
How come when I'm gone I get the blues?
Or something special that I might confuse,
With getting gifts I'm not at liberty to use.
It's cold to the touch and older than I know,
And when the world's with me too much,
I say she comes and then it goes.
Could completeness still appeal,
To one who thinks what he should feel?
And it stares me in the face,
And holds me speechless,
And I look back in your eyes,
And see your eyes gaze,
See your eyes gaze into mine,
Forever.

Like a child could have the trigger
And the best man needn't fall
To understand that heaven
Could be any place at all

Just five colours set in motion
And I try again to place it
And it features are obscure
Everytime I turn to face it

But I still chase it

Oh its twists are cruel and hopeless
Like neglet has worn it thin
And it could rip the sky wide open
And let the rain come tumbling

And we wait on every whisper
Like it makes us more alive
There's a sense we didn't have
And I feel it in the other five

See the pity and the pride
In the same sea of emotion
Cut my hands and touch the tide
And expect to feel the ocean
It's just a notion

And the knife has got my number
And the number that you keep
And the knife is called division
And it's drawn when I'm asleep

Oh its twists are cruel and hopeless
Like neglet has worn it thin
And it could rip the sky wide open
And let the rain come tumbling
