Pain from pearls - hey little girl - how much have you grown? Pain from pearls - hey little girl - flower for the ones you've known. Chorus: Are you on fire, from the years? What would you give for your kid fears? Secret staircase, running high, you had a hiding place. Secret staircase, running low, but they all know, now you're inside. Chorus Skipping stones, we know the price now any sin will do How much further, if you can spin. How much further, if you are smooth. Chorus Bridge Replace the rent with the stars above Replace the need with love. Replace the anger with the tide. Replace the ones, the ones, the ones, that you love.

My place is of the sun, and this place is of the dark, and (and I-hii) I do not feel the romance I do not catch the spark I don't know when I noticed life was life at my expense the words of my heart lined up like prisoners on a fence the angry feelings came in like needy children tugging at my sleeve I said I have no way of feeding you so leave there was a time I asked my father for a dollar and he gave it a ten dollar raise when I needed my mother and I called her she stayed with me for days (daay-eehh-hayys) chorus now someone's on the telephone desperate in his pain someone's on the bathroom floor doin her cocaine someone's got his finger on the button in some room no one can convince me we are gluttons for our doom but I tried to make this place my place I asked for providence to smile upon me with his sweet face and I'll tell you my place is of the sun, and this place is of the dark, and (and I-hii) I do not feel the romance I do not catch the spark my place is of the sun, and this place is of the dark, and (and I-hii) and I will not be a pawn for the Prince of Darkness Maybe there's no haven in this world for tender age my heart beat like the wings of wild birds in a cage my greatest hope my greatest cause to grieve and my heart flew from its cage and it bled upon my sleeve the cries of passion were like wounds that needed healing I couldn't from the thunder I was half the naked distance between hell and heaven's ceiling and he almost pulled me under (ohhh-uhh-hooo) chorus |

i have spent nights with matches and knives leaning over ledges only two flights up cutting my heart, burning my soul nothing left to hold nothing left but blood and fire you have spent nights thinking of me missing my arms but you needed to leave leaving my cuts, leaving my burns hoping i'd learn but blood and fire are too much for these restless arms to hold and my nights of desire they're calling me back to your fold and i am calling you, calling you from 10,000 miles away won't you whet my fire with your love babe i am looking for someone who can take as much as i give and give back as much as i need you know and they still have the will to live ah no cause i am intense, i am in need i am in pain, i am in love and i feel forsaken you know like the things i gave away and blood and fire are too much for these restless arms to hold and my nights of desire they're calling me back to your fold and i am calling you, calling you from 10,000 miles away won't you whet my fire with your love babe, babe, babe i am intense, i am in need, i am in pain, i am in love you know i am intense, i am in need, i am in pain, i am in love i am intense, i am in need, i am in pain, i am in love and blood and fire are too much for these restless arms to hold and my nights of desire they're calling me back to your fold and i am calling you, calling you from 10,000 miles away won't you whet my fire with your love babe won't you whet my fire with your love babe now whet my fire with your love |

From baby to best with no second test, little storms destroy you. Here is the fame they promised to give you, taking the place of my hand now. Chorus: Did you try to be true? What separates me from you? What separates me from you now? Did you borrow the soul the soul that you sell now? What does your conscience tell you? Where are the demons of your desire? Why does my love destroy you? I said I tried to be true, What separates me from you. I said I tried, tried to be true What separates me from you. What separates me from you now? So where is the fame, Where is the fortune? Where is the world that denies you? Who is to blame, When my heart finally forfeits to a road that will only misguide you? Did we try to be true? What separates me from you? Did we try, try to be true? What separates me from you . . . I bought my love a hunger more precious than a stone. All these fatal flowers, Did I misguide you? (where is the world that denies you) (tried to be true) Originally submitted by ? Reformatted and extracted to a single lyric file by Doug Henkle |

during the time of which i speak it was hard to turn the other cheek to the blows of insecurity feeding the cancer of my intellect the blood of love soon neglected lay dying in the strength of its impurity meanwhile our friends we thought were so together they've all gone and left each other in search of fairer weather and we sit here in our storm and drink a toast to the slim chance of love's recovery there i am in younger days, star gazing painting picture perfect maps of how my life and love would be not counting the unmarked paths of misdirection my compass, faith in love's perfection i missed ten million miles of road i should have seen meanwhile our friends we thought were so together left each other one by one on the road to fairer weather and we sit here in our storm and drink a toast to the slim chance of love's recovery rain soaked and voice choked like silent screaming in a dream i search for our absolute distinction not content to bow and bend to the whims of culture that swoop like vultures eating us away, eating us away eating us away to our extinction oh how i wish i were a trinity so if i lost a part of me i'd still have two of the same to live but nobody gets a lifetime rehearsal as specks of dust we're universal to let this love survive would be the greatest gift that we could give tell all the friends who think they're so together that these are ghosts and mirages all these thoughts of fairer weather though it's storming out I feel safe within the arms of love's discovery words and music emily saliers copyright 1988 by godhap music (bmi |

laughing in a crown of jewels numbness from a scepters wound toss and turn, i spin and learn catch yourself before you burn a joker's dance before the king jangling beads, and silver rings close your eyes and bare the sound jumping up - falling down falling, falling, falling, falling down look yourself in the eye before you drown royal rebels discover you trust you turn there is no truth and circle, circle, why are you scared why a smile instead of tears i'm gulping smoke i fade away figures floating down to lay i meet the joker and the thief the king and queen but - no relief falling, falling, falling, falling down look yourself in the eye before you drown falling, falling, falling, falling down look yourself in the eye before you drown i cross myself before i die and the leaping man, he asks me, why well your rhythm is off i reply now you must dance the dance that you imply your actions will follow you full circle round the higher the leap, i said the harder the ground! |

I went all the way to Paris to forget your face Captured in stained glass, young lives long since passed Statues of lovers every place I went all across the continent to relieve this restless love I walked through the ruins, icons of glory Smashed by the bombs from above Chorus: So we must love while these moments are still called today Take part in the pain of this passion play Stretched our youth as we must, until we are ashes to dust Until time makes history of us. Jeu de Paume's full of faces knowing peace, knowing strife Leisure and toil, still it's canvas and oil There's just no medium for life In the midst of the rubble I felt a sense of rebirth In a dusty cathedral the living God called And I prayed for my life here in earth Chorus There are mountains in Switzerland, brillian cold as they stand From my hotel room, watching the half-moon Bleeding its light like a lamb And the town is illuminated, its tiny figures are fast asleep And it dawns on me the time is upon me To return to the flock I must keep.

You can go to the East
To find your, inner hemisphere. You say we're under the same sky babe, You're bound to realize, Honey, it's not that clear. I'm not your promise land I'm not your promise one I'm not your Land of Canaan, sweetheart, Waiting for you under the sun. I'm lonely tonight, I'm missing you now. I'm wanting your love and you're giving it out. I'm lonely tonight, I'm lonely tonight, I'm lonely tonight. Well the meanings changed (for what it's worth), It's just a senseless game. I should think of love, but it's fear every time I hear Your heart strain. It's not the fallen man, It's not the call of time, It's just the London skyline Telling me you're not mine. I'm lonely tonight, I'm missing you now. I'm wanting your love and you're giving it out. I'm lonely tonight, I'm lonely tonight, I'm lonely tonight. My blood is running dry, My skin is, my skin is growing thin For every time you find yourself You lose a little bit of me, from within. It's just a raging cycle, why can't we Bring it all to the end of the line. From inside this existence, sweetheart, Time is not on my side. I'm lonely tonight, I'm missing you now. I'm wanting your love and you're giving it out. I'm lonely tonight, I'm lonely tonight, I'm lonely tonight. I'm not your promised land, I'm not your promised one. I'm not your promised land, I'm not your promised one. I'm not your Land of Canaan Sweetheart, I'm not your Land of Canaan Sweetheart, I'm not your Land of Canaan Sweetheart, Waiting for you under the sun, I'm lonely tonight. |

Laughing in a crown of jewels,
Numbness from a scepter's wound. Toss and Turn, I spin and learn, "Catch yourself before you burn." A joker's dance before the king, Jangling beads, a silver ring. Close your eyes and bare the sound, Jumping up-falling down. Falling, Falling, Falling, Falling down. Look yourself in the eye before you drown. Royal rebels discover you. Trust? you turn there is no truth. And circle, circle, why are you scared? Why a smile instead of tears? I'm gulping smoke to fade away. Figures floating down to lay. Meet the joker and the thief, The king and queen but-no relief. Falling, Falling, Falling, Falling down. Look yourself in the eye before you drown. "The king is in the counting house, counting out his money" {Look yourself in the eye before you drown. Falling, Falling, Falling, Falling down.} Falling, Falling, Falling, Falling down. Look yourself in the eye before you drown. "The queen is in her parlour, eating bread and honey" {Look yourself in the eye before you drown. Falling, Falling, Falling, Falling down.} Falling, Falling, Falling, Falling down. Look yourself in the eye before you drown. [instrumental] "Mary had a little lamb" I cross myself before I die The leaping man, he asks me, "why?" "Well your rhythm is off" I reply, "Now you must dance the dance That you imply!" "Your actions will follow you full circle round, Your actions will follow you full circle round, Your actions will follow you full circle round, Your actions will follow you full circle round, The higher the leap, I said, The harder the ground!" |
