I need some crayon light
I need some colouring in I need somebody who's going to give in I need my own moon landing I need a mission to Mars I need to carry out repairs by the light of your star You say you're missing my voice now Yea, I'm missing it too I'm missing my voice when it's talking to you I'm hearing your voice now And here I go again Coming over like mist be coming rain All this serves to tell me Is maybe there's no ladders in this game at all All this serves to tell me is maybe only snakes Like the one in the garden that has to crawl All this serves to tell me Is maybe there's no ladders in this game at all All this serves to tell me is maybe only snakes Like the one in the garden fucked it all I need to smile like an Angel I need to smile like a Fool I need to smile like I'm pissing In your swimming pool |

I should have known
By the arc of the empty wine glass I should have known 'Cause you step on, don't walk over cracks Looking over my shoulder To see you looking back over yours But you were paying the ferryman Even after Chris said don't But you're not Maud Gonne Not Maud Gonne No you're not Maude Gonne You're not Maud Gonne But then again neither was she The only one talking now Is my alphabet soup I'd say you'd like children But you couldn't eat a whole one The only one talking now Is my alphabet soup And he's on a loop I should have known But I only caught a glimpse I should have known It was a beautiful Red wine soaked glimpse I was other peoples' children I could always be sent home In front of someone else's Blue screen For someone else's show What's that you're saying to me Tomato coated spaghetti? It's gonna be OK |

I went 'round to stand in your hall
To watch you descend While your taxi slowed Outside my home For the last drive by I went 'round for to fill your sail What a way to wake What a way to wake We're cracking with the break of day And God gave us guts To have feelings, to spill But why would you let them show When they look like this What a way to wake What a way to wake We're cracking with the break of day Break the day Break the day With your fire light We'll break the day |

You left it, I sent it
I want it back You left it, I sent it I want it back If I had you here, I'd clip your wings Snap you up and leave you sprawling on my pin This plan of mine is oh so very lame Can't you see the grass is greener where it rains You left, I died, I went and you cried You came, I think But I never really know I've served my time I've watched you climb The wrong incline But what do I know Accept it, Don't let it Turn the screw Accept it, And let it Scream back at you Now this applies both equally to you and I The only thing we share Is the same sky These empty metaphors They're all in vain Like can't you see the grass is greener where it rains In the garden Snake was a charmin' And Eve said let's give it a try Now lead us not into temptation But no matter how hard I try When in the garden and Snake is a charmin' And Eve says let's give it a try Eve is the apple of my eye And I lie behind you And a cradle you in the palm of me And I pat your hair down I think will we sink or swim? 'Cause we could do either on a whim |

It was part of our experiment
Went you said go and I went Like a gooseberry on Noah's ark I watched them file in two by two And I set sail without you And we were carried on the flood of your tears Time pulls a face when I'm next to you Let's hope the wind changes Time pulled a face when I'm next to you Let's hope the wind changes Now I'm looking for dry land As all this crying subsides But I'm like Columbus in India I'm a little all over the shop Like those souvenirs from Knock That come all the way from China Time pulls a face when I'm next to you Let's hope the wind changes Time pulled a face when I'm next to you Let's hope the wind changes 'cause we'd be stuck in this place For an age or two I hope the wind changes And the vacuum in space will draw me to you I hope the wind changes I'm not over you, can I get back under |

Out into pitch black
Where the moon lay upon its back Driving deep into the throat Of the countryside Strapped tight into Centre of scene Starry open attic night No headline hits happen here About what do I write So sad the pull I feel Is a push into out of sight Hard not to look behind When there's something On your back On your soul On your mind Let time pass by Circles fly Time can wet and roll a Tear from the eye Strapped tight into Centre of scene Starry open attic night No headline hits happen here About what do I write So sad the pull I feel Is a push into out of sight |

This one's for you
This one's for me This one's for you This one's for me I've got a nervous feeling over you But who am I fooling, I like airline food I need to feel whole I need to feel young again I need to be bold and start using my tongue again They can laugh as they cry They can cut till I bleed But I ain't losing 'Cos this one's for me |

I'll finish this jigsaw
I'll find the pieces behind the couch I dream we were slow dancing I dream I knew your name Between sleep and waking we're drinking flavored vodka in bed And when I wake I'm all the King's horses and all King's men I make wild laughing rivers From streams Above white water noise No-one can hear my screams I threw my eyes to heaven And I asked for a sign They said I can get back my yesterday If I cross the date line But I'm sick of all this hope Sometimes the stars are not enough I'm sick of all this hope Sometimes the stars are too much I make wild laughing rivers From streams Above white water noise No-one can hear my screams Quite please |

My book has more bookmarks than pages
Cause it take me ages Or is everybody reading Is everybody reading Standing on a black Ulster hill I never fear the chill Cause everybody's holding Everybody's holding I wouldn't swap the pain For never knowing you I wouldn't swap the pain It was worth it for the view My book has more bookmarks than pages Cause it take me ages Or is everybody reading Is everybody reading Of a sparkling Medusa With snakes of cerise and blue And though we're all pillars of salt now It was worth is for the view I wouldn't swap the pain For never knowing you I wouldn't swap the pain Cause it was worth it for the view We're still watching Your rainbow through the shower And we still see you In every sunflower We're still watching I make days from the hours And I still see you In every sunflower Every screaming sunflower And how they scream of you |

I'll See Your Heart And I'll Raise You Mine
By Bell X1 What's with the angel and what's with the devil They keep swapping shoulders and I can't tell which from which "Will you be my Kriskindle? Will you be my better nature?" says one to the other But I think they're only showing off I caught them play poker and I think it was the devil who said "I'll see your heart and I'll raise you mine" Yea, they keep swapping shoulders I think there's something going on "Will you be my sweet pea? Will you be the card up my sleeve?" says one to the other and this time they hold their gaze for too long Now they're playing poker and this time it's the angel who says "I'll see your heart and I'll raise you mine" This is the story of the angel who played poker with the devil in the Garden of Eden before it all went pear shaped They said "I'll see your heart and I'll raise you mine" |
