She comes to me in dreams
A train wreck beauty queen But I don't remember her On a wall of white and blue I wrote my name and thought of you But you would not have known Through a window of a car A cigarette's a fallen star A dream within a trail of sparks And conversation turns to sleep And I wait for you to speak I'm waiting still So for the restless Not the peaceful sleeper This song's for you And for the faithless Not the true believer This song's for you And I keep my secrets well Move on and never tell Some day they'll show And you raised me to be cruel You raised me like a bruise I'm bleeding still So for the restless Not the peaceful sleeper This song's for you And for the faithless Not the true believer This song's for you She comes to me in dreams A train wreck beauty queen Now I remember her And everything you love will break You're running out of things to make you Feel alive Alive Alive Alive So for the restless Not the peaceful sleeper This song's for you And for the faithless Not the true believer This song's for you It's for you It's for you It's for you It's just for you |

Sunlight beats down hard here
Count the cracks in the ground And we sleep through days of flood and fire At night we fly above this town Now we're coming down Now we're coming down We're coming down At night I dream of the hummingbird Feel the beatings of its wings And if you only had one choice my dear Would you fly or would you sing Now we're coming down Now we're coming down We're coming down And in a year of new beginnings dear How do we write the end? Here she comes Here she comes The hummingbird The hummingbird The hummingbird |

Light me a smoke
I'll tell you a story Of how the west was won Flew over diamonds East river shining A city sinking in the mud And in a second A life-long second I knew what we'd become We use up people, use up time Use up places, we say goodbye Searching for the crowded hour Now there's a buzzing in the wires Look for lightning in your eyes And I see it there Hey hey Rockstar Let's play happy This could be our final hour I'll take your picture But who needs pictures? They only strip you of your power Don't lose your nerve now Feel the curve of the earth now Rising up to meet your feet We use up people, use up time Use up places, we say goodbye Never find the crowded hour It's time to move the saints again Curse the sun to kill the rain I wish I knew just how We should have driven Out to the ocean Our hands tied to the wheel Now something's broken Don't know what's broken Or if I want it healed We use up people, use up time Use up places, we say goodbye Where the hell's the crowded hour Scattered thoughts and promises Let the wind take all that's left There's nothing for you here So take a card and put it back Hide the faces cut the pack The future's not that clear Light me a smoke I'll tell you a story Of how the west was won You wanted glory Well here's your glory Just look what we've become |

I'm walking on a wire
Twisting in the wind And something here is dying And I could use a friend But it ain't you It ain't you It ain't you Another car crash sunrise Is burning up my street Above the call of sirens Someone sings to me But it ain't you It ain't you It ain't you It ain't you Tonight I'll walk on water Tonight I'll leap through flame And sing it to the corner And still the blood in your veins 'Til something flickers in me I feel the motion of light And slip into the distance And someone lips in my life But it ain't you It ain't you It ain't you It ain't you |

Another dead dog highway
The road to paradise Is littered with your saviours The lines are growing faint Another paper saint has put us all in danger So take my hand I'm a stranger in the strangest land I'll return the favour Slide into my heart We'll hide there in the dark I catch you in my lights I'm reaching for a knife For halo girls and dreamers A statue comes to life Another roadside shrine For hypocrites and bleeders So take my hand I'm a stranger in the strangest land I'll return the favour Slide into my heart We'll hide there in the dark A bullet from a stolen gun How much I'll miss you when you're gone But now I think it's time you went away So take my hand I'm a stranger in the strangest land I'll return the favour Slide into my heart We'll hide there in the dark In the dark In the dark |

Darling I'm lost
Adrift in the dark I'm clutching your words To my vampire heart once more So let in the light Turn me to dust If it don't end in Bloodshed dear It's probably not love Here we are In the darkest place My reflection Shows only your face Something is found Something is lost Went looking for clues On the streets of old New York And I spilled someone's blood I broke someone's heart again Someone you know You're looking at him my friend And the people in our lives We all leave behind Leave behind Here we are In the darkest place To keep from forgetting I picture your face And I wonder While we count the cost Which is sweeter Love or it's loss So I curse you My vampire heart For letting me you love you Love you For letting me love you From the start |

Low light
Framed in red Sing out Until your last Breath 'Til the cats in this town Scream another night down to the bone You count under your breath Wonder which step comes next But you can't set a course When you've lost yourself Your love And your north No I'm not anybody's good son Shoot the lights out all over this town 'Til we're out on the silent boulevard With our way lit only by stars Red hand Voice like a knife Warns me No good goodbyes And seen from the sky The city tonight is on fire No I'm not anybody's good son Shoot the lights out all over this town Come on out, come on out To the silent boulevard Come on out, come on out To the silent boulevard Come on out, come on out To the silent boulevard Come on out, come on out To the silent boulevard |

So my love I
Left this world for a while For a while I float through strange days Seash the one way to Bring me back to you So don't let me go Don't let me go Don't let me go From here Cause I'll be still lost I'll be still lost I'll be still lost I'll be still lost When you come When will you come To look for me If I was to Call you Would you come And if I was to Call you Would you come Oh my love When will you come to look for me Cause I'll be still lost I'll be still lost I'll be still lost I'll be still lost When you come Why don't you come To look for me? |

She lies still
Her eyes on fire Undressed to kill And untethered in time And in the arms of a stranger You search for someone like her And the music carries on In a simple border song You once knew People like you They come and they go What's left to say We already know And we've danced these shoes to pieces And we stood where no one has stood And the music carries on In a simple border song You once knew And I guess I've said it all And I guess I've said it all You can climb but you will fall And I guess I've said it all You will walk You will walk You will walk out of here You will walk You will walk You will walk out of here And I guess I've said it all And I guess I've said it all You can climb but you will fall And I guess I've said it all ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By MCRAE <i>Lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC</i> |
