She's thunderstorms Lying on her front Up against the wall She's thunderstorms I've been feeling foolish You should try it She came unsubstituted the peace and quiet For acrobatic blood flow concertina Cheating heartbeat, rapid fire She's thunderstorms Lying on her front Up against the wall She's thunderstorms Here is your host Sounds as if she's pulling close When the heat starts growing horns She's thunderstorms She's been loop-the-looping around my mind Her motorcycle boots give me this kind of Acrobatic blood concertina Cheating heartbeat, rapid fire She's thunderstorms Lying on her front Up against the wall She's thunderstorms In an unusual place When you're feeling far away She does what the night does to the day She's thunderstorms Lying on her front Up against the wall She's thunderstorms Thunderstorms Thunderstorms |

Lately I've been seeing things Belly button piercings In the sky at night When we're side by side And I don't mean to rain On anybody cabriolet One of those games You're gonna lose But you wanna play it Just in case Now it's getting dark And the sky looks sticky More like black treacle than tar Black treacle Somebody told the stars You're not coming out tonight And so they found a place to hide Does it help you stay up late Does it help you concentrate Does it tune you in When you chew your chin Am I ruining your fun And you talk the talk alright But do you walk the walk Or catch the train You wanted it, you got it But you don't want it now Now it's getting dark And the sky looks sticky More like black treacle than tar Black treacle Somebody told the stars You're not coming out tonight And so they found a place to hide Now I'm out of place And I'm not getting any wiser I feel like The Sundance Kid Behind the synthesizer And I tried last night To pack away the laugh Like a key under the mat But it never seems to be there When you want it Black treacle Black treacle |

Just when things are getting complicated in the eye of the storm She flicks a red-hot revelation off the tip of her tongue It does a dozen somersaults and it leaves you supercharged Makes me wanna blow her candles out just to see if you glow in the dark Shalalala Shalalala Shalalala Shalalala Home sweet home, home sweet home, home sweet booby-trap I took the batteries out my mysticism and put 'em in my thinking cap She's got a telescopic hallelujah hanging up on the wall For when it gets too complicated in the eye of the storm Shalalala Shalalala Shalalala Shalalala Oh... And in a hellcat spangled cavern When your judgement's on the run And you're acting like a stranger Cause you thought it looked like fun Well did you ever get the feeling Did you think she set the fall Her steady hands may well have done the devil's pedicure What you waiting for? To sing another fuckin' Shalalala Shalalala Shalalala Shalalala |

Caricatures of your wrecking ball gown, in my mind All the time I wanna be in that, damsel patterned alley Where you go, for a smoke And sorrow slow dances The phones are lighting up Taking no chances Close but never close enough Been watching cowboy films, on gloomy afternoons Tinting the solitude Put on your dancing shoes And show me what to do. I know you've got the moves All my own stunts High noon changed it's tune Linking arms, syncing hearts And sorrow slow dances Around the edges of her eyes Taking no chances The last one out, to win a prize Been watching cowboy films, on gloomy afternoons Tinting the solitude Put on your dancing shoes And show me what to do. I know you've got the moves Wooah Wooah Wooah Wooah "coz i'm from high green, i'm from high green" |

Topless models doing semaphores
wave their flags as she walks by and get ignored Illuminations on a rainy day When she walks her footsteps sing a reckless serenade I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is I mean Called up to listen to the voice of reason And got the answering machine The type of kisses where teeth collide When she laughs her heaven's horn A stun gun lullaby Those twinkling vixens With a shine spiralize Their hypnosis goes unnoticed when she's walking by I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is I need Called up to listen to the voice of reason And got his answering machine I left my message but did he fuck back to me And now I'm stuck still and wondering how it's meant to be Singing a reckless serenade, reckless serenade Reckless serenade, reckless serenade Reckless serenade Reckless serenade Reckless serenade |

I etched the face of a stopwatch On the back of a raindrop And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass. I heard the nun happy ending it sort of sounds like you’re leaving I heard the piledriver waltz, it woke me up this morning. You look like you’ve been for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel Inside of a back booth by the pamphlets and the literature on how to lose. Your waitress was miserable and so was your food. If you’re gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes. Mysteries flashing amber go green when you answer but the red on the rest of the questionnaire never changes. I heard the news that you’re trying to shoot me out of a cannon. I heard the piledriver waltz, it woke me up this morning. You look like you’ve been for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel Inside of a back booth by the pamphlets and the literature on how to lose. Your waitress was miserable and so was your food. If you’re gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes. Oh, piledriver.

Do you still feel younger than you thought you would by now Or, darling, have you started feeling old yet Don't worry, I'm sure that you're still breaking hearts With the efficiency that only youth can harness And do you still think love is a laserquest Or do you take it all more seriously I've tried to ask you this in some daydreams that I've had But you're always busy being make-believe And do you look into the mirror to remind yourself you're there Or have somebody's good-night kisses got that covered Well I'm not being honest, I'll pretend that you were just some lover Now I can't think of there without thinking of you I doubt that comes as a surprise And I can't think of anything to dream about I can't find anywhere to hide And when I'm hanging on by the rings around my eyes And I convince myself I need another And for a minute it gets easier to pretend that you were just some lover When I'm pipe and slippers and rocking chair Singing dreadful songs about something Well I've found a better method of pretending you were just some lover Well I've found a better method of pretending you were just some lover |

Your love is like a studded
leather headlock Your kiss it could put creases in the road You're rarer than a can of dandelion and burdock And those other girls are just post-mix lemonade Suck it and see You never know Sit next to me Before I go Jigsaw women with hollow movie shoes Be cruel to me 'cause I'm a fool for you I poured my aching heart into a pop song I couldn't get the hang of poetry That's not a skirt girl, that's a sawn-off shotgun And I can only hoped you've got it aimed at me Suck it and see You never know Sit next to me Before I go Jigsaw women with hollow movie shoes Be cruel to me cause I'm a fool for Blue girls from once a upon a Shangri La How I often wonder where you are You have got that face that just says Baby, I was made to break your heart Suck it and see You never know Sit next to me Before I go Go Go Go Jigsaw women with hollow movie shoes Be cruel to me cause I'm a fool for you |
