Angela Mccluskey

She's not your average girl
She's just a dirty pearl
She might be priceless
But they're blind to it
She got that halter-top
She haunts the truck-stop
She's got several secrets
Scribbled on a matchbook

She's showing you her scars, isn't she
She's sleeping with the stars, isn't she

Oh
You can do what you like, boys
Oh
You can do what you please
Oh
Just be gentle with that girl
She's shining like a dirty pearl

Yeah
It's such a lovely world
You can have her for a rusty dime
When she gets her head
Around to it
She's gonna buy that chevy nova
And point it at the ocean

She's showing you her scars, isn't she
She's sleeping with the stars, isn't she

Oh
You can do what you like, boys
Oh
You can do what you please
Oh
Just be gentle with that girl
She's shining like a dirty pearl

Shining like a dirty pearl
Shining like a dirty pearl
She's shining like a dirty pearl

Sit Still, and close your eyes
What’s behind the other door
No more silence, don’t kill this thing we got called love
Just searching for the perfect drug

When Love comes calling
Don’t look back
When love comes calling
Don’t look away

And I’m standing over here
Watching you over there
Smiling, happy, unaware
Oh, life is spinning round
You’re going underground, forgetting who we were
Let’s try and keep it just one more day

You take your love
And throw it all around
Like it’s nothing special
Just a sound
Let me say one more thing
I don’t think you realize
That a day is like a year sometime

Here am I in chains of solace
The moment I could win
Oh it's so dumb that I'm intrigued by the thunder
And the lightening comes streaming in my home
But oh a summer of our own
And it's been done
It's been done
And oh I'm so proud of loving, again
It's been done

Wishing I was yours forever
Can we rely on love
I was lost, cut underneath by another
And the feeling that crept into our home
But oh the winter of our own
It's been done
It's been done
And oh I'm so proud of living, again

Crossing your heart
And hope to die
The skin I'm touching
Never lie

Crossing your heart
And hope to die
The skin I'm touching
Will never lie

But oh the winter of our own
It's been done
It's been done
And oh I'm proud of living, again

Crossing your heart
And hope to die
The skin I'm touching
Never lie

Crossing your heart
And hope to die
The skin I'm touching
Will never lie

Crossing your heart
And hope to die
The skin I'm touching
Will never lie

Crossing your heart (crossing)
And hope to die
The skin I'm touching (touching)
Will never lie

Crossing your heart (crossing)
And hope to die

I gotta talk to you today
Can't keep listening to what you say
What you say
I know it makes my insides crawl
Think you think you know it all
Know it all
Know it all

Oh God you're reading Albert Camus
And there's not much things you can't do
Can't you see they're laughing at you

Oh dear i'm getting weary
Of the same show every night
It wouldn't be so hard
If you weren't so right

I gotta talk to you today
Can't keep listening to what you say
What you say
What you say
I know you can't get over yourself
It's so hard to listen to someone else
Someone else
Someone else

Oh God you're reading Albert Camus
And there's not much things you can't do
Can't you see they're laughing at you

Oh dear i'm getting weary
Of the same show every night
It wouldn't be so hard
If you weren't so right

Feel like you're well-meaning
It's not your fault, I know
You're on medication
It's helping you to grow
Oh no

Oh dear i'm getting weary
Of the same show every night
It wouldn't be so hard
If you weren't so right

Oh dear i'm getting weary
Of the same show every night
It wouldn't be so hard
If you weren't so right

The devil done got me
Though the doctor tried to spare me
I'm living on candy now
Got down on my bad knee
To the drip-drip of i.v.
Won't somebody hold me as I die?
But if I die
Long live I
Long live I

Mamma would you miss me
Would you hover and caress me
Would you hang me from the christmas tree
And I leave something burning here
A signal-fire
The moon and stars
Will track my fall
Receive me
Love
Good love
Goodbye
Bye and bye
Long live I
Long live I

And I don't wanna be your shadow
And I don't wanna know your skin
Tell them not to dig too shallow
I want to sleep in sin
Cut the sun
And steal away a piece
Long live I
Long live I
Long live I

Love, love, love

Me and my friend were walking
In the cold light of mourning
Tears may blind the eyes
But the soul is not deceived
In this world even winter ain't what it seems

Here come the blue skies
Here comes springtime
When the rivers run high and the tears run dry
When everything that dies
Shall rise

Love, love, love
Is stronger than death
Love, love, love
Is stronger than death

In our lives we hunger
For things we cannot touch
All the thoughts unuttered
All the feelings unexpressed
Play upon our hearts like the mist upon our breath
But awoken by grief, our spirits speak
"How could you believe
That the life within the seed
That grew arms that reached
And a heart that beat
And lips that smiled
And eyes that cried
Could ever die?"

Here come the blue skies
Here comes springtime
When the rivers run high & the tears run dry
When everything that dies
Shall rise

Love, love, love
Is stronger than death
Love, love, love
Is stronger than death.

Love, love, love
Is so much stronger than death

All hail the Virgin Mary
Whatever happened to her?
Dark sails upon her black seas
She be heaven on earth

Oh there's Perfect Girl Eleven
In the swimsuit test
Oh there's Perfect Girl Eleven
In the blood-red dress
What a life, what a life, what a life, what a life
What a love
With murderous intent
Don't stumble
Don't fumble
Pick a spider from the web

Hot tail and runway action
Reception's getting worse
Short males beyond distraction
Maybe she'll be the first girl on the moon

Oh there's Perfect Girl Eleven
In the swimsuit test
Oh there's Perfect Girl Eleven
In the blood-red dress
What a life, what a life, what a life, what a life
What a love
With murderous intent
Don't stumble
Don't fumble
Pick a spider from the web

Oh, Girl Eleven
Oh, Girl Eleven
You're in heaven
Come and raise your scepter high
High

Oh there's Perfect Girl Eleven
In the swimsuit test
Oh there's Perfect Girl Eleven
In the blood-red dress
What a life, what a life, what a life, what a life
What a love
With murderous intent
Don't stumble
Don't fumble
Pick a spider from the web

Oh there's Perfect Girl Eleven (oh Girl Eleven)
Oh there's Perfect Girl Eleven (oh Girl Eleven)
What a life, what a life, what a life, what a life, what a life
(oh Girl Eleven)

Now I know that nothing's get me high
Scorched the land to find a man
Even lost the will to lie
Plucked out every artery
Left my heart to die

I made my bed
So I can lie on it
So I can cry on it
Now i'm wondering why
I made this bed

Cameras hidden in my ceiling fan
Excuse me but where was you, god
That long hot afternoon
Drag my head across the floor
Now i'm living deadAnd I made my bed
So I can sleep on it
So I can weep on it
Now I'm wondering why
I made this bed

And the cold dew's stinging
There's vultures singing
I caught a vision of my death
But there is
One sweet poison i'm immune to
Don't wake me
Cause my dreaming's seeming true

I made my bed
So I can lie on it
So I can cry on it
Now i'm wondering why

I made this bed
So I can sleep on it
So I can weep on it
Now I'm wondering why
I made this bed

I was in the moment
The terminal endeavor
Someone I should have run from
I turn back
Oh
Someone untrue
Someone I should have run from stole my soul

And took my hands
And brought me home
You're choosing sides
That blow my mind
And everywhere you go
You got control
Aw don't you know
Evaporator

Somebody
Got lucky
The terminal invader
The diamond I shine my heart on
I tremble
Ooo
The diamond is a viper
The diamond done stole my home and burned my hide

And took my hands
And brought me home
You're choosing sides
That blow my mind
And everywhere you go
You got control
Aw don't you know
Evaporator

And my world is breaking down
You took my hands
And brought me home
You're choosing sides
That blow my mind
And everywhere you go
You got control
Well don't you know
I do my time
Survive your lies
I tremble and sigh
But i'm doing fine
I know not why
You stole my sky
I shiver and I cry
But i'm doing fine

So turn back time
Until the moon
No longer lies

New town and a new home
To save your skin
This is where your new life should begin
Still after weeks
You toss and you turn in your sleep

And you know that whatever you do
Someone keeps looking for you
New life and a new view
To save your soul
This is where you dig your hole

And you know that whatever you do
Looking for you

No one believes that it's true
What that fucker can do
Aw you know what that sucker can do
Yeah you know what that mother can do
Yeah you know what that fucker can do

You know what that fucker can do
Aw you know what that sucker can do
Aw you know what that mother can do
Yes you know what that fucker can do

This night, this static night
The moon gives shelter from the rain
It's not the only night
It's not no final ending

See, your majesty
Is falling from his shining grace
And you're just coming home

This life, this holy life
We take our beatings from the rainbow
And god's not cutting back
She still can shield us from the pain

Feel that you've gone astray
The righteous on a one-way trail
One that leads you here

Feel like I want to stay
And make you understand me
Oh cause fear doesn't live around here
I'm disappearing
Could we dream much longer?

Fear doesn't live 'round here
Fear doesn't live
Fear (fear)
Fear
Fear doesn't live 'round here
I'm disappearing

Fear

Shiwaja shiwaja itokuri shiwaja yoi

An eye for an eye, will only make this world go blind
Another lie for a lie, we'll be wiping out mankind

Will you be ready?

Ennuo kiriri musu ranoya

Ahuu yuu uri yoi
Itoya kiririba musubimo na ryu uri yoi

Can we let the sun still shine
Or rip into 15 pieces, will you be ready
When it comes
Will you be ready when it takes your heart
Will you know what to say
Will you be ready?

Ennuo kiriri musu ranoya

Will you be ready?

Ahuu ryu uri yoi

Will you still sing out in ecstasy
To know that while you live
Only love can see deep down inside
Will you be ready
Will you be strong?
Throw the love away

Ennuo kiriri musura yano ya
Tokoyanu suraya no

Will you be ready?

Ennuo kiriri musura yano ya

Will you be ready?

Tokoyanu surayano
Bai doga joi joi

I've been living on the wrong side
Of the law
For so long
I don't know which side I am on

And every hand I shake
Is shaking me down
For a hard-luck song

Is there no one I can ride beside?
You just came to mind
You can be my trigger
I can be your hanger-on

I've been digging at a ditch my dear
But I hit concrete
Late last year
The spade and the shovel
And all kinds of trouble
Came and stripped me of my natural cheer

This could be a gravesite
Or we could make a garden here
You could plant gardenias
I could be released from fear

Don't the night grow cold
Sleeping in a garden
Don't the birds move slow
Their wings get frozen here

Lying on the wrong side of the bed
Since you've gone
I don't know which side I am on
And every stitch on the bedspread
Is doing my head in
All night long
Lord
Let this be the last time
I should have to suffer so
Hurry down the morning
And I will be prepared to go
