I never knew how much you could mean to me
Until the moment you saw how untrue I could be I never meant to cause you sorrow Never meant to cause you any pain But with all the best intentions I can't promise I won't do it again I don't know what it is that drives me to make me want to throw it all away 'Cause you're really very precious, and I do so dearly want you to say It gets harder all the time, to be away from you And I want to work it out, so you can grow to trust me too Like I trust you Time is not the healer, I was hoping he would be And I'm still tender and bruised, but I want you to touch me 'Cause there's a healing in your touch And you're the one I need to be with I want to give myself to you, give you all I have to give You make me live You make me breathe You make me breathe |

Gypsy in my blood
And I lie where the myth is sold Cross my palm with silver And I'll give you my heart of gold Steal away my crystal ball And bring me in from the cold And it's fair to say there's no comfort here No hands to hold and treasure dear You could very well be the very death of me Crawling 'round your floor On my hands and knees All caution to the wind Taken by the breeze No grave concern for repercussion No room for talk or brave discussion Well I never But the devil may care I'm coming in On a wing and a prayer Snowbound daze Leaves me high and dry And I swear there's more to me than meets your hollow eyes Throw me a line I'm sinking fast I'm not yet willing to die My secret's safe with you I trust Show me faith and give me dust Well I never But the devil may care I'm coming in On a wing and a prayer The devil always fools With the best laid plans And never can I meet With all your choice demands It goes against the grain To place my life in your hands I'll take the flak if you'll take the blame Well I never But the devil may care I'm coming in On a wing and a prayer Well I never But the devil may care I'm coming in On a wing and a prayer |

I still believe in God, but God no longer believes in me
There's a crystal view from my window And I can see years to come I live for the burn and the sting of pleasure I live for the sword, the steel, and the gun I can tear down the walls, storm them barricades Run to the place where the frightened crawl Desire lurks beyond good and evil So dance on the graves where the hammer falls Over this land All over this wasteland Over this land All over this wasteland You can touch, but please keep your distance You're innocent and pure and with no shame The spirit is willing, and the flesh is graved Your teasing your torment with the pleasure of pain Over this land All over this wasteland Over this land All over this wasteland Heaven and Hell, I know them well But I haven't yet made my choice My feelings dead 'cause I'm shouting loud And no one can hear my voice Walking the tightwire, can't look down Strung out high, above you all Faithful wind blows through this land Howls my name, Hell is my fall Over this land All over this wasteland Over this land All over this wasteland |

Buried deep, buried deep inside
The hurting and the pain I've got to hide It's cold and it's dark and it's raining outside Never another sunset until there's another Another sunrising up Like a mountain from the sea Against the pain The walls I build, the bridges I burn So I'll never get hurt again It's cold and it's dark and I'm feeling numb Never another sunrise until there's another Another healing time come Hiding away in my ivory tower, my fortress, my sanctuary Until the healing comes, quiet and sure, like a mistress visiting me It's cold and it's lonely but there's a light shining in my eyes There's another sunset until there's another Until there's another sunrise |

Sometimes I feel just like Jesus Christ
Nailed to the cross, betrayed and crucified A crown of thorns cutting into my skin A palace and a throne and a kingdom of my own Knights in armour and courtesans, maids in waiting with blood on their hands The king ??? can't get blood from a stone I'm falling, into the arms of Nemesis I'm falling, into the grip of disease Cold comfort is success and I can feel my blood freeze Reason with the dust and blown away by the breeze How cruel the stars, that shine so hard I'm falling, into the arms of Nemesis I'm falling, into the grip of Disease ?? and all I ever need is the truth But the truth of it all is that there's no truth at all Like the truth of the cry from the new born child So why? Just tell me why, does Jesus cry? I'm falling, into the arms of Nemesis I'm falling, into the grip of disease I'm falling, into the arms of Nemesis I'm falling, into the grip of disease Disease, disease, disease |

I've been too drunk to love
Too drunk to care I've looked like death, felt like hell Been the worse for wear I've been drinking too much to remember The hell of the night before I've been drinking myself blind And still I'll drink some more She is the wine that makes harps and choirs The sweetest sound that the grapevine brings She is the wine that makes gods and angels And when I drink of her, she conjures me wings She invites me to her banquets And I feast on her bouquet She chases the dragons, and, Drives the demon away She builds a rainbow bridge To the island of the blessed She leads me to surrender To the quarry of my quest She is the temptress The master magician A sister to eros She is exhibition She plays like a symphony Smells like sympathy Tastes like poetry Gives her very soul to me |

Foreign tongues in familiar places
Surrender the thrills to the very core Forever young and blessed with nameless graces A love that kills and promises more Ash on the carpet and dust on the mirror Chasing shadows and the dreaming comes clearer Gasping for color, this perfect heart Screaming howl and the children cry Serpents kiss for the words you pray Whiskey and the devil and the witching hour A serpents kiss on that untouched flower Searching for a haven, it's no favor, the fingers that shine Heart beats quicker as the veils start to fall I'll be craving, the pleasure's all mine Candles flicker and the devils dance on the wall Stroking the naked and the silence gets colder Stuck on the ceiling and the kissing gets bolder Biting my nails for fear of revenge A serpents kiss and the children cry A serpents kiss for the words you pray A serpents kiss and the witching hour A serpents kiss on that untouched flower Ash on the carpet and dust on the mirror Chasing shadows and the dreaming comes clearer Some kind of visitor and the neon street A serpents kiss and the children cry A serpents kiss for the words you pray A serpents kiss and the witching hour A serpents kiss on that untouched flower |

Tarot strewn across the floor
Fate creeps under the creaking door Say farewell to the salad days Arms held out for the needle haze Scars, scars start to show But don't, don't despair for the shame I know Bible for the love and damned Religion for the pagan man Faith and prayer for the chosen few Mystic shades of violent hue Blood, blood on my cheeks And the taste The taste of ash curls across my tongue Sacrilege, burning on the funeral pyre Sacrilege, toss and turn on the cross to burn Rape and pillage the sacred word Heart of darkness crowned and stirred Rite of passage reckless whirl Fruit forbidden ritual swirl And you, what can you do? And I, I say there's nothing you can do to stop this Sacrilege, burning on the funeral pyre Sacrilege, toss and turn on the cross to burn Tarot strewn across the floor Fate creeps under the creaking door Say farewell to the salad days Arms held out for the needle haze Scars, scars start to show But don't, don't despair for the shame I know Sacrilege, burning on the funeral pyre Sacrilege, toss and turn on the cross to burn. |

A fleeting glance upon your silken face Medusa
And you can turn my heart and soul to stone Thank you for the memory, the lasting first impression Thank you for the steel, that cuts to the bone Over the hills and far away there's a place that's paradise Where we walked, walked, walked, walked, walked on in Talked, talked, talked, talked of sharing dreams Up and away, where angels dread to tread Brave rolling thunder and snow storms and pie in the sky Tangled skein of the marriage made in heaven Oh why did you, why did you let all the flowers die Over the hills and far away there's a place that's heaven Where yours was the first kiss and yours was the last kiss Over the hills and far away there's a place that's paradise Where we walked, walked, walked, walked, walked on in Talked, talked, talked, talked of sharing dreams Higher and higher with treason, clear reason, are all men guilty? The sound of laughter ringing true, shining through your childlike eyes Sacred hearts, epitaphs, touched by winds of change Oh why did you, how could you let all the flowers die? Over the hills and far away there's a place that's heaven Where yours was the first kiss and yours was the last kiss Over the hills and far away there's a place that's heaven Where yours was the first kiss, the everlasting kiss Over the hills and far away there's a place that's paradise Where we walked, walked, walked, walked, walked on in Talked, talked, talked, talked of sharing dreams |

It's never been like this
It's never been like this, no I've never felt like this before And it was just around sunrise when you crept out the door Left me ragged and worn but left me, Left me wanting more, more, more Let's do this all again Let's do this all again Let's do it all again Let's do this all again, do it all again sometime Sometime And do you remember Paris in the rain? And it looks just like Christmas But that's come and gone again And the wild cats roaming in among the tombs and graves And the flickering white neon of the cross and "Jesus Saves" And the headlights like fires and the crowds in the streets Children dressed in rags begging at our feet And we crawled back to our room With our heads spinning 'round And we just lay in the dark And didn't dare make a sound And a sorrow soft as whispers stole into our hearts Lay down between us and pushed us apart And do you remember the silence scorched with pain? A burning regret, let's never do this again Again Let's never do this again |

The cool cruel sleaze, hungry and wild and crawling
Through the storm that breaks and clears away the vicious and violent heat Breathe deep, breathe long and hard Kiss and caress the hand that feeds Love me primitive betraying lips And the treacherous heart of the savage breed Hollow eyes only cry hollow tears And the tingling flesh that melts away The scars and fears that the shameless years Leave laughing and dancing On a wasted and tattered dream Cry hollow tears, that stifle the tortured kiss and scream Screaming in the darkness, torn and ravaged Spinning round in circles animal crazy and the howl of the naked and savage the coll cruel sleaze hungry and wild and crawling Through the storm that breaks and clears away the vicious and violent heat Breathe deep, breathe long and hard Kiss and caress the hand that feeds Love me primitive, betraying lips And the treacherous heart,of the savage breed Screaming in the darkness, torn and ravaged Spinning round in circles animal crazy and the howl of the naked and savage Tarnish, taint and punish me softly Kiss the heavens where the angels tread Love is the corpse that crawls on dreams Rips them apart and tears them to shreds Screaming in the darkness, torn and ravaged Spinning round in circles animal crazy and the howl of the naked and savage |

There's the crime of passion
And the crime of revenge But the worst crime of all Is the crime of regret Speak of the devil And the devil may speak of you Why can we Let sleeping dogs die Deep, it cuts deep And the affection it grows And heaven only knows What you were to earth And the giving birth To the giving rounds of judgement And by fact of reason you accuse of treason Claim betrayal to the Holy Ghost Of the sacred past Its fading fast and forever You took my hand And turned it over Why can't we let sleeping dogs die No devil so dark As the devil I knew There's no love lost And no reason why Talk, of faith you talk But you were the one intent on stun You took my glory and pride Sanctity defied And you never knew What the gods could bring By playing the game Of whose to blame It gets harder all the time To put my trust in you So reverence please Let sleeping dogs die Let sleeping dogs die Let sleeping dogs die |

from The Mission - Gods Own Medicine (2007)
The silver moon and a singing breeze
I'm walking out under the stars Light a cigarette, and watch the smoke As it chases my dreams away I turn and gaze out to the sea And watch as the waves come tumbling in Off in the distance an angel cries As the ship of the line comes into bay (Chorus) I'm just an island in a stream I'm all at sea, come rescue me I'm just an island in a stream I'm all at sea, come rescue me Building castles, and flying flags And my lips begin to sting I feel the sand, beneath my feet And my hallowing heart begins to sing The flashing light warns of danger here, But the ship come on, sailing in I run for the shores, and away to hide I need a time and a place to think. (Chorus) I look around to find a friend for life Seeking refuge in your arms Splinters of ice, thin, sharp, and cold Pierce my freezing skin I was scared of your embrace You show me a grave new world And against the tide and dashed on the rocks The ship of the line comes on in (Chorus) (Chorus) |

from The Mission - Anthology - The Phonogram Years (2006)
Mumbo jumbo, listen to the whispers of madness
We have climbed mountains of dust We have seen gold gather rust Hocus pocus the stampede of my heart We have sailed on the stars through the air We have flown on the wings of a prayer Into the blue, only with you Into the blue, only with you, into the blue Gasoline rainbows swimming in the puddles in the street Whichever way the wind blows we've got the whole damn World crawling at our feet Laughing canyons and everglades Candle flames and razor blades Dancing through the poppy fields, hand in hand we cascade Into the blue, only with you Into the blue, only with you, into the blue There's a singing dwarf on the streets of New York There's a shuffling man with plastic on his head There's a preacher woman crying in the traffic Crying for the living crying for the dead The waste of it all, the waste of it all And there's more at stake than we could ever know 'Cos when we're together we always fall Into the blue, only with you Into the blue, only with you, into the blue |
