I thought it would be easier
I was wrong
I thought this was easier
I saw them for what they were
They were common men
Victim to colder nights
Victim to what was right
- Colder nights
I was thinking
That I was on the eve…
Of what they are
I was not a commoner
Just down by some bad events
I’m not a better man
I longed for something new
Something just for me and you
For it to begin
I was just thinking
This would be easier, if you were here

So Distant

What do they want to know?
They seem so distant, and I wonder-
If things could turn out right
Then why don’t they?
You wanted it to be
You wanted it to be
You wanted it to be
Yeah- you wanted it to be a dream… a dream
These days are wrong
And the nights are changing
Before our lives -we can’t hide away
You wanted it to be
You wanted it to be
Hell-I wanted it to be
We wanted it to be a dream…
…But now, your counting time, we never claimed to see you through
Your mind will disconnect to all the things that lead to you
We’ll wait on the steps in your head beneath the bone
Your mind won’t be waisting alone anymore
Oh yes- All we see are these things you call your friends
And soon will be the time we will descend upon your love
Your love…
Your love is all we need
Your love…
Your love is how we feed.
La la -la la la

Oh la la la
Oh la la-la la la
La la la
La la la
Oh la la-la la la
La la la

Tonight, Is It?

When they called you,
Did they say-
There was something on their minds?
What would you do
Would you hold them to the truth?
You could say I never tried
I never tried to go
I know,
I know you were never on my side
But you were dreaming
While you were asleep
I was counting all your sheep
And your mind is crawling off
but your heart is warm enough
Want to have a go?
Tonight, is it?
Tonight, is it?

Underneath

Underneath this coat is another man's clothes.
They keep me warm and dry but they're not what's inside- they're something else
Underneath these clothes is the skin of a man growing old
It's wrapped around all that I am and all that I'll ever be- an honest man
Underneath this skin are my bones- my skeleton
It's such a beautiful frame, it keeps everything safe
It's a home for my soul and it holds me up...
When I'm down,
When I'm down,
When I'm down
Underneath these bones is a heart that knows no shame
It has a love for life and it loves all it can
It's the one and only reason for all I do
Underneath this heart is a soul that will never die
and when I'm nothing but dust, I'll be nothing much
but just the same, I'll be a part of everything
Underneath this soul is a dark and savage hole
It's where I keep all my hate, it's a horrible place
I'd like to throw it away but sometimes it masters me...
When I'm down,
When I'm down,
When I'm down

Won’t you come outside
These Walls are closing in
You would be surprised
These walls are paper thin
Close your eyes
Time is not true
You are just NOW
The night is on our skin
relating to everything
Friends in arms
Close your eyes
Time is not true
You are just NOW
I can’t put these things in your head
But you can place them in your heart
Won’t you come outside
These walls are closing in
Close your eyes
Time is not true
You are just NOW

...and I Want It
04:36
|

Here it comes creeping like some Big Long Daddy
It comes over just to flick away
Opens it’s mouth all big and hungry
With words spilling out
Going every which way
Temptation only on the outside
I feel the nerves at every end
Eight legs and fishnet stockings
Feel it walking through the darkness
Feel it walking through my head
…and I want it.
Can’t turn it off, it ain’t no TV program
I wait ’till daylight but the sun don’t come
Turn in circles, all wrapped up in something
Sticky and hot, with below above
Crucified on a web of shadows
Wanting nothing but to crawl inside
But the dark mass turns me over and over
On a thousand cracked mirrors and I’m barely alive
…and I want it
…and I want it
A taste of blood and I feel so thirsty
A taste of flesh and I’m petrified
I just think of it and my skin gets all crawly
Like the legs on my belly and the legs on my thigh
…and I want it
…and I want it
…and I want it
…and I want it
