"The Seventh Stranger"

"The Seventh Stranger"


Those words are all remainders
Echoes growing in the heart of twilight
They lay back laughing at naivety's star
Awaken all those whispers in the dusty shadow of a
Passing favour
I wouldn't say that you were ruthless or right
I couldn't see from so far
Was I chasing after rainbows
One thing for sure you never answered when I called
And I wiped away the water from my face
To look through the eyes of a stranger
For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of a stranger
Can't tell the real from reflections
When all these faces look the same to me
In every city such a desolate dream
Some days are strange to number
Some say the seventh sounds a little bit stranger
A year of Sundays seems to have drifted right by
(I could have sworn) in one evening
And I'm not seized in desperation
No steel reproaches on the table from before
But I still can feel those splinters of ice
I look through the eyes of a stranger
For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of a stranger
I must be chasing after rainbows
One thing for sure you never answer when I call
And I wipe away the water from my face
To look through the eyes of a stranger
For rumour in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
Walking away like a stranger
From rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of a stranger

"The Sun Doesn't Shine Forever"

"The Sun Doesn't Shine Forever"


At the end of the rainbow
Found each other there
Strange, we never thought the colours would fade
Be easy to walk
But it's much harder to stay
Why, oh why, are we reckless today?

You and I
Got to hold on together
Because in this life
Maybe the sun doesn't shine forever

Could say that I'm sorry
But there's no one to blame
Anger seems to dissolve into tears
Been so many good times
Not only despair
Somehow we'll find the love we can share

You and I
Got to hold on together
Because in this life
Maybe the sun doesn't shine forever

You and I
Make this life for each other
Because I believe
We've got enough for when the sun doesn't shine
You and I
Got to hold on together
Because in this life
Maybe the sun doesn't shine forever

"The Universe Alone"
(feat. John Frusciante)

"The Universe Alone"
(feat. John Frusciante)



It's beautiful, the dying sun
The end of everything and everyone
So shall we make a plan my friend
As if we had the chance to live it all again

I'll see you in some other lifetime
On the other side of what we'll never know
Together we have walked a fine line
Now we go to face the universe alone

In plain view, the mistakes we've made
But is there anything you'd really want to change?
To win and lose then win again
To have it all then throw it all away

I'll see you in some other lifetime
On the other side of what we'll never know
Together we have walked a fine line
Now we go to face the universe alone

How beautiful the closing down
The fading out, it spins and goes around
With darkness at the heart of man
And here we are back where it all began

I'll see you in some other lifetime
The universe alone
The universe alone
The universe alone

"The Valley"

"The Valley"


These are days of hit and run
In the stream with everyone
Is a moment of our lives

On a wandering river
Going on together
Many journeys to arrive

I've been walking
Through the valley
Through the tall grass
And the shadows
And I feel it
I can see it
Yes I need it
I believe it

Through the city
And the towers
Turning minutes
Into hours
And I feel it
I can see it
Yes I need it
I believe it

When I think I'm being strong
And I lose direction
then a life starts looking mischievous
Finding revelation
Out of desperation
Always stretching time
But it's never long enough

You think you're happy
Think you're free
But maybe we're just
Comfortably dizzy

I've been running
Through the valley
Through the tall grass
And the shadows
And I feel it
I can see it
Yes I need it
I believe it

Through the city
And the towers
Turning minutes
Into hours
And I feel it
I can see it
Yes I need it
I believe it

I've been running
Through the valley
Through the tall grass
Through the shadows
And I feel it
I can see it
Yes I need it
I believe it

Through the city
And the towers
Turning minutes
Into hours
And I feel it
I can see it
Yes I need it
I believe it

"This Lost Weekend"

"This Lost Weekend"


This lost weekend
By the evening I can
Smile at the memory
The taint of scandal on my skin, yeah and it seems that I’ve been manic
So gravelly quite
The joker on a string
So I’m leaving all my trouble to history but you know how I will pretend, oh
ah ha high high…

Show no mercy to this clown please remind me
Should I forget this lost weekend, oh oh why ah ah…

Lucky nothing
Could have done without the sighing (should I forget this lost weekend)
You can’t work the humbling
Trying to hush it all up now (should I forget this lost weekend)
Don’t blow it all or nothing
Don’t watch me now I’m blushing (should I forget this lost weekend)
Don’t bother me or nothing
I, I’m busy working (should I forget this lost weekend)

I’m working on to something
I ah ah (should I forget this lost weekend)
and your testing my all entire meds?
(should I forget this lost weekend)
(should I forget this lost weekend)

"Time For Temptation"

"Time For Temptation"


Time for temptation, what you see is there for you
Time for temptation, no damnation for what you do
(good, good, good, good temptation)
Why you chasing a lost religion of guilty feelings - that belong in yesterday?
Spy the preachers a politician, he carries the cross like a gun- whip you into shape
Heres the rub, now, no secret hours locked in the backroom if you- come together right
Check your vision and push it out there- you make the question, define what its all about
(oh) Oh...
With chains or heaven across your shoulder,
A slave for promotion to the afterlife
The boss gets fat while you just get older, here comes a mission - set to put you right
Time for temptation, what you see is there for you
Time for temptation, no damnation for what you do - oh
Time for temptation, what you see is there for you
Time for temptation, no damnation for what you do (No damnation...)
Time for temptation, what you see is there for you
Time for temptation, no damnation for what you do - oh
Time for temptation, what you see is there for you
Time for temptation, no damnation for what you do - oh
Time for temptation, what you see is there for you (good, good, good, good temptation)
Time for temptation, no damnation for what you do (good, good, good, good temptation)
Time for temptation, what you see is there for you (good, good, good, good temptation)
Time for temptation, no damnation for what you do (good, good, good, good temptation)
Time for temptation

"To The Shore"

"To The Shore"


Oh when your nine day feed is up and you've drained your loving cup
Come stands reeling to the shore oh when the brave are coming out
The dry fight and the dusty shout see you crawling on the floor
And diamond stars shining glitter bright gorging your sanhedralites
Words are falling to the floor glad stand pouring fruit trees
And now they glisten on the waterline sing home you are at the shore
I'm moving crissie pretty flowers in the shuttermaze
Haul up all your petty desires leave them lying down they fall
Wash away the rusty disease of your brown town days in our silver sea
Leave it dying at the door feather yellow your time to leave
Open out your arms and breathe
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh to the shore now
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh to the shore now come on

"To Whom It May Concern"

"To Whom It May Concern"


Dear Mr. Bones, I've (We've) had enough
You can try to pull us down
With your pinstipe weasle stuff
But word travels in this town
I wouldn't write home about you
We're better off without you
Without you Mr. Bones
Some people feed on other people's troubles
Some people beat on other people's meat
Some people want to bleed us dry
And some people...Gonna down on your feet.
You said "Boy's I'll get you more
But you have got to pay me by the hour".
Anyways you are just another bore
Who believes he's a superpower.
When you talk about loyalty
I just hope you realize
Since you ate my roalities
Mr. Bones this is goodbye.
This is goodbye and such hereinafter shall be reffered.
Notwithstanding or foregoing statements unpreferred.
Don't claim you understand
When you've not heard a single word, a dicky bird.
Some people feed on other people's troubles.
Some people beat on other people's meat.
Some people want to bleed us dry
And some people... gonna drown on your feet.

"Too Bad You're So Beautiful"

"Too Bad You're So Beautiful"


Here I go again
I must have flowers in my brain
The same mistake I made before
But I'm a hostage to that face of yours
Lay me on your bed
I watch you smoke my cigarette
I wish you knew what's in my head
I could be more than just a friend
Too bad you're so beautiful and so complicated
I may be a deluded fool but still fascinated
Too bad you're so beautiful when I'm king of nothing
This can only go one way
Ice queen on top of the mountain
Give me the freeze, minus twenty and counting
My lunar dreams, how do I stop them?
But it's not your problem, when you're above it all
Lay me on your bed
I want to stroke your sleepy head
I wish that I was you instead
Of being just your weekday friend
Too bad you're so beautiful and so complicated
I may be a deluded fool but still fascinated
Too bad you're so beautiful when I'm king of nothing
This can only go one way
King of nowhere speaks another line
In the low light I'm here to entertain
When it starts to rain I'm a lucky man
Too bad you're so beautiful and so complicated
I may be a deluded fool but still fascinated
Too bad you're so beautiful when I'm king of nothing
This can only go one way
Ahh
Too bad you're so, it's too bad you're soo...
(Ahh) beautiful, umm-uh-umm
(Ahh) beautiful, it's too bad
Just too bad, it's too bad
(Ahh) beautiful, it's too bad
Just too bad, it's too bad

"Too Close To The Sun"

"Too Close To The Sun"


Too close to the sun,
Clouded light in the eyes,
Slipping into your pain,
Pain till it heals,
Gone to my toes,
My heals,
You're looking at the sun,
Sun escape from,
The anti time of nothing new,
Automatic sky,
I plan to view cupid's plan,
You'll discover,
When you fly too close to the sun,
Too close to the sun
Too close,
Too close to the sun,
Back for long,
By the time we realise,
You're looking at the sun,
Sun escape from,
The anti time of nothing new,
Automatic sky,
I plan to view cupid's plan,
You'll discover,
When you fly too close to the sun,
