"Savior Of The Sun"

"Savior Of The Sun"



(She became the servant of the moon)

She represents with binocular eyes all of the London crowd
The affectionate zombies weep and cry whenever she leaves town

Abused and fucked up
Under the knife
Wearing a mini skirt
Painting her lips in the museum of her stripes
Where she worships how she hurts

No one was waiting for her love
She was the savior of the sun
And through the thinnest needle slipped into her cocoon
Where she became the servant of the moon

She was half starved up in her head
With an inward gaze she could paint your portrait as you bled
And expect your praise

Like a desert spider she will burn
Burn in the sky
She is more beautiful then anything when she cries

No one was waiting for her love
She was the savior of the sun
And through the thinnest needle slipped into her cocoon
Where she became the servant of the moon

"Say Goodbye"

"Say Goodbye"



If you're gonna leave, you should say goodbye
You should say goodbye
You should say goodbye

I know it's getting harder every time you cry
But you should say goodbye
You should say goodbye

You left on a cold afternoon
Leaving winter in the month of June
You're here for a while, but now you're gone too soon
Like a hidden flower that forgot to bloom

If you're gonna leave, you should say goodbye
You should say goodbye
You should say goodbye

Can't help but be a liar, saying we'll never die
But you should say goodbye
you should say goodbye

You burnt the sun and broke the moon
I can still see you lying in an empty room
The letter you left me was laced with your perfume
Like a butterfly trying to fly back into her cocoon

If you're gonna leave, you should say goodbye
You should say goodbye
You should say goodbye

Can't help but be a liar, saying we'll never die
You should say goodbye
you should say goodbye

If you're gonna leave, you should say goodbye
You should say goodbye
You should say goodbye

If you're gonna leave, you should say goodbye
You should say goodbye
You should say goodbye

"September Baby"

"September Baby"



Your holiness is gone
Sometimes love will make you swear
Until you know where you belong
You'll dream of what you never had

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ...

You can feel the falling leaves
Filling up our vacant lives
When I fall onto my knees
I pray you don't leave me behind

Summertime is over
I don't owe you nothing
When you say you're leaving
I want you to hold on
Summertime is over
I don't owe you nothing

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ...

You see September's sun
Sinking in the autumn sky
If you want me to be gone
I've left already in my mind

Summertime is over
I don't owe you nothing
When you say you're leaving
I want you to hold on
Summertime is over
I don't owe you nothing

"Shadows of Lies"

"Shadows of Lies"



Lying next to you at night when you're sleeping
Wishing I could join you on the other side
When you shake, I wonder what are you dreaming
In the dead of night, there's no place I can hide

With wide-open eyes in the dark
Shadows of lies on my heart

The moon, it bleeds through winter's window freezing
My memories play movies in my mind
As sorrow sings for my child in Ohio
The nighttime brings every demon it can find

With wide-open eyes in the dark
Shadows of lies on my heart

And when you're dreaming
I'm running through your veins
And when I am dreaming
You're running through my veins

Lying next to you at night when you're sleeping
Wishing I could join you on the other side
When you shake, I wonder what are you dreaming
In the dead of night, there's no place I can hide

With wide-open eyes in the dark
Shadows of lies on my heart
On my heart
On my heart
On my heart

"Shake It Off"

"Shake It Off"



Shake it off
Shake it off
Shake it off
I can barely hear you talk

Shake it off
I can barely(/nearly/really) hear you walk
Shake it off
I can barely(/nearly/really) hear you walk

Take it down
One time
In my mind
It's blind
If I find
The time to rewind

Take it down
In my mind
One time
It's blind
I wish I could find
The time to rewind

Shake it off
Shake it off
Shake it off
There really ain't no/that much to say or talk

Shake it off
Shake it off
Shake it off
There really ain't much to say or talk

Shake it off
Shake it off
Shake it off
There really ain't that much to say or talk

"Slide Away"

"Slide Away"


No matter what you want
Do or say
I hope you make it to
Better days
If you're a junkie heart
Be reborn
And every dime in bag
Leave your home

If they don't get to you
Get to me
We're gonna walk a path
Ever free
And stare into the sun
Till we're blind
Destroying every thought
In our mind

What you say counts
What you say counts
Till you fall out away
As the night you crashed it all [?]
Till every piece grows strong [?]

No matter where you live
Where you've been
You found an open road
And a friend
If you're a peaceful soul
Peace will come
So don't you hide away
What you've done

What you say counts
What you say counts
Till you fall out (the way/back)[?]
As the night you crashed it all [?]
Till every piece grows strong [?]

Slide away
Now won't you
Slide away
Now won't you
Slide away
I want you all the way
I want you

Slide away
Now won't you
Slide away
Now won't you
Slide away
I want you all the way
I want you

Slide away
Now won't you
Slide away
Now won't you
Slide away
I want you all the way
I want you

Slide away

"So Far From Free"

"So Far From Free"



Tell me how you woke up to your heart
Through the lines strung across your face
Beating' down the walls keeping us apart
And trying to fill all the empty space

You are
So far from free
So far from free
You are
So far from free
You are
So far from free

In the end this matter is extinct
So burn all that was said
In your tired head
Bleeding from the same wound when you seek
A faster way to heal
To bribe the sun to shine

You are
So far from free
You are
Far from free
So far from free

"Someone To Love"

"Someone To Love"



In the time of my dying
I was making promises I couldn't keep
Lying to you, you and me

Held by my addiction
Everything I thought I needed
I couldn't keep
If I was to get myself free

You gotta let somebody
Into your heart
You gotta let somebody
Feeling your heart

Someone to love
Someone to love
Someone to love

I came to live in your shelter
'Cause there's never a day when I'm not afraid
Looking for an answer
Mentally I was no more than a slave
Will you help me surrender
You said I have to become a dancer
And started shooting at my feet

You gotta let somebody
Into your heart
You gotta let somebody
Feeling your heart

Someone to love
Someone to love
Someone to love

I did believe in your answer
But you said I've still got a long way to go
'Cause the day won't remember
What the years dying for you to know
Who you are
Once you find out you're probably already gone too far
To ever find your way back home

You gotta let somebody
Into your heart
You gotta let somebody
Feeling your heart

Someone to love
Someone to love
Someone to love...

"Space Needle"

"Space Needle"



Hey Mama
Whatcha doing in Seattle
With a needle
Shooting up into the sky
We quit smoking
On our way up from Portland
But we had to start again to get us by

No one knows which way it's gonna go
We just keep showing up
Never asking why
Not quite sure where we've been before
We just keep growing up
In order to survive

With Lisa
Getting to be vicious
You could see the damage blowing in her eyes
And Eric
Pretending not to see us
He's adding up statistics in his mind

To Vancouver
Where we had to cross the border
So we ditched our shit
Somewhere along the I-5
Were tired
Cause we spent the whole night wired
With Jane's Addiction
Blasting down the alpine

No one knows which way it's gonna go
We just keep showing up
Never asking why
Not quite sure where we've been before
We just keep growing up
In order to survive

Hey Mama
Whatcha doing in Seattle
With a needle
Shooting up into the sky
Sky
Sky
Sky

Wake up sister
Sister come on
You know it's for you [x2]

Come on brother
Give us your song
It's all you can do [x2]

Here come the spacemen
Out of the sky

Out of the sky

You could be wrong
In fact now you are
The light in the star

Come down father
You could be strong
So come on

Here come the spacemen
Out of the sky
Ah Ah
Here come the spacemen
Out of the sky

Here come the spacemen
Out of the sky
Ah Ah

Here they come now
Here they come

So come on
