Light As A Feather

Light As A Feather

While the seasons will undo your soul
Time forgives us and it takes control
But separate our things to put us back together

We're light as a feather
Heavy as the weather,
If it was raining stones

Put our hands together to applaud or pray
It's like a show was over but we're too scared to walk away
All for the better, worse for the way

We're light as a feather
Got you and I together
Meanwhile outside me, it was raining stones
You didn't know
God bless your soul

We're light as a feather
Heavy, as the weather
We're light as a feather
Got you and I together

Young Blood

Young Blood

I'll pretend my heart's not on fire
If you steal my true love's name
Broke down subway in this city of spires
Tape your picture over his in the frame

We'll imagine we're sleeping revolvers
Shotgun wedding in a strange SoHo
Our chambers hold silvery collars
Gun down werewolves wherever we go
We gun down werewolves wherever we go

Midnight phone calls in the back of a Mustang
Creased white pages torn right from the spine
Kissed my neck with a crooked, cracked fang
You always hoped one day you'd be mine

Threw our fathers on funeral pyres
I'm not sure we were playing a game
Busted gasket in a field full of liars
No one noticed we set five boroughs aflame
No one noticed we set five boroughs aflame

Young blood, young bone
Old ghosts go home

Band of gold with a diamond implied
You wrote letters that you never sent
I made promises I'll always deny
Now we'll never know what the other meant

Watch is ticking like a heartbeat gone berserk
Lost the chance to wind the key
Roosters are nothing but clucking clockwork
Our fears are only what we tell them to be
Our fears are only what we tell them to be

Drown the last of our matches
Burn the rest of each other
You were strongest when I ached for breath
Through the thick of smoke we'll finally smother

Young blood, young bone
Old ghosts go home
Young blood, young bone
Old ghosts go home

Young blood, young bone
Old ghosts go home
Young blood, young bone
Old ghosts go home

Young blood, young bone
Old ghosts go home
Young blood, young bone

I Wouldn't Need You

I Wouldn't Need You

If I touched myself the way you touched me
If I could hold myself the way you held me
Then I wouldn't need you, no, I wouldn't need you
No, I wouldn't need you to love me

If I could replace the things you gave me
If I could see my face without the tragedy
Then I wouldn't need you, no, I wouldn't need you
No, I wouldn't need you to love me

But I do so come back, come back

If you could see the way I act when I'm alone
If you could hear my voice crack over the phone
Then you'd know I need you, oh, you'd know I need you
Oh, you'd know I need you to love me

Waiting

Waiting

Hush now, watch the stars fall
Into a fire wall
I am waiting here
Waiting for you to come home

Sinking embers glow
Melting icy snow
And I am waiting here
Waiting for you to come home

And I watch them burn
When will I ever learn?
If I wait it doesn't mean
You will return

And I watch them burn
When will I ever learn?
If I wait it doesn't mean
You will return

Now all the stars have gone
Faded into cracks of dawn
And I'm still waiting here
Waiting for you to come home

I am waiting here
Waiting for you to come home

It's Gonna Be

It's Gonna Be

If all we talk about is money
Nothing will be funny, honey
And now that everyone's a critic
It's makin' my mascara runny

If we only talk about the 'Heathers'
Making it together is crazy
If we don't get a new situation
For our busted nation, we're lazy

But it's gonna be, it's gonna be
Please make it be, it's gonna be

Now if a princess becomes human
Don't stone her on a talk show, you'll ruin
'Cause there's a fine line between a skewer
And a decent sense of humor

Aim at the ones who've really hurt us
They should be arrested for murders
But then all the cameras were turned on
Some skinny naked blond eating burgers

But it's gonna be, it's gonna be
It's gonna be, it's gonna be

It's gonna be, it's gonna be
Please make it be, let's make it be
It's gonna be, it's gonna be
It's gonna be

You've Ruined Me

You've Ruined Me

You've ruined me now
But I liked it but I'm ruined
Do you have a plan?
'Cause I'm in your hands

You've ruined me now
Though I liked it now I'm ruined
I had no choice
When I heard your voice

I know you said
Can't be misled
Now I'm the one
Whose face is red

You've ruined me now
Though I liked it now I'm ruined
Your chocolate eyes
Like buttons of lies

You've ruined me now
Though I liked it now I'm ruined
I'm trying to part
With what's in my heart

You've ruined me and how
I thought I liked it but I'm ruined
My whole world's now
Turned upside down

I heard me say I'm going away
But now I write you everyday
You heard me say I'm going away
But I'm on the floor outside your door

You've ruined me now
You've ruined me now

You've ruined me now
But I liked it but I'm ruined
Do you have a plan?
'Cause I'm in your hands

Back To Manhattan

Back To Manhattan

I'll go back to Manhattan
As if nothing ever happened
When I cross that bridge
It'll be as if this don't exist

I've a prince who is waiting
And a kingdom downtown
I'll go back to Manhattan
As if nothing ever happened

We don't have to speak at all
I won't look in your eyes
And I won't have to fall
We don't have to speak at all

But Brooklyn holds you
And holds my heart too
What a fool I was to think
I could live in both worlds

We don't have to speak at all
I won't look in your eyes
And I won't have to fall
We don't have to speak at all

I should go back to Manhattan
It's just a train ride away
I know nothing 'bout leaving
But I know I should do it today

Stuck

Stuck

You shove your way
Through the room from the street
And finally to me
You ask me what I'm drinking

My friend Johnny
Tugging on my sleeve
Asks if I wanna leave
But what I'm really thinking is

Why can't it be easy, easy?
Why don't you leave
Leave me, leave me be?

I can see you swaying
I can't hear what you're saying

I'm sitting here stuck
And plastered to my seat
I think up a reason to leave
When you finally stop speaking

I'll take a long slow
Walk down Washington Street
Half asleep on my feet
Half aware if I'm dreaming

I'll go home alone, a sinking stone
A switched off telephone
I'll go on, be free, a frozen breeze
A fallen down factory

But I still see you swaying
And I can't hear what you're saying

I just lost the plot, got a little caught
In a little knot
I just hit a wall had a little fall
Felt the swinging wrecking ball

And why should that be?
Why don't you tell me?
Why don't you tell me?
I'm sure you'll tell me
Why don't you tell me?
I guess you'll tell me, tell me

December

December

December, come to me
I hope I can see
You're not just in dreams

I will let you be
Why can't you believe
How much you really mean?

December, won't you come
Back with snow, even sun?
Don't say that it's done

I will carry you home
Take you from the loneliest place
You have known

I will carry you home
Take me from the loneliest place
I have known

Tell Yer Mama

Tell Yer Mama

I won't cry for you
When the night grows long
And I won't die for you
Because you done me wrong

So tell your mama I said hello
And that she raised you too damn slow
You're too damn slow
Too damn slow

'Cause I've been waiting
For your time
And I've been missing
Out on mine

So tell your father that I said so long
And thanks for raising you so damn wrong
You're so damn wrong
You're so damn wrong, so damn wrong
