Alphabet in Gold
03:42
|
|||
|
the streets faded away
no one paid any attention
a pearl in the sky
that crack across the ceiling
some other kind of madness
the right kind of ignorance
alphabet in gold
hug me till you drug me, honey
bring on your clubs and parties
the history of the world is hearsay
alphabet in gold
last minute changes of plan
you relinquish control
Our shadows tremble on the walls
of the alphabet in gold
the tree of life
has been shaken
the static in our
communication
the single most important thing
but what does that matter
if we get too close
alphabet in gold

Lions in England
03:43
|
|||
|
This car is going to move me
Like a sleeper twisting in and out
Yes is a pleasant country
A place I-I-I-I could not pronounce
the next step forward in evolution
As flawless as the placebo effect
That green sugar pill decisions
The clock looked ready, ready to melt
If everything you say is true
I’m the queen bee, safe in the hive
A button on the dashboard in the sky
Keeping his pallid flame alive
The whole place smelled like paint
Carrot red hair and a lot of lipstick
A band of sweat around his wrists
the view of emptiness
Another little spasm of the second hand
It was right there in black and white
Never saw the lions in england
Nothing to arrest the eye

The Stranger
05:05
|
|||
|
I could not find a silence
the troubled church of his mind
a roaring in his ears
as the angel lead the ass
into the heart of darkness and back again
you are the stranger
walking by your side at night
an unlit window burnt by the fireflies
sometimes he became so angry
that his voice broke
he was always doing things for people
the girls in the long fur coats
the wooden figures of the saints
where’s home? it sounds like a charming place
every last grain of dark
invade the stronghold of the stars
(Chorus x2)

Stars
04:13
|
|||
|
The germ of sorrow yet to come
Like the first flakes of snow in the long winter
Just a suspicion of
Someone who lay beside you in the moonlight
What do you think about the stars?
The little fish climb through
The mind of the sea
While the whole moves
And every part stands still
What do you think about the stars?
I lost the empty feeling
The motion of her hands as she walked
The trees were sculpture without their leaves
In that singular light
(Chorus)
The germ of sorrow yet to come
Like the first flakes of snow in the long winter
Just a suspicion of
Someone who lay beside you in the moonlight
(Chorus)

Good Advice
03:52
|
|||
|
Took it slow driving down town
The digressions we allow
Where you’re going is exactly where you are
The sun was still good for an hour
How to tell the wholeness of our
Original bloom? Wrinkle up like a house of cards
Drawing you from memory
We meant in time to measure up
Your friends in the city
Sir Isaac Newton sitting on a bed
i asked how can you ever be sure
I must have been the same to her
There’ll be no fading for you or for me.
We’ll be the first!
Whatever it was they had to say
A green thought in a green shade
Eve’s knees ground in the dirt of paradise
He cleaned out the closets
Like bees they packed boxes
We had very good advice
Thanks for the ride
(Chorus)
Your hands hovering like
Two shy birds about her face
Leave the question unanswered
What you can do yesterday
(Chorus)

Too Late
03:28
|
|||
|
when we’re watching the film
I suppose we’ll just have to live with it
Lost within a speechless sea
I got a sort of second wind
I wasn’t all that surprised
you can’t build anything big enough
but what if it wasn’t too late?
love’s a universe beyond
how the morning heavy soak
The freedom of falling weather
My soul is like a house
The long corridors of each other
|

|
stripped in the darkness to the skin
he had left the great seance
that ghost of passion
the last of the dandelions
in your paradise
In circles and jagged lines
in this huge night
hide in the shadow of terror
you have fled through a crease in the air
a violent wonder
the shore between
the sea of her
black honey of summer
of this white room

The Garden
03:51
|
|||
|
I kept my light on late into the night
I am beginning a new life of discipline
Something more definite
You’ll be in the index
When a housefly flaps his wings
This way to infinity
I kept staring out the window for a clue
the low, blue hills of the future
Perfectly a strangeness of sunlight
How the morning shone
A strange migration
If this is the best, what are the others like?
What are the others like?
Come along with me
I was mistaken
Come along with me
We must cultivate our garden

Release
03:31

|
make room
for the next
there’s a hundred
million others
a glimmer
doesn’t last
the ten directions
are a single open eye
cut the sky into two black pieces
nothing but the truth is a lie
when all
is said and done
we came like water
and we went like wind
sold
the reason
they undream the dream
cut the sky into two black pieces
nothing but the truth is a lie
