sometimes i feel so wrongly and the geeks in their beds hardly know avant geek, there's no show the trapeze girl walked out last night in her trailer there's a burning light alone she leads herself on one last dance and she's done her eyes like a shiny shiny star and the moon in her blouse, brighter then the sun and she smiles wings of desire he yelled at her to get her wings on and fly above their heads and the bald man and the children's hair in her trailer the carny plays so alone she leads herself on one last dance and she's done her eyes like a shiny shiny star and the moon in her blouse, brighter then the sun and she smiles wings of desire her eyes like a shiny shiny star and the moon in her blouse, brighter then the sun and she smiles wings of desire

Anita 05:37
where have you been my old hearted queen scars 'round her belly with lies tumbled down her face took her to the parlor where I made her mine sighs pouring out a white throat and escaping down her spine a little bit strange with weary eyes and sloven hands she made her dreams tangible with her workers charm took her to the ocean where she laughed, happy in the winter waves bruises on her ankles like a lovers kiss Anita like a wallflower wilted hands and hearts cradled heartbreak in her safe arms upon this frozen hearth Anita like a wallflower wilted hands and hearts sleepless in her summer dress she lay upon my hearth the girl with her tears like blue weapons declared her war and felt as 7 fingers crept slowly up her skirt take me down with you where have you been my old hearted queen I lost faith in ever seeing your dark eyes again Made me man though a lady I stayed and did you ever find a love that could compare to me Anita like a wallflower wilted hands and hearts cradled heartbreak in her safe arms upon this frozen Anita like a wallflower wilted hands and hearts sleepless in her summer dress staked her claim upon my heart take me down with you

Come To Me 05:36
come to me took you to the warmest house and you broke and kept my love for you the warmest airs a bitter cave this lovely sounding town caved in lovely sounding hound caved in howled into the night again howled into my roof caved in and i never knew what i done to you i never knew what i done to you honey, come and get me trapped inside my water grave with river pounding in my brain the coldest hearts a bitter tune this river swallowed town again river swallowed town again howled into the night again it roared until my roof caved in and i never knew what i done to you i never knew what i done to you honey, come and get me come to me you saved me kept me from the din and you kept from me the love i am babies teeth in my minds eye i'll miss my baby til i die miss my baby til i die i'll miss his teeth and miss his cry miss my baby til i die and i never knew what i done to you i never knew what i done to you honey, come and kiss me

Beggar Girl 05:14
the girl with lavender eye said you are the one who made me a man took her right hand and wrapped it clear round her lovers throat as pale snow took his motorcycle out for a spin baby yours is the face that I see when I start to dream few were the words that i said when I saw my face when I saw my crumbling head few were the limbs that I spared when I saw my love lying with his red lips upon hers I know you spared me more then her I hope you worship every word suzanne, with your heart so cold your crimson sighs and sloven hands your dark eyes bright in the rain called out for cravings that we found beggar girl, you called me baby yours is the heart that I break when I start to dream I know you spared me more then her You know I worshipped every word woke to find my muses dead with snow piled up cold around their silken heads tried to steal their hearts but as I cut through their dresses my genius escaped through the seams through the thread Beggar girl, you called me

On Stage 03:59
can you howl like a dead beast parting the sea on stage you're like a different man and i want you both long legs and one hand in your pocket while the other leaps around and paints the air with sound the microphone is like my lips to whom you kiss growling out your angry fears into a metal ear baby can't you see me i imitate your style swagger 'round and smile with madness beckoning at the corners of my mouth and now i wait and hold me breath and its me with these dark curtains worn like a dress torn at the edges by the boots that you gave me frayed at the corners by nervous fingers my lovely indecisive man i take credit for all your greed it was with me you first made a song so real you could feel it in your palm my lovely indecisive man i take credit for all your greed it was with me you first made a song so real i could feel it in my palm the microphone is like my lips to whom you kiss growling out your angry fears into a metal ear baby can't you see me i imitate your style swagger 'round and smile with madness beckoning at the corners of my mouth
