Wings Of Desire

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

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

Old Blood
03:08
|

i wanted her to be my bride
her long white veil and her dark rimmed eyes
take it off take it off take it off take it off
down in the valley where the dark wind blows
and the dark it preys on a little girls soul
give me your money and i'll show you my hands
she's old blood
there's a woman in the corner
with man eyes man hands man jacket man winks
think he's a man
think he's a man
he's old blood
i wanted her to be my bride
she looked at me with her dark rimmed eyes
and i'm gone
take it off take it off take it off take it off
take it off take it off take it off take it off
she's old blood

Pretty Ones
04:07
|

we built our love on the pure incessanty of your mind
incessant in its crying
brother i think your rivers empty
and the fish flew in from the sea
oh take me home
oh take me home
brother your rivers empty and i gotta to go home
you got no business with the pretty ones
we pay our beauty taxes so don't try to sneak away
we're the pretty ones
we're the pretty ones
we're the pretty ones
you're the one
i stole my thoughts from the better boys
the dogs and their pick up lines
make me wanna faint
make me wanna cry
oh you got so much to live for
so why don't you live for somebody else
we're the pretty ones
we're the pretty ones
we're the pretty ones
you're the one
there's a man outside my window as big as my arm
there's a man outside my window as big as my arm
and you drive so fearlessly
we're the pretty ones
we're the pretty ones
we're the pretty ones
you're the one

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
