I Betray My Friends

Now it's the way, all the time.
Life's not fair, it's just melted away.
Sorrow to hell, all the time...today.
And this song is dead.
How do they stand to be with you?

Just, just, just the way...
Just the way, just the way to be.
Just the way, just the way you treat me all the time.
Just the way, just the way all the time.

You've never seen me, you've never hoped...
Too fair to say...
You just can't explain yourself...
You can't explain yourself, I can't explain this pain.

(unintelligable ramblings to fade)

Waiting For The Man

I...I'm waiting for the man...
26 dollars in my hand. Up to legs in junk, what you'll find?
Too sick and dirty for a dead man alive.
I'm waiting for the man...

Here he comes, he's all dressed in black.
New York shoes and a big straw hat.
He's never early, he's always late.
First thing you're learning's that you always got away.
I'm waiting for the man....

A cheap brownstone, up three flights of stairs.
Everybody pinned him, but nobody cares.
He's got the words to give you sweet taste.
Ah, but then you got to split because you got no time to waste.
I'm waiting for the man...

Baby, don't you holler. Darling, don't you ball and shout.
I'm feeling good, I'm gonna work it all out.
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling so fine.
Until tomorrow, but that's just so uptight.
I'm waiting for the man...

I'm waiting for the man... (4)

Taking Sides Again

(instrumental)

Annex

Give me what I want, I need everything, I can't say.
To finish it up, of everything, you have all.
Priniciple, that had luck before.
I want everything, I can't say.
Everything I can take...

Sacred Heart

Heaven is holding my hand.
Knowing she cares helps me stand.
Oh my arms open wide as she prays.
Caring for me in her way.
She'll be mother and sister to me.
Guiding our lives as they breathe.
And, her heart...

4-Neu

You and me...eternally... (2)

We shall be all alone...
Together, together...habit of love.
We shall be together.
Face to face, all alone...
When hearts will break, when dreams are made.
In heaven above...

You and me...eternally... (5)

66 And Fading

(instrumental)

Her Body In My Soul

A sharp kick in the head, was all she said.
Stop talking sideways, was all she said.
A smart move into fortune, was all she said.
A smart move into fortune, seen over our heads.
Thank you for the good time, was all she said.
A black rose in my pocket, was all she left.

Quiet, sitting down, listen to the radio.
These are words you never heard before.
Heaven knows what will become of us.
I wouldn't say that that's retold.

A sharp kick in the head, was all she said.
Stop talking sideways, was all she said.
A smart move into fortune, it's over our heads.
A black rose in my pocket, is all but dead.

Quiet, sitting down, listen to the radio.
I don't believe these words are true.
Heaven knows what will become of us.
You always said it just takes two.

And she waits...heart, and body, and soul.
Now I know it's time to let her go.
But she waits until I'm almost there.
Then she says that she has never cared.

Still she waits...her heart, and body, and soul.
And I know this time, I won't let go.
But she waits until I'm almost there.
Then she says that she has never cared.

And I wait...her heart, and body, and soul.
But I know she'll never let me go.
But I wait until she's almost there.
And I ask her just to say she cared.

But she waits...her heart, and body, and soul.
And I know this time, she'll let me go.
And I wait until I'm almost there.
Then I tell myself she didn't care.

The Avenue

We're strolling down the avenue, our fathers have before.
To the left is just a vacant smile, to the right, the open door.

We've never loved for more than this, it never was my style.
Again, we lied for graditude. Again, it's not worth while.

So arm and arm we carry on, though heaven's not a mile.
The secret is to fantasize, the secret is to smile...

Garden City

You never know, you never really know when it's gonna, when it's gonna turn our heart.

I wanna live in a garden city...
To marvel and glasp, to heaven and hell.
I wanna dream when the lights go down.
I wanna save my soul, don't wanna fuck around.

Trading heaven for a living in a city made of gold.

I wanna be where the seasons change.
When you never just know when Christmas comes.
Just to lie in a prison with our fingers on the buttons.
Making crazy, crazy, crazy beneath the burning sun.
Trading heaven for a living in the palace of the bold.

You never just know... (3)
When we're gonna come back like...

And all my friends will come around.
And we'll never even worry when Christmas comes.
And we'll really have some parties and we'll really tell some stories.
Missing crazy, crazy, crazy beneath the burning sun.

Trading heaven for a living when your future is as good as sold.
Trading heaven for a living when we'll never never never grow old.

Cause you never really know... (3)
When it's gonna come back, when it's gonna turn our heart.

I wanna live in a garden city... (4)

Wrappup

Stop going round with the girl that I love.
She's already taken, she's all sewed up.
It'll only end in tears, she'll only break your heart.
If my fist doesn't get you before she tears you apart.

You better stop going places where you know that she goes.
I've heard all the stories, it's just another pose.
You'll only get rejected just when you think you've scored.
And when you think you've made it, she'll be walking through that door.

Chorus:
Every little now and every little then, toe to toe, with my best friend.
Arm in arm in luxury, heaven knows you won't see me again.

Well, you'd better be careful with the things that you say.
Your mouth will get you in trouble, trouble one of these days.
I know you don't believe me and I know it seems absurd.
But it just goes to show how little you know that girl.

(chorus x3)

Concrete Hands

Voice of a girl... (4)
Coast to coast... (4)
Question like a queen... (4)
Promise is a promise... (4)

Shhhh...two minute silence can take you out tonight.

The voice of a girl, did the girl see the boy?
These things will come to pass, we're getting faster now.
With arms like a chameleon, she changes with her jewelry.
She stood beside his car, but refused to take a ride.

The voice of a girl, and the girl saw the boy.
They gave each other objects to remind them of that night.
Was it something that they said that always turns out right?
Shhhh...two minute silence is taking her out tonight...
Is taking her out tonight.
It all turns out right...

Maria Gallante

Chorus:
Maria Gallante is a dream come true.
She's the only little girl that's stuck on you.

Maria Gallante's a passion for send,
her fatal combination passed from hand to hand.

Luxury and ecstacy in harmony for you and me.
Take two guys, attention please.
From east to west they search the streets.
Home from home, next to the phone.
They're lying on a bed with a passion in her soul.

(chorus)

In luxury and ecstacy in harmony for you and me.
Take two girls, attention please.
Put them in a paradise with birds and bees.
From east to west they search the streets.
Looking for a vision that's really neat.

(chorus)

In luxury and ecstacy in harmony for you and me. (2)
Attention please... (2)
Maria Gallante, attention please.
Take two hearts, attention please.
The sun beats down and burns the trees.

(chorus x2)

Drift

(instrumental)

Firegun

Hear us pray over ocean, seas, and rivers, over all the Lisa Bay.
We search for what is listening, no reply.
Hear us pray as the fire burns below us, as darkness fills the lines.
Her seldom famous daughters turn to make a fight.

Hear us pray, sisters slay our brothers, mothers slay their sons.
Heaven isn't waiting anymore...
Her seasons never changing through every single day.
Like martyers in the cities, like dogs will howl all day.

Chorus:
Hear us pray...
Sisters slay your brothers, mothers slay your sons.
Heaven isn't waiting anymore...

(chorus x2)

This Town

Couldn't bear to focus on the body laid before me.
Every moment wasted was essential to her story.
But every single day you're gonna make me feel that way around this town.
I know that heaven's up above us, the stones below our feet.
All the situation, it's like it's indiscreet.
Who's going to say who's going down?
Every little dream is saturated...this town.

Couldn't you believe me? For once, you could believe me...
For every small emotion that you treasured so completely.
We're a failng combination like no other two.
I know every little moment and every wasted teardrop
and every single precious feeling we saved.
We're gonna nail the destination but it's obvious
you're never going down again with me.
I know this time is the end...

Satellite

I, I could spend lifetimes dreaming with ecstasy, following you.
And me, God-given by you, transmitting apathy, shaking me free.

We, we're souls in heaven.
Like master and servant, you dominate me.
See, talk to me slowly...

I, I'm just your satellite watching you worshipping your body... (4)

Gravity Never Failed

Everything seems to be is it is meant to be.
All of us hit the ground, this reason just fades away.
I'll never be wrong again, I'll never be rich or poor.
Couldn't we talk again or couldn't we just pretend?

Chorus:
Shadows on the wall and nearly half-way home.
Tomorrow is seldom, just another day.
I said if you leave me all alone I wouldn't find words to say.

Reality strikes again, teaching us all we know.
Science is never wrong, well, gravity never failed.
America seems to care, well, somebody has to know.
Couldn't we talk again, or couldn't we just pretend?

(chorus x2)
