She left you high all alone
with no shelter from the dirty rain
She drove a stake through your heart
and a silver bullet through your brain
She likes the boys in the band
cos the boys in the band don't sleep and
she thought life was a joke
till the devil knocked her off her feet
We fell in love in a burning forest
you offered the world
but you broke your promise
now all that remains is the bell and the butterfly
I took her heart in my hands
and I let her through the city of lights
till she could no longer stand
the illusion of such blinding heights
See man we all pay the price
for the things the devil makes us do
And if your strung out on lust
or religion then I'm talking to you
We fell in love in a burning forest
you offered the world
but you broke your promise
now all that remains is the bell and the butterfly
She left you high all alone
with no shelter from the dirty rain
She drove a stake through your heart
and a silver bullet through your brain
She likes the boys in the band
cos the boys in the band don't sleep and
she thought life was a joke
till the devil knocked her off her feet
We fell in love in a burning forest
you offered the world
but you broke your promise
now all that remains is the bell and the butterfly
The bell and the butterfly
The bell and the butterfly
The bell and the butterfly
The bell and the butter
Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly

Coming on strong
coming on strong
coming on strong
coming on stronger than the night
coming on strong
coming on stronger than the night
coming on strong
coming on stronger than the night
coming on strong
coming on stronger than the night
funny how the feeling grows
when you’re dancing in the diamond sky
there's no place that you can't go
when the past is yours and yours alone
coming on strong
coming on stronger than the night
coming on strong
coming on stronger than the night
coming on strong
coming on stronger than the night
coming on strong
coming on stronger than the night
sanctify the sands of time
and you'll never need to redefine
all the places you don't know
when your life is yours and yours alone
coming on strong
coming on stronger than the night
coming on strong
coming on stronger than the night
coming on strong
coming on stronger than the night
coming on strong
coming on stronger than
stronger than the night
stronger than the night
stronger than the night

The Doors of Perception

It's alright tonight
we'll go dancing in the blinding light
Where the angels all take flight
And the doors of perception enlighten your soul
It's alright tonight
we'll go dancing in the blinding light
Where the angels all take flight
And the doors of perception enlighten your soul
She's coming up in revelry
Casting the sirens aside
She's coming up in revelry’s sweet illusion
It's alright tonight
we'll go dancing in the blinding light
Where the angels all take flight
And the doors of perception enlighten your soul
It's alright tonight
we'll go dancing in the blinding light
Where the angels all take flight
And the doors of perception enlighten your soul
No-one can outlast the dawn
Or her ceaseless resolve
No-one can outlast the dawn light forever
It's alright tonight
we'll go dancing in the blinding light
Where the angels all take flight
And the doors of perception enlighten your soul
It's alright tonight
we'll go dancing in the blinding light
Where the angels all take flight
And the doors of perception enlighten your soul
It's alright tonight
we'll go dancing in the blinding light
Where the angels all take flight
And the doors of perception enlighten your soul
It's alright tonight
we'll go dancing in the blinding light
Where the angels all take flight
And the doors of perception enlighten your soul

Staring through your eyes
looking through a hurricane
this is my life
this is my soul
this is my song
strolling through the park
springtime in Johannesburg
I'm not lost
but I lost myself in your love
Walking through the walls
never felt this way before
and my girl
your tearing my body apart
Where tenements still stand
you and me are holding hands
just a dream
but the best dream that I have had
I don't wanna miss you lady
I wanna see the walls come tumbling down
I don't wanna miss you lady
I wanna see the walls come tumbling down
And it's all all coming back to me
comfort me tonight
tell me everything's all right
cos I need
you more than you'll ever know
I've never been afraid
to steal from the magpies grave
so my girl
shine that later out in the Street
I don't wanna miss you lady
I wanna see the walls come tumbling down
I don't wanna miss you lady
I wanna see the walls come tumbling down
and its all all coming back to me

Box of Rain

I don’t mind if you don’t want my box of rain
just say you need a friend tonight
seasons turn and lover’s play their childish games
bathed in little strands of light
High tide and sileoets
and faces filled with deep regrets
she calls your name and drags you under
waiting for the sky to plunder
I don’t mind if you don’t want my box of rain
just say you need a friend tonight
seasons turn and lover’s play their childish games
bathed in little strands of light
Falling so fast you know
your dancing with the beast below
he calls your name and drags you under
as the lightning turns to thunder
I don’t mind if you don’t want my box of rain
just say you need a friend tonight
seasons turn and lover’s play their childish games
bathed in little strands of light

Waiting for your Love
05:23

The sun's in the sky babe
I'm sitting right here
waiting for you love to come near
when will you tell me
the world's gone wrong
it won't be long won't be long
Ain't gonna love you
when your hearts so cruel
I ain't gonna love you
sick of looking the fool
she's feeling different
things have changed
cuz things just ain't the same
the ships yet to sail
but there's a wicked breeze
come on baby please tell me
it’s making me crazy
I’m going outta my mind
and that's the way that it's
staying all the time
And if your going to Boston,
I'm waiting here,
drowning on endless tears.
I'm writing to reach you,
I'd write all night long,
my heads full of tom Waites songs
I'd buy all that you wanted,
anything that you need
just don't let my heart bleed
I can't find a way back
your my virtuous soul
I guess these years of shit took their toll
I slept by a fountain
and I'll drown in the sea
so baby please love me
It’s all you gotta do

Paranoid AF
03:18
|
|||
|
I don't know if you really love me
and these days I don't even think I care
the devil stays up all night shooting matches
but you still believe
she'll be there in your hour of need
with her shotgun her dope
and her upper-class Gucci shoes
Do you think there's more to life than bad trips ?
And if so can you show me where to hide
I'm Paranoid as fuck and that’s on a good day
but you still believe
she'll be there in your hour of need
with her shotgun her dope
and her upper-class Gucci shoes
hook me up a fat line for old times sake
and then I'll kiss my mistress and go home
because sex to me is just so over rated
but you still believe
she'll be there in your hour of need
with her shotgun her dope
and her upper-class Gucci shoes

You're my Rhododendron
you're my Rhododendron girl
you're from another world
you've got candy floss kisses that taste like honey
but why d'you always hide behind the devil's smile
you're my piece of heaven
you're my piece of heaven lady
you drive this poor boy crazy
you've got candy floss kisses taste like honey
but why d'you always hide behind the devil's smile
go back to where you came from
go back to where you came from lady
and don't you tell me maybe
You've got candyfloss kisses that taste like honey
but why do you always hide behind the devil's smile
you're my Rhododendron
you're my Rhododendron
you're my Rhododendron
you're my Rhododendron
you're my Rhododendron

Need for Speed
02:45

I don't know what your thinkin
I don't know what you need
But someday I'll bring you to your knees
It's only love not devotion
That can shatter your dreams
That's when you find out nothings as it seems
Cause I've got a need need for speed
I've got a need need for speed
Take all that you want to
Leave nothing behind
She's just a revolution in your mind
Hate nothing but hatred
And let love conquer time
Then you'll own the angels in the sky
Cause I've got a need need for speed
I've got a need need for speed
Cause I've got a need need for speed
I've got a need need for speed
I've got a need need for speed
I've got a need need for speed
Need for speed
Need for speed
Need for speed
Need for speed

Iberia

Got mislead and I was left for dead
there was bullets in my head a pernicious dream
In a daze, through the morning haze
as revolver plays you'll soon forget what you see
As you give you always look to receive,
don't think it's lost on me your a hard one to please
And of late, I've been feeling the weight,
is this love or is it hate that's the question indeed.
You, your still my evergreen,
we're like the strongest trees
we'd take some cutting down
and I'll roots run through this town
I, I think of no one but you
when I go to sleep but when I wake
I think of everybody else.
First there's lust and then mistrust,
she thinks she's got you sussed, oh paranoid me
50 months and countless tears well they've lead us to here
her perennial scheme.
You, your still my evergreen,
we're like the strongest trees
we'd take some cutting down
and I'll roots run through this town
I, I think of no one but you
when I go to sleep but when I wake
Iberia
Iberia, you’re just one of those girls
Iberia
Iberia, your just a place in the world

Wake Me Up
04:56
|

|
I woke up late this morning
saw the colours fade away
it blew my mind
said your going nowhere honey
nowhere fast today
your not my kind
come on and wake me up wake me up
you haven’t got the bottle so you shake me up
in the morning wake me up wake me up
you haven’t got the bottle so you shake me up
when the day is dawning wake me up
I got on the train to nowhere
with a girl with emerald eyes
she blew my mind
I said time won’t last forever honey
tomorrow never knows
your not my kind
come on and wake me up wake me up
you haven’t got the bottle so you shake me up
in the morning wake me up wake me up
you haven’t got the bottle so you shake me up
when the day is dawning wake me up
I said cmon cmon wake me up
shake me up in the morning
when the day is dawning
and your still yearning for my love
cmon cmon cmon
heaven’s gates won’t hold you baby
someday soon I’ll drive you crazy
there’s gold dust raining from the sky
and I can’t love I don’t know why
and everywhere I see your face
my love for heavens no disgrace right on
the door was only half way shut
come on baby wake me up
cause you’re never gonna wake me up now
no you’re never gonna wake me
