Haze

In the middle of the night, standing in the city
Your mind sits wide open like some sort of passing dream
The cat's calling you now
Shadows on the wall hint at offerings
There's nothing left for me or you now
Color drips out of 1,000 dead television screens
"I walk the shadows"
I work for the broken land
("Don't turn the light on. don't touch a thing.")
I walk in shadows -- cemetery streets you're on have doubts.
There's nothing left for you
Your currency is brilliant somnolence
"I want to shake the wall"
No reason to wish you well;
Wishing back and forth again
One night over
One fell over
You pulled over
Cause you're my friend at the ending
One night won't set you loose
I was sitting in the back seat,
I was staring at a stranger; held her in my arms
We were driving past a factory
A scent of danger,
No aces were in my palms
I was sitting in the back seat,
I was staring straight into a wicked screen
I was coming up with empty
Color drips out of a million computer streams
SIT DOWN LOCKED AND LOADED
Sit around you wish you exploded
"Relax, pass the weed, man"
Hold on, run from policemen
Its the night you ran in the parking lot
Its the night you said you pretend you forgot
"Relax, remember to breathe, man"
(Suffer in confusion)
One night won't set you loose, no.
One night won't set you loose no.
(this is not where it goes, this is not where it goes, this is not where it goes, this is not ....)

Glow (The Empress)

Freestyle north,
I'm over it now
Nothing is left for me to do
I can't find my map
I traded it once
Searching around for something that's new
And you trace lines with your fingertips
They point like antennas, their delirious
Your eyes trace stars under evening clouds
You sink in the backseat and out of your gown
I'm on a map
I'm out of my head
I'm over and under the things that you said
Can't sort it out
Lost inside the changing summertime
We drive all night just to feel something
Your hands reach out into the pouring rain
You look up and you laugh a bit
I don't know why you're mysterious
Speak to me with bright red lips
Whisper code words that don't exist
Move us both into the express
Glow like gold, you're the empress
I am alive when I'm touching your skin
I am in time when I live in your sin
We might collapse, there is nothing to do
There is nothing around for us to look forward to.

Spin

I could close my eyes and watch the clouds with you
We could act surprised as all the flowers bloom
I could walk in thought under the autumn moon
We could dream a lot and fall in love too soon
Do you really always doubt?
I could spend the night and watch the earth with you
We could blend the light that comes from falling moons
I could win a lot and hope the timing's true
We could spin our thoughts and fall in love too soon
Do you really always doubt?
All the times and all the seasons
All the signs and all the reasons
I see your face reflecting off the autumn moon
I see your face reflecting off the autumn moon
Do you really always doubt?

Lonesome Prairie

When I see that lonesome prairie
Always going round the bend
Her silent voice it keeps on laughing
Never will I see your face again
Lonesome prairie ...
Do you call yourself an angel?
Do you see it when it spins?
Her silhouette it keeps on laughing
Never will I see your face again
Lonesome prairie ...
I wanna go around the bend one time again
Two times you swore to me
that we would see each other's faces laughing
Oh lonesome prairie ...

Who Are You?

Who are you,
what have you done?
Who are you,
what have you done?
Who are you,
what have you done?
Who are you,
what have you done (to me and to my wife)?

look at your face
you send me into outer space
behind the wheel
lies the different things we will feel

Admire
05:29

Settling down in a city
Feeling betrayed by desire
Settling down in a city
You are the one I admire
Walking along after midnight
Feeling the glow from the fire
Walking alone under streetlights
You are the one I admire
Settling down in the city
Feeling the buzz of desire
Settling down in the city
You are the one I admire

If the shoe fits wear it
Cinderella motherfucker
She's the queen of it all
She's the queen of the whole damn mall
Like a rat caught in a maze
Every minute there's a sucker
She's in love with it all
She's in love with everything
If the key fits use
Unlock one door, then lock the other
Run it away from it all
Anything just to not feel small
Find yourself catching a break
Before you run and duck for cover
She's in love with it all,
until the truth spoils everything
You have to see it to believe it
Stares right down your face
Reaching for your open eyes
Get back to the original place
If the shoe fits wear it
Cinderella motherfucker
Here's the thing of it all
Everyone wants to watch kings fall
Like a rat caught in a maze
Every minute there's another
I'm the king of it because I spoil everything
You have to see it to believe it
Stares right down your face
Reaching for your open eyes
The moment that you fall from grace
....
