LYRICS

Another year

Who will care if we fall through the gutter?

And as far as I can tell no one will shed a tear

When we’re all done talking

That’s when we’re done ourselves

When all the big shots in the world

Have grown above their own heads

When we are all done shaking the dollar bills in our hands

When all the big shots in the world

Get time measured in sand

Who will care if we fall through the gutter?

And as far as I can tell no one will shed a tear

Tell me who will care when we break our arms and our legs

As far as I can tell no one really cares

I feel so stressed out

Trying to get as much as I can

It’s either all or nothing

And everything is part of that plan

How could I not get it?

The bill never seemed to add up

If I shut down the traffic

Traffic shouldn’t try to catch up

I’m trying so hard to wake up

This bill doesn’t seem to add up

Blanket of sorrow

It’s cold out here this Christmas
One pair of eyes are missing
Are you still there or are you at all?

We all know there are still tomorrows
We all know the blanket of sorrow
Are you still there are you at all?

I can see the open space
Can you hear me calling?
I cannot hear your voice

but I remember the laughter

I would give all that I have

Just to be with you

It’s cold out here this Christmas
One pair of eyes are missing

We all know there are still tomorrows

We all know the blanket of sorrow

Are you still there are you at all?

Drown in slow motion

Standing in my way like I’m used to

Hoping that there’s some other way I’ll drown

Standing in my way like I’m used to

Waiting for the moment my head hits the ground

Your skin a safety boat

Your voice a warming coat

Can I breathe through your lungs?

Behind us a raging storm

Standing in my way like I’m used to

Hoping that there’s some other way I’ll drown

Standing in my way like I’m used to

Waiting for the moment my head hits the ground

Oh my sailor say goodnight

Close your eyes and just let go

We drown in slow motion

Take my hand

The hand I take

The hand you break

Stormy ocean, how many sailors drown in slow motion?

I see the wailor

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I

 

Pull me out of bed I’m so sore headed

Body parts on flames and the trapdoor’s damaged

Pull me out of bed I’m so sore headed

Body parts on flames and the trapdoor’s damaged

I freeze inside myself

I set fire to my soul tonight

Human, sizzling goat head

You’ve come to collect me tonight

Playing with carbon and hydrogen

Though cold I’m burning inside

I’m burning inside

I freeze inside myself

I set fire to my soul tonight 

Home

I’ve raised my daughter and I told her

“Don’t bother pleasing them. I’ve gotten tired but I’ve got the shoulders to say no to this”

Home is where I’ll raise again

All I know is that home is where I’ll be whole

I’ve come a long way and I get the shivers

Thinking about the wounds that I’ve had and the wounds that are about heal

Home is where I go when the horizon closes upon me

Home is where I’ll raise

All I know is home is where I’ll be whole

My timeline is the road I’ll walk along

Until then life is a one shot for sure

Blood streaming

My heart beating

Head dreaming

My heart beating

Inside your lungs superstar

It’s your birthday

Down we go

Down down down

Like a downer movie

It’s only a show

I will be following you on Instagram

Take a look at yourself

In your beautiful mirror

We were planning on drinking that champagne tonight

What a beautiful sight

You are wearing your smile

It’s time to celebrate your name tonight

Take a look at yourself

In your beautiful mirror

You are floating on the screens tonight

Like a million pictures

No need to be yourself around here

There’s no need

It was love

I’m tripping over the things you said

The orchestra is playing another love song

All this urban wilderness soon will be getting to my head

Love, I knew it was love

Though I could not hear a sound

I knew that I was well found

I walked down to the edge with you

The cars were driving by

Love, I knew it was love

Let’s run to the edge of the kickboard

Let’s jump into the sea

We’ll swim across the ocean

Then we will disappear

Love, I knew it was love

Once

You once were a child

Once had a future

You were once were so small

Where is your mother?

You once had a dream

Once had a future

You always stood tall

Where is your mother now?

It’s a different time

Don’t own any key to any door

Don’t own any shoes to walk on the floor

Don’t own no house

Don’t own no car

Don’t own anything at all

Don’t know where I got to go now?

Don’t know what I ought to do?

You once had a dream

You once had a future

Where is your father?

So where is your mother and your father who put you into this?

Don’t know where I’ve got to go?

Don’t know what I ought to do?
Does it really matter? 

On your own again

When you get there in your garden

You have another cigarette

Oh you’re having another dream about

When you are sailing on the water

And I am not there to be found with you

You are on your own again

I’ve been following you many days

I’m driving in the car behind you

Oh you’re having another cigarette

You are out there on your own

on the streets again

My lover what can we do now?

So many years have passed we’re through now.

Having that dream

Having that dream again

On your own my friend…

That’s my rock and roll

He’s got his will on his side

Backbone in his thighs

He’s got wearing his heart in his sleeve

What a relieve

He’s got to break and shake

That’s my rock and roll

Oh won’t you break and shake me tonight

Waited for days

Still in a haze

He’s got me longing for more

I always want more

He’s got to break and shake

That’s my rock and roll

Oh won’t you break and shake me tonight

rock and roll won’t you come and save me tonight

Cause  I’m waiting for you

Won’t you come and save me tonight?

I said rock and roll won’t you come and take me tonight?

Cause I’m waiting for you

He’s standing in the doorway

With his back on the floor

Promise me you won’t sleep till late

With music in his heart

Under the rainbow

It was under the rainbow

It was under the stars that he walked by me

It was under the rainbow

There were thunders and rain

He walked right through my face

Walked right through my hair

And I heard angels sing

Can the birds and the bees

Tell the seas and the trees

That he waved to say hello

To the rulers and kings

To the makers of storm

He walked right through my skin

Washed away all my sins

I heard angels sing

Angels…

It was under the rainbow

Under the snow

Here I endure the winter

Waiting for your return

Here, deep down in the dark

I rest my tired heart

I am too tired to sleep, too cold to move on

And follow you back into the gleam

So I lay under the snow

Where love cannot grow

Will someone please defreeze this water?

The snow is playing its trick

Footsteps I cannot read

Here deep down in the dark

I rest my tired eyes

They are too blind to see and I’m too weak to move on

And follow you back into the gleam

So I lay under the snow

Where love cannot grow

Will someone please defreeze this water?

Follow you back

Back into the gleam

I’ll follow you back

Back into the gleam…
