Once In While


To Sheila
  
Twilight fades 
Through blistered avalon 
The sky's cruel torch 
On aching autobahn 
Into the uncertain divine 
We scream into the last divide 

You make me real 
You make me real 
Strong as i feel 
You make me real 

Sheila rides on crashing nightingale 
Intake eyes leave passing vapor trails 
With blushing brilliance alive 
Because it's time to arrive 

You make me real 
You make me real 
Strong as i feel 
You make me real 

Lately I just can't seem to believe 
Discard my friends to change the scenery 
It meant the world to hold a bruising faith 
But now it's just a matter of grace 

A summer storm graces all of me 
Highway warm sing silent poetry 
I could bring you the light 
And take you home into the night 

You make me real 
Lately I just can't seem to believe 
You make me real 
Discard my friends to change the scenery 
Strong as i feel 
It meant the world to hold a bruising faith 
You make me real 
But now it's just a matter of grace

 
Ava Adore
 
It's you that I adore 
You'll always be my whore 
You'll be the mother to my child 
And a child to my heart 
We must never be apart 
We must never be apart 

Lovely girl you're the beauty in my wrold 
Without you there aren't reasons left to find 

And I'll pull your crooked teeth 
You'll be perfect just like me 
You'll be a lover in my bed 
And a gun to my head 
We must never be apart 
We must never be apart 

In you I see dirty 
In you I count stars 
In you I feel so pretty 
In you I taste god 
In you I feel so hungry 
In you I crash cars 
We must never be apart 

Drinking mercury 
To the mystery of all that you should ever seek to find 
Lovely girl you're the murder in my wrold 
Dressing coffins for the souls I've left behind 
In time 
We must never be apart 

And you'll always be my whore 
Cause you're the one that i adore 
And I'll pull your crooked teeth 
You'll be perfect just like me 
In you I feel so dirty in you I crash cars 
In you I feel so pretty in you I taste god 
We must never be apart
 

Perfect
  
I know we're just like old friends 
We just can't pretend 
That lovers make amends 
We are reasons so unreal 
We can't help but feel that something has been lost 

But please you know you're just like me 
Next time I promise we'll be 
Perfect 
Perfect 
Perfect strangers down the line 
Lovers out of time 
Memories unwind 

So far I still know who you are 
But now I wonder who I was... 

Angel, you know it's not the end 
We'll always be good friends 
The letters have been sent on 

So please, you always were so free 
You'll see, I promise we'll be 
Perfect 
Perfect strangers when we meet 
Strangers on the street 
Lovers while we meet 

Perfect 
You know this has to be 
We always we're so free 
We promised that we'd be 
Perfect
 

Daphne Descends
 
With the sugar sickness 
You spy the kidnap kid 
Who kids you to oblivion 
It's the perfect hassle 
For the perfumed kiss 
He makes you miss him more than home 

You love him 
You love him more than this 
You love him and you cannot, you can't resist 
You love him 
You love him for yourself 
You love him and no one, no one else 

Past sidewalk ashes 
A last lovers arc 
You come apart to intertwine 
It was all so simple 
As you watched him move 
Across the darkness in your room 

You love him 
You love him for youself 
You love him and no one, no one else 

And the winding vines 
The pretty boys dive 
And thru the pinhole stars 
Into the shadow mind 
You will lose him then 
On some gentle dawn 
This boy is here and gone 

You love him 
You love him for yourself 
You love him and no one, no one else 
You love him 
You love him more than this 
You love him and you cannot, you can't resist 

You love him...

 
Once Upon A Time
  
Mother I'm tired 
Come surrender my son 
Time has ravaged on my soul 
No plans to leave but still I go 

Fallin' with the leaves 
Fallin' out of sleep 
To the last goodbyes 
Who cares why? 

Mother I've tried 
Wasting my life 
I haven't given up, I lie 
To make you so proud in my eyes 

Fallin' out of sleep 
Crawlin' over me 
To the last goodbyes 
Who cares why? 

Tuesdays come and gone 
Restless i still drive 
Try to leave it all behind 

Fallin', fallin' out of sleep 
Fallin', fallin' with the leaves 
I go crawlin', crawlin' over me 

Once upon a time in my life... 
I went falling... 

Mother I hope you know 
That I miss you so 
Time has ravaged on my soul 
To wipe a mothers tears grown cold

 
Tear
  
The lights came on fast 
Lost in motorcrash 
Gone in a flash unreal 
But you knew all along 
You laugh the light 
I sing the songs 
To watch you numb 

I saw you there 
You were on your way 
You held the rain 
And for the first time 
Heaven seemed insane 
Cause heaven is to blame 
For taking you away 

Do you know the way that I can? 
Do you know the way that I can't lose? 
Do you know the things that I can? 
Do you know the things that I can do? 

Where is your heart? where is your heart gone to? 
Tear me apart 
Tear me apart from you 
You laugh the light I cry the wound 
In gray afternoons 

I saw you there 
You were on your way 
You held the rain 
And for the first time 
Heaven seemed insane 
Cause heaven is to blame 
For taking you away 

The lights came to pass 
Dead opera motorcrash 
Gone in a flash unreal 
In nitrous overcast 

Do you know the way that I can? 
Do you know the way that I can't choose? 
Do you know the things that I can? 
Do you know the things that I can't lose? 

Tear me apart 
Tear me apart from you 
Where is your heart? 
Where has your heart run to?

 
Crestfallen
 
Who am I to need you when I'm down 
Where are you when I need you around 
Your life is not your own 

And all I ask you 
Is for another chance 
Another way around you 
To live by circumstance, once again 

Who am I to need you now 
To ask you why to tell you no 
To deserve your love and sympathy 
You were never meant to belong to me 

And you may go, but I know you won't leave 
Too many years built into memories 
Your life is not your own 

Who am I to need you now 
To ask you why to tell you no 
To deserve your love and sympathy 
You were never meant to belong to me 

Who am I to you? 
Along the way 
I lost my faith 

And as you were, you'll be again 
To mold like clay, to break like dirt 
To tear me uo in your sympathy 
You were never meant to belong to me 
You were never meant to belong to me 
You were never meant to belong to me 

Who am I?


Appels + Oranjes
 
What if the sun refused to shine? 
What if the clouds refused to rain? 
What if the wind refused to blow? 
What if the seas refused to wave? 
What if the world refused to turn? 
What if the stars would hesitate? 

What if, what is isn't true? 
What are you going to do? 
What if, what is isn't you? 
Does that mean you've got to lose? 
Digging for the feel of something new 

What if the silence let you dream? 
What if the air could let you breathe? 
What if the words would bring you here? 
What if this sound could bring you peace? 

What if, what is isn't true? 
What are you going to do? 
Digging for the feel of something new 
What if, what is isn't you? 
Does that mean you've got to lose? 

It came from your thoughts, your dreams and visions 
Ripped up from your weeks and indecisions 

What if the sun refused to shine? 
What if the clouds refused to rain? 
What if the world refused to turn? 
What if the clocks would hesitate? 

What if, what is isn't true? 
What are you going to do? 
What if, what is isn't you? 
Does that mean you've got to lose? 
Digging for the feel of something new 

Does that mean you've got to choose? 
The feel of something new 
Does that mean you've got to lose? 
The thoughts you cannot lose 
What are you gonna do?

 
Pug
  
Kiss and kill me sweetly 
Come and drive me home 
Drag the miles in me 
I am yours alone 

Inside where it's warm 
Wrap myself in you 
Outside where I'm torn 
Fight myself in two 
In two 
Into you 

Desire me so deeply 
Drain and kick me hard 
Whisper secrets for me 
Try to go too far 

Inside where it's warm 
Wrap myself in you 
Outside where I'm torn 
Fight myself in two 
In two 
Into... 

Please don't change 
Please don't change at all 
Bring your rain 
Bring your rain to fall 

Inside where it's warm 
Wrap myself in you 
Outside where I'm torn 
Fight myself in two 
In two 
Into you 

Come and kiss me sweetly 
Ride the telephone 
Drag the miles to me 
I am yours alone 
Yours alone 
On the telephone 
Yours alone 
Looking for a kiss kiss 
Yours alone
 

Tale of Dusty and Pistol Pete
  
Dusty screams, through doors and imaginary floors 
"Why can't you miss me?" 
Pistol pete removes the final breaths from her unkind and she is shaken 
What does this mean in love or in peace? 
With you lying next to me 
So faithless serene 
And she calls to him 

Let the waste cross the ancient trails to you 
Far out beneath the sorrow clouds 
Let them taste the bitter lost mistake of you 
Let them cry out through your rusted scars 

Alone he roams inside the ordinary catacombs of her waiting 
With raven hands she steals and staggers towards her man 
Still scorned by his demon 

Because he's undone 
Become the language of 
Disaster and love, vengeance and dust 
And she calls to him 

Let the waste cross the ancient trails to you 
Far out beneath the sorrow clouds 
Let them taste the bitter lost mistake of you 
Let them cry out through your rusted scars 

Dusty screams, through doors and imaginary scenes 
Of hurt and teardrop 
As he holds her down, in the cold lonely winds 
Together again, her inside him 
And she calls to him 

Let the waste cross the ancient trails to you 
Far out beneath the sorrow clouds 
Let them taste the bitter lost mistake of you 
Let them cry out through your rusted scars

 
Annie-Dog
 
Amphetamine annie-dog 
Has her leash and a face 
Her velvet spleen her shackle spine 
Her dimond curse 
It comes with mine 

A vessel she 
For violent I 
Confession arms a wake 
Mine, mine you were always mine 
Possessed by my taste 

And below the angel dog 
Combs her hair and sings her psalms 
The bombs go off 
She doesn't notice 
It all goes wrong 
She sets things tragic 
She is venus 
She is mars 
She's electric 
And the struggle of 

Upon my face we leave no trace 
But in her stomach mercury aged 

She holds the blood 
She carves the knives 
She digs the wives in our babies 

Amphetamine annie-dog 
Pulls her trash 
And her stories 
From place to place 
And bed to bed 
Gives of herself and the magnet head 

Another floor another ceiling 
Counting stairs with double meanings 

Is it wrong to be swallowed whole 
To disappear in her 
To give her the priceless peace 
Of giving up control 

We tumble out into the streets 
And annie-dog she drags her leash 
Pretty face 
Ugly mouth 
Bitter bred and so released 

And by the no 
And by the yes 
Annie goes if you couldn't guess 

A simple man 
A sycophant 
Her elephant with the laughing call 
She wants clean sheets 
And fresh flowers 
And dental shots 
And the hong kong glue 

Amphetamine annie-dog 
Has her leash and a face
 

Shame

You're gonna walk on home 
You're gonna walk alone 
You're gonna see this through 
Don't let them get to you 

Shame 

Love is good and love is kind 
Love is drunk and love is blind 
Love is good and love is mine 
Love is drunk all the time 

Shame 

You're gonna walk on home 
You're gonna walk alone 
You're gonna walk so far 
You're gonna wonder who you are 

Shame 

Love is good and love is kind 
Love is good and love is blind 
Love is good and love is mine 
Love is good all the time 

Hello goodbye, you know you made us cry...

 
Behold! The Night Mare
 
I've faced the fathoms in your deep 
Withstood the suitors quiet siege 
Pulled down the heavens just to please you 
Appease you 
The wind blows and I know 

I can't go on, digging roses from you grave 
To linger on, beyond the beyond 
Where the willows weep 
And whirlpools sleep, you'll find me 
The coarse tide reflects sky 

And the night mare rides on, and the night mare rides on 
With a december black psalm 
And the night mare rides on 
What i fear is lost here 
The wind blows and I know 

All you have to do is run away 
And steal yourself from me 
Become a mystery to gaze into 
You're so cruel in all you do 
But still I believe, I believe in you 

So may you come with your own knives 
You'll never take me alive 
With all the force of what is true 
Is there nothing I can do? 

I can't go on, digging roses from you grave 
To linger on, beyond the beyond 
Where the willows weep 
And whirlpools sleep, you'll find me 

And the night mare rides on, and the night mare rides on 
With a december black psalm 
And the night mare rides on 

I've faced the fathoms in your deep 
Withstood the suitors quiet siege 
Pulled down the heavens just to please you 
To hold the flower I can't keep

 
For Martha
 
Whenever I run 
Whenever I run to you lost one 
It's never done 
Just hanging on 

Just past has let me be 
Returning as if dream 
Shattered as belief 

If you have to go don't say goodbye 
If you have to go don't you cry 
If you have to go I will get by 
Someday I'll follow you and see you on the other side 

But for the grace of love 
I'd will the meaning of 
Heaven from above 

Your picture out of time 
Left aching in my mind 
Shadows kept alive 

If you have to go don't say goodbye 
If you have to go don't you cry 
If you have to go I will get by 
I will follow you and see you on the other side 

But for the grace of love 
I'd will the meaning of 
Heaven from above 

Long horses we are born 
Creatures more than torn 
Mourning our way home

 
Blank Page
 
Blank page is all the rage 
Never meant to say anything 
In bed I was half dead 
Tired of dreaming of rest 
Got dressed drove the state line 
Looking for you at the five and dime 
Stop sign told me stay at home 
Told me you were not alone 
Blank page was all the rage 
Never meant to hurt anyone 
In bed I was half dead 
Tired of dreaming of rest 
You haven't changed 
You're still the same 
May you rise as you fall 
You were easy you are forgotten 
You are the ways of my mistakes 
I catch the rainfall 
Through the leaking roof 
That you had left behind 
You remind me 
Of that leak in my soul 
The rain falls 
My friends call 
Leaking rain on the phone 

Take a day palnt some trees 
May they shade you from me 
May your children play beneath 

Blank page was all the rage 
Never meant to say anything 
In bed I was half dead 
Tired of dreaming of rest 
Got dressed drove the state line 
Looking for you at the five and dime 
But there I was picking pieces up 
You are a ghost 
Of my indecision 
No more little girl


Once in A While
  
Horses run 
Once in a while for you 

The shades will draw 
Once in a while for you 

Destiny will hide the sense of your time 
Once in a while 
Once in a while for you 

The soldiers will fall 
Once in a while for you 

The shades will crawl 
Once in a while for you 

You'll take the walls 
I will take the new ring 

Once in a while 
Once in a while it's you 
Once in a while it's you 

Once in a while 
You'll make it on your own 
You'll make it so alone 
Feel so alone 

You'll try to care 
Once in a while for me 
And I will be there 
Once in a while 
Once in a while for you 
Once in a while for you 
Once in a while for you
