Drawing Down The Curses
I woke from the dream
In your eyes were the skies
In the sun, a pearl
And I know I should have trusted
But I didn’t
We rode on their backs
I was more, I was less than my time had past
And I wanted to give you shelter
But I couldn’t
Oh
Collapse of the west
When the writers of the poems could be anyone
And I wondered to myself
What have I done?
I woke in the dawns
And the dead were putting sunglasses on
And I wondered to myself
What could I have done?
Oh
But for now my time
Is drawing down the curses
Save us from the world of weeping
Widows and their honorary grieving
Know the perils such careless prayers
So let me be the first to say it
When there’s no blood there no body to betray it
Oh the timing of such wicked affairs
I woke from a dream
In your eyes were the skies
In the sun, a pearl
And I know I shouldn’t trust it
But I did it
Boys took their love
Like a swan in the mud
We were carried off
When the water turns to havoc and drowns us!
But for now my time
Is drawing down the curses
Save us from the world of weeping
Widows and their honorary grieving
Know the perils such careless prayers
So let me be the first to say it
When there’s no blood there no body to betray it
Oh the timing of such wicked affairs
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Come save us all from the world you’ve founded
Don’t wake us up, we’re leaving
Save us from the world of weeping
Widows and their honorary grieving
Know the perils such careless prayers
So let me be the first to say it
When there’s no blood there no body to betray it
Oh the timing of such wicked affairs
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Darkness On The Rise
Take your time
Do mean what you say
You’re not taking to just anybody here
It’s some kind of new game to play
I don’t wish to be a part of it
And now I’m drinking ‘til I come to life
We’re animals staring from at the end of private worlds
Animals staring from at the end of private words
Something always taking what I meant to give away
Lead me to the daylight
Something always taking what I meant to give away
Lead me to the daylight
Wake me up
And let me sleep late
I don’t want to be in love with anyone
Except myself
And your charming face
But I don’t know either too well these days
And now I’m drinking ‘til I come to life
We’re animals staring from at the end of private worlds
Other drugs / Pascal's abyss
We dubbed the night
I’m singing nothing to no one
Every girl / in every song
Is staying there
We’re singing about you!
Something always taking what I meant to give away
Lead me to the daylight
Something always taking what I meant to give away
Lead me to the daylight
Where darkness on the rise
Where darkness on the rise

Nocturnal Visions
Say what you want babe
But I know what you’re doing
I know what you’re doing
I know it
Say what you want babe
In the white virgin ruins
In the white virgin ruins
I’m cast for a new role
You asked me to tell you
You asked me to tell you
You asked
Put down your drink here, come with me
A few words could puncture me slowly
I won’t be looking for anyone else
In my new apartment
They used to watch me from their windows
Nocturnal visions
Say what you want babe
You don’t know what you’re doing
You don’t know what you’re doing
You don’t know
The slide of your canvas
Dumber now that you’re thinking
Dumber now that you’re thinking
I’m cast for a new role
You asked me to tell you
You asked me to tell you
You asked
Put down your drink here, come with me
A few words could puncture me slowly
I won’t be looking for anyone else
In my new apartment
They used to watch me from their windows
Nocturnal visions
At the table you address
Everyone all at once
We were a country of children
Nocturnal visions
You were only wishing that you would have known
You were only kidding but they went alone
When I’m bravest in the night
When a kingdom’s burning bright
I could kept myself a little more angry
Keep myself a little more angry
I’m bravest in the night
When a kingdom’s burning bright
I could kept myself a little more angry
Keep myself a little more angry
When I’m bravest in the night
When a kingdom’s burning bright
I could kept myself a little more angry
Keep myself a little more angry
Say what you babe, but I know what you’re doing

Certain Ends
Between the wheels and the rails and the road
Boats are laying on their sides in the moat
I found a path and followed it to the sea
Stacks of eucalyptus leafs by the band
A show for drunken wives of Vice Presidents
I found a captain waiting behind the stage
It’s easier to call, it’s easier to call then come around you
The river boat sails where the dark lake descends
Only with a reference to certain ends
Uninterested in a number of things
It’s easier to call, it’s easier to call then come around you
It’s easier to call, it’s easier to call then come around you
You you you you you
You you you you you

Can’t Ever Win
In the summer I’ll relax a bit
In the summer you’ll relax a bit too
Won’t you?
Smart but never intimidating
Smart but never intimidating
Oh friendly but not sarcastic
And I can’t ever win
I can’t ever win
And I can’t ever win
I can’t ever win
And I can’t ever win
I can’t ever win
And I can’t ever win
Unless it’s with you
I was drinking on the beach with her
She was drinking on the beach with me
Oh we’ve made it
Oh weve made it
They have all forgotten me or worse
They have all forgotten me or worse
They haven’t
What I have found is our wandering lives
It was late, we were leaving
Take us home, take us home
We’ll put the flowers in some water
What I have done, I have shined my shoes
In a blazer and shirt I walked into the
Walked into the ... walked into the ... night
And I can’t ever win
I can’t ever win
And I can’t ever win
I can’t ever win
And I can’t ever win
I can’t ever win
And I can’t ever win
Unless it’s with you

Passing Cars
I never drive at night
Between the silhouettes
She used to hang around me
But I guess she left
The years have done their mark
They’ve paralyzed you too
Just like the passing cars
Of people you once knew
I ran into the woods
Of this adult new life
Disguising my desire
From the place outside
We slid along like lushes
On expensive rails
Before the passing cars
Before their wild trails
So just don’t say
Everyone is coming down
Cause everything is endless now
They’ll love you again
Moonlit and every voice
Off in the distance said
Something was unfolding
Before the brakelights sent
A signal to my head
Felt an unwanted thrill
Inside the passing cars
Of people you once
My life is not ending
Your life will never end
I didn’t realize these things before-or-hand
So up and down the coast
We get tossed back and forth
I couldn’t give it all
You couldn’t take much more
So just don’t say
Everyone is coming down
Cause everything is endless now
They’ll love you again
Darling I just can’t take it
When they’ve dug me out
So just don’t say
Everyone is coming down
Just don’t say
Everyone is coming down
Cause everything is endless now
They’ll love you again
You say everything is coming down
Well I don’t want to hear that now
They’ll love me again

Young Actress
Don’t you stop to entertain
A body is a building, it’s the only house you’ve made
‘The sky salutes us both’ I said
But I didn’t know it yet
Don’t you want to see a light
A cat inside the garden
And a quiet wedding night
He strolls across the fountain as if it’s gonna be alright
Beneath the fires at night
Beneath the fires at night
Don’t you stop to entertain
The light from every city like a tunnel on a train
These places take away things from you
No matter what you give away
Don’t you want to see the lights
A cat inside the garden
And a quiet wedding night
And the crowds will turn their backs on you, I
Gave up everything to be with this
I gave up everything to be with this
It gave me good time to expect evil things!
A young actress won’t (to) take some time and learn your new lines
Everybody’s here for you
Take some time and learn your new lines
Everybody’s here for you
Everybody’s here for you
Beneath the fires at night
Beneath the fires at night

Great White Sky
There are no lost ships
There is no treasure here
Hidden behind the stage
These empires of coal
I’m swimming in the ash
Without describing how
And now I’ve lost you
Now I’ve lost you to
Everyone else
Upwards we went into the great white sky
I still would give it all to you
Without forgiveness
Or cold perfection
I am drawing toward the end
Not even worth hunting
You are the rifle set
No intention to row
And now I’ve lost you
Now I’ve lost you to everyone (until)
Upwards we went into the great white sky
I still would give it all to you
From above the tall trees
A painted bird goes free
And I am holding onto these nests
