Palace of Sin
05:21
|
|

In a church with you hiding
I guess I would stay
And if your chest was the pulpit
I guess I would pray
And the whole stoup I would drink
And I'd be drunk with faith
And I'd holler "Amen ! Thank God for your breath"
Your holy breath on my skin
But you're just a little child
Dropped off in a basket
On a big river and became stranded
On the banks of my bed
In a church with you singing
I guess I would come
And if your song was a moan
I guess I'd succumb
To my palace of sin
I'd get blisters on my knees
From kneelin' and prayin' please be mine [And in your little
tin box] I'd put in some pennies
For the candles I'd light
And a little red light will glow
In my palace of sin
And a little red light will glow
In my palace of sin
In my palace of skin

Something in the ground
07:41
|
|
||
My tired fingers brought me here
Kneelin', diggin' dirt and fear
There's a smell & there's a sound
There's something in the ground
Tonight the stars reduce us back to nothing
Oh but I know we exist
They're glancin' up above my shoulder
"What am I doin' here" it's like they wonder
With a moon so low any star would shine
And this is why you do
This is why you do
But I don't need your love around
Cause I don't need your pride around
There's somehting in the ground
It's hidin' in the ground
Dirty fingernails won't let go
Broken fingernails won't give up

And I'm milky and I'm sweet
You're like honey you have me close my eyes
I got love in my tummy
I got oceans that dance above the skies
I get dirty but It's fun
I get muddy but the sun is out
And I'm hungry and I'm tossed
But I'm not empty I ain't lost it all
|

Oh let me be
01:36
|
|
||
I gave up on you
Where you gave all to me
Now what can I do
To have you
Let go of me
Cause I, I let go of you
When you, you'd go on with me
Why can't you see
That I let you be
So don't you let me be too
Oh let me be

When your body takes
03:07
|
|
||
When your body takes
Mine is a-leavin'
When your body shakes
Mine is a-fadin'
But it's my body breaking
When yours is asleep
It's my body aching
And yours don't ever weep
When your moon is rising
And I'm all engulfed
I see the horizon
But you draw my gun
My body's resting
When yours is at war
I'm no good for wrestling
I'm scared of what you are
Now the night is too slow
And the white is graying
Your eyes are too low
For the light to hit in
You once were a beggar
Now you're a crook
And you feel so much better
Not ashamed of what you took
When your body peaks
Mine is ashamed
It's numb and it's weak
When your blood is aflame
But it's my body bleeding
When yours is away
It's my body needing
But yours don't ever pay

She is like a song
05:08
|
|
||
There's a great deal of lights
In the city tonight
And I smoke them all
There's a great deal of stars
In the sky of this bar
And I drink them all
And she is like a song
As she's walking along
The room
Oh boy ! for a second to sing it
And to my room I'd bring it [back
The memory of it
But I'm scared of this mouth
The scar of those lips
It might open again
I'm afraid of those sighs
They're frail when she dies
In my hands
And she is like a song
And not a single note is wrong
And I hum
Oh boy ! for a second to sing it
And I'd carry it back to my room
The memory of it
The memory of when I sang this song

Only someone burning
04:01
|
|
||
Only someone burning could have me burn along
Would have to be slow, though
To help us last for long
Only someone raining would have me drown along
Would have to be a hard rain, though
To be wet for long
I'd love her in the kitchen
I'd love her on the tiles
I'd love her on the oven
And her muffins would burn meanwhile
That one's a perfect circle growing within me
Oh and I love her shape
But she's stealing my corners away
Oh yes I love her shape
But she's eating my angles
She's breaking my ankles
And I never thought I'd tremble
For a circle so plain
Okay I'll love her in the ...kitchen
I'll tremble on the tiles
I'll shiver on the table
And the pie will burn in the meantime

You and I were the coolest birds
And I wear our war feathers
Alone in the nest
And the rain, the rain's on everyone
But it don't wet the same
Wouldn't they be flyin'
Wouldn't they be flyin'
The devil is a woman
And I'm scared to die in her hands
The devil is a woman
And I fear for my blood

Your drinking shoulder
03:58
|
|
||
We wallow in our pints of beer
And why we do it ain't exactly clear
But we keep doin' it along the years
I guess it helps you muffling up your fears
I got a flask that we could share right here
If you could only stay with me my dear
It's easier holding back your tears
Amongst the larks, the clinking and the cheers
I'll be your drinking shoulder
When you're kneeling sad and bitter
Oh when you're feelin' down
Just open up another
Bottle you'll be glad and better
Oh when you're feelin' down
Drinking makes me suffer and reveal
The pain, yeah but it keeps me real
Have you ever been broken hard and slow
Then tell me what about the healin'
Staring at the ceiling, filling up a glass
The one that'll make me kneel
One more last drop of poison trying to move me
And change the way I feel

Black Velvet
07:19
|
|
||
Let your cheek onto mine
And your hand in my hand
Make those promises you'll break at dawn
And let us sigh till then
Let the rain on the town
Gently weep
Let the clouds on the night
Be your wings
Clouded in black velvet
Clouded in black velvet
Let the light take your hand
Into dark velvet
Let the night be your friend
In her black cloak
Let the emptiness dance around you
And fill you up
Let it wrap you up in
Her famous warm coat
Shrouded in black velvet
Shrouded in black velvet

Crumpled pages
01:41
|
|
||
There's a bottle full of answers by your bed
But you won't drink
Cause you like your empty head
And the taste of thirst
In that book that's full of hopes
There ain't a single line you'll read
And you pass it on to me
You won't cope first
But I've read enough, the crumpled pages of our nights

Molina's blues
04:20
|
|
||
The stars are so many
But it's a desperate glow
They look so lonely to me
Cause they don't know each other
They just burn and beam all over
They're wearing their best smile
But they've been there a while
No one ever came to them and say
"baby you're my light"
They burn hard
But they burn too far
Now I know who burns up there
Now I know who burns up there
Now I know who burns up there
