King of the horseflies, dark prince of death
HIs tragic forces are heaven sent
In sweet things, in a lovers breath
In knowing this was meant to be the last

A go-go-kids, a go-go-style
A suck suck suck kiss, a suck suck suck smile
As always, in young need
A veiled promise to never die

On dead highways, her black beauties roam
For June angels, so far from home
For a love lost, a faded picture
To tread lightning, to ink the lavender skies

So get on the bomb
Get back where you belong

Bodies
Cast the pearls aside, of a simple life of need
Come into my life forever
The crumubled cities stand as known
Of the sights you have been shown
Of the hurt you call your own

Love is suicide

The empty bodies stand at rest
Casualties of their own flesh
Afflicted by their dispossession

(Chorus)
But no bodies ever knew
Nobodys
No bodies felt like you
Nobodys

Love is suicide
(deny, decide, destroy, disobey, disguise)

Now we drive the night, to the ironies of peace
You can't help deny forever
The tragedies reside in you
The secret sights hide in you
The lonely nights divide you in two

All my blisters now revealed
In the darkness of my dreams
In the spaces in between us

(Chorus)

Love is suicide

Thirty-Three
Speak to me in a language I can hear
Humour me before I have to go
Deep in thought I forgive everyone
As the cluttered streets greet me once again

I know I can't be late, supper's waiting on the table
Tomorrow's just an excuse away
So I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own

The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
At the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
Steeple guide me to my heart and home
The sun is out and up and down again

I know I'll make it, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you

And for a moment I lose myself
Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
I've journeyed here and there and back again
But in the same old haunts I still find my friends
Mysteries not ready to reveal
Sympathies I'm ready to return

I'll make the effort, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
Tomorrow's just an excuse
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you

In the Arms of Sleep
Sleep will not come to this tired body now
Peace will not come to this lonely heart
There are some things I'll live without
But I want you to know that I need you right now
I need you tonite

I steal a kiss from her sleeping shadow moves
'cause I'll always miss her wherever she goes
And I'll always need her more than she could ever need me
I need someone to ease my mind
But sometimes a someone is so hard to find

And I'll do anything to keep her here tonite
And I'll say anything to make her feel alright
And I'll be anything to keep her here tonite
'cause I want you to stay, with me
I need you tonite

She comes to me like an angel out of time
As I play the part of saint on my knees
There are some things I'll live without
But I want you know that I need you right now

Suffer my desire (2x)
Suffer my desire for you

1979
Shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With th headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we'd mever see an end to it all

And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Just where our bones will rest to dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below

Double cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slippin dues down to see
That we don't even care as restless as we are

We feel the pull in the land of the thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope

Justine never knew the rules
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made
I know you better than you fake it

To see that we don't care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Just where our bones will rest to dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below

The street heats the urgency of sound
As you can see there's no one around

Tales of Scorched Earth
Farewell goodnight last one out turn out the lights
And let me be, let me die inside
Let me know the way from this world of hate in you
'cause the dye is cast, and the bitch is back
And we're all dead, yeah we're all dead
Inside the future of a shattered past

(Chorus)
I lie just to be real, I'd die just to feel
Why do the same old things keep on happening?
Because beyond my hopes there are no feelings

Bless the martyrs and kiss the kids
For knowing better, for knowing this
'cause you're all whores, and I'm a fag
And I've got no mom and I've got no dad
To save me the wasted, save me from myself

(Chorus)

Everybody's lost just waiting to be found
Everyone's a thought just waiting to fade
So fuck it all 'cause I don't care
So what somehow somewhere we dared
To try to dare to dare for a little more

I lie just to be real, I'd die just to feel
Why do the same old things keep on happening?
Because beyond my hopes there are no reasons

Thru the Eyes of a Ruby
Wrap me up in always, and drag me in with maybes
Your innocence is treasure, your innocence is death
Your innocence is all I have
Breathing underwater, and living under glass
And if you spin your love around
The secrets of your dreams
You may find your love is gone
And is not quite what it seemed
To appear to disappear
Beneath all your darkest fears
I believe in never, I believe in all the way
But belief is not to notice, belief is just some faith
And faith can't help you to escape
And with this ring I wed thee true
And with this ring I wed thee now
And with this ring I play so dead
But no one's asking for the truth, so let me tell you
If you spin your love around
The secrets of your dreams
You may find your love is gone
And is not quite what it seemed
To appear to disappear
Beneath all your darkest fears
To the revelations of fresh faced youth
No one will come to save you
So speak your peace in the murmurs drawn
But youth is wasted on the young
Your strength is my weakness, your weakness my hate
My love for you just can't explain
Why we're forever frozen, forever beautiful,
Forever lost inside ourselves
The night has come to hold us young

Stumbleine
Boredoms in the bathroom shaking out the loose teeth
Sally's in the stirrups claiming her destiny
And nobody nowhere understands anything
About me and all my dreams
Lost at sea

Jack it up Judy, set your heart alight
Mayfair mistress of the satellites
Misspent youth - faking up a rampage
To hold off the real slaves
Paid off and staid

And what you never knew
Can never get to you
So fake it

I'll be your stumbleine
I'll be your super queen
And make you

Jukebox fuckup hanging round the drugstore
No matter what you say, he'll be back for more
Mommy's in the manger with the little kids
She's got her reasons, got my forgets
Of tears and idle threats
Misplaced

And no matter what they do
They can't get to you
So fake it

I'll be your stumbleine
I'll be your super queen
And make you me

Come around Ruby I could never sleep alone

XYU
She didn't wanna be, she didn't wanna know
She couldn't run away 'cause she was crazy
She gave it all away, she saw her baby break
And in the air it hung that she was dull razors

And I said, I wanna fill you up
I wanna break you, I wanna give you up
From one another, another one should come
To one another no one should come between us

Still I was lonely, and she was by my side
My one and only knows that she could never hide
I couldn't feel her, and it was just a game
'cause I was lonely and she was crazy

Rat-tat-tat, ka boom boom
Now take that, and just a bit of this
'cause I'm a watcher, and a doer of none
Come to save you, 'cause you're all mine

I hurt where I can't feel, I feel where I can't hurt
I know where I can't know, I bleed for me and mine
Ka-boom, a rat-tat-tat, and some good ole bliss
'cause I'm a sister, and I'm a motherfuck

I am made of shamrocks, I am made of stern stuff
I am never enough, I am the forgotten child

And I said, I wanna fill you up
I wanna break you, I wanna give you up
From one another, no one should ever come
In between us, between us and our love

Mary had a little lamb, her face as white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went, I was sure to go
Now Mary's got a problem, and Mary's not a stupid girl
Mary's got some deep shit, and Mary does not forget
And this is how Mary's garden grows
And this is how Mary has her ghosts

And in the eyes of the jackyl I say ka-boom

Now we begin descent, to where we've never been
There is no going back, this wasn't meant to last
This is a Hell on earth, we are meant to serve
And she will never learn

Bye bye, baby goodbye

We Only Come Out at Night
(Chorus)
We only come out at night (2x)
The days are much too bright
We only come out at night

And once again, you'll pretend to know me well, my friends
And once again, I'll pretend I know the way thru the empty space
Thru the secret places of the heart

(Chorus)

I walk alone, I walk alone to find the way home
I'm on my own, I'm on my own to see the ways
That I can't help the days, you will make it home ok
I know you can, and you can

(Chorus)

And once again, you'll pretend to know that
There's an end, that there's an end to this begin
It will help you sleep at night
It will make it seem that right is always right
Alright?

We only come out at night

Beautiful
Beautiful, you're beautiful, as beautiful as the sun
Wonderful, you're wonderful, as wonderful as they come
And I can't help but feel attached
To the feelings I can't even match
With my face pressed up to the glass, wanting you

Beautiful, you're beautiful, as beautiful as the sky
Wonderful, it's wonderful, to know that you're just like I

(Chorus)
And I'm sure you know me well, as I'm sure you don't
But you just can't tell who'll you love and who you won't

And I love you, and you love me
So let the clouds roll by your face
We'll let the world spin on to another place
We'll climb the tallest tree of them all
To look down on you and me and them

(Chorus)

Don't let your life wrap up around you
Don't forget to call, whenever
I'll be here just waiting for you
I'll be under your stars forever
Neither here nor there just right beside you
I'll be under the stairs forever
Neither here nor there just right beside you

Lily (My One and Only)
Lily, my one and only
I can hardly wait till I see her
Silly, I know I'm silly
'cause I'm hanging in this tree
In the hopes that she will get a glimpse of me

And thru her window shade
I watch her shadow move
I wonder if she....?

Lily, my one and only
Love is in my heart and in your eyes
Will she or won't she want him
No one knows for sure
But an officer is knocking on my door

And thru her window shade
I watch her shadow move
I wonder if she could only see me?

And when I'm with her I feel fine
If I could kiss her
I wouldn't mind the time it took to find

My Lily, my one and only
I can hardly wait till I see her
Oh Lily, I know you love me
'cause as they're draggin' me away
I swear I saw her raise her hand and wave (goodbye)

By Starlight
By starlight I'll kiss you
And promise to be your one and only
I'll make you feel happy
And leave you to be lost in mine
And where will we go, what will we do?
Soon said I, will know

Dead eyes, are you just like me?
'cause her eyes were as vacant as the seas
Dead eyes, are you just like me?

And all along, we knew we'd carry on just to belong

By starlight I know you
As lovely as a wish granted true
My life has been empty, my life has been untrue
And does she really know, who I really am?
Does she really know me at last

Dead eyes, are you just like me?

Farewell and Goodnight
Goodnight, to every little hour that you sleep tite
May it hold you through the winter of a long night
And keep you from the loneliness of yourself
Heart strung, is your heart frayed and empty
'cause it's hard luck, when no one understands your love
It's unsung, and I say

(Chorus)
Goodnight, my love, to every hour and every day
Goodnight, always, to all that's pure that's in your heart

Goodnight, may your dreams be so happy and your
Head lite with the wishes of a sandman and a night light
Be careful not to let the bedbugs
Sleep tight nestled in your covers

(2x)
The sun shines, but I don't
The silver rain will wash away

And you can tell, it's just as well

(Chorus)
