of every way to steal your time
now all the days have changed to weeks
and still the years fly by
never thought to question why

gorgeous

i was there
when they would stare
at you just like
the light had fallen
from the sun
you'd think that
jesus had come

i called you sugar on that day
and later sweetness drove my manic haze
and i found another name

so gorgeous was the day we met
i couldn't speak except to say how
gorgeous that i thought you were to me

delirious and daylight falling
into night i fell
i thought i'd drown myself
i thought i'd drown myself in you
well i shook the honey glaze from my head
and i realized, yeah i realized
i'd do anything for you
i'd do anything for you

my eyes were spinning round
like the twist of a top
my head reeling round so fast
i didn't think it could stop
but i stopped it

gorgeous was the day we met
i couldn't speak except to say how
gorgeous that i thought you were to me
so gorgeous was the day we met
i couldn't speak except to say how
gorgeous that the two of us could be

spilled myself all over you like syrup
all delicious and stuck on you
yeah we'll wreck ourselves
yeah we'll wreck ourselves as two?
no unseen force can deny this -
why would it even try?
it'll never stop
it'll never go away

my eyes were spinning round
like the twist of a top
my head reeling round so fast
i didn't think it could stop
but i stopped it

gorgeous was the day we met
i couldn't speak except to say how
gorgeous that i thought you were to me
so gorgeous was the day we met
i couldn't speak except to say how
gorgeous that the two of us could be
so gorgeous was the day we met
i couldn't speak except to say how
gorgeous that the two of us could be
so so gorgeous

communion

if you could take me with you
would you be delicate with me?
this is my first time communion
i cannot breathe or speak or see

i'm out of my mind
i'm out of my mind

i'm out of my mind
there's no words to communicate to you
i'm out of my mind
there's no words to communicate to you

there are no words for what you are
no way i'll ever quite explain
they are too fearful for reason
only the veil that is to blame

i'm out of my mind
there's no words to communicate to you
i'm out of my mind
there's no words to communicate to you

i'm out of my mind
there's no words to communicate to you
i'm out of my mind
no, my mind, yeah, communicate to you

i'm out of my mind
i'm out of my mind

if i could stay here forever
no-one would ever have to know
you came to take me away

i'm out of my mind
there's no words to communicate to you
i'm out of my mind
there's no words to communicate to you

i'm out of my mind
there's no words to communicate to you
i'm out of my mind
now my mind can't communicate to you

i'm out of my mind
i'm out of my mind
i'm out of my mind
i'm out of my mind

melt

one look at you
and i'm tongue-tied
as you move in time
with the flickering light
yeah you're moving with the lights

all i can do
is is to hold tight
as you move in time
with the flickering lights
and follow you endlessly toward the light

and ALL of my faculties have been removed
and i can't help but to lose myself in you
and i will melt
i will melt
i will melt
i will melt into you

and tonight looks like the world is on fire
seven motions, seven signs
to spend it with you
all i desire
as we move inside for the quickening time
c'mon follow me endlessly toward the light

and ALL of my faculties have been removed
and i can't help but to lose myself in you
and i will melt
i will melt
i will melt
i will melt into you

for one look at you
you know i'd pull the stars down
from the sky
for one look at you
you know i'd dash the universe night
just to bring you every light
for one look at you

and ALLL of my faculties have been removed
and i can't help but to lose myself in you
and i will melt
i will melt
i will melt
i will melt into you

for one look at you
you know i'd pull the stars down
from the sky
for one look at you
i would bring you every light

dirty lion

you were speaking in tongues
conversations
was it your god speaking?

were you coming undone?
was it nature
that showed you that

desire
colours all you see
your desire
desire
the only thing you seek

you say you're coming undone
and you've still got
a bad taste in your mouth

from the conversation
with the snake that
has left you reeling

and you learned how to crawl
like a real man
now you're like the rest

on your knees
i'll show you that

desire
colours all you see
your desire
desire
is everything

desire
colours all you see
your desire
desire
the only thing you seek

now you're writhing around
in your own mess
cos you lie down with the snakes
naked and so shamed
before god

but still you're speaking in tongues
and your god says:

desire
colours only you see
your desire
desire
is everything

desire
colours only you see
your desire
desire
the only thing you see

her song

i could bleed
does it make me the same as her?
i could show you things
but i feel that you have
seen it all before
and i breathe
does it make me the same as her?
and i feel and i know
i feel exactly the same as her

it can't be
exactly
i am not...
she is falling over you
how did it get so old?
how did it get so old?

it can't be
exactly
i am not...
she is falling over you
how did it get so old?
how did it get so old?

i can see
that it makes me the same as her
if i shake for you
does it make you feel
the way she made you feel

and i breathe
does it make me the same as her?
and i feel and i know
i feel exactly the same as her

it can't be
exactly
i am not...
she is falling over you
how did it get so old?
how did it get so old?

it can't be
exactly
i am not...
she is falling over you
how did it get so old?
how did it get so old?

and to think i was the one
that you pushed aside
i could breathe but i fear that i'm
breathing far behind
and over
falling over

i could bleed
does it make me the same as her?
i could show you things
but i feel that you
have seen it all before

and i breathe
does it make me the same as her?
and i feel and i know
i feel exactly the same as her

it can't be
exactly
i am not...
she is falling over you
how did it get so old?
how did it get so old?

it can't be
exactly
i am not...
she is falling over you
how did it get so old?
how did it get so old?

i saw the glimmer man
figured i'd get myself a brand new glow

i need a brand new glow
i need a brand new glow
i need a brand new glow

half past four
and i'm still awake
half-lit and eyes moving way too slow

won't you
lend me your shimmer man
figured i'd get myself a brand new

why won't you bring me something
am i hysterical?
why won't you bring me something
i need a brand new glow
why won't you bring me something

why won't you bring me something
why won't you

i need a brand new glow
i need a brand new glow
i need a brand new glow

half past five
and i'm still awake
my limbs stuck to the furniture

tick tock
pounding my head away
figured i'd get myself a new glow

half past six
and i'm still awake
half headed i to the dive and roll
won't you lend me your shimmer man

why won't you bring me something
am i hysterical?
why won't you bring me something
i need a brand new glow
why won't you bring me something
am i hysterical?
why won't you bring me something
i need a brand new glow
why won't you

i got everything i need
and then some
hello now it's time to go

everything i need

i could have asked for grey
or anything at all
i'm feeling slightly wounded
won't you kiss it better?
yeah that's the way i like it
the pain's not mine now

hello now it's time to go
i got everything i need
and then some
hello now it's time to go
i got everything

so happy
without you

so happy
without you

'cos i've got mine

hello now it's time to go
i got everything i need
and then some
hello now it's time to go
i got everything

nemesis

you've heard the one
about the man who they say
had the golden touch

he used to mingle
with the mortals
til his lady had too much

she had to find
the reason for his sway
it seems i talk too much

her vengeance stopped me
dead in my tracks
now i can't speak

nemesis

ooh, nemesis
she's got the wrong girl
ooh, nemesis
she's got the wrong girl
ooh, nemesis
she's got the wrong girl

and now she caught me
after her man but
she was mistaken

and now i find my true love's gaze
is fixed only upon himself
the only charm she'll let me wear

is to follow him and repeat
and i wither here beside him still
no body, just my voice

nemesis

ooh, nemesis
she's got the wrong girl
ooh, nemesis
she's got the wrong girl
ooh, nemesis
she's got the wrong girl

you know i wish i was
the right girl
you know i wish i was
the right girl for him
you know i wish i was
the right girl
you know i wish i was
you know i wish i was

nemesis

ooh, nemesis
she's got the wrong girl
ooh, nemesis
she's got the wrong girl
ooh, nemesis
she's got the wrong girl
ooh, nemesis
she's got the wrong girl

you know i wish i was
the right girl
