I Feel Possesed

She said I could never do that
But I know you can, you are in my dream
We are one person not two of a kind
And what was mine is now in your possession

I could feel you underneath my skin
As the wind rushed in
Sent the kitchen table crashing
She said nobody move

Or I'll bring the house down
I hardly know which way is up
Or which way down
People are strange, God only knows
I feel possessed when you come round

It was one of those times
Wished I had a camera on me
6 foot now, off the ground
Well I know how that sounds, hmm

Look above you and beyond me too
That kind of view don't need an explanation
I'm not lying, not asking for anything

I just want to be there when it happens again
I hardly know which way is up
Or which way down
People are strange, God only knows
I feel possessed when you come round

Whenever you invade my home
Everything I know flies out the window
It's above you and beyond me too
I don't want an explanation
But I'll be there 

When you bring the house down
I hardly know which way is up
Or which way down
People are strange, God only knows
I feel possessed when you come round
People are strange
I feel possessed when you come round
I feel possessed x 3

Kill Eye

Barbitual
Kill eye, tumbling come out of the sky
Kill eye, a fiery retreat from the stars
Kill eye, came clambering over the wall
Kill eye, halfway to hell and beyond

I wanna be forgiven
I wanna laugh with children
Won't you ever forgive me
Please please forgive me
I wanna hug my mother
And the sky above her
I want the earth to open up
And hold me

Kill eye, shoot your way out of the bank
Kill eye, watch the security guard
Kill eye, you separate a man from his life

I wanna be forgiven
I wanna laugh with children
I wanna ride the pony
Be your one and only friend
Yes, I will love you till the end

Kill eye, halfway to hell and beyond

I wanna hug my mother
And the sky above her
I want the earth to open up x 2
Ooooooh

Into Temptation

You opened up your door
I couldn't believe my luck
You in your new blue dress
Taking away my breath
The cradle is soft and warm
Couldn't do me no harm
You're showing me how to give

Into temptation
Knowing full well the earth will rebel
Into temptation

A muddle of nervous words
Could never amount to betrayal
The sentence is all my own
The price is to watch it fail
As I turn to go
You looked at me for half a second
With an open invitation 
For me to go

Into temptation
Knowing full well the earth will rebel
Into temptation
Safe in the wide open arms of hell

We can go sailing in
Climb down, lose yourself when you linger long
Into temptation
Right where you belong

The guilty get no sleep
In the last slow hours of morning
Experience is cheap
I should have listened to the warning
But the cradle is soft and warm

Into temptation
Knowing full well the earth will rebel
Into your wide open arms
No way to break the spell
Break this spell
Don't tell

Mansion In The Slums

I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills }
Than a mansion in the slums                 }  x 2
The taste of success only lasts you
Half an hour or less
But it loves you when it comes
And you laugh at yourself
While you're bleeding to death

I'd much rather have a trampoline in my front room
Than an isolation tank
I wish I was a million miles away
From the manager's door
There is trouble at the bank
You laugh at yourself
As you go deep into debt
Laugh at yourself
While he's breathing down your neck

Who can stop me, with money in my pocket
Sometimes I get it free
The best of both worlds x 2

I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills
I'd much rather have a mansion, in the hills
Than a mansion in the slums
I'd much rather
What I mean is, would you mind if I had it all
I'll take it when it comes

And you laugh at yourself
While you're bleeding to death
And somebody else is always
Breathing down your neck
Laugh at yourself
While he's hanging over your head                

While he's breathing down your neck 
It'll soon be over
(Best of both worlds), with a mansion, a mansion
(Best of both worlds) over
(Best of both worlds) will soon be over

           ------------------------------------------------- 

When You Come

When you come across the sea
Me like a beacon guiding you to safety 
The sooner the better now
And when you come the hills
Will breathe like a baby
Pulled up heaving from the bottom of the ocean
And when you come to cover me with your kisses
Fresh like a daisy chained up in a lion's den
I'll know you by the thunderclap
Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions

And that is why
I stumble to my knees
And why underneath the heavens
With the stars burning and exploding
I know I could never let you down
When you come

When you come like an iceberg float in darkness
Smashing my hull send me to the bottom of the sea
I should know you better now
And when you come your majesty to entrap me
Prince of light receding
The sooner the better now
And when you come to cover me
With your kisses hard like armour
The sooner the better now
I'll know you by the thunderclap
Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions
Hey

And that is why
I stumble to my knees
And why underneath the heavens
With the stars burning and exploding
I know I could never let you down
When you come

She came out of the water
Into my horizon
Like a Cumulo Nimbus
Coming in from a distance
Burning and exploding X 2
Like a slow volcano
When you come x 2
Cover the ground 
With ashes x 2
Baby when you come
I'll bring chairs out
When you come
Burning and exploding
When you come x 2

           ------------------------------------------------- 

Never Be The Same

Don't stand around, like friends at a funeral
Eyes to the ground, it could have been you
Why do you weep, for the passing of ages
You slip with the back of your hand
You're taking it out on the one you love
I couldn't believe it

But we might still survive
And rise up through the maze
If you could change your life
And never be the same

How long must I wait, for you to release me
I pay for each mistake, while you suffer in silence
I could still have an easy life
But the lie ain't worth living
Once more will I hear you say

But we might still survive
And rise up through the maze
If you could change your life
And never be the same, never be the same

Don't stand around, like friends at a funeral
Eyes to the ground, don't suffer in silence
Cause we might still survive
And rise up through the maze
If you could change your life
And never be the same
And everytime I hear you
Never be the same
And everytime I mess up
Never be the same x 3
And everytime I hear you
And everytime I mess up
Never be x 3
Never be the same

Love This Life

Seal my fate
I get your tongue in the mail
No one is wise
Until they see how it lies
Love this life
Don't wait till the next one comes
Gonna pedal my faith
The wheels are still turning round, turn round

And maybe the day will come
When you'll never have to feel no pain
After all my complaining
Gonna love this life x 4

And so they threw you in jail
Whatever you've done
It was a million to one
And don't you just love this life
When it's holding you down
Gonna pedal my faith
The wheels are still turning round, turn round

So maybe the day will come
When you'll never have to feel no pain
After all my complaining
Gonna love this life x 4
Love

Here's something that you can do
Even if you think that I hate you
Stop your complaining, leave me defenseless
When you love this life
Gonna love this life x 2
Though you'll never know why
Gonna love this life
Gonna love

Sister Madly

Now you're heading down to get someone
Should've done what he had to do years ago
Position is coming through
All the people that you're standing on x 2

Now you're heading down to be someone
Someone that you've seen in a magazine
Your premonition is coming true
No baby you're not so green x 2
No baby you're nutso

Sister madly waking up the dead            }
You're systematically stepping on my head  } x 2

Now you're heading down to find something
Something that you buried in your back yard
The position is coming through
From all the dirt that you're digging up x 2

Now you're heading down to be somewhere
Somewhere you imagined in your wildest dream
The opposition is coming through
From all the people that you're standing on x 2
Now you better you'd better take a firm hand

Sister madly waking up the dead            }
You're systematically stepping on my head  } x 2

Now you're heading down to get someone
Someone that you should've had years ago  
The position is coming through
All the people that you're standing on x 3
You're hard to get a hand on

Sister madly waking up the dead            }
You're systematically stepping on my head  } x 2

In The Lowlands

Oh hell trouble is coming
Out here, panic and alarm
Black shapes gather in the distance
Looks like it won't take long

The first drops land on the window
The first sign that there's something wrong
Light rain and a head full of thunder
Which way x 2

2 days till I get to you
I'll be late if I ever get through
Where I go there'll be no kind welcome
Coming down upon me

Time will keep me warm
Feel my face
Now the insects swarm
In the lowlands
Fear will take the place of desire
And we will fan the flames from on high
Try for heavens sake

The sky fell underneath a blanket
The sun sank as the miles went by
Sit back with your head on the pillow
When you remember it makes you cry
Ghost cars on the freeway
Like friends that you thought you had
One by one they are disappearing

Time will keep me warm
Feel my face
Now the insects swarm
In the lowlands
Fear will take the place of desire
And we will fan the flames from on high

Better Be Home Soon

Somewhere deep inside, 
Something's got a hold on you
And it's pushing me aside, 
See it stretch on forever

And I know I'm right, for the first time in my life
That's why I tell you, you'd better be home soon

Stripping back the coats 
Of lies and deceptions 
Back to nothingness
Like a week in the desert

I know I'm right, for the first time in my life
That's why I tell you, you'd better be home soon

So don't say no, don't say nothing's wrong
Cause when you get back home maybe I'll be gone, oh, wo wo wo

When the lights go out
When you've had your fill, when there's nothing left

It would cause me pain 
If we were to end it
But I could start again
You can depend on it

And I know I'm right, for the first time in my life
That's why I tell you, you'd better be home soon, woh
That's why I tell you, you'd better be home soon
