Sleepfalling

Hush now my Darling
Trip back to sleep
I have taken all of our memories
And put them on the heap for the train.
I will leave you mein Liebling
I will leave you to sleep in this city of Winters
And God this cold falls right into my spine
And the damp here holds something divine
Away from these walls
Away from this room
And the soon to be blessings found here.
Take your ticket, take your truth
Take your time, take your groove to another Land
For your corner stand your ground
Be the maker of your town, be your own true God
In this city of Winters
Where the Babies are Kings
And the Muttis push pushing
Their wagons through dog shit and honey men,
Amen.
God this cold falls, falls right into my spine
And the damp here holds something divine
Away from these walls
Away from this room
And the soon to be blessings found here.
You know this ticket won't come twice
On this train bound for Eden
Through this bitterness of night
You decide, this is the time to let go.

He Goes
02:43
|

He got legs that run
He got feet that groove
He got hands so restless
Oh no, this one's gonna hurt
This one's gonna crash like thunder
Maybe its time to cut your losses
no I won't give it up...
He was never late
For the train, that took him away
From the city that made him grey
To the palace prince that bought his dreams.
You made friends with the god
of ancient tides
The lover of goodbye...
Go, move, run – once you feel its over.
Go, move, leave, run – once you feel its over.
This lonesome road,
This ocean sea
This wish, this dream the cup,
that found its way from god to me,
Maybe he will find a home tonight
Maybe for a while.
No I won't give it up
Go, move, run – once you feel its over
Go, move, leave, run – once you feel its over

That Thing No More
03:03
|

Keep me on this road of Gods and Fairytales
Down with the noise of the me parade
Down with the delusions of man
A dawning of a generation of Desperates
Building the cities of choice and chance
Breathing the lies of idiots
Hold me down to this ground
And though this may not be happiness
At least its real at least its sober
And maybe its the road you gave up long ago
And maybe its the way you gave up long ago
So you don't do that thing no more
And life has made you rich
And though the waters run
For the thirst of some there are dangers
Beware the hand of he
That taketh you away
You may be rain, you may be fire
Yes its the earth you're made of
You're not a demi-god no!
Hold me down to this ground
And though this may not be happiness
At least its real at least its sober
And maybe its the way gave up long ago
And maybe its the road you gave up long ago
So you don't do that thing no more
And life has made you rich

Here I Almost Am
03:22
|
|||
I don't need no master plan, to get me through
Don't need no mantra man, or your voodoo
Just one moment of enlightenment and I'm done
Watch me run.
I don't need no St Michael, to fight my way
Don't need Monsieur Jacques Brel to sing me:
“Ne me quitte pas”, for when I go
I'll go a long, long way.
Here I am almost every part of me
Every cell, every breath, every pore of me
Comin' alive like a galaxy
Tripping away on a mouth full of stars and a breath from beyond
And all my sorrows fall
My sorrows fall
Almost here I almost am here I am almost...
So take that promise from its grave
And put it in that sacred, secret space
To find again one lost and lonely night
Where you don't know your left from right
So shall it be when the fear is gone
So shall you say to Jacques:
“Mais non, je ne regrette de rien”
So shall you make your prayer to the Gods:
Give me grace, give me power for this race
That I don't need to run
But I don't need no
no, no, no, love me do
And you can't put me under the gun
Oh, and shoot this Fool
Wake me up, when this nightmare's over.
Almost here I almost am here I am

Dance Alone
03:09
|
|||
Should you hurt just a little while
Should you wait just a little more
Should you wonder if it's a lie
Should you hang off of every word
And the rivers rage
And the rivers meet
And the river is dying
And the river is weak
And the river moves
And the river breathes
And the river is holding on
And maybe I'd rather dance alone
And maybe I would rather dance alone
Should you hurt just a little while
Should you wait just a little more
Should you wonder if it's a lie
Should you hang off of every word
So it's you that I've come to
And I stand before you now
Hoping that my life won't break
And it's all because I asked myself why
should you hurt just a little while
Should you wait just a little more
Should you wonder if it's a lie
Should you hang off of every word
And maybe I would rather dance alone
So I will rather dance alone

Golden Boy
02:58
|
|||
I'm in that crap fight again
And I'm hoping that when you come back I'll be more than this.
So come back, come honey, come quick
Before I become sick with despair
And I lose all my hair to it.
And you know what you want
So I'll just follow you
And you can take me home
Wherever that is, you choose.
Do, do you take me with you when you go?
When you go take me with you, do.
The Golden Boy living with me
The prince of the moon at my side.
And you know the way...
Do, do you take me with you when you go?
When you go take me with you, do.
In comes the rain, and it comes - when it comes - too hard.
Drowning your name in a puddle of mud and shoe shine
In comes the rain, drowning your name.
Do, do you take me with you when you go?
When you go take me with you, do.
