Dont Ask

You said if I got clean you’d take another walk with me
I’ve got no more reason not to
my new place has got a view smoking camels on the roof
while I sit here waiting on you
Don’t ask for much, don’t ask for much, don’t ask for much
Fighter planes and wireless
getting sleep and getting fed
A little air and time in the sun
Woke up aching in my bed with your voice stuck in my head
Now the question’s hanging on you
Don’t ask for much, don’t ask for much, don’t ask for much
when all I see closing in on me I can’t be rushed
go on rip me open I’m not for sale anymore
go on rip me open I’m not for sale anymore
Don’t ask for much, don’t ask for much, don’t ask for much
When all I see closing in on me, I can’t be rushed
When all I see closing in on me, I can’t be rushed

Run For Your LIfe
03:51

you better run for your life like I ran from mine
you take my advice if you don’t mind losing
through the Berlin streets like a two bit thief
why you so surprised it makes you feel alive
it was just yesterday you thought you had it made living high
but as these things sometimes do the weather changed on you
you’re out of time
leave the lights on when you’re not home so they don’t know you’re gone
you don’t stop running when you get tired of running, of running
leave the lights on when you’re not home so they don’t know you’re gone
you better run for your life run while you’re still young
cause I’d do anything to keep you alive
it was just yesterday you thought you had it made living high
but as these things sometimes do the weather changed on you
you’re out of time
leave the lights when you’re not home so they don’t know you’re gone
you don’t stop running when you get tired of running, of running
leave the lights on when you’re not home so they don’t know you’re gone
you don’t stop running when you get tired stop when you know you’re gone
you better run for your life like I ran from mine
you take my advice if you don’t mind losing

I Can See It Clear
03:52

i can see it clear
clear as the daylight
don’t stop when I say
stop whenever you like
could see it from here
could see that you want her
well you could have me whenever you want
I get so tired of it, I get so tired of it
the way the sun hits your face
you look so pure and I ache
I don’t want to be me
don’t want to be you
been watching the vultures on the roadside to see how they do it
I started leaning in, leaning into your blows
be careful what you get used to, you just might get used to it
and I’ve grown so tired of it, yes I’ve grown so tired of it
the way the sun hits your face you look so pure
oh how I love watching you go
but there’s so much about you I don’t understand
like why you dance in your underpants
but it’s a relief watching you go
it feels just like I’m dying watching you go
I’m a beetle in a jar, I’m not getting very far
Sick of cleaning up your mess, I’ve got no more feelings left
I would feel bad for you, if you didn’t act so cruel
I’m a beetle in a jar, I’m not going very far

Cut The Wire

the stars, the stars
the stars are out of rhythm and the lion’s in her cage
the dog is barking all night at the gate
and I know you so well
know each mole on you’re frame
no you better than them but it don’t mean a thing
what do I do now, What do I do now?
who am I to cut the wire when you’re the one in doubt
who am I to cut the wire when you’re the one who’s proud
all the stars are out of rhythm I watched them fall out of line
past the desert of the dead, below the ocean line
I could read you so well outside and in
looking at you now I can’t read a thing
who am I to cut the wire when you’re the one in doubt
who am I to cut the wire when youre the one who’s proud
who am I to cut the wire when you can’t say out loud
hello, hello, hello you you you you you you you
what do I do now, what do I do now, what do I do now, what do I do now?
who am I to cut the wire when you’re the one in doubt
who am I too cut the wire when you’re the one who’s proud
who am I to cut the wire when you can’t say out loud hello
hello, hello you you you you you you you, Hello, hello, hello you you you you
hello, hello? Hello you you you you you you you

by the time that you read this I will be gone
by the time that you read this I will be gone
oh Danny how the boys loved you
but no one knew a thing about you
what we have’s a dreaming boy
when he jumped we thought he’d fly
ears, feet, elbow, wet paint, children play in the street
watching it all go by…
oh Danny, there were stars all around your head
oh Danny, there were stars all around your head
when I go I won’t find you
even though I’ll want to
sha la la la la la la sha loo hoo
I’ll never be the type to live this way no no
no I’ll never be the type to live this way

Hunter

don’t say what is I know what is
you hunted me out love
in the morning time I’m feeling sun
but these shadows cover you
you’re a beast with a rose in your hair and dirt in your nails
stomping your feet like a child and your mystery is gone
oh wont you know me if you love me
you’re a hunter I’m a hole in your shoe
is this the best that you can do?
you’re a stranger to yourself
always feeling low no matter where you go
oh the line I’ve been towing
forwards would mean forgetting everything
you remember it all
forward would mean forgetting everything
you remember it all

Strange Moon
05:33
|
|

I believe you’re bad luck cause I’ve seen the way you get stuck
Hey man, are you hard of hearing? Said stay away from my children
There’s a rabbit under my skin, there’s a rabbit under my skin
and I’m changing under the strange moon
strange moon, strange moon, strange moon, strange moon
They’re talking to me but I just show teeth
and I feel it coming
its rising through the trees, the sick yellow moon
there’s a rabbit under my skin, there’s a rabbit under my skin
and I’m changing under the strange moon, strange moon, strange moon
and it’s shining through my room, through my room
my friend’s on the phone wondering where it is I go
chewing on a bone I need a place to be alone
behind my bright eyes something dark grows inside
strange moon come through my room
strange moon come through my room
and the light it shines it’s shining through my room, through my room

My KInd
03:22

|
I found it in the drawer its full of aches and bugs
I let it on fire cause I’m feeling bold
so I cracked the window to let in the cold
I’d burn it down if you weren’t around
and they’d say it’s just my kind of love
don’t say its just my kind of love
when they want us back and they’ll want us bad
don’t say its just my kind of love
we’re going on the road, this house just aint no home
let’s go to the country where the air is clean
going to the country where you aint so mean
I’d let you down if you weren’t around
and they’d say its just my kind of love
don’t say it’s just my kind of love
and when they want us back and they’ll want us bad
don’t say it’s just my kind of love, don’t say its just my kind of love

Too Good For love

I take a lot and I know it
I take a lot a lot a lot
I take a lot and I know it
I take a lot and it shows
my right hand it kept shaking, it kept shaking
Strange men walking down the street
like they don’t get no sleep
come on baby sit on my knee cause I’m a sweet sucking honey bee
they aint with me are they friends of yours
they aint with me are they friends of yours
kings of thieves and murderous priests
and behind it always a queen
I take a lot and I know it I take a lot a lot a lot
I take a lot and I know it I take a lot and it shows
where I come from everything is green, it’s too clean
they aint with me are they friends of yours
they aint with me are they friends of yours
two in your pocket and one in your shoe
and make sure nobody’s looking at you
I take a lot and I know it, I take a lot a lot a lot
I take a lot an I know it, I take a lot and it shows

Coffee
04:40

I like your LA
drinking coffee all afternoon
lay like dogs in the shade
waiting, restless
the worlds tallest man knew when the rain came
drag my shadow on the train and I’m graceless
I will be the one to tell you when it hurts enough
I will be the one to tell you when it hurts
I been scaling all the walls
trying to chase my thoughts
for too long I’ve been counting sheep
all the things I’ve never done and the battles that I almost won
but you’re lights still on
alone in a house of gold
its cold on my thrown
did you get everything you were looking for
did it change at all
I will be the one to tell you when it hurts enough
I will be the one to tell you when it hurts
I had the strangest dream
my teeth were falling out
for too long
I need a light to turn
I’ve been counting sheep
I need a light to turn
but you’re light’s still on
I need I light to turn me on
kept you waiting
