Come Dance Tonight

Boy it was so loud, my eyes were searching through the crowd
Cause for a while I just felt nothing, I felt nothing at all
Standing on her own, the halo of the phones around her
Put her in that spotlight for that primal eyelock
And I’ve been waiting, waiting for a flame to rise
How could I know one plus one was three when I was drowning in her oaky eyes?
She’ll say “love, it’s getting me higher”
But I know that ice is safer than fire
Baby please, don’t say you’re not coming
On my knees, I’ll be pulling and strumming
Boy it was so loud, my eyes were searching through the crowd
Cause for a while I just felt nothing, I felt nothing at all
Standing on her own, the halo of the phones around her
Put her in that spotlight for that primal eyelock
And I’ve been waiting, waiting for a spark, a flame
How could I know one plus one was three when she threw the match and walked away?
She’ll say “love, it’s getting me higher”
But I know that ice is safer than fire
Baby please, don’t say you’re not coming
On my knees, I’ll be pulling and strumming
If you see the light - come down tonight, come down tonight, come down tonight
If you see the light - come down tonight, come down tonight, come down tonight
If you see the light - come down tonight, come down tonight, come down tonight
If you see the light - come down tonight, come dance tonight, come dance
She’ll say "love, it’s getting me higher"
She’ll say "love, it’s getting me higher"
She’ll say "love, it’s getting me higher"
She’ll say love
She’ll say love

Old July
03:45
|
|||
|
Following that light, they all have told me it’s a suicidal mission,
But I rather burn out than keep running on low emission
Can’t bend space or time, but even if I could, I wouldn’t dream of
Taking shortcuts to that planet meant for you and I
And we’ve got our options, but since we locked eyes they’re all in my blindspot
Maybe it’s that fake abundance that still keeps you undecided
Flying through the endless night, shifting gears of black and white,
And my mind’s a Gemini, half a thrill and half a fright
But all it takes me is one glance at old July and I know,
It’s where I wanted to go all along
I want it even when it’s dark and you’re flying low
It must be love or madness, or something silly in between
Said turn your ship around, this ain’t the time for us to start this motion,
But just as I agree, I’m thrown back in the interstellar ocean
Maybe cause it’s been so long since I could filter out the sirens’ songs
Take my hand and say no more, for I’m the rushing fool that you’ve been waiting for
And all it takes me is one glance at old July and I know,
It’s where I wanted to go all along
I want it even when it’s dark and I’m flying low
It must be something darling
Cause all it takes me is one glance at old July and I know,
It’s where I wanted to go all along
I want it even when it’s dark and we’re flying low
There must be something darling, I mean that sun’s still shining
I see a golden lining, just over the horizon
I see a golden lining, I mean that sun’s still shining
There must be something darling, I mean that sun’s still shining
I see a golden lining, just over the horizon
I see a golden lining, I mean that sun’s still shining.

Lady Silver
03:13
|

|
Smoke stained walls, midnight call
A mercedes on patrol
In my room, through the gloom
Hold my breath,
Don’t let them see me when I’m helpless at your
Velvet blue waterfall
Wash my thoughts, take it all
With half shut crimson eyes
No surprise,
She’s a forbidden fruit from a lost garden
Lady silver wraps her arms around you
You forget the troubles you have had before
Supersonic, multicolour candy
Makes this world just slightly easier to adore
Milky way, speed of light
Where are we off tonight?
Amber red phoenix tail
Leave this cell
Set to inspire, baby come light my fire
Lady silver wraps her arms around you
You forget the troubles you have had before
Supersonic, multicolour candy
Makes this world just slightly easier to adore
Lady silver wraps her arms around you
Lady silver wraps her arms around you (You forget the troubles you have had before)
Lady silver wraps her arms around you
Lady silver wraps her arms around you

Happy Anyway
04:13
|

With an empty orchestra behind me, who the hell am I singing for?
As if in some cheesy rom-com you’ll just walk behind that door
And I crave for happy endings, deep inside I think we all
Even when we play the cynics - baby don’t jump, you won’t fall
Right behind the spinning cymbal with no shotguns to be shot
And the chorus like a phantom bullet you’ve just sent right through my heart
Yet I give my best performance, usually do when I’m alone
In my mind you’re by the radio singing the same sing along
But I still love this tune, yeah I still love it
Cause it reminds me sometimes happiness and sadness go together hand in hand
And you said I don’t understand
Baby, you don’t understand
And I’ve got nothing else to say, it’s a divine mess
In a drowning boat I heard the echo, heavy breath and empty stare
And I’m sure I was just running, but I can’t remember where
It takes more than just few seconds to recall what started all
And the end has no beginnings when the room becomes so small
But I still love this tune, yeah I still love it
Cause it reminds me sometimes happiness and sadness go together hand in hand
And you said I don’t understand
Maybe I don’t understand
And I’ve got nothing else to say, it’s a divine mess
Oh darling, love is not a game of chess
We couldn’t plan ahead, we take one wrong turn and we’re dead
And I have tried to pay the price, promising stupid sacrifices
When meant to be wasn’t just math, and you have chosen the soul searching path without me
But I still love this tune, yeah I still love it
Cause it reminds me sometimes happiness and sadness go together hand in hand
And you said I don’t understand
Fuck it, I do understand
And I’ve got nothing else to say, I hope you’re happy anyway.

The Prestige
03:52
|
|||
|
Been showing tricks across land and sea
Every time I thought I don’t have it in me
Some were okay, some were just good
And some were mindblowing, depends on the mood
But then I dug up something ancient
And you wanted to know it real bad
So I shared it with you, I mean what else could I do?
Took me months to figure it out
But your heart was still broken,
And I became just a token
Three sevens at the slot machine
And you don’t even know it
What a cruel trick
And people are rhyming one more speech about timing, circumstances and all that rubbish
So many of us dream to be brave, but look for all the reasons not to
So many of us want to feel heat, but will do anything to stay colder
And I guess when I showed you there’s no trickery here I was hoping that you’d be a bit bolder
But your heart was still broken,
And I became just a token
Three sevens at the slot machine
You pulled the lever and then left the screen
What a cruel trick
Yeah, maybe I showed you the prestige too soon
Cause it felt like we pulled real magic
So I wanted to tell you only the truth
That there ain’t no logic to this
Hit or miss baby, hit or miss
Hit or miss
Now my heart is the same,
But I can’t really show it
Three sevens at the slot machine
One day you just might know it
What a trick on us both
Out of sight, out of mind
Are you still watching closely?..
It’s a killer, alright.

Move Away
03:48
|
|||
|
Up on the stage they were stood tall with poker faces
So proud and handsome but afraid to bell the cat
Cause when the reader’s block is bigger than the writer’s
The poets of the future have no rabbits in their hats
And they’re too cool to talk to you, deep lost in character
How can they act so big when we are all still so, so small
It’s not a question of humility, but expectations and ability
And if you howl so loud, you better shake the moon
Cause we’ve been waiting for so long, just move away, just move away
If you got nothing new to say, just move away, just move away
If you’re here to self satisfy, you might as well turn off the lights behind you
Wave bye bye,
And move away
I guess what I attempt to say is that it’s our turn
The ones who want the bogus fireworks to stop
So keep your gunpowder for someone who’s too loud and
Shove it up their arse, if all they want is to touch the stars
And we’ve been waiting for so long, just move away, just move away
If you got nothing new to say - just move away, just move away
If you’re here to self satisfy, you might as well turn off the lights behind you
Wave bye bye,
And move away
Wax wings under the sun,
An empty barrel of a gun,
A picture on the wall,
And you’re not growing old
White flower on the river bank,
A rusty stubborn crank
I know you spilled the ink
And your boat is about to sink
Just move away, Just move away, Just move away.
Cause we’ve been waiting for so long, just move away, just move away
If you got nothing new to say - just move away, just move away
If you’re here to self satisfy, you might as well turn off the lights behind you
Wave bye bye,
And move away
