Timely, elegant and amplified
Tangled up in copper wire
Windin’ round electric bones
All night, howlin’ in my sleep
Dog fight, middle of the street
Oh my boy, ya better get yourself on home
In ghostly night gowns they ran under the moon
If we don’t lay down they’ll surely run us through
Turn every light out we’re safe inside your room
until it's loud again
wind started singin like a warning bell
She was a little too quiet I knew something was wrong with her
I pretend it doesn’t burn like hell
And let my long list get a little longer
Throwin wishes down a poison well
We never quite figured out just how far down it goes
like an arrow through a turtle shell
that was meant for you and you alone
Marigold Magdalene
Where will we run to now?
I’m tired of traveling
When can we settle down?
Crawling
Back to your doorstep
Back to your old friend’s
Open arms
One more time for turbulence (self defense)
And one more time for pride
One more time for arrogance (confidence)
The sword stuck in my side (needle in my eye)
One more night that I’ll pretend
The problem wasn’t always mine
One more time for self defense
And one more time for pride
One more time for confidence
The needle in my eye
One more night that I’ll forget
The bottom didn’t bury me live
(You were better before) Bare and thin
(You were pale on the floor) look at the state you’re in
(It was about time) drowning in bathtub gin
Go home

If you knew
what I have done,
You wouldn’t stand by me
I’m betting you’d run
Alright you got what you wanted
Now put both hands on the ground
I just need to figure this out
I know they can but I hope they don’t
Get their hands on the note full of words ya wrote
While the lights are off and there’s no one home
We could only hope, we could only hope
Heavy headed when I’m speaking of the courage it took
To explain myself and nothing is the way that it looks
the way it looks it isn’t nearly Half as bad as it sounds
When they rifled through his shed you won’t believe what they found
And I think you need to know
And I think that you should go
How are you baby? (How are you baby?)
Are we doin just fine (yeah we’re doin just fine)
You some kind of maniac mama
Gonna murder me down the line? (
I never thought I’d die until it crossed my mind
And now it’s what I’m thinking about all the time
There is nothing you can do but I’m so grateful that you try
But we’ve know it all along goes on and on
s
Watched three statesmen rush into the basement
Shouting “Look out below”
I knew exactly what that look upon your face meant
It was time to go it was time to go
How are you baby? (How are you baby?)
Are we doin just fine (yeah we’re doin just fine)
You some kind of maniac mama
Gonna murder me down the line? (
I never thought I’d die until it crossed my mind
And now it’s what I’m thinking about all the time
There is nothing you can do but I’m so grateful that you try
But we’ve know it all along goes on and on
You called me down to your room
What do you want from me
Said we belong together
Now put a child in me
You were out of your mind
And let the poison speak
I have to leave you behind
you’re such a rotten thing
And I still hear you screaming
Stay with me

Dogs buried in the yard how
Long impossible to tell now
These bones had a home in a house that we own
Mostly quiet now beneath complete unknown
Vocal break
You thought forever meant forever
blood relative child you know better
Compliment leather with more leather
I thought forever meant forever
Strong, sound, for an old hound
loud love out of your mouth
Burned black laying face down
palms clean no-one knows how
2x
Don’t look now
They’re coming through the window
paradise burn it all down

We fought
To be wanted
To be loved
And eventually fall apart
By the hundreds
By the thousands
Bending backwards and breaking our bones
Oh the wreckage
Of the lawless
The debauchery
Congratulations take a bow
It’s a little but an awful lie
It’s a little but an awful lie
A little venom in both your eyes
You’re gonna wish that you died tonight
All I wanted was a flowerless spirit
Deep inside a heart where I know you’ll never hear it
They’re gonna me a hell of a time
If I come back here
Disconnect
Misdirect
There’s too many hands
On the wheel
Don’t resist!
Do not resist!
We can’t understand
how to heal
-Chorus
No don’t take them
Take me
The sexual underworld honoree
Why am I shaking all the time?
You’re only just a dream
No don’t take them
Take me
The sexual underworld honoree
Why am I shaking all the time?
You’ve always been a dream
We fought
To be wanted
To be loved
And eventually fall apart
By the hundreds
By the thousands
Bending backwards and breaking our bones
It was state of the art
How you could ignore
What tore this apart
-Chorus
No don’t take them
Take me
The sexual underworld honoree
Why am I shaking all the time?
You’re only just a dream
No don’t take them
Take me
The sexual underworld honoree
Why am I shaking all the time?
Don’t collapse
don’t relax
Don’t forget
What you came here for
I drank the whisky river
And headed for the sea
The thirst was nearly endless
And someday you’ll believe
The rotting dog that I became
The devil wearing skin
He’s calling every whore in town
Will someone let them in
There’s plenty of room for all of you
Just not me
Derelict
Has been
I’ve been my own end

I wore a mask while you undressed
My eyes are wide while I obsess
I buy the lies at your expense
Not half as blind as I pretend
Run
Run
Rest your head
You’re still innocent
You’ll feel it again
Collapsing slow like
Nothing that you’ve ever known
Like nothing that you’ve ever known
Climb up the walls and crawl my skin
Lightning near by while I dive in
Stay out tonight and never end
My dragonfly see you again
Run
Run
Rest your head
You’re still innocent
You’ll feel it again
Collapsing slow like
Nothing that you’ve ever known
Like nothing that you’ve ever known
Full eclipse
Show me a sign
Ignite my body on the power lines
When I resist
Your grand design
You gave your body to the dragonfly
