Silver

Swung from a chandelier
My planet sweet on a silver salver
Bailed out my worst fears
‘Cos man has to be his own saviour
Blind sailors
Imprisoned jailers
God tamers
No one to blame us

The sky is blue
My hands untied
A world that’s true
Through our clean eyes
Just look at you
With burning lips
You’re living proof
At my fingertips

Walked on a tidal wave
Laughed in the face of a brand new day
Food for survival thought
Mapped out the place where I planned to stay
All the way
Well-behaved
Just in case it slips away

The sky is blue
My hands untied
A world that’s true
Through our clean eyes
Just look at you
With burning lips
You’re living proof
At my fingertips

Nocturnal Me

An icecap fire, old burning wood
In a world of wire
Ignites our dreams of starry skies
It's you and me
Us realized our bigger themes

Take me internally
Forever yours
Nocturnal me

Do or die, what's done is done
True beauty lies on the blue horizon
Who or why? What's won is one
In pure disguise of vulgar suns

Take me internally
Forever yours
Nocturnal me

Whatever burns burns eternally
So take me in turns, internally
When I'm on fire, my body will be
Forever yours
Nocturnal me

Crystal Days

Here am I
Whole at last with a golden view
Looking for hope and I hope it's you
Splitting my heart cracked right in two
The pleasure of pain endured
To purify our misfit ways
And magnify our crystal days

Where are you?
Shadows only I can see
Looking for hope and you hope it's me
Tattered and torn and born to be
Building a world where we can
Purify our misfit ways
And magnify our crystal days

Purity magnify

Here am I
Whole at last with a golden view
Looking for hope and I know it's you
Splitting my heart cracked right in two
The pleasure of pain and joy to
Purify our misfit ways
And magnify our crystal days

The Yo Yo Man

Froze to the bone in my igloo home
Counting the days 'til the ice turns green
You know when Heaven and hell collide
There are no in-betweens

Flames on your skin of snow turn cold
Cold as the wind that blows
Through my headstone

Collecting the bones of my friends tonight
Sowing the seeds in a fruitless land
You know when prayers all hit the ground
There is no higher hand

Flames on your skin of snow turn cold
Cold as the wind that blows
Through my headstone

I'm the yo-yo man, always up and down
So take me to the end of your tether

Flames on your skin of snow turn cold
Cold as the wind that blows
Through our headstones

Thorn of Crowns

Aaaah-ahhh
Aaaah-ahhh

You set my teeth on edge
You set my teeth on edge
You think you're a vegetable
Never come out of the fridge

C-c-c-cucumber
C-c-c-cabbage
C-c-c-cauliflower
Men on Mars
April showers

Aaaah-ahhh
Aaaah-ahhh

You are a dying breed
You are a dying breed
You once was an Inca
Now you're a Cherokee

C-c-c-cucumber
C-c-c-cabbage
C-c-c-cauliflower
Men on Mars
April showers

You kick it
Kick it

Wait for me on the blue horizon
Blue horizon for everyone
Wait for me on a new horizon
New horizons for everyone

I wanna be 1 x 1 with you
I wanna be 1 x 1 with you

Aaaah-ahhh
Aaaah-ahhh

I've decided
To wear my thorn of crowns
I've decided
To wear my thorn of crowns
Inside out
Back to front
Upside down
All the way around
Down...

The Killing Moon

Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me up in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine

Fate up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until you give yourself to him

In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels
The killing moon will come too soon

Fate up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until you give yourself to him...

Seven Seas

Stab a sorry heart with your favourite finger
Paint the whole world blue
And stop your tears from stinging
Hear the cavemen singing
Good news they're bringing

Seven seas, swimming them so well
Glad to see my face among them
Kissing the tortoise shell

A longing for some fresher feeling
Belonging or just forever kneeling
Where's the sense in stealing
Without the grace to be it?

Seven seas, swimming them so well
Glad to see my face among them
Kissing the tortoise shell

Burning my bridges and smashing my mirrors
Turning to see if you're cowardly
Burning the witches with mother religious
You'll strike the matches and shower me in
Water games
Washing the rocks below
Taught and tamed
In time with tear flow

Seven seas, swimming them so well
Glad to see my face among them
Kissing the tortoise shell...

My Kingdom

I chop and I change
And the mystery thickens
There's blood on my hands
And you want me to listen?
To brawn or to brain
When the truth's in the middle
Born of the grain
Like all good riddles

B-b-burn the skin off
And climb the rooftop
Thy will be done
B-b-bite the nose off
And make it the most of
Your kingdom

You kill when you talk
And the enemy weakens
Your words start to walk
When you're not even speaking
If my heart is a war
Its soldiers are bleeding
If my heart is a war,
Its soldiers are dead

B-b-burn the skin off
And climb the rooftop
Thy will be done
B-b-bite the nose off
And make it the most of
Your kingdom

I've lost and I've gained
And while I was thinking
You cut off my hands
When I wanted to twist
If you know how to dance
To bony moroney
He's doing the ballet
On both of his wrists

B-b-burn the skin off
And climb the rooftop
Thy will be done
B-b-bite the nose off
And make it the most of
Your kingdom

You're a between-the-lines person
And your death is well overdue
You suck the foot that kicks you
You kiss the hand that hits you

Ten-a-penny...

Ocean Rain

All at sea again
And now my hurricanes
Have brought down this ocean rain
To bathe me again
My ship's a-sail
Can you hear its tender frame
Screaming from beneath the waves
Screaming from beneath the waves

All hands on deck at dawn
Sailing to sadder shores
Your port in my heavy storms
Harbors the blackest thoughts

I'm at sea again
And now your hurricanes
Have brought down this ocean rain
To bathe me again
My ship's a-sail
Can you hear its tender frame
Screaming from beneath the waves
Screaming from beneath the waves…
