she is re-creation

she, intoxicated by thee 

she has the slow sensation that 

he is levitating with she

jesus christ you have confused me

cornered, wasted, blessed and used me

hard without you being here

much easier with you near

when the night is slow

do your eyelids ever close

caught spirits in your waking woes?

well the drunken clown's still hanging 'round

but it's plain the laughter's all died down

the tears you tried so hard to hide

are flowin'

all of this can be broken

all of this can be broken

hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground

father's day

and i was strong, strong in the sun

i thought i'd see when day is done




now i'm weaker than the palest blue

oh so weak in this need for you

take me somewhere i can grow

give me something let me go

tell me something i don't know

i am not my rosy self

left my roses on my shelf

take the wild ones, they're my favourites

it's the side effects that save us

sometimes i don't know where this dirty road is taking me

sometimes i don't even know the reason why

but i guess i'll keep on gamblin', lots of booze and lots of ramblin'

well, it's easier than just waitin' 'round to die

you keep a lot of secrets

and i keep none

wish i could go back

and keep some

i have only two emotions

careful fear and dead devotion 

i can't get the balance right

haven't stopped your smoking yet

so i'll share your cigarette 

just to feel it in my fingers
